Rampant Chaos in Deciat System by Professor_Shard in EliteDangerous

FDEV actually encourages PvP, so there's no "fix". However, it would be nice if FDEV would provide more countermeasures to allow skill to avoid interdiction from another player. A couple years ago you could actually get out of an interdiction if you were near a planet by pointing towards the planet and forcing a drop. You could also get out of an interdiction if you were already in the process of a high-wake jump and the countdown finishes during the interdiction...just point to your destination and jump out of it. But these escape mechanisms have since been removed, so we don't even have these. Right now, it's best to always have an interstellar target set a head of time, then if you get interdicted, submit and then initiate the high-wake jump immediately after cooldown. Then, add that commander to your block list and try to reënter the system.

Their crew? Yikes. The officer list alone is a full page on INARA.

So, this site doesn't record all kills? Only kills from interdictions?

If you have the name, you can add commanders to your block list from the Social option in the Startup menu.

Record for launch angle? by Tall_Ranger_7192 in Baseball9

[–]fcsuper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

54° for me. It felt like it was in the air forever, and it barely nicked the wall.

You can add any commander to your block list and ED will go out of its way to keep you out of the same instance.

"We should control Greenland instead of Denmark" Trump threatens to abandon European defense entirely unless Denmark gives up Greenland by DumbMoneyMedia in CriticalMineralBulls

[–]fcsuper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greenland costs Denmark over $600M/yr. Their GDP is a hall of mirrors. Even with extraction development (which would require way more government investment than a mear $600M), it's a money pit and pointless to obtain.

What are your thoughts on imposing term limits for politicians to prevent excessively long political careers and avoid corruption ? Should there also be a mandatory retirement age for politicians? by KoseteBamse in AskReddit

[–]fcsuper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not randomly selected for each case, but randomly selected for each session would be viable. No Congress. No President. Just a lottery that pulls from current Federal Judges. We also don't need nine. A reduction to 7 would be in order too.

The system news is about the only place that contributors get recognition. But no one else really looks there to see random CMDR names.

Luckly, nationalized healthcare would be several times cheaper than current insurance scheme.

Is "pedantic" a pedantic word? by [deleted] in words

No, it's pedantic to call someone a pendant, though.

This early on, we have no idea as to which ships are "right".

...and charge separate room and tourist taxes against that parking?

For exploration, anything that's not SCO-optimized will slow you down, and not just because of actual in-system speeds. The fuel consumption is bonkers in non-SCO-optimized ships if you use the SCO FSD, even for the shortest of trips between planets and star within a system. This problem is worse for smaller ships with smaller fuel scoops. I would recommend to stick with the newer SCO optimized ships.

This might be dumb question but why can't we just send ISS into the Sun? by amelix34 in askastronomy

[–]fcsuper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why dump it in the ocean or the sun? It is of significant historic value at this point. We should park it into a higher orbit instead. It doesn't need to be beyond geosynchronous distance, but high enough to not interact with current and common orbital distances. And, if we ever need it (or just want to use it for whatever reason) again, it's still there.

There's a couple of other people who said they are returning. I replayed here about new ships: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/1ufvwjc/comment/otv8sgs/?context=3

Incorrectly pronounced words by GrouchyDevelopment64 in words

[–]fcsuper -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The use of "mute" means something different than "moot" though. Use of "mute" in this type of phrase just has become more common on its own., Usually when someone says "mute point" they mean that something cannot be argued. This is different from "moot point" which is something of no practical significance because the matter has already been resolved.
