    Stuck on a Carrier...

    Posted: 25 Nov 2021 11:15 AM PST

    So I logged on for the first time in like a month and I guess I forgot that I docked on a carrier before I jumped off last time. Turns out that this carrier jumps from different systems to systems while providing a place for people to fuel up and do repairs. I get back on today and I'm in a whole new different system on a different part of the galaxy from where I was before when I last logged off. I soon realized that, because the carrier jumped so far away from anything, I can only access like four different star systems. I can't jump anywhere else with my Cobra because everything is too spread out. Anybody got advice or can help me hitch a ride out from where I'm at?

    My girlfriend is interested in ED and it's free on game pass, there's alot to this game so what all should I make sure to go over with her to start up?

    Posted: 25 Nov 2021 07:39 AM PST

    She's pretty good at video games and I've got a feeling she will catch on, but she's never played any flight games before. I've got close to 1500 hours in, so I know most ins and outs of the game. Should I have her sit in my passenger seat in the Cobra to start out with, and go over all the basic functions? Or escort her little sidewinder around and let her be hands on from the get go. Any tips or information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance CMDRs o7

    Edit: I've received so many helpful tips, thank you so much to the CMDRs who took their time to express to me what they genuinely think will help. Y'all are legends, and ever helpful when people have questions. Thanks again!

    Just a fresh reminder to everyone that the engineered enzyme missiles are a joke

    Posted: 25 Nov 2021 12:34 PM PST

    Cons 1. Doesn't apply the damage/DOT through shields like the Thargoids caustic missiles 2. Has pitiful impact damage when it contacts the ship 3. The damage over time is negligible and doesn't stack with itself, so to get any benefit you have to wait several seconds between reapplying the debuff. 4. Can barely damage on foot troops, and doesn't apply caustic to them

    Pros 1. They're kinda pretty to shoot, but the regular tech broker versions are just as fine

    Such an embarrassing moment... haven't played in 3 years, get a pc, download the game, have to start from scratch to see if the devs can switch anything over from my old ps4, and after an hour I'm floating in nowhere, outta gas. I don't want help, just saying miss my old phantom.

    Giving back, receiving thanks.

    Hi everyone. In my own head cannon, my CMDR celebrates old earth traditions (despite not being born there and only hearing about them in the history books). Today, I'm thankful for my Asp Scout, "Fly Fast, Get Gas", and I am finding as many distress signals as I can to offer repairs and refueling (as well as scaring off pirates when applicable) in my home system. I never could find much use for my Scout aside from as a fuel-rat esque build, so I'm saving as many virtual lives as i can and wishing them a happy turkey day. I feel like it would be neat to start little in-game traditions like this, and wanted to share in the hopes that some others (if they're playing today) might follow suit.

    Elite Dangerous Icon Font

    Posted: 25 Nov 2021 05:56 AM PST

    Elite Dangerous Icon Font

    While working on a release version of ICARUS Terminal (thanks again to SpaceNinjaBear and others for the name) I've been creating an icon font of Elite Dangerous icons using the great collection of assets from edassets.org along with some original icons, and thought I would share it with folks in case they are useful.

    You can download the font here.

    This is a work in progress. I'm adding assets at various qualities as I need them and to meet specific requirements. In fact the whole reason I'm using icons at all over just using SVG images is use case specific; I want to be able to apply certain visual effects that can't be applied to SVG images in quite the same way as with fonts.

    Obviously Frontier hold the copyright for designs and contributors to their own original works. I'm still trying to ascertain the official policy for licensing from FDev.; taking a lead from EDAssets, as a similarly non-profit, open source project with a permissive license, I am optimistic that respectful use with any appropriate disclaimers/boilerplate will be looked on favourably, but if anyone has any experience of who best to reach out to (or if anyone at FDev wants to reach out) that would be great.

    Coming from Xbox I'm finding it hard to get enthusiastic about playing.

    Posted: 25 Nov 2021 06:00 PM PST

    I've been a fan of Elite Dangerous for a long time, I even backed the Kickstarter. I backed knowing I didn't have a PC to play on because I really wanted to see the game get made.

    When it came out for Xbox I became a suporter again with the Xbox Game Preview Program. I've played the game on and off since it's been on console. I'm not super far or rich but I have a LOT of fun playing and being the space man I always wanted to be.

    Now I actually have a PC that's capable of playing the game at a decent quality. However, I'm not able to bring up the enthusiasm to play and the reason why is a bit silly.

    See, over the years I've acquired a good deal of cosmetics for the game. Some through promotions or in game events and some bought with money. I've easily spent a few hundred pounds on the game for cosmetics and I'm OK with that. I enjoy everything I've bought. The issue is that everything I've acquired is for the Xbox version of the game and Frontier Developments have decided not to make these things usable on any other systems.

    I find it disheartening and just can't bring myself to play knowing I can't use any of the cosmetics that I've earned or purchased. Everything is tied to my Frontier account so why can't it be used when I sign into that same account on a different system? I'm not asking for cross play or even cross save, though both should be available as well. I just want the cosmetics. I can earn credits and ships again.

    I'd be all for buying more cosmetics in the future too, but I just can't bring myself to play. This issue just really bothers me and feels so icky that I lose interest almost immediately.

    Am I alone here? Are these super selfish thoughts I'm having?

    Edit just to say, I've asked Frontier about this. They told me they won't do it. The can delete my Xbox pilot and transfer all the assets in the form of credits to my PC profile but we all know that credits are easy enough to come by.

    The Scriveners are saved

    Dredger Update initiative successful

    We did it! I can't tell you how proud I am of the community.

    We all did our best, fought for days and nights, many of us invested their private funds to make this victory for the Scriveners possible, and we indeed succeeded in granting them their freedom!

    While I would very much like to single out Commanders who I believe were crucial for the success of this operation, I believe that any attempt to do so would only alienate us from each other and miss the point of our selfless cooperation. The fact that we did not do this for ourselves, but for the Scriveners, is the main point and should be written in stone as a reminder that anything is possible as long as we work together. No matter where you come from and whether it's Cannon, another squadron, or you're just an independent pilot who chose to help a people in need, your contribution was relevant!

    We did the right thing and we all can be proud of it. Many of your names will reverberate through the bubble for long long time, and some of them will have reached the inhabitants of the Dredger by now.

    o7 Commanders. Don't you ever forget what we accomplished in this week.

    May the Voidseeker guide your vessels.

    How to Go to a Visible Star Cluster

    Posted: 25 Nov 2021 09:39 AM PST

    How to Go to a Visible Star Cluster

    I am out free roaming and exploring in the black. For the last 30-40 jumps, I have been seeing the star cluster (w/nebula) showing up pretty regularly, and it seems to be getting larger. I have developed a hankering to go there.

    I am sure someone on this reddit will know what this is. But that's not my question. My question is: how can a plot a route in the galaxy map to get to something I see in distant space? I cannot target it while I am in a distant system. And I can't seem to figure out it's "heading" from my current location, to use to search for it when I'm in the galaxy map.

    So how can I get from here to there, using the galaxy map? Any help will be much appreciated.

    I used an AI Image application that collects images based on search words or phrases. “Elite Dangerous Hydra Thargoid in battle” was the phrase I used and the AI searched images related to it and put it through 400 iterations. This is the result:

    WE did it! The Scriveners are free!!!!

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 10:21 PM PST

    It took a week of hard trucking and dedication but we did it! The Space Trucking Community came together and in what was an epic moment of community bonding we arose to the occasion and SET THE SCRIVENERS FREE!!!!!!

    Thank you to all the hard working CMDRS that took the time to support the effort! It was appreciated to the ends of the galaxy!!!

    Thank you all!!!!

    Sorry for the low quality text, but how exactly does this Work?

    Posted: 25 Nov 2021 09:31 AM PST

    If I'd live in 3307 in the Elite Universe, I'd be probably the richest person in the Galaxy, cause I'd build rifles that are both thermal and kinetic with a switch or a trigger for each.
