You know, if they really cared to have filler content before the expansion they'd let players do cash sink community events to establish terraforming stations in systems on the periphery of the bubble. Give out prizes like letting the player with the most contribution rename the planet or let the minor faction of the squadron with the most have a presence there.

I haven't bothered with any lists for exploration and I've done great so far. Just FSS every system I come across and then check the system map for earthlikes, water worlds, ammonia worlds and terraformables and scan any I find before moving on. Made 30 million last night flying out into the black and I'm going again tonight.

Thundarr posted:Granted you can't get them in C2 size, so even with the extra range it would still be questionable at best to use them on a primary mining ship. Also you'd have to spend a month hanging out with Torval. Is it possible to actively sabotage her by trying to spread her influence to worthless border systems that just drain her funds?

I like manually flying into the station for the event but I'll still prefer afk docking when it's an opportunity.

Buying basic medicine and offloading it at the rescue ship also works almost as fast, assuming the price holds as people deliver them. I was buying 30k worth of meds and netting half a million in profit offloading them.

The reason I'm not excited is I don't see how atmospheric worlds will be fundamentally different from the airless moons we already have, especially considering the lackluster previews. At best it'll give us new types of alien sites to explore and hopefully some new alien tech to go along with it, but I mostly just feel like it'll end up being us paying for more empty space.

Ship interiors make more sense from a business perspective. With planet landing they're wasting valuable dev cycles on something no one asked for. If they'd spent time on ship interiors they'd not only make the players happy, they'd also have new opportunities to push ARX by giving the players more than just a dashboard to decorate.

Yeah, money would start being real to me again for a little bit if I actually wanted something with grind level price tag, but I'm just content with flying my aspex around and leaving it as a number that goes up whenever its time to come home and submit my scan data.

Cracker King posted:Dead rear end. I would love if developers join up with their different game genres to fit into one universe. I've wanted this kind of thing before and it would own if done right. The way I'd like it is a series of different games that work as standalone games but when you have multiple they function as content for some big over-game.

Well, it's technically playable for me at low settings but everything looks like garbage and it crashes a lot. Hopefully they'll optimize it down the road but I'm not holding out too much hope for now.

That partial circle surrounding the upper left of the planet. Those vertical lines symbolize a settlement; landable planets without settlements won't have those on theirs.

Things are definitely getting worse than yesterday. Tried to do a combat zone and it was like the game was having a seizure; the framerate was horrible and NPCs were shaking around like they couldn't figure out which direction they were supposed to face.

Josh Christ posted:Got back into elite recently after my girlfriend got me a hotas so playing it isn't a miserable nightmare, and I've been chugging my way through road to riches to make some cash and get my elite Explorer ranking. My next step, after I unlock Jameson, is to get a ship outfitted and engineered for going out into the black exploring. Should I stick with my trusty dback explorer, should I get an asp explorer/anaconda, recommend me a ship I use AspEx, it's a great ship and will get you into the black and back no problem

The problem with Odyssey as a concept (as opposed to the problem of it being a buggy mess) is it just feels like stuff that should've been in Horizons. We already had character models and the ability to explore planet surfaces, being able to move that character around is not much of an upgrade. Then on top of that there's a reward problem. Horizons gave tangible benefits to the main game through the engineering system, allowing players to use the resources they found to make their ships fly farther, hit harder and survive longer. Aside from the minor income and reputation bumps from doing ground missions, Odyssey's rewards just make the player slightly better at Odyssey content, what little there is of it. Also, weren't we promised new planets and not just the same barren rocks but with sky and occasional patches of shrubbery? Gonkish posted:I bought an X52 Pro back in the day, specifically for Elite, and it has been wonderful... aside from the drivers being total dogshit. I can sympathize, picked up an analog mic a few years ago and bought a digital converter that has a chance of not working when I plug it in.

You don't even need an upgraded Artemis because all you do is sample plants. Maybe if there were some dangerous plants I'd understand a use case for improving the Artemis, but as it is, if there are any hostiles in an area you're picking flowers at you'll probably just run them over with the SRV or change to the Dominator inside it.

Oh well, kind of inconvenient for explorers but at least it's still a quick way to get minor factions' passes. Frontier should do a Twitch Prime deal. Give out paint jobs, skins for the old pilot suit and cockpit decorations in order to bait streamers into playing.

I've noticed the biggest barrier to getting ten CZs is how often they break. Had one that ended with one enemy left but the NPC didn't actually exist.
