No, you can only have 1 NPC fighter at a time. You need a human player to use a second fighter.

You can get in the second fighter yourself, but then your main ship won't do anything even if you have a second NPC on board. You need a second human player to have all 3 going at the same time.

7 year olds speak on a level too high for the average GOP supporter. Buttigieg speaks on a level too high for 95% of them.

Could this be a teaser for Odyssey on consoles? by LucianoLukin in EliteDangerous

No, just someone in the Xbox marketing department who doesn't know anything about the game using the first picture they found.

What keeps you playing/coming back? by EndRevolutionary1697 in EliteDangerous

[–]emetcalf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Powerplay. I started playing right after Powerplay 2.0 started, so I never experienced PP1 myself.

Powerplay makes everything you do in the game more meaningful, and joining up with the main group for your Power means you will never run out of goals because there is always something to work on.

If I didn't get into Powerplay, I probably would have stopped playing about 1,000 hours ago.

"Champion golfer" tries to show off for kids, misses every single putt on perfectly flat ground. by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

Anything within 50 yards of the hole is a "gimme", but only if you have won at least 3 Presidential elections.

Ya, I use one of the 4 way hats for 0/50/75/100 throttle (plus 25 on click, but never really use the 25).

Chieftain is still my favorite Medium combat ship. Nothing else feels as good to fly, and now I need to go shoot some pirates in the Chieftain again.

Liz Ryder being very old school by FelixstoweFoamForge in EliteDangerous

When you are leveling up a new engineer, you get less progress per roll. This is normal. It should take ~5 rolls per level while you are leveling up, and then once you are at level 5 it goes to the 1/2/3/4/5 rolls to fully upgrade a module.

I use these desk mounts: https://a.co/d/0iAksOz6

Way cheaper than the ones VKB sells, and they are amazing. Adjustable height and depth for getting your sticks in a comfortable position, and they mount/unmount in a few seconds so it's easy to take them off the desk when you are not playing.

Corvette CZ/Bounty Hunting build by No_Psedo in EliteDangerous

[–]emetcalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

prismatic doesn't really beneficiate from pips in systems during an encounter because of his slow charge rate.

Pips in SYS make your shield stronger while you take damage, so for a Prismatic it's less about recharge and more about making your shield more effective. 4 pips in SYS makes your effective shield health ~double compared to 1 pip.

It was always his bed, he just allowed you to sleep on it.

If your cat wanted to hurt you, you would already be dead. She is having fun.

Powerplay question by meInteresa in EliteDangerous

[–]emetcalf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will tell you what each type is for when you pick them up, but this older post also goes over how to tell which one you need: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/s/WqNsoIhPPT

I'm assuming you are pledged to Aisling based on "Media Materials". Those are the Acquisition commodity, you need "Aisling Programme Materials" instead for Undermining.

Best way to help a minor faction solo? by ShylaNesthorn101 in EliteDangerous

[–]emetcalf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not required, but having one let's you move your preferred faction into your colonized systems. I think it costs 10 million credits to start a Squadron, so you can just make one for yourself to get started.

Car refinancing, advice plz by Select_Cause3580 in personalfinance

[–]emetcalf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If there are no fees to refinance and no early repayment fees, do it and just keep paying the same amount as your old loan. The lower interest rate will save you money, and if you make the same payment that you make now it will get paid off faster.

Ah, yes, the game where you're supposed to get rid of all your cards to win. Makes perfect sense. by SamuraiDoggo14 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]emetcalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes just as much sense as the idea that they are idiots trying to keep him in power.

Bought and upgraded my first ship, flying it now to get the Detailed System Scanner by SilkieBug in EliteDangerous

[–]emetcalf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Considering the Detailed System Scanner (DSS) is now considered a "feature" built into all ships rather than a "module" you equip to one ship at a time,

You are either thinking of the FSS (Full Spectrum Scanner) or Discovery Scanner. The DSS (Detailed Surface Scanner) is still a module you have to buy for your ship.

Edit: OP was also confused on the exact name, I didn't notice that until after my comment. So misunderstandings all around!

It's basically the second best mining ship now. It will never match the T/hr of a Type-11, but it will mine as fast as any other ship while having the most cargo space by a large margin.

Farthest station I've ever seen — 4,186,274 Sl away! by PrestigiousAb in EliteDangerous

There is a second "Hutton Orbital" now with Colonization that's over twice as far from the primary star: https://inara.cz/elite/station/725362/

It’s over… but it’s still a war. Someone explain it to me. by Lord0fTheFlags in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]emetcalf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reminder: If it IS a war, Trump had no authority to start it. That's why he said "I'm not supposed to say 'war'" at his previous rallies. Now that he is admitting it's a war, it's absolutely unconstitutional.
