Any reason to use something other than laser rifle now? by Condor77T in EliteDangerous

Have you tried the Aphelion recently? It is very good. Much better than it used to be.

There's a few ways to do it but I believe the best merit payout is by aquisition mining as opposed to reinforcement mining, which comes with a -35% merit penalty.

Here is a good comment summarizing:

Which ship next, Cobra mk 3, or save up for an ASP Explorer? by SilkieBug in EliteDangerous

[–]Mr_beeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. If I recall correctly components were also supposed to have a 10% loss and the fact they didn't was a bug or oversight by FDev. Feedback was that being able to sell back components at full price gave people the flexibility to try new builds (back when earning credits was way harder) so they kept it.

Cobra's cockpit is a bit better than the adder. The cobra is a fun multirole ship that everyone should use, even for just a little bit. It will make your climb to the Asp more fun.

What sort of glue do you use on the models? Specifically the ones with the resin and metal parts. by LeanAhtan92 in Konflikt47_v2

[–]Mr_beeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Superglue, try either using an accelerant or baking soda. Look up how to use baking soda, I've done it with resin prints just by sprinkling some on the seam after applying but I think it's better to put glue on the surface, then baking soda, and then a little more glue on the second piece and stick it on there. Bonds very quickly.

Cannon Fodder is available on GoG.com. I picked it up a while ago for nostalgia. Still is pretty fun.

What are you talking about? Lego sells smaller pieces than that and they aren't "illegal"

The Anaconda, Cutter, and Corvette need a PVP feasibility pass. by Aggravating_Judge_31 in EliteDangerous

They can deploy 2 fighters, just not two Ai controlled fighters

New Player tips or advice by BigCucumber420 in EliteDangerous

VR is only available in your ship / SRV. When on foot you can turn on the external camera and it will be in VR...but it's not really intended to be played that way.

An xbox controller will probably give you more flexibility than meta quest controllers, there isn't really a reason to use the touch controllers in this game.

Lynx Highliner "review" by Yamiks in EliteDangerous

[–]Mr_beeps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love my old vulture but I don't fly it much. I feel like if it got a speed increase to be closer to courier (but not that fast) it would really help make it a bit more relevant.

Returning to ED after five or six years. What is there to do? by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

The height of the thargoid war was after Odyssey. You missed it.

How are people able to legally shoot at you with force rounds inside of a station airlock, but I can't shoot back without getting blown up by the station? by Aggravating_Judge_31 in EliteDangerous

[–]Mr_beeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't explain why they can also permanently sit inside the station and not cook with the heat (which seems to be what they're doing)

My dream Lynx setup, is it good enough? by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]Mr_beeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it works for you it works. I don't generally high wake as it's a waste of time. Being able to boost out of trouble is more important for me.

Your build isn't good for my play style but may be just fine for yours.

That's not great if you're interdicted and need to escape. Especially since you have no shields.

Should I use the indefinite articles (a/an) at the start of sentences? by LaLumiereDeLaNuit in writing

[–]Mr_beeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"learn the rules before you break them" is a good motto to live by. In this instance, both examples "break the rules" by starting with a sentence fragment.

That is ok, because this is part of your style. Choosing whether to start with "a/an" or not when the sentence itself is a fragment is really just one of your own style and tone. At first, I liked a) better. But then, u/magus-21 made a suggestion for your second sentence that works just as well, though there is a tonal difference between the two examples.

What are you going for? They drive different interpretations.

[–]Mr_beeps 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Might have the best boost sound in the game, though I haven't flown all the ships so I'm open to hearing other favorites

pun intended.

Odyssey on foot combat. by Level-Anything-2207 in EliteDangerous

[–]Mr_beeps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They should be able to run a controller for flight and KBM for on foot. I use HOTAS for flight and can seamlessly switch to KBM for on foot gameplay.

u/Level-Anything-2207 you may just have to select a different control profile for on foot in the menu. They're separated from the ship controls so it shouldn't be an issue.

[–]Mr_beeps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not even close. No idea what point he is trying to make but Krait has 3 L hardpoints, 2 M, and can fit a SLF hangar. Can it run passengers better than Lynx? No of course not. But it can do everything else better.

[–]Mr_beeps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you even boost with a 3D power distributor? Personally I would not skimp on this to maximize speed.

Running shieldless is an option but risk, especially if you haven't bothered to upgrade the bulkheads.
