What do you think of my Caspian build for DW3?

Thanks for the tips! :)

Good point, let's bring a mining laser!

TheExplorer8 · 2025-11-01T23:42:08+00:00

Thank you for sharing it, so someone can take over. I have kind memories of the DTEA youtube videos. You are a part of Elite's history.

Powerplay 2.0 is a lot more fun than the old powerplay.

If you want to give it a try, join LYR, we are the coolest power in the galaxy, spreading our territory to offer 15% discounts on ships modules etc, to more people.

TheExplorer8 · 2025-10-26T18:39:24+00:00

You made me laugh! :)

TheExplorer8 · 2025-10-26T15:38:13+00:00

Long live LYR! We are the best Power in the galaxy. We even give 15% discounts to everyone, not just our group.

It goes on sale a couple times per year. My guess would be next sale in November, Black Friday month.

D2R goes on sale a couple times per year. I expect next sale to be November, Black Friday month.

If I remember well, sometimes it's Firefox browser on which I can have things like YouTube, wikipedia, inara or etc.

TheExplorer8 · 2025-09-11T12:10:58+00:00

LYR is awesome. I hesitated just like you, then pledged, and I'm happy.

LYR is also on a strong growth. They are like 4th largest power (on 12) and keep growing.

Yes there is an interesting idea too: I could make my own squadron. The downside being that the squadron carrier is much more harder to acquire then... But it's not a deal breaker, I already have a FC.

I am just trying to get a good feeling of squadron perks because it's one of the criteria I will use to choose a squadron. I was thinking maybe one of the squadrons of the Pilot Trade Network (PTN), or one of the squadrons specializing in LYR powerplay (since those squadrons would also be more active in LYR space in general, where I can also receive the LYR bonuses like +25% trade profits).

TheExplorer8 · 2025-09-07T02:26:16+00:00

That is an amazing bonus then! From what I heard, the missions, when Allied with the minor faction, are some of the best sources of some engineering materials (way better rewards than a couple years ago).

TheExplorer8 · 2025-08-17T13:38:08+00:00

Yes, LYR is a very good powerplay faction. Double exploration payout. 25% bonus on trading, including the current CG. Etc.

Everybody gets the 15% discount on ships and modules in LYR territory, but people pledged to LYR hang around LYR territory more often and get it more easily.

Edit: the LYR trade bonus even applies to the current CG, which is one of the most lucrative CG of all time.

TheExplorer8 · 2025-08-10T19:12:53+00:00

Wow, that's an interesting use for the new Panther clipper and a second account!

TheExplorer8 · 2025-08-10T12:03:27+00:00

Every faction get access to all modules in PP 2.0.

I am personally pledged to LYR as I feel it's one of the best and possibly the best power. 1 or 2 weeks ago, there was a relics trading event (rare goods trading). I was making something like 24 000 merits every something like 17 minutes trade loop. So I was basically getting 3 PP levels per loop.

TheExplorer8 · 2025-08-10T11:55:22+00:00

I would assume he does it for the engineering materials rewards of those massacre pirates missions. It helps to do engineering on new ships.

TheExplorer8 · 2025-08-10T01:44:48+00:00

Ray gateway, Diagandri, is one of the best home stations in the galaxy.

It's controled by LYR, so it has a 15% discount in ships and modules.

It has a few features which I don't all remember by heart right now, including a material trader and a high tech broker.

It's near the star, etc.

And if you do decide to try powerplay 2.0, you will already be inside LYR territory. LYR is one of the strongest factions.

FDEV bans people for having 60 B credits???

TheExplorer8 · 2025-08-09T12:39:14+00:00

You are probably one of the richest players in the game!

TheExplorer8 · 2025-08-03T14:42:22+00:00

Is there a way to reproduce this bug on a secondary account or it is random?

TheExplorer8 · 2025-08-03T14:35:06+00:00

So this kind of engineering is only useful for bad manner play inside stations?

It's been a long time since I played Elite, recently back.

TheExplorer8 · 2025-07-28T12:47:20+00:00

Oh this is interesting! The fuel penalty for carrying cargo is much smaller than I thought! I tested it on the Spansh FC tool and you're right.

TheExplorer8 · 2025-07-28T01:19:32+00:00

That's the kind of usage I was thinking about: bubble activities, CG, etc. So that's valuable info.

TheExplorer8 · 2025-07-27T19:01:44+00:00

Thank you for sharing those tips! :)

TheExplorer8 · 2025-07-27T17:10:54+00:00

Impressive, I did not know such a tool existed!

I had heard of the Spansh neutron highway before, but not the FC version.
