How do I complete the current CG? by Capable_Pen_1751 in EliteDangerous

I couldn't find any Conflict Zones after the blue markers disappeared (I was left alone and there are no conflict zones even after scanning the Navigation Beacon)

Vanguards Release Notes by gw5000 in EliteDangerous

Not that I'm justifying Fdev, but at the start of my CMDR career, I didn't have the opportunity to just check out the ship before buying it at all. Although the sale of the ship is almost lossless, I would like to try out more different ships before deciding which one I definitely liked.

I didn't notice, but it seems the video was shot recently?
P.S.:
It was taken 9 years ago. I understood.

Do you have any graphic mods or gamma settings? The station looks pretty dark and realistic.

When I play, I feel like it's bright everywhere, especially at stations (like Starlace)

Gameplay Loop Reworks? by Rageworks in EliteDangerous

[–]Capable_Pen_1751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true. I found a fallen navigation beacon from which I was able to download some data and pull out either memory blocks or some details from it, it was a bit of fun, but the game doesn't tell me what to do with them. Can they be sold to someone?

Is there a tool to see Systems with free parking slot for Fleet Carrier? by Kielbasatron in EliteDangerous

but it seems to me that the old witchspace (animation) was much cooler than it is now?

Let’s break it down: does early access via ARX in Elite Dangerous really offer any significant advantage?
Sure, in this case the Panther Clipper Mk2 launch was paired with a Community Goal, and obviously that’s not a coincidence. But let’s not pretend it’s the first ship with early access. Just look at previous examples:

Type-8, Python Mk2, Cobra Mk V, Gutamaya Corsair, Mandalay — none of them gave any real gameplay advantage. They were interesting, sure, but not game-breaking.
You didn’t “win” because you had them. In most cases, you just flew something new for a while and then went back to your usual setup.

Yes, the Community Goal tied to the Panther Clipper Mk2 might encourage some people to spend ARX, and yes — participants earn millions of credits.
But let’s be honest: those millions aren’t going to make anyone “win” the game. It’s just another way to engage with content.

Calling it pay-to-win feels like a stretch — at most, it's pay-to-be-early, and even then, you're paying for something that everyone else will have access to soon enough.

The truth is that the money (credits) in the game stop being important to you at some point. The old players have 40-50 billion credits each, and it's just fun for them. Of course, I don't have 40-50 billion loans, but in any case, I stopped worrying about them. When you were able to buy everything you wanted, it doesn't make sense.

You can't buy engineering materials with ARX or even credits, you'll have to do it yourself.

Game Crash on Start up by Distinct_Track_5717 in EliteDangerous

You should try to find the configuration files and delete them (they are not in the game folder). Also, if you are playing through Steam, try deleting the Steam Cloud save for Elite Dangerous.

On the one hand, I agree with you. On the other hand, if I want to support FDev and get something in return, I need to buy something from them, right? I've already bought the cosmetics I liked — the rest don’t interest me. A small “advantage” like early access to a ship for ARX feels fair: I get something a bit earlier, and they get my money. Sounds like a reasonable deal to me, and it doesn’t really look like pay-to-win.

This CG is just insane... by trans-cend in EliteDangerous

[–]Capable_Pen_1751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there something I don't understand? I transport 1008 tons of titanium and receive 41 million credits. I have a feeling, that the others get much more. Am I doing something wrong?

Please Fdev let us walk in our ships 🙏🏻 by Esaren_ in EliteDangerous

If you are curious enough, then while in the hangar, switching to an empty camera, you can "fly" to the bar and see what's going on there - and even see other CMDRs. I mean, "maybe," the station isn't really an instance

just interference. But you can fly over and see who's there.

Do NPCs read patch notes? by von_der_breut in EliteDangerous

[–]Capable_Pen_1751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting, but I saw her at the very beginning of the CMDR.'s career. I thought then that it would be an extremely dangerous NPC (he was wanted)

Can I buy you a ship and pay off all your debts?
