I like Asp Explorer for truckin, since it has a good amount of cargo space and still fits on med pads so outposts are an option.

I wish they had added the current discovery scanner to the game years ago, it would have made explorin way more fun.

I'm kinda enjoying rambling around in the Krait Phantom, aside from it's garbage turning.

Yeah yeah yeah, as soon as I can be bothered to make the trip over to the other engineer.
Looks like those rascally Thargoids are stepping up the interdictions in the Pliades.

I think the Panther is due to be added eventually, just maybe not till December but more likely not until next year.
I decided to push out of the bubble to Guardian space to try and get some module BPs, luckly for my lazy rear end the Conduit is currently docked in the home station and isnt leaving for the periphery for 5 days or so.

Being able to come screaming in through the slot to dock in an Anaconda and pulling a perfect landing feels pretty good.

If you want a fun explorer challenge, use the T6 for your ramblin. I took mine all over the drat place and had a blast.

Theres also lots of new weird alien space fungus and things to find out in the fringes too.
If that leak is accurate we have something pretty stupid and cool coming next year.

Most of the snake named ships are built by Faulcon DeLacy, its like a theme with them.
Krait Phantom is really good, probably my favorite ship in the game.
Heh... bee ball.

A drone carrier would be pretty fun and game-breaking, and therefore will never appear as a flyable ship. Thargoids only.

I just fitted a Cobra for long range trading and am gonna do the Sothis poop mines.
Any places to get meta alloys that dont involve Tharg ships?

Anaconda is the best large multirole ship just on the basis that you just need credits, no obnoxious rep grind to fly one of those beautiful beasts.

Someone mentioned X4's spacelegs a bit ago, yeah you can totally walk around instations and every ship in the game. Its kind of neat at first, but you realize pretty fast that it's basically a sneaky way to pad out the game a bit. Also you spend like 99% of the time in your ship anyway.

The Protagonist posted:

so did they ever fix multicrew/wings/rovers? they literally have to rebuild the whole game from scratch don't they

Considering Elite was originally never intended to be multiplayer, that would be a "never gonna happen".
Scott Manley showed off someone jumping their fleet carrier, and it's the exact same capital ship jump thing, so now you don't ever need to see it ingame.

Space legs are going to be more useless then they are in EVE. More useless then the spin counter in dock. I really want to love this game. I wish FDev would let me. :(

Good news! They totally have some kind of FPS thing maybe planned for someday!

Tommy the Newt posted:

Yeah, so the FPS 'module' is what we can probably expect, just hope it's more engaging than SRV combat/archaeology.

If its based on the leaks I saw, its a "shoot Thargoids" thing, so maybe they are planning on actually using those ground base things they haven't done anything with?
It would be kinda cool to noodle around the inside of your ship, like they could totally do player housing this way. Give me the ability to decorate the personal cabin of my Anaconda, Fdev.

I always wondered what those weird noises at Farseer is, it reminds me of noises you hear at Thargoid ground bases.

When I had my Exploraconda I just took a SRV bay, there's no point taking fighters for the most part. The rest of my ship was fuel tank and a huge fuel scoop mainly.

If you don't boost full speed out the mailslot in your Anaconda with the collision alarms blaring, what are you even doing?

Oh I tried to get data from a Guardian site one time, but getting bounced around like a kickball in a yard fulla angry children made me give up super fast.

Has FDev said when Odyssey is dropping? I want to walk around on my special legs.

Whats the number one rule of Elite and EVE? Never undock if you can't afford to lose it.
When I was more invested, I always had a modded out exploration Anaconda and a disposable everything else ship I didnt care about losing.
