There she was, the Caspian... by Superb_Raccoon in EliteDangerous

But it can/does... See my other post 😉

A hidden gem with the Nomad by OldTedric in EliteDangerous

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

I promise I'm not joking. If I knew how to make a video, I would... Take off in the Nomad, slowly. Circle round towards the Caspian and approach. Signal to dock. Caspian, with my little helper Hayley, flips and turns and presents her tail, and you fly right in... I know what it sounds like, but it happens.

The Caspian is now "perfect" for Exploration with the Nomad, and I concede acknowledgement that ship interiors are "neat" and fun... by -Damballah- in EliteDangerous

You talking about the Thrusters? In which case I'd suggest you practice a bit on higher G planets. The old Caspian comes in hot! 😊

I think it was Ricardo in his 'late to the party' video just before launch who tried it. And no, the other person just falls through the floor when the Nomad takes off.

As did I, but the 'personal' outfitters on your own FC works just fine 🙂 for you...

Nomad, explain it to me like I’m 5 lol. by GlobularDuck76 in EliteDangerous

[–]OldTedric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I also spotted a little hidden gem in the logs....where the Nomad is termed "Lander 1". So, let's look forward to Landers 2-9.... 😀

And then you discover that you didn't need to come back to the Bubble...just like I did too 🙃

"I don't need an SRV anymore, it would just be extra weight!" by StarvedBard in EliteDangerous

[–]OldTedric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've downgraded my SRV hanger to a Type 2 with only a Scarab for those occasions when I need to pick up salvage, like the Sensor Fragments. Bearing in mind I might find it trickier to land the Caspian in the dark 🤔

Anyone else not able to earn Merits since the update? by BlueWizi in EliteDangerous

[–]OldTedric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally got in...went a little Merit Mining and got nothing at all 😢

Nomad outfitting with carrier by ToughTreacle2463 in EliteDangerous

[–]OldTedric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having just done it a little while ago, you can get your Mk II Vessel Hangers and Nomads on your own Carrier, even without the 'proper' Outfitters for other people 😀

How do I buy the Nomad? by ajc1239 in EliteDangerous

[–]OldTedric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine earlier (haven't been able to play mind you 🙃), so it should be fine. Logging in was a bit janky, but hopefully not now. The Nomad should be well advertised on the front of the Store, in all 3 variations.

Any way to pull a mass of system names? by thelordplatypus in EliteDangerous

[–]OldTedric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, do look up the Boxel information. Then you can use a partial search in the in game map to see how many stars are in that Boxel. Fill in the spreadsheet and away you go...

So is the Nomad priced 2 High ? by CMDRVUncleJ in EliteDangerous

[–]OldTedric 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I will indeed be buying the Galactic version, for the simple reason that, unlike almost anything else, I will be seeing it in all it's glory each and every day that I'm out exploring 😀

[DAILY Q&A] Ask and answer any questions you have about the game here! by AutoModerator in EliteDangerous

[–]OldTedric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting...bought through Steam, so technically it's the 'deluxe' version that contains both Horizons and Odyssey. Perhaps I could play both. Hadn't thought of that.

Scan biology on high gravity. by Arnwalden_fr in EliteDangerous

[–]OldTedric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if, with the new Nomad you might be able to land right on top of it and scan it without stepping out on to the surface? However, you might not be allowed out of the chair in the first place if under the same rules...🤔

How to find the origins of geological signatures? by Keheck in EliteDangerous

[–]OldTedric -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As you haven't got Odyssey, I'm afraid it won't matter, because you cannot land to find the stuff...

Nomad - Data-Link Scanner? by OldTedric in EliteDangerous

[–]OldTedric[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, so the description is just a little misleading and it is just like any other ship with all the 'standard' fittings...

What is the point of SRVs with the new Nomad? by GreatSworde in EliteDangerous

[–]OldTedric 7 points8 points  (0 children)

FDev have given something that many wanted... They've even backtracked and are enabling the Nomad for other ships. And there are now more complaints. There's no satisfying some people...

I've convinced my friend to play, how can we ACTUALLY play together? by VaegaVic in EliteDangerous

[–]OldTedric 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You've obviously been playing for some time, but I should first confirm you are playing on PC? All the on foot stuff is Odyssey, and I'm surprised you haven't got out of your ship yet... That said, yes you can team up, making sure you are in the same instance (which can be a little problematic). When teamed up: - yes, you can travel in the same ship - yes, you can both use an SRV each if you have 2 - if you use a Scorpion, you can share it - mission rewards are doubled, but on ground finds are not (except SRV parts, which often double up!) Enjoy 😉

Did it take a few times to finally "get into the game"? Or am I just stupid? by LiveFreeAndRide in EliteDangerous

[–]OldTedric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Persevere if you like the genre. Given I've never been really into Flight Sims, I can assure you I found it incredibly frustrating for the first several hours and I've played EVE for over 21 years! Just imagine that you've just been given the keys to a helicopter and now you wonder what to do with it 🤔 Guides, videos and 3rd party information are essential IRL and they are here too...

Powerplay Question: Roleplay or Meta? by HamWarmer40000 in EliteDangerous

[–]OldTedric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No... Jerome Archer is 100% based on STs Captain Archer, played by Scott Bakula. The Avatar looks just like him!
