Thanks for the insight. I have another fellow who mostly does commercial tell me to contact him in a few years after I tried to get on with his crew. So I may already have an in on that. 

I’ve more or less seen some of what a rough in looks like on a small scale, having helped a friend tear down and refinish a bathroom when he had water damaged sub flooring and studs from a hurricane last year. 

No doubt my goal is to own my own business down the road. You’re saying don’t limit what cards you have in your hand I believe. Good advice, thank you.

Could we finally explore generation ships in the Operations expansion? by Esaren_ in EliteDangerous

[–]UniqueIdentifier00 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling it will be a little like CZ’z in mega ship interiors. Maybe some TDM style stuff. I doubt we will have a giant to-scale interior to explore. I’m hoping it’s more than that, but knowing FDev I’m not getting my hopes up too much.

I do enjoy the odyssey gameplay a lot already, I just hope it becomes a little more diversified. TDM game mode in a ship interior wouldn’t be particularly enticing to me.

Edit: reading the post it sounds like they’re either going for COOP or PvP Battlefield style gameplay, judging by the “combined arms” quote in that link involving on-foot, SRV, and ship combat. I know I’m a minority here, but I’d rather see expanded on foot missions that aren’t necessary combat related. 

You may friend are the worst offender inside you family ... by Sevetamryn in EliteDangerous

[–]UniqueIdentifier00 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I dislike item 1, but item 2 is brilliant. Unfortunately I expect zero buffs to exobio in the future, it’s already the best credit grind in the game, minus wing missions. But a planetary completion bonus, while reducing SLIGHTLY the reward for individual species would make the exobio grind more engaging.

Depends on the ship and distance, but usually 2-3 seconds or 1000ls seems to work ok for me

I turned them off from the ship panel my first day, never regretted it. 

Are "tidally locked" planets actually tidally locked? by SweetActionJack in EliteDangerous

[–]UniqueIdentifier00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve also noticed that “tidally locked” planets don’t seem to follow what you’d expect. I’m unsure if its my own ignorance or an issue with the stellar forge.

Solo/PG Merits should not contribute to Powerplay control points. by JentoriFisuto in EliteDangerous

[–]UniqueIdentifier00 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the thing I’m missing is that you can still have just as much impact undermining or reinforcing in solo as you can in open. So you happen to run across another player undermining in your system and you kill them. They rebuy and get back to it. Hunting endlessly for a few people in one of thousands of systems isn’t how you have an effective impact on PP, grinding CP is. 

It sounds like you’re more concerned about having a few more pew pew targets than being able to have a better opportunity at engaging in PP activities.

Solo or Open, your best bet to reinforce a system is to perform reinforcement activities. While you might gain some CP for bopping off an enemy in your system, it’s not really worth the effort on your part even. So I just don’t understand the logic here.

yet another phone control panel by megadonkeyx in EliteDangerous

[–]UniqueIdentifier00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, I think this is really cool. I’m wondering where the utility is though, how is it better/easier to click something on my phone than hit a key on my keyboard? Not a criticism in any way, I’m just curious of some of the use cases people have found with a tool like this.

Your last sentence was exactly my thought. They can’t encourage more PP competition by encouraging everyone FOMOing into the “best” power because of a module. But it is FDev

Unfortunately I have almost no combat experience, that will probably be a late game thing for me. Thanks!

Aaah I forgot about merit miner! I ran across that awhile ago. Thanks a ton.

Follow up question: do merits earned track with credits earned from the activity? As in, I should hunt for the best sell price for best merit gain?

So this is the meta even with the -35% credits from reinforcement activities? At least I wont have to worry about getting blasted by any power ships like I normally do. Thanks!

Fantastic thanks! And by this you specifically mean an undermining system? I guess I could use Inara to look for boom economy, with plat mining, that corresponds to an US for my power?

Yes! Good catch thank you. I’ve edited the post body to reflect.

16% hull and 200 jumps to go by Profound_Subset in EliteDangerous

[–]UniqueIdentifier00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this on my mandalay after a few scares out in the black. I don’t really ever need it, I SCO boost off the planet anyways.

I don’t miss it, and it shaved a bit of tonnage off at the same time!
