It's good stuff and with the longer time to kill with the penetration and powerplant changes it certainly worth while winging up for it. I could gently caress in Hazardous RESs, gimme 300k-600k cr anacondas erryday.

It's really sad because Saitek's stuff was really high-quality until Madcatz bought them in 2007. Madcatz fucks up everything they touch  I've got a non-Pro x52 from 2004 and it still works like a loving champ, I've abused the poo poo out of that stick and it's still perfectly aligned and all my buttons, scrollwheels, and hats work flawlessly. orange juche fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Sep 28, 2015 |

Reason posted:Has anyone managed to get the pinky trigger on an x52 to work when setting up keybinds in Elite? It doesn't seem to register when I try to bind pinky + other key. You have to go into your Saitek Profiler software and delete all of the extra modes beyond Mode 1, 2, and 3. Then you unbind the pinky switch in that software by right-clicking it and selecting "unassigned", and save the modified profile as something recognizable (e.g. Elite.pr0). Once that's done, load that profile when you plug your stick in and it should allow you to bind the pinky switch properly. The profiler uses the pinky switch as a modifier for Mode switching so Elite won't see it properly unless you do that. E: It sounds complex as gently caress but in practice it takes 5 seconds. orange juche fucked around with this message at 06:18 on Oct 15, 2015 |

Libluini next time you come home from the black, here's a neat game to try with random exploration if you ever get bored of just jumping system to system. E: I'm probably gonna try this when I reach the core, and do that for about a week or 2 before heading back home to sell data. I'll obviously forego the lives portion because I'll be ~26000 LY from home, but it should generate a decent amount of "First Discovered" systems for me. orange juche fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Oct 20, 2015 |

Because frontier just grabbed all the levers and yanked them backwards. What's lovely is the people on the forums crowing about how happy that they are that the missions got nerfed because how dare you expect to make credits in a somewhat reasonable amount of time because the old elite games you had to work so much harder for everything.

chaosapiant posted:I'm making this trip now. How long did it take? Every time I feel I've travelled some distance, I zoom out and it looks like I haven't moved. It takes ~12-18 hours of flight time at a steady pace, 9 hours if you're moving at a breakneck speed. Of course that's only counting time you're not faffing about doing other poo poo, it took me 5 days 3 hours 44 mins 40 seconds to complete the trip, due to work and other poo poo.

I still stopped and honked at lots of poo poo, and scanned more terraformables than i could count and a handful of earthlikes too. My return trip is going to be considerably slower, probably taking the better part of a month, i'll probably get back around the same time Horizons drops. E: Im gonna include some pics I took on the trip.  A binary pair that was <1 ls apart, the lithium dwarf was almost entirely inside the crash line of the larger star, it's impossible to fly between the two.  Some rock ring I dropped into on the way to the core, no idea where, but pretty nonetheless.  Yay more binaries, and you can actually fly between these two.  A small, crispy, ringed planet that is orbiting very close to its B-class star.  Love can bloom even when two ships are caught on the edge of the largest gravitational singularity in the galaxy. orange juche fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Oct 24, 2015 |

Libluini posted:This reminds me, I had some big fight long ago on the official forums because I was of the opinion A-scoops are a waste of money if your B-scoop is already large enough. I don't want another fight so I won't recount all my arguments here, but I personally disagree. Sometimes B is enough. Oh no, I definitely felt the siren song of burnout calling, and it took all my energy to reach Sag A*, as it was I loitered there for about 14 hours just sitting, and then jumped about 200 ly up above Sag A* and logged out, due to not really wanting to continue going anywhere right now.

slidebite posted:I have yet to come across a single black hole. Anywhere. And I've had it since beta. Maia B is the closest one. Black holes are extremely rare, and they're worth the trip to go see. Maia is about 450 LY from Goat Space, so you can go there and be back in about 30 minutes, and if you check around and scan all the things that short little jaunt is worth about a million credits with an Advanced Discovery Scanner and a Detailed Surface Scanner.

Adult Sword Owner posted:* Says SR should break scan locks (I don't think it does?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPYH8gB2uTc Here's concrete info on how SR works, with testing. Small ships: Target lock not affected at <250m Target lock lost after 7s if >250m Large ships: Target lock not affected <550m Target lock lost after 7s if >550m Simple as that, internal heat doesn't matter, what modules you're running doesn't matter, it's either it works or doesn't. I would guess you would not be able to lock a target outside those ranges if it already had Silent Running going too. So if a Stealth DBS is outside 250m and has silent running on, it is unlockable unless you had locked it prior to it triggering silent running, and even then you lose lock if you don't close within 250m in those 7s. orange juche fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Oct 30, 2015 |

Now that I've hit the neutron star belt above the galactic plane, I've really slowed down. I think I've moved about 500 ly back towards home, and I've basically scanned everything I jump to, I'm moving home at <1ly per jump atm. Ill probably speed up when horizons drops, but until then there's no reason to rush back.

Dongattack posted:How do you find minerals and whatever that the SRV can interact with on planets? Just drive around aimlessly or is there more to it? Use the Wave Scanner, as the scanner travels left to right across the HUD you will hear a noise and see a bright line in the general direction of where the thing is. As you get closer the tone will change and the line will get shorter and more defined as to where the thing is. It doesn't define distance so you still need to use the Mark I Eyeball and your regular scanner to help pinpoint the thing you are looking for, but it will get you close enough that those things will work.

I'd rather not pay a significant chunk of cash to get my ship moved to me to be honest.

There's a magic number calculator you can use.

I updated this game and went to check out one of the generation ships because why not, Generation Ship Thetis is appropriately creepy as gently caress. Go there and listen to the logs in a dark room with headphones for maximum effect. It's orbiting Nefertem 6A if youve not been there yet. Now I need to go and visit more and check random systems for listening posts. E: someone needs to do that spectrum analysis poo poo on the last log entry, it's just a broadcast of the signal the generation ship picked up, I kinda want to find the originating planet of the malicious signal. E2: tried to run it through a spectrum analyzer on my phone but it wont let me zoom in on the waveform  not gonna pay 5 bucks for the ability to do it either.

AzureSkys posted:I started to head there and at the beginning of my 12 jump trip I encountered a dwarf star. I thought I'd see if I could try the FSD boost thing for the 1st time in my Asp X only to not have the yellow border not show up as I approached it. So just as I hit the jet I was forced out of supercruise. It took a fair while of bouncing around as all my modules failed until I finally blew up. You need to remember to untarget your destination system. You will not be able to high-wake out of the star's jet. Do a supercruise jump and just fight to keep your ship aligned in the general direction of the supercruise escape vector. Source: I did this last night because I was in too much of a hurry to properly line up a pass, escaped with a canopy at 20% all other modules at ~50% and my hull at 60%. Also thirding the flying through the very end of the star's cone. Do not attempt to fly through anything but the very tail end of the star's cone, just line up with it with the star behind you and fly outward away from the star through the cone, so that unless you get flipped 180, you won't crash into the exclusion zone. I've flown through several dwarves now succcessfully, haven't tried neutrons but I assume they will be much easier. orange juche fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Dec 15, 2017 |
