Drake_263 posted:That said, the calculations seem to heavily (ha!) favor the bigger, fatter ship in the equation - you could probably ram the poo poo out of a Cobra or the like in an uparmored Sidey, but you'd likely just bounce off an Anaconda. I had immense fun crunching small ships passing through a station's docking slot in my fully loaded type 9 during the trade phase of the beta last year.

lee_ars posted:For you fine goony folk who are following "Fangs," the web comic, I've put together a big-rear end 167-page PDF of all ten parts, complete with some nice formatting and an author's note and everything, real official-like. It's like an actual graphic novel! I'm guessing by the title that is either: 1) lovely vampire mary-sue porn. 2) an unofficial Elite tie-in, based on the snake name motif of some of the ships. I'm guessing it's (1). Edit: well colour me impressed, it is an elite comic.

Rectus posted:Yeah, gimme my window Garfield and Aisling hug pillow Tentacle Penis joystick anyone? A good tip for explorers out near the galactic core, at about -1000,-1000,26000 (ie a 1000 light years to the left and 1000 light years down from the centre) there is a huge mess of neutron stars and black holes. I tagged a good few dozen or so without even trying. Forgot to take a screenshot, but found a terraforming candidate orbiting a neutron star in a trinary system of 2 neutron stars around a black hole primary.

Okay, stupid question I know, but do those community missions pay better or something? I.e. is there any incentive to deliver meaty bear asses or whatever to Bacon or is it just normal trading profits?

Dante80 posted:Yep, pretty much. I played that game for years in the 90's without understanding that. At first, I just paused and selected the enemy ship, then clicked the autopilot button. This brought it in my sights, but one out of three times I collided. That's me blown away. I never realised that was possible, my solution was get the biggest ship in the game. Panther clipper, I think, bung a plasma accelerator in the top and bottom turrets and kill the hostile ship before it's ai kamikazed into me.

Something I've never quite got my head around with the current Elite universe set up. With a well kitted out Asp explorer I could travel 26k light years in about a month of play time which worked out at 1-2 hours on a weekday night and 3-4 hours a day at the weekend. While I imagine anything being used for colonisation wouldn't have half the jump range, I'm honestly curious why there aren't distant colonies scattered all over the Galaxy. I'm sure that the shittiest colony ship must be able to do a thousand or so light years per a day at a minimum, so why there aren't space Mormons building a new colonial life far away from Earth I do not know.

Naturally Selected posted:So if I have about 100M right now, is it worthwhile to poo poo-fit a python or something to run robigo or other long-range trading missions, or am I better off sticking with the ASP? Robigo runs *may* be getting merged in tomorrows update, so I wouldn't upgrade your ship for that. An A class combat python is approx 200m credits. But if the robigo run isn't buggered tomorrow then the Asp is about the best lower cost ship for the job. Fit A class jump drive, thrusters and energy capacitor. D class pretty much everything else, take 96 tons of cargo hold and the rest as fuel tanks and you are sorted.

A few pages ago someone mentioned fitting out a Python for farming civvies from thargoid busted stations? Assuming no engineering, what loadout would people suggest? How many passenger cabins etc. Edit: assume I'm starting from a pre-horizons fully A rated combat python.
