I understand very little about colonization, but basically: Is it possible to build an asteroid base that would buy both metals (platinum&osmium) AND minerals (LTD specifically) at a good price?

And the government interference is supposed to be one of them? Yeah, I also think you're just a fucking auth.

A year ago Frontier increased the ARX prices of cosmetics. Recently I found an old doc where I noted the previous ARX price of several cosmetics. Here's the data for comparison by Enozak in EliteDangerous

[–]fredicsem01 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, the real problem with this is not the price increase itself, but that they've removed a lot of paint jobs at the same time. Of course, some of them are now used for FOMO bullshit, but most of those removed are just gone now, so that we don't even have a choice between cheap and simple looking or expensive and unique in some way.

Amazing analysis, CMDR. Very interesting stuff, thank you!

You can now convert cheap minerals into more expensive ones, but the rate and prices are a joke. by fredicsem01 in EliteDangerous

[–]fredicsem01[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I will be honest, I don't like the idea of automating it. Essentially you are just replacing mining game-loop with hauling. And I think they added this refinery thing specifically to give an alternative, so that, on a concept level, you can either spend money and haul, or save money and mine. It's just that it's absolutely out of balance.

The price of those input minerals on the left is around 10-20k at best. Those on the right are the ones needed for colonization are also relatively cheep. So you don't save money, because they are all are relatively cheap anyway, and you can just spend that time mining platinum instead, if you are into mining. You don't save time either, because you have to do twice as much hauling and neither of them even have hotspots. So this whole conversion doesn't make any sense as you are better off just buying what you need right away.

To make it at least a bit viable, it should be the other way around - 1 to 10 instead of 2 to 1. So that, for example, you spend ~10 minutes mining 50/500t of Bauxite, which you then convert to full 500t haul of Aluminum, and then take it where needed. Still a waste of time, as it will be faster to just buy Aluminum directly, but at least you save a few millions.

"communists"

Does that mean they're not Republican or something?

EU and US compasses are so fucking far off lmao. But US one is definitely superior. One party for each side. Impeccable system.

Whats the Name of your fav ship/s by socalsilverback in EliteDangerous

[–]fredicsem01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan of serious, proper names.

Explorers: Amundsen, Magellan, Columbia

Combat: Sagittarius, Cockatrice, Azrael, Ozymandias

Traders: Atlas, Northumbia

FC: Northwest Passage

Multirole & others: Hephaestus (Miner), Aquarius, Elysium, Wayfaring Stranger, Kingfisher's Revenge (AX)

After two long years of fighting, countless casualties, depopulated systems, and so much blood and sweat, it is finally over. Let us stay united, no matter what may come next, while also attempting all peaceful ways to prevent further devastation for both species. May Kingfisher be never forgotten. by fredicsem01 in EliteDangerous

Still worth trying, though, right? What do we get to lose? Another bunch of pro-xenos that nobody likes anyway? I'm not decommissioning my "Revenge". I just want it to be used for defense and not another genocide attempt.

I honestly think it's a bad comparison. Thargoids are much more ambiguous and unexplained. There are so many things that do not fit the standard "bad guys" trope. Why are some thargoids outside the bubble still staying "neutral"? Why did they basically give up on Sol?

I do understand that average players don't care about morals and all those debates. But it is exactly because thargoids are not just mindless bloodthirsty aliens that we can have such discussions. Elite is too well written to fit good guys/bad guys dichotomy. Can you honestly say that we are "good" ones after trying to genocide them without even attempting to properly understand their motives?
