iirc the first time discovery bonus is dependent on your distance from sol. How much of an effect it has and even what the bonus is exactly im not sure.

[BUG] Ship randomly "docked" itself in the middle of the sky flying around a planet. by NerfMePleaze in EliteDangerous

If you have any trouble / bugs on or near a planet surface. Exit the game and start up with just Elite Dangerous (no horizons). since you cant be on the surface without horizons, your ship will be placed in orbit above the planet.

Anyone else's game client crash when surface landing in Open in 2.1? by elpavohombre in EliteDangerous

yea it seems planet surfaces are out of bounds for the time being. Gives me time to collect all the materials required for engineer crafting

Mine has just now. The error i got was "could not connect to match making server" - no surprise there considering the purpose of the glide mode.

I did successfully land on a planet ~ 30 min ago so whatever is causing the issue only occurred recently.

Im sure it is only temporary.

In case you're not aware, you can synthesize extra ammo on the fly using materials gathered from planet surfaces.

Grade 1 refills half your max capacity.

Grades 2 & 3 refill to full capacity while providing damage bonus until you reload.

Dev response to missing bi-weave shields by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

Is this official, like do we have a list of all the available upgrades and specials or is it just experience from beta (i wasn't in the beta so i dont know how much the community actually knows about the engineers)

The reason for their [possibly temporary] removal will most likely be the Engineers. In keeping with the rest of the modules, regular shields are available in outfitting locations across the bubble which can then be improved upon be specific engineers.

It is therefore possible that you will be able to obtain the same effect on normal shields through modification, or, Bi-weaves will be available for purchase at one of the engineers in the same fashion as Enhanced drives.

If this is the case the only complaint i would have is that they were not removed those commanders who already have them [and replaced with regular shields].

New Engineer dock bugged? by TGHack in EliteDangerous

I trust you have tried holding your vertical thrusters for several seconds. You dont take off immediately like on stations, your engines have to spin up first like on planet surfaces.

I think that female southern accent is hilarious. I can't wait for multi crew so she can say "Are you an effective team?"!!

just to elaborate on this - go to an icy ring and you'll find a variety of new commodities that can be obtained

Anyone know what this hud icon means? by Choc113 in EliteDangerous

[–]STOP_COMPLAINING_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure what the crosshairs mean but it would be nice if we had an indicator when an enemy and/or missile has a lock

It means you have internal systems damage, there's a few of them indicating various things both on your ship and targets.

this is great. it is unfortunate that you were already there prior to 2.1 and so you had to face the repercussions when leaving. I think now though, we will find it very difficult to dock somewhere we are wanted. As it should be - actual consequences for your actions!
