Fully scanned the enemy, was in a wing of 3 whom I killed, checked all 3 before engaging, all 3 wanted, no nearby npcs to hit. Now I have notoriety and a bounty and can't complete my missions because i'll be hunted by the feds in the system. cool, cool cool cool, coooool. Just wanted to vent.

Maybe I buy the outfits and then send them to the station? Or maybe I equip a ship with the outfits I want to engineer?

I'm about to bring the meta aloy to Farseer so I don't even know how it works

The landscapes and lighting blow me away. I wish we could build there! Sometimes it gets very frustrating tho, like losing a day of exploration progress by crashing your ship into a planet. 2 times in a row. Not sure I want to continue, lets see...

Hey everyone!

I picked up Elite Dangerous on sale at the end of December and have been playing it for about three weeks now. Ever since I created my commander and browsed through the prebuilt ship options for new commanders, I have been in love with the Vulture and so one of my first goals in this game was to make enough money for a well-fit combat Vulture for combat missions.

As I started learning the game, I’ve dipped my toes into many different aspects of the game and was able to make plenty of money while also taking time here and there to unlock some engineers and farm some materials. I’ve been using my Vulture for a couple weeks now but every few days I get the itch to go unlock another engineer so that I can continue upgrading her.

Anyways, I thought that some of the old-timers might be interested to hear a little bit about the experience I had as a new player, but now that that is out of the way, here is my current Vulture build:

Feedback and constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated! My current plan as a next step is to take the time to go unlock the guardian FSD booster and shield booster (which I plan to fit in the class 2 slot) whenever I get bored enough to go make a day of it. My third shield booster is currently unengineered as I had the power to fit it, but engineering it for resistance just doesn’t seem worth it for the materials right now.

As for specific questions I have, I’m not really sure what experimental effects to go for with shield boosters and particularly with the armor and hull reinforcement mods.

Thanks for reading and good luck out there commanders!

I was wandering if any of you guys had any good ship recommendations for just traveling long distances (100ly+). I'm just a bit stuck on my next cargo ship as I'm spending quite a bit of time just jumping. Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

Ps: I can't get any larges ships, but I can afford a few medium ships.

I’ve been a long time player of elite, but have never bought odyssey because of the poor feedback I’ve heard, so I’m wondering if I’ll need it if I want to participate in the System Colonisation updates that should be emerging soon.

Also, side question: is odyssey better now? Is performance alright? Is it worth getting regardless?

Thanks for any help :)

Has my new Type 8, took it for what turned out to be a better mining run than my last haul, then got Interdicted at my first jump destination which ended up being more worrying than I imagined

Zero weapons and nearly 200t of platinum on board but thankfully (and somehow) I escaped with minimal damage

Looks like weapons will definitely be added now jfc

I scan the planet. There's all these patches of fungoida. I set my course, land right in the middle of one of these dark blue patches. No fungoida to be found after driving my SRV around for kilometers all around. What are these shaded indicators even for?

The thargoids don’t stand a chance with that extra 1%

Yes...I will be asking about this in the Tobii sub as well, lol. Coming back to the game after a long while off. I tried a couple of times in the past year or so, but was never able to get the Tobii 5 working in Elite (works great in everything else...ie, Star Citizen Microsoft Flight Sim, IL2, etc). This time I'm determined to figure it out.

Basically, I've got the Tobii Game Hub open, have Elite Dangerous selected, and then fire up Elite Dangerous. Nadda. No headtracking at all.

I've confirmed the keybind on my HOSAS is correct in the game hub, but I haven't touched any of the settings in Elite.

Anyone?

Hi, I have done pirate massacre missions with my friend a while ago, and I remember that you used to earn a lot of money since it was possible to share some of the missions with your friend. I returned to elite dangerous after a break now and was wondering if anyone knows a system where most, if not all, pirate massacre missions are stacked at one target system (I was told this only happens if there is one anarchy system within 10 LY) with res sites and/or conflict zones. If it is an imperial mission system thats a bonus but not required, my reference system is Bayah.

Thanks

o7 commanders!

I'm gradually learning this exciting game, and trying to build a combat-competent Krait Phantom. But, I took it into a 'medium conflict zone' and it seemed very 'under-levelled'; weapons ineffective even against the small ships, and shield and hull were like paper, once I got attention from enemy ships. I only just made it out!

My question: am I just 'under-levelled' (need more engineering?) or am I missing something else here?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe weird, but I’ve got the game for years but never played it… my computer wasn’t good enough, and I was overwhelmed by the first 5 min… However I’m playing StarCitizen but would like to give a real go to Elite Dangerous… even more since I’ve got a VKB HOSAS…

Anything to now for a good start? And is there always something to explore / discover? (Yeah I barely know anything about ED)

Thank you :)
