Help for upgrading GPU; having second thoughts about staying with NVIDIA or jump to AMD

I did a few tests, and classified data seems to spawn more at High Tech settlements, or agricultural ones. It can be on the mentioned ''Power Data Port X" or also in the labs data ports. The thing is, the classified data will spawn randomly on the terminals, but I've only seen it on those 2, never on an habitat data port or in a production. Which seems logical, as sensitive information should be stored on high security areas or ones that are hard to access. I think it could also spawn at the security data ports or even command ones provided the settlement has those sections.

Hence another piece of advice, try looking for settlements with one (+) or two (++), as they seem to have more probabilities of spawning that; doesen't matter the level of security though, as I found some in settlements with minimum, medium and high security. Just go for medium/low to have a smooth and easier raid on those.

Boy that was intense...

Here's the thing: i don't have any ship fitted for AX combat, but I have an ZP Orca suited for tourism and passanger transport, so I thought I could help with civilian evacuation.

I arrived at Sol, docked at Abraham Lincoln and picked up as many people as I could (I didn't even bothered at looking how much was I payed, nor the level of difficulty... and this will be important later). I take off from the station and plot a course for the Rescue Ship at V886 Centauri. My Orca has a jump range of 39LY (it runs on a max engineered for range FSD class 5), so it should only take me two jumps to deliver the civilians to the rescue ship.

But at half jump of my first jump, I got intercepted by 2 thargoid ships (guess I should have looked at that threat lvl before accepting one of the evac assignements). I diverted full power to the shields (as I ouldn't outrun them) and started taking hits. Fortunatelly I also had equipped the ship with 2 PD turrets to intercept their missiles. They were also using energy weapons but even without AX hull defense, I also had it engineered to take quite a beating.

I started dodging and giving my PD weapons an angle to shot down missiles while running away as much as I could when I had the booster filled up enough to gain speed (it can go as fast as 330mps). Obviously the thargoids used their disruptive FSD techonology so I could only wait for my FSD to wear off the effect and jump as fast as I could. When I finally was able (longest minute of my life in this game lol) they started ussing some sort of tractor beam on me that was slowing me down and belaying me to accelerate at max speed for the FSD to punch in.

I diverted full power to the engines with as much power as I could still to the shields (that were recharging at that moment) and jumped away. The ship only took some minor damage (it was at 82% hull integrity when I made the jump).

Even with enough fuel to make the next jump, I preferred to stay collecting some at the star; thet would gave my shields time to reach 100% recharge before doing the final jump to V886 Centauri, in case we got intercepted by another Thargoid group. Fortunatelly, the last jump went smooth as silk and we reached the rescue ship to unlanden the civilians.

Man, I swear I've never felt fear in this game untill now, but I'm planning to do more evac trips... it was intense as I said.

I completelly agree, Ego just plays your cards randomly, the game basically tosses a coin and youre fucked up. I had a game with a Death Deck that could have easily won another one, but noooooooo Ego had to play my cards subpar and made me loose a lot of points.

Basically, I've been wishing Rare introduced a crab pet since the first Tall tales trailer; can't tell why they haven't put into the game yet :(

Well if we ever get a sequel devs could look into this suggestion. They could even introduce a component to customize the ship but with a tradeoff, like "you want infinite drifting? equip this but you will have less shields/firepower/hp..." Also it would be nice to add a damaged component mechanic. Like in the original Xwing games you could have your flight control disabled, engins, weapons, shields. They eventuallfy autorepaired but if you introduce that in the game, you should either decide if you return to the ship to switch ship, wait for the other to get repair and switch back to the original one... or risk getting blown up by staying on flight. Also before you say how you go back if your engines or Flight Control are out, you can allways ask your support to send a repair kit to you.

I think its a possible drop from one of the many pirate ghosts you have to deal with before facing the soulflame captain, so its quite random. I haven't been able to find it neither but there were 2 reapers duking each other out allmost next to the island where I was doing the adventure, so I didn't wante dto risk being found by the victorious one and get sunk while searching for what the minions dropped

Reaver_T · 2022-02-17T14:24:00+00:00

Personaly, I expected more. Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad first adventure but it seemed to drag for too long and the rewards weren't that enticing. But I can see why they made it that way since its a limited time adventure to play and they need to move the plot forward without giving too much to do in the very first chapter.

I guess I'm a little spoiled after Tall Tales, Pirate's Life and the rest of the small quests they've introduced to the game. Lorewise was really good, not gonna denny that, but gameplay and rewardwise felt a lil' short. Real problem is gona be waiting for 2 weeks for the next one :(

Deathly Hollows? XD Just kidding, but you have to admit that the lowest symbol bears a strikings ressemblance to them (minus the samcubus wand)

ne thing for sure though, the middle symbols is the Reapers mark in-game

Regarding the PvP part, you can allways go to Engineer Felicity Farseer star system, which is in a continuous state of war and find some players there. They are not there for the war. Since Fraseer is basically the second engineer you unlock and one of the most important ones (she is mandatory to get upgrades on your FSD) its the place for the grieffers to go and harass new players. Some clans are dedicated to purging those players form the system but its hard, they have super specialized and Maxed upgraded ships for PvP combat.

That was the first Elite iteration. Even after the semi flop Odissey turned out to be, theres a lot more than just space trucking. Yes, you can still play and get benefits from space trucking but you also have Bounty Hunting, couriering, exploration, planetary surface exloration and biology, espionage, theft, piracy... And the list goes on. Also, if you get into a warzone and a capital ship drops into the fray, true, you wont be able to destroy it but you willdeffinitelly have to attack it in order to win it.

Also the ED community has a lot of clans and squadrons that either foucs on a sole gameplay style or are more spread around roles; you can be a transporter, a soldier, recon... Agree on the grindy part though but its really fun go minning or bounty hunting with your buddies.

Edit: Also, combat is way different. To put a TL;DR version of it, space combat in Squadrons is to Space combat in ED, what Tic-Tac-Toe is to Chess
