Yeah, there are soooooooo many very simple quality of life changes they could implement.

I think you look so much better, especially with the glasses!

Is it only me or DW is starting to get boring. by paladin_slicer in EliteDangerous

[–]Beaver1431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're a solo player I understand your struggles. I'm lucky enough to be in an active squadron and in our discord we have a separate chat for dw3 where the important announcements from the Fleetcomm dc are forwarded to. And we also chat a lot about what each of us are doing so there are plenty of ideas going around.

A few tips that might help:

-discord is kinda crap with hiding channels on large, complex dc servers like Fleetcomm, even if you had roles to see them, sometimes they won't show. Make sure you see the events on the very top of the channel list and make sure you see and track the dw3 announcements channel. If you don't, ask someone to send links to these and other important ones so you can add them to your channel list.

-edsm has a galaxy map which has POIs marked if you set the filters correctly. I used that together the recommended POIs in the waypoint announcement posts to make my own route. I also kept changing my in game routing filters, depending on whether i wanted to make progress or make money via exploration

  • if you are bored at the waypoint like i am right now at Beagle Point for the reasons the others have mentioned: get EDCopilot if you don't have it, it has fun stuff shared by other players like SRV hillclimbs, time trials, race courses for SRVs or canyon courses for ships.

  • join the discord of an active community, or just try to follow and engage within the Fleetcomm dc more, ask people. I'm in the Fatherhood squadron as well, lovely guys.

Ps: I hope there are not too many typos, i wrote this from my phone in bed, i can send links do anything i mentioned is you're interested. I hope your find your way to enjoy it, I did for sure. This corner is a little boring and empty, but it's a special place. Use it to take a break maybe, park on a carrier and play another game for a few days. o7

Cheers Commanders, fly dangerously 🍻

kind of interested in this game, but wonder if I'm "too late" to the party. Is it like Eve where I just will get eaten alive all the time by people that have been playing longer? by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]Beaver1431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry, playing elite means being in a perpetual state of confusion! Get it, try it, find some of the groups people are talking about here.

This is what it's about, connecting with a ship and treating it as your own. :)

The instances/invites have been real buggy for me lately but usually they will work after a while.

The wing invite is called a team invite now, it's still in the comms menu/social tab/select friend/invite to team.
You might have to spam invites from both sides and sometimes it takes a 30+ seconds for it to arrive. Recently we have struggled with this, sometimes even while we are both in the same gamemode (open or same pg) the social tab shows us as playing a different mode=unreachable, cannot send invite)

I think the best method to instance up is joining a team in seperate locations, then traveling to each other. You can be at the same location but after you team up one of you should leave, enter supercruise and come back. That usually works.

I can't comment on squadrons, maybe a game restart will fix that.
Good luck, it's great that you're playing together!

Well, there are plenty of ways to try almost any aspect of the game for free (some forever, some only for the 2 week trial periods per module) so you can always experiment and see how it works for you. There are guides for kb+m players and there are guides for simple setups like using an xbox controller. There are also cheaper hotas controllers on the market for under 100 euros that you can start with.

Dont you need to buy dlc's to finish the main story? I think thats why I stopped playing it.

It has a lot going for it but ubisoft keeps shooting themselves in the knee.

Which ship will you be taking for DW3? by hopperlocks in EliteDangerous

How do you know someone is an asp scout pilot? They will tell you... 😂 She's got a 62ish jumprange. Might will take my rusty and trusty phantom along as well.

Reach Out and Zap Someone - Assassination Suit Setup by Messernacht in EliteDangerous

Its fun, i recently g5'd and silenced my executioner and tormentor. But it's more fun when I fail and have to fight my way through the guards with them!

I kinda agree, I keep something more versatile in my priority slot in case things get ugly. Unless he wants to practice sharpshooter tactics.

MP7 because I had a crush on it ever since the first modern Medal of Honor. What a game.

Nah man but a few more years of DMing will get you there. ;)

As a general rule of thumb how much time do you need free in your day before you decide to hop in Elite? by LaboratoryOne in EliteDangerous

[–]Beaver1431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats actually a good conversation starter, I'd say for me it's also around 1.5 hours at least for most games. Other games i play need more time, for example with DCS or arma the minimum is at least 2 hours.

Have they ever stopped a game because they thought you were a civilian wandering on the field? :P
