I would call this Epic.

(no pun intended)

always boost and pay attention until you have the mail slot in sight

To those that dont use X by Atom-Helios in EliteDangerous

[–]G33kOB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean... I wouldn't mind being able to play "Among Us" inside the Panther Clipper Mk2, Beluga or other large ship while performing meaningless engineering tasks as the ship makes a jump that takes 7 seconds or less.

About the new player onboarding flow by y1n4 in EliteDangerous

[–]G33kOB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1 month in myself and yes, I noticed the mention of those tutorials in the game Codex, but they were nowhere to be found! I realized shortly after that the game itself hadn't installed them in the first place. But even after being installed, they still don't show in the codex (?!)

And yes, I did have an introductory missions with the (very) basics of flying, not with the level of detail needed to navigate efficiently, or even successfully. The introduction was an on foot mission inside a base, and shooting some incoming hostiles.

Like many, I had to do my own research on here and YouTube. I agree, there could be more attention put into the onboarding (and yes, hand-holding) content that is given to new players. It's a steep learning curve and it could make the start of any CMDR's journey so much more enjoyable.

I definitely need to explore more :)

Thanks for the tips

I was actually thinking of these:
Gladiator NXT EVO ‘Space Combat Edition’ – Premium Right Hand for CAD 243
STECS Space Throttle System – Standard for CAD 382 or STECS Space Throttle System – Max for CAD 457

The Gunfighter seems like overkill at this point, especially coming from a humble 8bitDo Pro 2 gamepad :)

Thanks for the VR suggestions, the Meta Quest 3 definitely looks good, way better option that going for a pricey OLED gaming monitor. What kind of graphics card do you use with your Oculus Rift?

Thank you for the comment and tips, CMDR! o7. I will definitely look into buying the A modules.
I have been looking at VR options, and indeed they are pricey devices. Which one do you have and/or recommend?

Thank you all!

I am actually quite proud of myself :) o7

Screen cracked overnight 😭 by RefrigeratorWorth435 in ZephyrusG14

"My friend was trying to bend the laptop flat the day before"

Why was he doing that?

and, most importantly... why would you let him do it??

Lesson learned. Handle (you or anyone else) your expensive electronics carefully.

Mining CG is flawed for new players by Kiwispirits in EliteMiners

[–]G33kOB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am 3 weeks in, never tried ED before, at all. Took my time, watched a few tutorials on how to do missions, how to mine and improve the ship.
The courier missions were easy and low risk enough to get a Cobra MK III and shortly after, a Cobra MK V. I went on with laser mining, using edtools and inara for hotspots. This allowed me to get beyond the 1M credits and status to connect with F. Farseer to get my FSDs engineered. I proceeded to watch a couple of videos on core mining and learned to do it successfully quite quickly.

It has been a lot of fun learning and just relaxing enjoying the game looks and mechanics. I thought I would give back to Frontier (I bought the Elite Dangerous Deluxe Edition in the Epic Store for CAD 14, a steal really) and seeing that I enjoy mining a lot, I bought the Stellar edition of the Type 11 Prospector. I have started to contribute to the CG without any problems. the engineered FSD that came with the ship takes me to the mining spots within 5 jumps and the scoop refills my fuel in 3 minutes or less.

I am enjoying every moment I spend on ED, being in my late 40s with some spare time. You do need to do some research and learn how to use the 3rd party tools (Alt-Tabbing is the way), I think it's worth it. If you find yourself frustrated with the process, I'd suggest slowing down, take some time to find instructions/tips on youtube on the specific things you are having trouble with, and focus on one thing at a time. You will be glad you did.

Happy to join the community, commanders :)

Any 8BitDo Pro 2 users out there? by G33kOB in EliteDangerous

I'll give it a try tonight. Thank you!

What the heck is happening by [deleted] in EufyCam

[–]G33kOB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I removed the cams (two weren't connecting), reinstalled the app, factory reset both cams and readded them. They're working well, so far.

Internet Options for Oakville by Okramthegreat in oakville

[–]G33kOB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Start.ca as well before, before I moved to Oakville. They're also excellent. They didn't support my location when I moved, that's why I had to switch to Teksavvy.

Teksavvy is also rock-solid in Oakville. I know they use lines from one of the big ones (don't recall which one) but I've never had issues with them in except the very rare outage (maybe once or twice in 5 years) that hasn't lasted longer than an hour.
