    @EliteDangerous: "Greetings Commanders! The 30% discount on modules and ships to stock Fleet Carrier Outfitting and Shipyards has ended early to prevent a potential exploit. The overall discount on purchasing Fleet Carriers themselves will remain as intended until next Friday."

    Elite Dangerous companion app - I need a name!

    Elite Dangerous companion app - I need a name!

    I've been tinkering with this for a few weeks (and posted some shots of simple proof of concept once before) but have made some progress and thought folks might find it interesting.

    It's a Windows and Mac companion app for Elite Dangerous that works both as desktop application (e.g. to alt-tab out to, or run on a second monitor) and can be connected to via any number of browsers (e.g. on a laptop or tablet or another computer) that gives real time updates from the game and combines it data from third party sites (EDDB, CSV files folks have complied, etc) that I need to credit.

    It's designed to be both fun and immersive, in keeping with the in-game universe look and feel and with rendering animation and glitch effects (nothing too annoying) - but also to be useful, such as integrating trade and map data and automagically suggesting things like the closest resource traders, engineers, known hotpots, etc.

    Once I have the CMDR, Ship and Navigation views down I would like to start looking at things like supporting gameplay, like "just for fun" player driven missions to go exploring, trading, etc that folks can write stories for if they want to.

    This is all just for fun, not a commercial project. I've done most of the graphics, icons, etc. (including some of the graphics which are generated/composited in real time; there are actually different textures and planets for different bodies but I like the aesthetic of limiting the pallet) but I still have some place holder assets am using (e.g. from the Elite Dangerous assets project at https://edassets.org/) that I would want to seek permission to retribute before using.

    I am not sure how much of an issue looking too much like Elite Dangerous might be for Frontier and hope that by being a non-commercial project that won't be an issue, but there are always options there if it's a problem. I would quite like to do themes anyway, including Elite Dangerous UI theme support but I also thought it would be fun to have themes like a Seegson terminal (from Alien), LCARS, etc.

    Something I need help with is a good name. I've been using EDV as a place holder project name but I didn't realize it's also used by the Elite Dangerous Veterans group and I don't want to steal it so could do with snappy name and would welcome suggestions!

    Just wanted to share this close call I had because I wasn't looking at the screen, enjoy.

    PSA: to owners of FC in Alcor - please, jump out your carrier as soon as you can, for the next one week.

    Posted: 15 Oct 2021 09:32 AM PDT

    It looks like if you buy a carrier, and it gets delivered to a nearby system, you can outfit it there, until you jump with it.

    But those, who already have an FC, need to jump in to Alcor to outfit it. So if few of owners could jump out ...

    Because you can buy a carrier, even if the system is full, your FC will simple go to a nearby system, but you can't outfit it, only in systems with carrier administration. And only the Alcor one gives discount.

    Let's help others to buy and outfit a carrier with this discount.

    The New Pilots Initiative Gank Evasion Workshop

    Posted: 15 Oct 2021 02:46 AM PDT

    The New Pilots Initiative Gank Evasion Workshop

    https://preview.redd.it/a948c4b35lt71.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=c99ab66cc56713e51b3061e9bc06fad5a3d2a588

    You love to play Elite Dangerous as an MMO in Open Play? But you struggle with continuous rebuys or get murdered repeatedly in certain systems blocked by player opposition?
    Then do not worry, this workshop is for you!
    The Gank Evasion Workshop involves three areas in which you can acquire and apply necessary knowledge, notably Supercruise, Interdiction and Normal Space.
    On the 16. October @ 9PM UTC you'll be able to ask any related question to some of the best PvPers of the game about the this's and that's of organic PvP, ultimately including how to avoid falling victim to any gank scenario. This involves discord text and voice channels for 1to1 mentoring, should you want that, as well as our event channel being used for general ontopic conversations and questions outside of the former.
    The workshop will be Open for everyone until sunday and roughabout last one day, so there's plenty of time to stop by our Discord .

    What you need:
    - move your ship and assets you want to bring to Whitson Hub, Meliae as that is where we are going to gather and start off for the more practical ingame activities
    - optionally a couple rebuys for your ships, in any case.
    - create or copy an appropriate build of your current main ship, preferably via https://coriolis.io/ "Appropriate" builds in this scenario are lightly engineered (Farseer engineering only) or unengineered medium and small ships designed to complete normal tasks in Open Play, preferably not pure combat builds. We do this because players who experience that unengineered builds are seemingly difficult if not impossible to avoid ganks in can learn and better understand how to optimize and fly their ships and develop further confidence to perform in whatever more advanced builds they build later on in their game progression.
    - skim over the Gank Evasion Guide in https://discord.com/channels/529089208254464001/530266477618528256/766751153903108146
    and/or
    - watch Rinzlers tldr on Gank Evasion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh9AWV_BWo0
    - beers and snacks, maybe some hard liquor if you desire, thick sticks to keep stray raccoons at bay

    About:
    This Event is hosted by and on the New Pilots Initiative Discord, which you will need to join to participate. ( https://discord.gg/NEWP )
    Chances are you will be greeted by a mentor in a reception channel. If that's not the case please follow the instructions in that channel and add that you're joining for this event.
    Server rules and certain Open Play PvP Etiquettes apply, trolls or gankers who only want to participate in this event for the sake of being a general disturbance will be removed right away. All participants are to be respected with the same attitudes you want to be faced and treated with by others.Mainly being an event hosted on the PC Horizons partition of Elite Dangerous, only Playstation has been confirmed to be included in active verified mentorship from our side.
    If you are an Xbox player and have interest in teaching, feel free to! Odyssey and on foot lessons aren't included.

    Planned schedule for ingame practice:
    Players who succeed in the supercruise evasion cannot be ganked as this game is extremely defensive biased in any organic PvP. Anyone who does not want to die to another player, can leave the engagement with the right methods and knowledge. The interdiction and normal space advice covers what to do when a lack of attention has led to an unwanted supercruise interdiction. There is a bit of normal space practice included in that, A) to give you something more to do while drilling the interdictions and, B) to help break up the most complex phase (normal space) so you can drill it a little at a time. Gankers will begin the interdiction practice with no fire or very light fire for targets who want more pressure. The normal space lessons will begin with limited fire from gankers (a target lock breaker PA or other single weapon) while the mechanics are drilled a couple of times, then proceed to live fire drills intended to destroy any targets they can.Players who want more challenge at this point can be pulled by ganker wings and attempt to survive, optionally with little objectives to complete. We call this the -redacted-.

    Keep in mind this schedule isn't exactly binding, as it's down to each and everyone's preference in how they wish to complete the learning process.

    Looking forward to seeing you people over in our server. ;)
    Fly dangerous!

    I'm still working on my tool, the UI to build custom views is almost done, the way queries are built still needs some love (grouping, distinct for a starter)

    Just found a System with 56 Bodies (sorry for the bad quality)

    EDCoPilot - new UI almost completed!

    Posted: 15 Oct 2021 02:54 PM PDT

    EDCoPilot - new UI almost completed!

    Thought i had better get this out there given some people suggesting CoPilot as a name for Iain Collins' app that he posted about today.... (which looks awesome by the way - must give it a go.)

    Here's some info on my own app, called ... EDCoPilot.

    Main bookmarks screen

    I'm just finishing up this new UI. Readers may remember I posted a video showing me using the app in VR a few months back. Since then i have been busy redesigning the UI.

    App is free to use. Discord link at bottom of post to request new users.

    The app is fully navigable via VoiceAttack - excellent for VR users (requires overlay software to display in VR). I can play for hours without having to type anything. App will find stuff and plot course to where you want to go. The last 120 systems you have set course for can also be set course by name (those shaded on the screenshot below.)

    Also works great if you play in flat screen, with or without Voice Attack. 2nd monitor recommended!

    Here are some screen shots from the new version :

    Up top is Bookmarks .... you can sort, filter, pull in other systems based on attributes ... then click to either get a submenu of commands for that system, or click to plot a course. Also you can say "Bookmark 2" for example if you have voice attack and it will initiate course plotting to the corresponding system. No typing!

    This is the sub-commands screen you can pull up for any system (greyed out items arent migrated yet) ...

    subcommands

    This is the Location Search screen. Click to initiate a search ...

    Location Search

    Results come back on a screen like this. Similar commands then apply to set course.

    Search Results

    There are over 30 panels in all, all navigable using Voice or mouse clicks.

    Bookmark Groups (folders to categorise your bookmarks), Places Of Interest, Location Search, Blueprints (drill down to see details and materials have vs needed), Session Progress (stats on your current session including kill counts by ship type, faction, materials gathered), Inventory pages for ships, modules, weapons, suits, materials .... Stations (in a system with their facilities), Bodies (in a system), System History (all times you have visited and what you have done in system), Event History (current session log) .. Guidance Computer (gives directions to a set of surface coordinates) .and lots more.

    It also interfaces with Spansh to set routes for Fleet Carrier (move that fleet carrier using voice commands!), Neutron Highway and Road To Riches .... each route generates bookmarks inside its own Bookmark Group (think folder of bookmarks).

    Still migrating the screens so at moment you get both the old and new UI up. Should be done in a couple weeks on migration.

    Runs on PC for PC based Commanders.

    Hit me up on Discord if you want to give it a try. It's totally free to use.

    Happy flying!
