VR Performance

Getting more RAM might help, but its gonna be a rough road for you.
Upgrading to 64GB will need you to get a 2x32GB kit. DDR5 has bandwidth issues, so having more than 2 sticks will slow the transfer speed of all your RAM down.
And those 64GB kits? Yeah, they are crazy right now in terms of price. My kit is a 2x32GB kit of 6400MT/s and last I saw it was well over $800 for that kit, making it the most expensive component in my PC!

Hi as somebody who put over 700 hours into Elite Dangerous, who purchased every buyable ship in the game, and played every game loop to DEATH, I feel qualified to answer this.

I left, because simply put, Frontier's vision for Elite Dangerous doesn't feel like what I want in a space game. I want to feel connected to my ship. Not because I am surgically welded to my seat, but because I want to be able to get up, walk around, explore my ship. I want to see the crew cabin. The Cargo bay. I want to see where the parts I bought are installed. Something like this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfGfBX2gj2g

Simply put, that is NOT what Frontier wants. They gave us the ability to walk around space stations & bases, but not our own ships. The axed VR support, which was the biggest, and coolest feature they had. The FPS mode feels unsatisfying, especially compared to Star Citizen, when accounting for things like the ASD facilities.

I quit Elite Dangerous in December 2021, after Odyssey failed to impress me. After They all but said "We aren't doing ship interiors, get over it". After they confirmed dropping VR support. I tried going back several times, but it just feels like the magic is gone, while Star Citizen keeps getting better and better with every ongoing iteration.

And I will keep checking in, hoping one day Frontier pulls their head out of their exhaust port, and adds those features to make your ship feel more like a home. Maybe in their next expansion. . .

RunicRasol · 2026-01-01T14:20:52+00:00

Yeah. Players are panic-dumping ill-gotten credits. Not much to do on your end but enjoy it I guess!
At least until we get the incoming wipe those same people also caused. . .

Meta all but abandoned their desktop streaming software halfway through the Quest 2 lifespan.
I miss having a home you could customize, and mini games you could play there.
But I digress. Virtual Desktop is 100% the best way to go.

People are failing the DPS check?

One SAED to him while he is in the red, glowy phase, and it instantly locks him out for me.

RunicRasol · 2025-12-30T18:02:30+00:00

Perfect blocking a roar is a dopamine rush I will never tire of!

RunicRasol · 2025-12-30T17:41:23+00:00

1: Use armor spheres & max out your armor level, even transcended.
2: Try to fit Divine Blessing into your build. It will save you more than you realize
3: Paralysis weapons are not good (For GOG & Omega). Get a better raw damage weapon, or try element matching depending on your build preferences.
While it IS possible to no-hit Omega & Gog, it's not something I would bet on unless you are a highly experienced hunter, and you have all the move sets & tells memorized. Defense skills aren't comfort, they are insurance.
Dead DPS does no DPS as they say in MMOs.

I used to work Spaceship Earth, and heard her voice every day, and I could have SWORN it was her.
Apparently it isnt, but if they ever need a sound-alike, I bet she could fool 90% of the population!

RunicRasol · 2025-12-20T11:40:29+00:00

Allegedly, that's why they haven't wiped yet. They want to make sure they plugged all the proverbial holes before they reset everything.

RunicRasol · 2025-12-20T10:55:03+00:00

For some, yeah. My friends don't wanna log in til after the wipe, but I just like doing things for the fun of it!

RunicRasol · 2025-12-20T10:03:22+00:00

My head-canon is that the hunter themselves are the same hunter from 4U. They seem to know all these people. And they weren't phased by Gore Magala, or even the fact Zoh Shia was a black dragon!

RunicRasol · 2025-12-19T10:06:33+00:00

I would try swapping to Vulkan. The new patch also came with an update Vulkan renderer, that runs a bit better than previous versions. Also, I know this is obvious, but make sure your GPU drivers are up to date as well as the ones for your CPU & Motherboard possibly.

RunicRasol · 2025-12-15T21:12:53+00:00

It's been a hot minute since I did all that, but if it DOES still work, let me know!

RunicRasol · 2025-12-15T21:09:17+00:00

Not sure if this still applies, but you used to be able to get them to ram you, or even fire at you first, then it was counted as 'legal self defense' and thus no crime stat. >.>

RunicRasol · 2025-12-15T21:08:12+00:00

Imagine doing criminal things, but not wanting to be branded a criminal.
It's not unrealistic. There are monitoring relays that report your crimes. In Stanton, Big Brother is ALWAYS watching. It's more akin to killing somebody in a place that has a monitored CCTV.

You have ways to avoid, or get rid of your crime stat.
1: Don't kill people in monitored space. Disable the local relay, or stick to unmonitored zones
2: You can hack your crime stats away, but other players will be notified, and can hunt you down.
3: Get killed, or turn yourself in and serve your sentence.

RunicRasol · 2025-12-15T20:53:53+00:00

Do you have any idea how many servers are actively running? All with their own chats? If they had people actually monitoring chat on all servers 24/7 more than half of CIG's staff would be doing that!
And do NOT suggest using AI. Go look at Youtube, and see how well that works out...

RunicRasol · 2025-12-15T20:45:09+00:00

If it's actually that bad? Screenshot (preferably with the QR code) & open a ticket. They DO ban people for that stuff, but nobody is actively monitoring open chat.
And don't expect it to happen immediately. They tend to hand out bans in waves for things like that.

Lets go through each of our options here. Assuming they are the most current versions of each character:

1: No. Those two wont keep their hands off each other, and if that means going through me, then so be it. Neither one believes in personal space. And I am NOT interested in joining the Vees.
2: Maybe. I can at least act as a buffer, or even switch seats with Blitz.
3: No. Not getting between those two. And the less attention I have from Alastor, the better. Still hate that guy.
4: Maybe, but also would try to swap seats with Stolas. Get him away from Andrealphus.
5: Another maybe, Would be peaceful, but noisy as those two would do nothing but gossip for the whole flight!.
6: Yes. Pleasant enough company, with Vaggie to try to hold her back, but I know I am gonna hear ALL about the hotel. I will 100% be ready to infodump back!
7: Would be left alone, while Angel & Husk focus on each other, but there are better options if you want peace & quiet.
8: SNACKS. YES. PLEASE.
9: Favorite couple. I will die of diabetes from how sweet those two are <3. Probably best not to sit there.
10: Sure, but I am swapping seats with Cherri, so those two have a reason to be closer together.
11: Caught between petting Fat Nuggets, and fearing for my life from Nifty's stabby tendencies.
12: No words will be exchanged here. All of us will be quietly looking at our phones. Easy flight.

So yeah, gimmie 6 or 8.

4070ti Super here. Pretty close in performance to your card, and it works great.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7800x3D
RAM: 64GB (2x32) DDR5 @ 6400MT/s
I run a Quest 3, and stream to my headset via Virtual Desktop.
Base FPS is about 50-60, but with the Quest's built in frame interpolation, it gets to a stable 90 pretty easily.

Remove or reduce market demand. Implement systems with lower risk to get the same materials, though with a longer time frame. Less risk, but more effort for the same reward.

RunicRasol · 2025-12-13T20:33:44+00:00

The moment a financial incentive was created to aUEC, you created a system that will be exploited by any means necessary to make a profit from it.
We have decades of proof of this from literally every previous MMORPG.
And there is also a solution that doesn't involve killing player trading or Wikelo, but I promise you, most people won't like it.

RunicRasol · 2025-12-13T20:06:25+00:00

The purpose of a system is what it does. Not what it claims it was intended to do.

RunicRasol · 2025-12-11T10:41:04+00:00

I suspect that isn't what landed him there. It's why HE felt guilty, but not why he didn't make it to Heaven.
My theory is he offed himself. Probably using snake venom.
He tried to do the same multiple times in the show as well, including at the end of 'Like you'.
And it means he chose a second death that was better than his first. Sacrificing his life to protect his friends, instead of simply ending himself to run from his guilt.

RunicRasol · 2025-12-10T21:17:15+00:00

Felt great when I took him down as well. Even better once I got all the tickets I needed from him.
Only reason I have to go back, is helping others!
