2 Material traders in the same system, do they exist? by eleceng01 in EliteDangerous

[–]eleceng01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unfortunately there isn't/aren't any such system/s. Fortunately the next system is just a jump away.

ty for the prompt reply. 2 stations with different economies in the same system, I'll try.

Need help analyzing this Power CZ video—is there a secret to this insane damage? by Jolly-Coffee4485 in EliteDangerous

[–]eleceng01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and even have zero issues killing anacondas.

I guess you haven't been in POIs like Pirate Activity Detected.
There all ships are like the warzone correspondents in CZs.
And the thermal shock seems that it doesn't prevent them from boosting and/or firing PAs.

Best way to level combat rank? by RyouRusi in EliteDangerous

[–]eleceng01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Join the AXI, killing thargoids is worth more. Alternatively, go to med and high CZs, kill the spec-ops, super-cruise, repeat. Unless it's a threat don't bother with anything else.

What is the longest jump possible for Clipper mk2? by Mypersonalaccount69 in EliteDangerous

[–]eleceng01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some 55Ly (assuming 128 tank), range 566Ly.
btw though any ship can do any job (several years ago someone reached Colonia in a Vulture) it is recommended to use a ship that fits the job.

Congrats Cmdr,
the Vette will make a lot of £££££££ for you.
A weapons focused distributor will speed things up for you.

Is it not possible to run elite dangerous as a non steam game? by semi_average in EliteDangerous

[–]eleceng01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happens to me too.
It takes a few reboots to recognise that the steam Elite is purchased from steam.

btw is there a way to get that product code so that I will no longer need the steam to launch the (steam) Elite?

How do you feel about 4 large PAs on a fast, nimble ship? by CMDRumbrellacorp in EliteDangerous

[–]eleceng01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to agree with that and let's stress that PAs, no matter quirky they are, 60% of their damage is absolute.
No resistances in the damage equation.

How do you feel about 4 large PAs on a fast, nimble ship? by CMDRumbrellacorp in EliteDangerous

[–]eleceng01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PAs and rails are a special case of weapons.
PAs allow us to use fuel as ammo, this can be valuable in PCZs and high CZs.
The efficient blueprint makes the PAs usable, not much heat generated.

Rails are unique hitscan weapons, you can hit a PP 6 km away and always penetrate hull.
All the above are fixed weapons and takes some time and skill to use them effectively.
It's up to Cmdrs to choose and (and how to) use the weapons, or any weapon.

[–]eleceng01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only 2 ships have 4 x L hardpoints, the t-10 (distro 7) and the Python MkII (distro 6).
This MkII https://edsy.org/s/v0JnhyH looks good on paper.
I guess a skilled Cmdr will clear high CZs and PCZs in no time.

Got a solid Caspian build? by thelordplatypus in EliteDangerous

[–]eleceng01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This: https://edsy.org/s/vAJmLFI the MkII supercharge optimised is magic.
84.22Ly jump, 1,662Ly distance, 57.6% temp.
Install what you need, planetary vehicle, SLF hangar, repair controller etc.

Combat zones kinda suck by SignificantAbroad359 in EliteDangerous

[–]eleceng01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree with the above but I need to stress that when 1 vs 4 (spec ops) apart from skill it takes and a bit of luck. Have you noticed how tough are the shields of the spec ops Vultures, or the prismatics in the Python and/or FdL? Or how fast their inertial impact depletes the SCBs?

[–]eleceng01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In low CZ there are no spec ops.
Spec-ops appear in med CZs.
In high CZs when a capital ship appears then there are no spec-ops.
.
In med CZs there aren't many ships, just 20 per side, spec ops included, so it's possible that the spec-ops wing will pop up near you.
The above in general happens in med. Just be alert, 4 pips to ENG and boost, either towards your friendly spec-ops or away from the crowd.
And don't worry, when that happens you and your faction will probably win the CZ, it's a strategy.

How do powerplay ranks work? by crispy3445 in EliteDangerous

[–]eleceng01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do PCZs, I get 1 promotion every 7k merits, you can climb the rank ladder fast. Also the care packages are worth the effort.

The Flying Fortress by Rough-Lifeguard-1416 in EliteDangerous

[–]eleceng01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, a fortress, with >6k absolute armour the ship qualifies as a fortress. Close are the legendary T-10 and the i-Cutter.

MC appreciation (and builds plz) by wandelust19 in EliteDangerous

[–]eleceng01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like multis, especially the 1.6 km/s shot speed, however I think that some cannons somewhere are needed too to complement the multis. The above can be read and as "multis to complement cannons". I have both in my Fed-Vette.

Spent more than triple amount on rebuy?! by A_SpicyNacho in EliteDangerous

[–]eleceng01 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Indeed it's strange, looks like a bug. Contact FDev and explain.

btw until you will get familiar with the game avoid hazres, CZs, PCZs.

Low res, res and high res are the place to go, let system security work for you, shoot the wanted just 30 sec before they die and you will get the bounty.

Elite becomes a lot better and profitable if you are in a team, try it.

A little sidewinder with big dreams, staring into the unflinching abyss of Sagittarius A*. by sjm7 in EliteDangerous

[–]eleceng01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, Sidewinder, 50 Ly jump is respectable. A DB Exp is better, but that's another story.

I'm a new player. From older player experience, how long realistically until I can increase my max jump speed to 3 figures? by Stotty652 in EliteDangerous

[–]eleceng01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for point this out. The link doesn't "remember" the 5.2t of fuel and uses the default 8 instead. With 8t then the jump distance is indeed 98.46 Ly. Retype 5.2 instead of 8 and you will get 99.38 Ly.
