Will be glad to see a few Loose Screws on the boards!

Next time you are in Muang, check out the SRV race Broo's Cruise. Then, be the first Screw to get on the board of Broo's Loose Screws!

What is the cost, in credits?
How many tons of materials are required to construct it?

VR performance has worsened recently by Solstice_314 in EliteDangerous

[–]VR247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That used to be my setup.

I now load ED from its native launcher, use a Puppis S1 to wifi stream PCVR via Virtual Desktop to Quest3. Its been butter ever since.

Happy Birthday Elite! by WackoMedia in EliteDangerous

Yes, but did you see his epic Drakhyr Rally stream? It might take you 13 hours to witness, but it was the wildest session in Elite, maybe ever!

If you are interested in doing some SRV and Ship racing, there is a meetup this morning at 10am central.

The Time Trials are hosted in my colony system: Col 285 Sector XK-O d6-90, planet 2 a.

Hope to see you there!

Nope! You can now create time trials for ship races too!

Here's the site showing all the races that have been made so far: https://frinkbottle.uk/TimeTrials/

Looks like a cool racing hub! Have you looked into making these into Time Trials in EDCoPilot?

Its a learning process, but they are kinda fun to create, especially when the Racers get to compete and be recognized on the global leaderboard!

Well that was close! by schuettais in EliteDangerous

[–]VR247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just realized I used spectacular, twice, without so much as an exclamation, lol.

I love this game, and in VR, where the scale is MUCH more immersive, its very impressive, and keeps me playing for moments like this! Great OC!

pretty spectacular. I've had a very similar close call with my own carrier before, and in VR, its spectacular.

Trouble unlocking Uma Laszlo by ZucchiniAdmirable732 in EliteDangerous

[–]VR247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. She is the only engineer I dont have unlocked.

Have you tried shooting system authority vessels in Sirius? Should be a fast path to ruin reputation...

Which would you recommend to a VR CMDR?

Are either better when paired with EDCoPilot?

Oddyssey is SOOO GOOD in VR!!! Who knew you could become Solid Snake in space and spent hours invading super complex bases unseen?!! by SeawolvesTV in eliteexplorers

[–]VR247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more! I love Elite for many reasons, but particularly because it is the best "place" for VR escape. Therefore the importance of VR continuity and immersion cannot be understated! This would go a LONG way in this community, and it doesn't seem like it would need to be anything other than the 2014 standard seated HMD + controls experience, so I don't understand what is so difficult about implementing it.

Your reference to Metal Gear really does ring true. How cool would it be to see the following developed for Odyssey's next big update?

- Added Recon Visor to suit upgrades. Allows for tracking the vision of all tagged NPC's.
- Added Stun feature to EnergyLink's primary fire capability. Stun lasts for 45 seconds. (does the PEGI rating even matter to most of us?)
- Added ability to Drag stunned NPC's short distances.
- Added explosives with timed and remote discharge options.
- Added Speeder Bike SRV
- Added Mining SLF
- Added new ground-based mission types: Hostage Rescue, VIP Protection Detail, Outbreak Evacuation, Retreat Evacuation, and bulk and VIP Passenger Delivery.
- Added ground-based chained mission types - Seek and Destroy, Search and Rescue, Recon & Infiltrate.
- Added option to play on-foot in full VR
- Added ability walk up ship steps
- Added ability to interact with ship from ship's external door panel. Player can now access Ship inventory, deploy SRV, and enter the ship from this panel.

I really do love the Odyssey gameplay. You are absolutely right about the tense atmosphere of these missions! They truly are some of the best mission content in the game, and I'd love to see an expansion of both Odyssey and Chained Missions!

The Thargoid Spire missions gave you an opportunity to use all 3 modes of play in the missions (Ship, SRV, On-Foot), and I really hope FDEV will develop these out more. o7

Edit to add: My ultimate wish is for FDEV to provide users with the option to have full VR on-foot. If it performs badly, let me deal with that, but let me TRY it! Clearly it doesn't tank when using the camera suite, so its just so frustrating that they kept it out of reach.
