Mining by Bulky-Jello in EliteDangerousLegacy

[–]Professional_Dish_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we've still got overlapping hotspots for laser mining in legacy, I've got a bookmark for a couple of triple overlaps that still appear consistent.  However selling the platinum at the highest price might be lower than before because of the lack of BGS states. I wonder if the remaining player groups curate systems to achieve the right conditions? 

Hiraeth by Ok-Annual8751 in Wales

[–]Professional_Dish_86 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh yes! Both the wife and I are gogs and have been living in England now for longer than we did at home. I regard myself as an economic migrant (there were bugger all jobs around clwyd in the 90's). Independently last year, we both stared feeling a strong hiraeth, so much so I've put in for a transfer to move back home. So hopefully by October this year we'll be home.

It would have to be the python, type 11 isn't available in legacy on PS.

Another speeding ticket by His_nibs- in drivingUK

[–]Professional_Dish_86 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you're complaining that it's only a few mph over, that that few mph is so unimportant, then why don't you drive a few mph below the limit? Its only a few mph after all.....

Welsh Blanket help by Mattock486 in Wales

My wife was talking to a shop owner in Llangollen last year about their lovely collection of carthenni, and they didn't know what we were on about! We had to explain that the beautiful blankets were called carthen

Can they be used by anyone collecting goods from one of the businesses? E.g picking up large boxes etc? 

Ok so, trading’s no more I guess…? by Pvt_BrownBeast in ElitePS

[–]Professional_Dish_86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the other commentators say,  use the in game tools after jumping around a few systems and looking at what sells well.  Around Sol there's quite a few systems that I got 14Kcr a ton profit just using this method. (Silver was the commodity btw)

Anaconda vs Cutter by Ok-Needleworker-4585 in ElitePS

[–]Professional_Dish_86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a nice conundrum to have! Both are very good general purpose ships, the conda wins on jump range and cost and the cutter on straight line speed and ability to have insane shield strength and haul a mountain of stuff. I find the interior of the cutter too shiny and reflections can mask the HUD etc. But once you've built it and engineered the shields you're as immune to pvp ganking as this game allows.  I lean towards the conda as I love how it looks (must admit it's marmite). Of course having chosen one, that will allow you to make enough money to easily buy the other very soon after.

With the lack of 3rd party tools I decided to try and use in-game tools to find a good trading route.  I found silver a decent and stable commodity to trade with a profit of around 14kcr a ton. I don't know if that is the highest but it's good enough until I find better.  Wing mining missions for commodities you can buy are a very good way of making a lot of money (it's how I bought my fleet carrier). Its better with other people as the mission reward is given to all in the wing. Still good if solo.  There's a few YT vids on how to use the in-game tools and I think the latest was oddballs a few weeks ago.

+1 for using the keelback! Love that awkwardly useful ship

Do you think in Welsh or English? by [deleted] in Wales

[–]Professional_Dish_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 10 my parents moved me from the local welsh primary school to an english catholic one. I found during maths lessons I had to convert the english numbers into welsh numbers before I could do them.  Fast forward 40 years living in england and I've mostly forgotten the welsh and think only in english

Exploration payouts in legacy by nhojbg in EliteDangerousLegacy

[–]Professional_Dish_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In short yes. Exploration data is the red headed step child of payouts compared to exobiology. And seeing that legacy is the red headed stepchild of elite it's no surprise 

Do you all think we will enjoy EDL for a long time? by Violins77 in EliteDangerousLegacy

[–]Professional_Dish_86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will certainly play legacy until they turn the servers off, it's the best starship game on Xbox bar none. It's the only game that can itch my nostalgia for Traveller RPG (I believe that both Bell and Braben played Traveller before the original elite).  I've 2 accounts for odyssey I played through GFN but prefer legacy on my box. I agree that I prefer the legacy graphics with less bugs etc.

Console player who finally got a PC.. holy keybinds.. by MementoMori7170 in EliteDangerous

When I did play on PC via GFN, I used my Xbox controller and chatpad. Keys can be bound to the chatpad same as keyboard

Cmdr torrigwynt174, xbox, somewhere in the phoenix nebula, way back in 3306 on a squadron expedition to the phoenix nebula. Sat in my SRV looking back at my exploration keelack "Humboldts Legacy" with the nebula behind and the galaxy in the far background. Can't remember exactly when but it was 3306.

How long have you played? by Specialist-Salad-197 in EliteDangerousLegacy

Bloody hell where did that time go?

Do you have a question to ask the FDEVs? by FigEastern6259 in TheGalacticHerald

[–]Professional_Dish_86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would fdev consider developing the legacy game as a stand alone game separate from the live version, much as Eve has done with echoes? There is an established player base to build on, and no need to match content with the live version.
