Is it time to come back to Elite Dangerous?!
Got my first Hydra! 60 mils for kill, and dont forget: "kill interceptor a day-keep the thargo away!"
Just discovered I was the first commander to enter this system. Now I’m annoyed about the orbit lines!
T-10, back in black
When did we get Subterranean bases?
Was flying back from a mission on surface and found a ship landed on the surface... very interesting
Went to Summerland before starting the road to sagittarius a*
In the middle of the kind of waking sleep that one enters during a 12K LY trip, this thing gave me a bit of a jumpscare.

New CG Jumpaconda: 91.3 LY

Posted: 04 Nov 2021 08:38 AM PDT

Here it is, a max-jump jumpaconda with the pending double-engineered 6A FSD. 91.3 LY jump with a dry reserve tank.

Yes, this build is legal (you build it with Drive Distro thrusters, then change them to Stripped Down as the very last step). Yes, this build is stupid. But in about a week, this will be the as-currently-buildable ship-jump king (certain legacy builds will be able to slightly outpace it).

editing to add the max-jump builds for the other FSDs:

73.24 LY Dolphin

65.70 LY Courier

QoL suggestion: saved ship loadouts

Posted: 04 Nov 2021 08:17 AM PDT

Changing every individual internal or waiting for animations to finish can be a painful process. I'd love it if I could just save and load ship loadouts. If a module or two isn't at that location, give the option to transfer all outstanding modules given the cmdr has the fee. Or give the option to add whatever modules are at that location, whilst showing which one's aren't available so will not be installed (I keep all modules in one place where possible, I'm sure many cmdrs try to keep them at a home station or FC)

It'd be lovely to be able to switch between a anti xeno loadout for scouts, anti xeno loadout for interceptors, anti human loadout for humans etc, in an instant.

Watching anime on the side of passively laser mining so the volume was way down. I only realised when i noticed all the blip blops on the shield scanner and checking the chat box this npc had been attacking me for almost 10 minutes. Lol

Elite Dangerous Ship Jump Range Comparison With Respect to The New CG's FSDs

Posted: 04 Nov 2021 01:58 PM PDT

o7 Commanders!

I've taken the time to build on CMDR Boombi's work by inter comparing EVERY ships jump range with respect to the new FSDs released by the current CG.

The link to my sheet can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17ZmiRz0NjIWEbfbg9PduhzgEnYqjH_ekyKgyvC439oQ/edit?usp=sharing

I first used Coriolis to find a maximized jump range for each of the ships using only modules. I then augmented these values with engineering and then an FSD booster. Appropriate min maxing was preformed to ensure the ships could run. Finally, I gave the applicable ships a flat 9% increase to their jump ranges towards the final result.

What I find remarkable about this information is how the metta is changed with these new FSDs.

Please reply to this post with discussions, comments, and concerns.

See you in the Black commanders!
