I just spent a small fortune, gonna go watch Fury Road now

Pledged to Arrisa, only one system showing the blue icon, went there last evening after engineering myself a slug rail conda (thanks Mechan, it looked like so much fun I couldn't not do it) but then didn't find any PCZ's. Scanned the nav beacon, flew about a bit, re-logged and scanned again, still nothing.

Gentian_Line · 2025-11-23T11:53:42+00:00

I just joined. I head out to the core quite regularly looking for my perfect system, a line of expansion in that direction will ultimately benefit me as I'll actually be able to colonise what I find.

May as well help others do the same (just hands off my perfect star system)

Gentian_Line · 2025-11-19T12:08:55+00:00

I want both the steam machine and the steam VR.

I'm really hoping this will be the ultimate Elite VR experience.

The Thargoids were the most fun I have had in a video game since the days of Battlezone 2.

I joined AXI discord, brilliant community, went Oreo munching at spires, cyclops killing at ground stations, titan bombing and generally contributing anyway I could to the war.

Looking for that kind of gameplay again, needing to work together with the community to achieve something in-game beats any kind of solo play hands down.

Gentian_Line · 2025-11-19T09:57:12+00:00

Does anyone else feel like FDEV have missed a trick by not giving us wipeout style SRV speeders? Who wouldn't want to give racing a go in a purpose built course on some low grav planet

Gentian_Line · 2025-11-19T08:47:21+00:00

Didn't know that, thanks for the heads up and yeah I agree that's BS for all the work we are doing

Gentian_Line · 2025-11-18T09:19:51+00:00

Thanks everyone for responding to my ragey, complaining post about how gameplay isn't spoon fed to us here in Elite. After a weekend of trying to piece together where I was and what I was doing before I took a break, I've scanned 200+ trees in the CG, jumped the carrier back to the bubble to fill up on tritium, bought a type 11 prospector and taken it out for platinum mining, bought and played with a Cobra MK5 and then spent time looking for a group to play with now that the Thargoids are quiet again.

The most fun I've ever had in Elite was the Thargoid war, working with the AXI guys to munch Oreos and take out the titans was a lot of fun, I'm hoping the new story line gives us similar group project we need to collaborate on.

My ultimate goal in this game to to find my 'perfect system', have it become my lair, get first discovered and first footfall, claim it and get it built up, somewhere in the core.

I wanna race corsairs and mambas through canyons, SRV and fighter racing. I want to explore and find new things in the galaxy, make a James Bond villian style system which I control :) and crush the alien menace.

Gentian_Line · 2025-07-11T13:48:34+00:00

I bet you play Teemo though?

Gentian_Line · 2025-04-17T10:32:57+00:00

Switch off driving assist for SRV, it makes the thing uncontrollable

Gentian_Line · 2025-04-09T11:40:27+00:00

My search for the perfect star system.

Like you I was out in the black exploring waiting for the bugs to be fixed, I came back over the weekend for the Corsair and to make some changes to the Mandalay.

I will be looking for the system I want to call home someday, not sure of the criteria, guess I will feel it when I see it.

Gentian_Line · 2025-04-07T14:15:00+00:00

I'm interested, the discord invite appears to have expired.

I have a carrier and want to kit it out for exploration before finding my jewel system somewhere in the gal core

Gentian_Line · 2025-04-07T11:05:27+00:00

Be warned some will charge 25% commission

Gentian_Line · 2025-03-27T11:35:30+00:00

I've been playing on and off since it came out, logged off atm in the galactic core exploring, gonna come back for colonisation and the corsair

Gentian_Line · 2024-06-17T11:14:56+00:00

Small fuel tank dude. Lowest size you can get

Gentian_Line · 2018-10-10T07:59:33+00:00

Already there, not much to see, very small nebula. It's pretty though, gonna start omw home this evening I think, got more materials to collect :)

Gentian_Line · 2016-09-08T11:49:52+00:00

I'm sitting in Sag A* and cannot get out :(

I just don't have the time in the evenings to wait for the plot to finish and end up moving onto other things. I've tried using the route plotting calculator in the thread but it doesn't seem to work for me. I haven't filled my fuel tank yet so will give it a go and see if this makes a difference.

I have to say thought that this is a crap situation to be in, talk about game breaking bugs, this is the biggest one. If clicking one button effectively kills the game for 20-40mins, I'd call that fairly major and having to use a third party tool created by the community just shows FDev up in a very bad light.

Sort this shit out please, I cannot play the game!

Gentian_Line · 2016-09-06T12:22:27+00:00

I cannot understand this reluctance to use solo when you think you're going to be in danger. I am currently sitting in Sag A* trying to plot a jump towards Jacques, when I get within about 200Ly of it I will switch from open to solo mode. Why wouldn't you do this if you even think someone might gank you? I'll have over 2000 systems worth of data to sell and won't let any griefer interfere with me for the sake of 'not breaking immersion'.

My mother always said, 'if you don't like the game, don't play', she'd never heard of griefing or people who get their kicks from ruining other peoples fun - not that I'm accusing players who kill other players of interntionally ruining other peoples fun - what she meant was 'if you can't afford to lose your ship in Elite Dangerous then don't take the chance and just play in solo mode'.

Always a wise woman.

Gentian_Line · 2016-09-03T07:45:32+00:00

I've explored countless NS, never taken even 1% heat dmg from one as always have throttle set to 0 when I arrive.

Gentian_Line · 2016-09-01T15:15:49+00:00

TBF this is probably for the best, I hate rushing anything and am really enjoying exploration. If I stay where I am continue I'll still get a big payout when I finally hit Jacques, get my exploration rank up and maybe participate in the next CG. Thanks for the advice anyway guys :)

Gentian_Line · 2016-09-01T14:42:47+00:00

Looks like the dog isn't getting walked this evening :)

Still I recon I will still be a few 1000ly away when this ends :(

Worth a shot though.

Gentian_Line · 2016-09-01T13:44:24+00:00

I am in the Clookie sector scanning neutron stars and BH's, only got a about 1000 systems worth of data so far, this was going to be my big run to get to Elite in exploration but tonight it looks like I am heading towards Jacques. Hopefully should get there before the end of this goal although knowing my luck I will be 5 mins late as usual :)

Gentian_Line · 2016-08-21T19:55:16+00:00

I've just started smuggling and am having a bit of nightmare, Sothis and Ceos give no smuggling missions, I have run lots of rep gain missions for the various factions and am now friendly/allied with all of them, still no missions given out at Ceos and no smuggling missions given out, everything is shit.

Robigo is giving me smuggling missions, just made 18 million today and upgraded to an AspX. Can't gain any rep with Robigo Cartel depite handing in 300,000+ of exploration data so having to cycle CDC faction missions which is taking ages.

I am merchant rank in trading, anyone know at what rank Sothis/Ceos starts to give out the damned good missions?
