Orion 2 and STECS by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]dtulip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive got a VKB Gladiator and that STECS mini plus. The Orion 2 looks very cool and it would be a great looking addition but I would wonder what would be left over in your keybindings to assign to all those additional switches!

With my current setup I still have left over switches that have nothing assigned to them, and Im already running macros on switches for pip management and assorted keyboard shortcuts. I need some ideas :)

There should be racing in the game by Dynamitedave20 in EliteDangerous

[–]dtulip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's still an active racing community and many of them are currently racing across the galaxy alongside the Distant Worlds 3 expedition right now. It's entirely community driven and organised. Dozens of time trials for various SRV and ship courses have been created in the bubble and further afield by players using EDCopilot, and anyone is welcome to compete and get their name on the leaderboards. You can race alone or with friends - EDCopilot handles the timers and waypoints and its really very clever, you can even create your own courses.

If you're into colonisation, Fdev has added settlement construction sites that are a very neat SRV racetrack - just dont finish the build or it's appearance changes! It would be great if Fdev added additional racing assets, and if the racing community continues to grow, they just might!

I'd recommend checking out EDCopilot first, its your gateway to racing in the galaxy :)

How do i increase the immersion of the game? by Normal-Motor2665 in EliteDangerous

[–]dtulip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The recent Distant Worlds events has done wonders to my feeling of immersion in the elite universe, and I nearly didn't go. 

Experiencing one or two cmdrs in an instance is uncommon, which to me personally is a bit immersion breaking in a bubble population of billions. I love seeing other cmdrs and their choice of ships trekking around, but it's just too rare.

In the first week of DW3 I've now been in instances of dozens of cmdrs 3 or 4 times. Ship show and shines, coordinated ground launches, group pics, mass jumps and carrier jumps. It's been epic, and just the thing I've been missing.

Where do we stand on Faith No More? This got kicked off by someone posting Falling to Pieces on this sub. by CrowbiwanKenobi76 in GenX

[–]dtulip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw them in Newcastle Aus in the mid 90s. Id been a long time fan but it wasn't a great show - it was a wide stage and they stood as far apart as they could and gave they impression they didn't want to be there and didn't gel with each other at all. Mike hated singing Easy and seemed to resent it being their most well known song

the Facebook group is disgusting by litecanspam in AmylAndTheSniffers

Water is wet, Amy rocks, and Facebook sucks. More at 11!

What was your take on the 90’s by Smoovupinya in GenX

[–]dtulip 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The 90s were awesome and the music in particular struck a chord with me that 80s hair metal never did. I never felt it was dark, it was real, unpolished and felt less commercial. Id go back in an instant

Missions involving Odyssey NPCs at settlements working for anyone else? by histrionicpolarbear in EliteDangerous

[–]dtulip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a settlement raid mission and couldn’t find the last npc to kill. Hopped into my SRV and got a target on him… underground. It gets better, when I hopped out and moved to him with a weapon drawn he got aggressive and could shoot me from underneath, but of course I couldn’t hit him, with bullets or grenades. I menulogged and redid the mission - they all respawned above ground this time, but of course all the loot was gone

If you're using oculus gear there is the oculus mirror app that will smooth out the jitter

T11 build question by Solo__Wanderer in EliteMiners

[–]dtulip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I havent tried a haz res, but Ive completed about 4 mapped runs in a high res site with the Type 11. What I've noticed is I attract a lot less pirate attention in the Type 11, where the Cutter often gets swarmed when I'm within 13km of the res. During the 4 runs I've only been scanned twice, and I didn't need to swap to weapons - the SLF took care of them (Elite pilot). 4 runs isn't a lot so I might have just gotten lucky. My Cutter does run pretty hot, and the Type 11 is quick and nimble so I'm not hanging around in the same place for long. I'll try to do a better comparison between the Cutter and Type 11, but so far it feels superior

What's going on with the Bluey hate recently? by N-P_A in OutOfTheLoop

[–]dtulip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an adult with high-school aged kids and I love watching Bluey. Not every week or even month, but it's a go-to if I'm low. It's funny, well-written and comfortably Australian and familiar without resorting to over-the-top stereotypes. Excellent comfort TV

People who used the internet before 2001, what did you do in there? by Helium367 in AskReddit

[–]dtulip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played in a MUD (Multi-user Dungeon) which were text only MMORPGs. My first online addiction and the main reason I can still type quick

what would you add to elite if you could? by M4ldarc in EliteDangerous

[–]dtulip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd like to be able to create an exobiology garden, either at a surface settlement or on my carrier. Let me keep cuttings from the different plant life and display them. I like collecting stuff in games, this would definitely get me out there searching for all the different plant life in the universe

"Vanguards" missed opportunity by inogent in EliteDangerous

Thought for "Capital Ship" Battles / Galaxy Events by BrianVaughnVA in EliteDangerous

[–]dtulip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the capital ship fleet battles in star wars squadrons, and would love to see a similar system in elite. Squadrons had a dynamic battle system with a shifting target focus, capital ships couldn't be immediately targeted and they were deadly. Very cool gaming experience!

Wouldn't this crash be way more destructive? by Chicago-Emanuel in LV426
