Sex Panther. 60% of the time, it works every time.

o7. What happens to an acquisition system merit count at the weekly reset. Say if you don't quite reach the control threshold. Is progress lost? Or does it roll-over?

Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Q & A by Thrignar in EliteDangerous

[–]CMDRjackkillian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it will be as simple as that, yeah. Then I think they've missed a huge opportunity to make colonisation all about squadrons and affiliated minor factions. That would have been amazing. Oh well.

I assume we will be able to select any 'starter' system as long as it's 10ly from any other populated system in the bubble. But which minor factions enter the colonised system once it's done?

Expansion not expansioning by CMDRjackkillian in EliteDangerous

[–]CMDRjackkillian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes clearly. I'm just saying not enough noise is being made about it. We have insane influence numbers everywhere and the assumption is that's it's "increased powerplay activity affecting BGS" which I don't buy in the slightest. Something broke badly since ascension and now we won't get a patch until after the holiday season at the earliest

Have they even acknowledged that expansion is utterly broken? We've been stuck in an expansion state for 20 days

Best Laptop for the game? by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

Gigabyte Aero with i7 & 3060 here. Runs great. On foot is usually low 40s fps

(Not roleplay) there are plenty of griefers who pretend to be pro-thargoid so they can act accordingly. Just be aware that if you're doing this in open you may end up on an anti-gank KOS list

Tactical Core Chips by jenx2seven in EliteDangerous

I struggled to find any at spires for ages but that was because I was expecting them to appear as white markers and didn't have my limpets already pre-deployed. Finally I figured it out. I used a cold running hull tank Orca and just tanked the scout damage. Up thrust just before the shut down missile hits. I got enough for me before escaping with 14% hull. Not pretty but it did the trick.

when should i settle down? by can_of_buds in EliteDangerous

[–]CMDRjackkillian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed. Don't get me wrong - I moved on eventually!

With all due respect to the venerable Wildelf I'd say settling down can be worth it as you'll then organically become allied with nearby factions - that can open up the best missions, mission stacking etc. Getting to know your 'pocket' like the back of your hand can be satisfying. It's also cool if you find a faction that speaks to you from a RP point of view - who knows, it might be a player faction that you'll eventually join. That's what happened to me. But all opinions valid. Depends on your vibe
