The capital system of the Alliance now hosts Lakon’s administrative hub and offers a 5% discount on its ships. If you thought the holy trinity Alliance/Lakon/Loyal CMDR couldn't get any more based, you were terribly wrong. Get your Lakon ships there if you are a scrub without a Shinrarta Dezhra permit (meaning, having an Elite rank).https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/article/lakon-spaceways-hq-moves-alioth-systemAlso something with Federation is happening but who cares.No AXCZs yet.

It is possible to dodge all Fleet Carrier shots by positioning yourself low enough near the landing pads. Eagle is not even the smallest ship yet it is capable of doing so perfectly.Futhermore, remote flak shots will be shot down by the FC's defenses as well, without aggroing you either.

This game will never be as good as Star Citizen. What are core features in Star Citizen are afterthoughts in this sad copy. Stop. Buy yourself a Freelancer (ship you can walk inside) and Q-travel in style.

I love this game but they really need to do something to break the meta. The endless engineering bullshit grind.The FDL meta. I hate the FDL. It's not even a good ship.
>>240681The way to fix Engineers is to have the players unlock the mods only once. And then be able to buy them from the remote workshop for a REASONABLE/TOKEN sum of credits. Like 100k for a G5 FSD, and 500k for G5 weapons.Exactly like tech broker's work.Just remove the constant soul-drenching grind, nothing keeps me from playing this game like having to spend 7 hours gathering mats every time i think up a new build for a ship.
>>240700Rather than having to fly my slow ass cruisers to the engineer for the experimental effect, maybe a time gate. I send it to them and they send it back.
>>240700Considering Robigo runs though, that's pretty cheap.
>>240681It's a good ship and the sexiest in the game. Meta thing are meta for a reason.
>>240725so idk if you've ever actually used the FDL before, but the cockpit is off-center. so maybe next time test out the ship before you start spreading lies.
>>240754I know, it annoys me too. It's a right hand drive ship in space, fucking britbongs.That doesn't mean FDL isn't one of the best combat ships you can possibly get. Because it is. They had to nerf bat it a few times and it's still one of the best.
>>240604Why? An AX build is not FSD science, the basic concept applies to every ship.Gauss cannons (remember heat sinks), remote release flak, engineer for absolute hull and shield points over resistances. Done.
wew lad...
>>239497>>239755>>239876
Dumb AX questions. If you use advanced missile racks, do you want oversized or penetrators experimental?If you use mines (which will do no damage against an interceptor) against an interceptor, will you get anything out of ion disruptor experimental?For Advanced MCs, do any of the experimentals work on interceptors, like corrosive or incendiary?
>>241270Goids are immune to experimental effects.
>>241297...Oversized or autoloaders it is then. Cheers.
>>241270>AX weapons1. Gauss cannons for everything2. Advanced missiles + shards with premium ammo for instakilling cyclopes.Everything else is b.s. with bad armor pen and/or clumsy to use.
>>241303I know, this is bs for my alt. One of my goals is for my first Interceptor kill to be with a Multicannon Viper 3. I wont get better unless i challenge myself.
So I’ve engineered my courier to race but where do I find people to race with?

Is there anything to this game besides grinding for more ships and parts. Is there something to actually do with these ships

>>241555based trips, i like how there's at least two people constantly refreshing this thread
>>241556There is so much potential, actual wars where npcs actually attack other space stations, actual invasions from aliens.
>>241554You can steal lavian brandy from a space bar and gain a yuge bounty from the ensuing space police shootout. Is there any gameplay reason to do it? Absolutely not.

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-odyssey-q-a-weapons.566058/Q: Will anti-vehicle weapons be available?All weapons can be used against ships, however some are far more effective, such as explosive weapons like rocket launchers and grenades.Q: Will players be equipped with a weapon immediately upon launch?Just as you will always have a Sidewinder available as a ship, all players will have a side arm to help them in combatQ: Will there be melee weapons?Players will be able to attack with melee when close but there are no specific melee weapons.Q: What kinds of explosives are there?Only grenades and rocket launcher are planned for launchQ: Will the aiming reticule always remain on-screen?The reticule is used to interact with objects as well as for combat, so will always be on-screen. Firing from the hip will still use the same reticule for general direction, but will be less accurate.Q. Which weapons allow you to look down the sights?All weapons will have this function, however different scopes are available for each through Engineering.Q. Could players throw grenades at ships an expect to deal significant damage if it's unshielded?Yes and we look forward to watching it happen!Q. What types of weapons will there be?There's a wide variety of weapons from pistols, rifles and SMGs, to shotguns and rocket launchers. More details will be revealed on these later.Q: Will players be able to upgrade their weapons with attachments?You can choose from several attachments for your weapons. However, a modified weapon cannot be reverted, so think carefully. You can own multiple copies of a weapon for different situations, but can only carry a limited number of them at a time, depending on your suit type.Q: Can you drop ammo/grenades for your friends?Yes - other players can pick up and use your dropped items.Boy I sure hope I can grenade that 850 m/s viper peppering me with lightweight mines/rockets constantly o7o7o7

>>245558well it is a grenade anon.I wish they'd add a long range fighter. Also why doesn't this game have a /vg/, is it dying?
>>245558>If a handheld weapon can do noticeable damage to a ship's hull, why do ships have to carry weapons the size of a dump truck?They've written themselves into a corner with this.Caveat: Anti-ship weapons will be turrets that you can hop into.
>>245558why does a space sim have space legs, if I wanted to play dedstiny 2, I'd play dedstiny 1
>>245929It doesn't have space legs ya dingus

>>246157i highly doubt it'll be that insane, outside of something like a rocket launcher maybe doing like 5% hull damageit'll probably be the equivalent of a multi-cannon or something

are the other elite games actually any good

is there any sign of Odyssey actually happening yet?
>>247158Late spring, anon.And astronomical spring ends in late June.
What's the point of the entire Marlinist story arc? It seems like they are setting up for a massive patch/reveal or changes to powerplay/background sim. But Odyssey is coming like in 3 months at least? What's the point of this?All this just as an escuse to run cg's with huge payouts?
Bros...ED is filtering me after two weeks. I thought bounty hunting is fun but it is not. Feels like I playing MMO with kill 60 mobs quests. Unlocking Engineers is even worse. What's the fuck wrong with this kusoge? Meanwhile I'm still playing X3 Litcube's Universe mod where I do nothing but fly in giant fleet of capital ships. In ED despite all fancy flying mechanic I want to kill myself after undock
>>247628ok
>>247632You fags playing this game for five years. I need to know your secrets. I want to learn how to enjoy it.
>>247633You never enjoy it, you get hooked on a dream of a great space-sim, the beginning is intoxicating, there is so much to do and learn. But as you go on, the more you realize that intoxicating feeling is just you getting drip-fed your distilled grind-induced suffering. On which you have become dependent on to function.The only way to enjoy anything ever again after playing Elite, is wiping your save, uninstalling, and losing the passwords to both steam and mail account associated with that mail.>t.picrel
>>247704and come right back into it again a year later because your friends found out about it and are playing it now so you show them around
>>247628Devs play their game on a dev account for testing purposes and never ever as a normal player would and here we are
>>247633The secret is having friends, virgin.
>>247704Got nobody to wing up with presently, so I don't play it lol.
>>247704I'm 2k hours in and just joined a squadron and learning to do pvp and bgs with them.My life is an empty joke so this fills the void.
>>247981o7
>>247633I have two accounts. One is my main, which i use for collecting exploration data and hunting down mysteries. The second is for pvp, and i only fly in open. I only fly small and small medium ships, no FDLs or Pythons or anything bigger.
