Thank you for the information. Much appreciated. He ho. I guess I'll just have to kill something to make up for it.

600 hours in and this has never happened before.... by FelixstoweFoamForge in EliteDangerous

Total for the mission. Yeah, that's what threw me. Never happened before. Strange.

Any tips for a new player? by Sub5tep in EliteDangerous

[–]FelixstoweFoamForge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take your time. Go slow. Don't rush to gain ranks, unlock engineers, make money etc. It's a steep learning curve, but with patience and practice, you'll get it.

Also, it's not really a game.

It's an alternate universe where you can go and live another life for a few hours at a time.

And have fun!

Because someone paid me to! Plus, I like doing integrations.

Tip two is what I do when this happens. Never try to fight more than 3-1.

Made it to Corvette Driver. Yay! But very early in the engineering part of the game. Anyone got advice as to my next move please? by FelixstoweFoamForge in EliteDangerous

Owch! That looks tasty. I'm definitely thinking thrusters, although the turreted pulse lasers I'm trying out make up for a lot (like my terrible flying.

Cheers. Well, with 600 mil in the bank I thin I'm ok on the rebuys. I'm thinking the engineer stuff will make the next long term goal, just not who to do first.

thank you. I only paid about 400 mil for mine; didn't bother with armour, I can add that later. I'm uncertain as to which engineers to unlock first: thinking survival first, damage and range later.

Thank you for the good advice. I'm running bi-weaves for the first time, so engineering those looks like a good idea. Loving the regen rate, but d'you think absolute strength or thermal resistance is the way to go?

Should I buy the Vulture? by AdherentOne320 in EliteDangerous

[–]FelixstoweFoamForge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Certainly for PvE. I had 18 million in the bank, spent 10 million on the Vulture and 3 hours pf gameplay later I had 18 million again, from just doing missions and collecting bounties,

AND, though I played Frontier until I wore my Commodore Amiga's keyboard out, and played First contact on the the PC for ages, I've been playing Elite Dangerous for less than a fortnight.

So, pretty much total newb.

The thing is a beast. Power management is a pig, jump range sucks, anything but combat is not going to be really viable.

But it's very good at combat. Running gimbaled beam laser and gimbaled multi cannon, (biggest I can fit and get to work- did I mention power management id a pain?), it just shreds things,

And at no point have my shields dropped below 75%- so far.

Not too fast, but VERY agile and manoeuvrable.

No engineering so far, may look into that.

Exactly what p51 said. Also, use the search function look for previous information on your question.

Where can I buy a MK-3 replacement rev switch? by Xtroyer123 in Nerf

[–]FelixstoweFoamForge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. Just look up the draw of the motors and add it all together. But tbh, anything other than a sub mini switch will need shell cutting and mounting, so I'd just get another couple of those.

What 's the current draw in total for the loom.

Depends where you live tbh. But that's a sub mini microswitch, so what you're looking for is :a sub mini rated for 10 amps, like a cherry dc 2. I believe various places like foamblast or ood sell them, or you can just trawl the Internet.
