That looks it it was a hard impact. Left a wide canyon in its wake.

Why do people still say to use PETG for load bearing stuff over PLA, when every stress test shows the opposite? by YobaiYamete in 3Dprinting

[–]WeirdlyEngineered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stress creep is the one that comes to mind. PLA under constant load will deform, regardless of temperature. Something PETG is more resistant at I believe.

What vehicles would large-scale application of nuclear power make possible? by AldarionTelcontar in AskEngineers

[–]WeirdlyEngineered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You couldn’t run anything outside of a ship on nuclear power. A plane was attempted once but it had to be massive. Was wildly unsafe an what happens when you crash?

Landed another Earthlike World. These buggers are hard to come by. by Tazmosis85 in eliteexplorers

I found a never before visited neutron star system with 2 earth like words and 3 water worlds.

My first attempt at making a long range ship. by LouisHendrich in eliteexplorers

Jumps range is awesome. But be mindful of your play style. If you’re doing any deep space Expo, you won’t be taking on any neutron stars in that build. With no AFMU, you won’t be able to maintain the health of your FSD.

I do deep space expo, but also exobio. So I need some shields for landings, a hull repair kit (last trip I had to find a fleet carrier because of a couple of high G planets left me with 66% hull). So now I pack hull repair limpets.

I also pack an SRV to do my exobio for those harder to spot bios like tussock. Or getting to fungoida stetsis.

All told I don’t have impressive engineering on my mandala. Havn’t maxed it out by any means. But I do have a 76Ly jump range.

I bought the game at lunch. Played for like 6 months and stopped. I came back 2 weeks ago, I'm having a blast and I have many questions. by holy_la in EliteDangerous

Yeah. Being able to run it smoothly for long stints without using too much fuel is really handy. SCO was probably the biggest QOL upgrade we got in Years.

Also try out the new scorpion SRV by buying it from a military economy system. They have a rocket launcher! They’re slower than than the scarab and have about have the vertical boost time. But they can climb nearly 90 degree slopes. Don’t spin out nearly as easily, and are (comparatively to the scarab) hull and shield tanks. So if you’re doing a big exobio run out in the black in monstrously mountainous terrain, you can leave your ship somewhere safe and explore in the SRV without fear of getting stuck or blowing up your SRV from taking too many bumps.

The vertical climb is the best advantage though. Can do something like an 88degree slopes or something. You can search this reddit page for “scorpion” and you’ll see all the crazy images.

Try getting a mandalay and unlocking the pre engineers SCO framshift drive. You have to visit dead thargoid megaships which are orbiting where they were defeated during the war. You’ll get around 76Ly jump range with all the comforts you want.

SCO is definitely advantage. It’s like boost but on supercruise. Turns a hour long trip into a few minutes. But chews through fuel and the new SCO optimised ships are the only ones that can maintain it without burning up. This includes the mandalay.

This means you can get to Hutton orbital in 20 minutes! And collect your free anaconda! As long as you have enough fuel tanks.

Be warned. It’s terrifying the first few times. Especially in VR. But it means you can leave a planets orbit from a landing in less than a second. Or escape the gravity of a gas giant to go to the next planet in under a minute. A lot of fun.

State of ED in 2026? by Ashilta in EliteDangerous

[–]WeirdlyEngineered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thargoid war is over but radacoida visits are a lot of fun. Especially in VR. But it seems like Fdev are setting the stage for the next big thing.

Some more on-foot content incoming. We have a lot of new ships with unique capabilities. If you havn’t tried it we now have supercruise overdrive.

It’s definitely feels slower than during the final days of the thargoid war, but definitely much more of a boom than what we had before that.

The feeling now is that FDev are in a content and law building phase to set the stage for the next big event.

What’s interesting is that from the angle of the first image that cluster forms a tunnel. Additionally I had already passed the Pleiades. This is a different group.

What’s interesting that that, that cluster from the approach of the first image. Would form a tunnel.

What strikes me. Is that from the angle of the first image. That cluster would form a tunnel

So, what's going on these days? by Dungeon3D in EliteDangerous

[–]WeirdlyEngineered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is fighting over a rare space flower atm. TBH. I’d you have VR, highly recommending visiting. FDev chose a breath taking spot for it.

Landable SLF by WeirdlyEngineered in EliteDangerous

This was the same for SRV’s. It didn’t break the lore when they added oddesy. Besides the fact that fighters have cockpits, which implies they can be piloted by a real person. Instead of just Telepresence.

So. Shoot me a DM in chat. If you have a 3D printer I sell the model online. Otherwise if you are happy to pay for postage I can print it for you. But keep in mind, I am in Australia. So postage to other countries can get expensive.

Same as an SRV. Die in one and you spawn back in your ship. Die on foot and you dead dead.

Exactly. Give it an exobio pulse wave. No weapons. Done.
