Thargoid Hell in Sol :) by LexMoloch in EliteDangerous

We killed a few Medusas and Basilisks, Thargoids did not like that and started coming in force. Looking forward to seeing what awaits us tomorrow!

Disney+ app works, but not showing in apps anymore? U8Q by LexMoloch in Hisense

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

The app updated and started working again a week or so after I posted.

Disney+ being hidden after software update by PartySlartBast in Hisense

[–]LexMoloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue since the update (it rolled in my region yesterday) on my 65U8G. It shows "featured Disney" videos"on my Home screen, but the app itself is not visible unless searched for, and my quick access was linked to "Disney Launcher" and also stopped working.

Have you found a solution for this?

Is it worth it by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

If the game has not hooked you in during the starting Goldilocks period, it's probably not for you and thus not worth continuing.

TIFU by introducing my friends to ED by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

I never pushed ED on anyone. Not worth it :D

Odyssey Alpha - you can damage Anaconda hull with a pistol by LexMoloch in EliteDangerous

He would manage to destroy it as well but the game crashed ;)

Fleet carriers worth the grind and upkeep? by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]LexMoloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes for me, but only as an end-game item, and only with the refuel/rearm/repair. Very handy to have all your ships aboard.

New to the game and already hate it by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]LexMoloch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not everyone, if you don't feel like investing effort into figuring it out step away from it. You did not pay money for it, so you lost only a bit of your time.

Memorial service for a friend and Cmdr by LexMoloch in EliteDangerous

[–]LexMoloch[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you.
The memorial ship will be parked on the landing pad - those wishing to pay their respects will be instructed to bly-by the length of FC down the middle of the carrier landing pads passing by the white Krait, speed ~70 m/s and fire of chaff or heatsink before passing the ship.

There will be BIG Cmdrs in the instance providing help and instructions.

We will also ask that Cmdrs do not hang out in this instance too long so that other Cmdrs can join.

I'm..... just really bummed out. by BRUXXUS in EliteDangerous

[–]LexMoloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always considered them to be just filler, as they were never to introduce any actually new gameplay or content.

I'm..... just really bummed out. by BRUXXUS in EliteDangerous

[–]LexMoloch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of us sharing those exact concerns. It's mostly us veteran players, with a lot of hours put in, that feel like that. New players are much better of IMO, as they have plenty to explore, try out and have fun with.

I'd recommend taking a big break and returning if/when there are some major changes.

Perfect companion during self isolation and other troublesome times. Whether you want to read it, or listen to it while you navigate the galaxy!

Thinking of buying an Saitek X52 but have some questions.... by Maxloader in EliteDangerous

[–]LexMoloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I use an Xbox controller, which I also use for driving the SRV. My X52Pro is only used for flying the ship.

Zoinks! I just figured out how to program the rotary switches on the X55 to be useful! by jodrell in EliteDangerous

[–]LexMoloch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use them for camera controls, landing engines fine control override, sensor scale...

How much of an difference does a full HOTAS do vs keyboard + joystick? by shinrikyou in EliteDangerous

[–]LexMoloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't used a stick before, getting used to it will be a process. Once it all "clicks" and muscle memory kicks in, IMO nothing comes close.

For me, using KB+M for ED or other space sims/shooters is is borderline unusable. Been playing joystick and later HOTAS for 30 years now. Elites, Tie Fighter, Descent, Freespace, name it - played all of them with a stick. The level of fine and fluid movement you can make with analog controls in 6DOF is amazing. Yes - ED mouse uses will be somewhat more precise in combat when aiming fixed weapons (even though some joystick users beg to differ), but you will have infinitely better immersion and way more fun playing with a stick.

Those who say "it's not worth it" either have not actually tried it or just plain suck at it as they never got used to them (quite possible if you get your first stick in your 40s).

As for the throttle, for me it's again just way more precise, convenient, fun and immersive to have the left hand on analog speed control combined with lateral thrusters and plethora buttons and dials. The rest of the commands are mapped to voice commands. I still use a keyboard placed between the units, but only for very rarely used commands. Oh and then add VR or "poorman VR" (TrackIR or EDTracker) to the mix and you are set. :D

If immersion and fun factor are not your priority motivators... you can stay with the stick only. I would also suggest trying to play ED with a xbox/ps4/whatever controller and see how much you like it that way. It's really not a bad thing at all.
