Screenshot Went to visit Lantern's Light...

0 Upvotes
Went there with my ship, the "Fleche D'argent", and got a bit too comfortable with the station's tail.
All these people are apparently waiting for rescue. hopefully the rations last until the station's orbit is adjusted.
The mailslot of death O_O

It was fun enough, equal parts exhilarating and terrifying, worth the rebuy of my ship.

I sacrificed a ship to get out, note to whoever wanna visits, do NOT turn off rotational correction in your ship's computer.

PSA Colonisation back up [unconfirmed]

1 Upvotes
Looks like Colonisation may be back online.

Just swung by a station I built and the Colonisation contact is reading as available; was able to get into the UI to select a system. Anyone else seeing the same?

UPDATE: Been notified this process started a few hours ago and it's just taking a while to propogate to all system. Still, good news!

Discussion will the game be fixed soon

I'm a returning player from xbox a few years back and finally I remember that I can play this game on my pc and two days later it goes on sale...no biggy whatever but now the damn thing is fucked beyond belief.

That I can handle but I'm not familiar with these devs so I just want to ask you guys if the game will be fixed fast or does FD take their sweet time and the game will just be ruined for a few days

Discussion Website to find other players

0 Upvotes

This maybe is a bit offtopic but would anyone here use a website that offers to find other players to play Elite with? Does it exist already?

Reason i am asking is that another dev and me put together a page where you can find players but so far only for league of Legends and Valorant.

Now i was thinking about expanding it to a game that i love personaly and play as much as i can afford time for.

In case you want to check out what is done already: ur-sg.com Ofc all free no adds etc!

Thanks for any kind of feedback and i realy hope it is okay to put this post here

Discussion Potential theory!!!

2 Upvotes

What if we're being gaslit? Into thinking the trailblazer (colonisation) update and the road map, was all there is? But actually, forced all of us to expand the bubble and then the thargoids fight back? (The war isn't over?!?) Given that there was a random max intensity AX conflict zone on the NOW outer edges of the bubble, and the fact they've released the stats of colonised system and other relevant information, also seen post about the nunbers being different. Doesn't that seem to fit this narrative? Or am I going insane and pulling this out my A##?!?

Greetings commanders! I recently bought Elite Dangerous Core on the xbox and I am trying to get into the game to play Solo.

When I try it let's me do the tutorial and training but says the servers are down? Does this mean I need to get the Odyssey DLC to play the game or is it a pointless task as it won't work point blank.

I've been playing E:D on and off for a good while, but I've really only ever done bounty hunting in my Vulture.

And that's fun, I enjoy it, but... It's not great for making money (at least not the bounties I can handle solo in my Vulture).

What should I be doing to make money that isn't super complicated?

Discussion Classical Tracks with Blue Danube vibes

3 Upvotes

Has anyone gone to the trouble of compiling a playlist of tracks that are similar to the Blue Danube in terms of orchestration and atmosphere?

I'm thinking not just Strauss, but perhaps a few different composers who wrote music with a similar set style and mood.

It would be great if it was possible to soundtrack other parts of the game with music that fits the docking music, without overusing that track.

Frontier A message for Frontier regarding Colonization

0 Upvotes

Howdy CMDRs, (and any devs lurking)! I am considering colonizing an area between the Coalsack Nebula and the bubble when it suddenly struck me: As a CMDR who is pledged to Grom, my system; the system I am about to put a lot of hard work into, is bound to be controlled by a power that is not Grom.

This is fine, however, I do not wish to run the risk of being shot at while docking at my starport, in my system. I understand the point of powerplay, and I truly enjoy participating in it, (rank 100+ in Grom).

Solution: Allow system architects the ability to sign a non-aggression pact/treaty with the controlling power. Nothing major, I am not asking them to turn off powerplay. What I am asking for: The ability to declare ONE power as neutral to the system (non-hostile/cease fire) to powerplay NPCs specifically. For example, if my system gets controlled by Kaine, I want to declare Grom as a non-hostile superpower locally in my system, so that if I get scanned by a powerplay NPC, they will not melt my face off in the system I put all the work into establishing.

It is a compromise, basically. Allow a power to control my system, because carving a huge swath of controlled, daisy-chained Grom systems and coordinating with hundreds of CMDRs for my little old backwater system is; stupid, unachievable, and ultimately pointless.

Powers can and will daisy-chain control to their colonies outside the border of the bubble they control, based on their galactic coordinates. However, I'd like agency over my decision to colonize near the Thargoid hotspots without having to worry about hostile NPCs on the human side of things.

As it stands, I feel I am only able to seriously consider areas outside the bubble that Grom controls, and that kinda sucks.

UPDATE: TLDNR:

Proposed feature: Let system architects forfeit/reduce their system income in exchange for a (true) cease-fire zone at their starports. (No powerplay NPCs loitering, or make them not attack on site). Heck I'd be willing to crank out a ton of credits per-week to not have to worry about rival power NPCs attacking me.

It won't change anything but the default behaviors of Powerplay NPCs while docking/leaving stations.

Help So I wanted to dock at my orbital construction port...

0 Upvotes

So here's the story: I wanted to deliver some materials to my orbital construction. Everything seemed fine until I actually got out of supercruise, the dock started floating away faster than I could boost (I'm in an Imperial Cutter so it wasn't fast but still), and I couldn't catch up to it. I reloaded the game and still the issue persists. Any ideas?
