    I think this game is just a wallpaper generator at this point

    I *knew* I should have written down where I parked my ship.

    One of my first worthy Xbox screenshots.

    Taking back our systems is going mighty fast - an hour for the entire CZ with a Hydra at the end

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 01:12 PM PST

    First time at Peak

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 01:50 AM PST

    Heading to Witch Head Nebula to aid rescue efforts when I noticed the nearby nebulas combined into a sloth face in the sky...

    Forgot how much fun the Chieftain can be for PvE combat! [XB]

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 12:02 PM PST

    Undiscovered, until today.

    A nice welcome on my first visit to an engineer. o7

    Just a reminder since damaged stations are back, this is what I was able to do last time.

    A Year of Elite - Day#5: Preparing for the 25,000 light year round trip, the Sapient Pearwood takes on resources for the journey

    Triple Elite finally!!! [1,813 scouts have been harmed during the grinding of this achievement]

    Triple Elite finally!!! [1,813 scouts have been harmed during the grinding of this achievement]

    ​

    Triple Elite Finally

    Been wanting to get an npc crew for the longest time now but didn't want to negatively affect my combat xp so decided to go for it. Started at 60% Dangerous; 5 days and 1,813 dead scouts later, I've finally achieved it. Probably would have been faster if I postponed and started today at Server reset with the AX CZs now available again.

    With the T10, there was never really any danger of getting destroyed and the weapon placement (2 ax top, and 2 ax bottom) made sure that there's always turrets pointing at the scouts wherever they go. In any case, the SuperCruise Assist module has been quite valuable as it allows me to ignore the 7sec rule and make the hop from 1 nhss to another much faster.

    Now, for npc crew, is it still better to hire the lowest npc and just rank them up? Where to go to rank them fast?

    Edit: Build added as requested. https://s.orbis.zone/5maz

    As for SCA, what I do is turn on SCA, line it up and when you reach 7 secs, move out of alignment and align again when its 4 sec or less. It will go back to SCA and will stop at destination even if its way too fast. Takes practice though, at first I was still overshooting but later on, I dont overshoot anymore.

    After my expedition to the core, I decided to head way above the plane and do some exploring. A couple of weeks later, I am taking a diagonal trip down for my first trip to Colonia. Along the way I have found a few undiscovered Neutron systems, but this one takes the cake...

    Posted: 08 Jan 2020 08:09 PM PST

    First night out of The Bubble and into the silence again, with a view on the Galaxy and a double sunrise. Exploring is the best profession!

    _Venting_ Rescue Missions are Irritating

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 09:06 AM PST

    So I just got back from four months in the black. Good times. Looking to re-engage the populated worlds.

    Find out the Thargoids have returned. Okay, good timing. Gives me something to do that's new for me. I fly over to Atlas in my big-ass Beluga, got me a docking computer because I keep getting stuck in the f*****g mail slot.

    So, I land. Launching heatsinks left and right while my shieldless ship is getting tossed around by explosions. I'm loving it. Intense, great sound design, real sense of danger, etc, etc.

    I get a fine for "blocking" the station entrance while trying to delicately navigate my massive-ass ship through the slot, as the docking computer isn't working. Presuming it has to negotiate with the station, which is offline. Irritating, but I get it. Okay. But I get this fine.

    So I've blown up twice before getting stuck. Now I've cleared it, but got a fine. So I land. And now I can't take any passengers because I'm a 'criminal?' Like, your station is on F*****G fire. Who wouldn't jump on the first damn ship they could, even if it was flown by Darth F*****G Vader!?

    So now I gotta leave. Pay fines. Come back and hope I don't get more. What the f**k? I'm trying to save lives and have fun here, Elite.

    What lore friendly reason do you think there is for some bridges and cockpits to be so large?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 10:48 AM PST

    There's no artificial gravity on ships and although commanders have mag-boots to walk around (like The Expanse) having played games set in zero G having such large spaces can be a bit tricky. If you drift off slowly in one direction without realising it, it could be a long time before you can get another hand hold. Having watched One Year In Space on Netflix (a documentary covering astronaut Scott Kelly as he is sent off onto the International Space Station for one year to test the impact of space travel on the human body) one thing he says he looked forward to is putting things down and them not drifting off. So having large spaces seems like a design liability if you do need to get something and it's in this large space you've got to push off and aim for.

    So what lore friendly reason do you think there is for some bridges and cockpits to be so large?

    Even now, chaos crawls forth from the infernal void. The gnashing jaws of death stretch wide and the Far God waits for you there. He is the most vile and ancient one; the end of all things. For a time, the Galaxy will be consumed by violence and fury, but it will end in silence, darkness, and death.

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 01:19 AM PST

    TIL you can get Guardian Ancient Keys as a commodity reward for doing Anti-Thargoid massacre missions

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 02:20 AM PST

    Ah. Well, If sentinels can levitate, why not this thing?
