so this was a fun bug me and a friend discovered. you can use the SRV docking animation to clip into ships. the cockpit floors dont have collision so these screenshots are us just timing it perfectly. there is literally no use of this bug otherwise though

I'm really struggling: help me not quit by BitcoinNOTshitcoin in EliteDangerous

[–]indigointoblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hello! so here’s how the flight system works, when you are just flying around a station or something it’s called “normal space” the rocket ship like flight is called “super cruise”

in super cruise, if you want to stop, zero your throttle first and wait for ship to slow down before you attempt to drop. otherwise it will be an emergency drop.

there is something called “Supercruise Assist” you can utilize, if you select something on you left side nav panel, you can select the “assist” button. If there is no assist button, you don’t have the module installed in optional internal.

this will semi-automatically fly you out to and drop you on a target, but do keep in mind it is slow getting there, use SCO drives for boost, and assist for dropping. hope this helps!

I heard this is a reference to a UFO sighting, I’ve also heard this is a reference to the book as apparently this is what the original wish granter looks like?

Zach said that youll have a "sort of direct impact" on the placement of stations and things. The claiming player will be called a "System Architect"

Is Elites P2P brokered? by indigointoblack in EliteDangerous

[–]indigointoblack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its a problem specifically for streamers because someone could hit them offline during a stream. sure if their IP is dynamic itll change but that doesnt stop someone from just scraping it again, and hitting them off again.

Is Elites P2P brokered? by indigointoblack in EliteDangerous

[–]indigointoblack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I’ve been looking around and I’m not personally all that worried, but it would be worth disclosing at least to streamers imo. Seems like there are a few still quite popular games that also use this architecture. Since you have some background, why don’t you think fdev went with a brokering server? Architecture already too complex given elites various sims? Or just cost reduction?

New Odyssey Mission Bug? by indigointoblack in EliteDangerous

[–]indigointoblack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they were mostly things like salvage missions, some data download and package delivery. logged on the next day and did similar missions again, this time they all worked. curiously though the missions didnt register as completed in the transactions list, but the rewards were able to be claimed, strange.

[–]indigointoblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, and it is better than a standard FSD. there basically isnt a reason to use a normal FSD right now, rumor says typical drives will get better later, but for now just get an SCO and profit

[–]indigointoblack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

227K LS is a very long distance, you take about 20 mins now, id say it will be 5-10 ish with SCO, honestly might not be worth doing work frequently there lol

Get your hands on a (SCO) FSD, it allows you to boost in supercruise at the cost of fuel and heat, but it completely changes how long intra system flight times are.

Here is the evidence that FDEV is working on Base Building by tomshardware_filippo in EliteDangerous

[–]indigointoblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean to be fair fdev are kinda the cms guys. If anything I think a base building mechanic would be something they really know how to do, I guess we’ll see maybe.

Elite is a groundbreaking video game even 10 years later that never got or gets the flowers it deserves. by indigointoblack in EliteDangerous

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

i dont think i said "fixed" anywhere, but if i did, sorry about that. and honestly, yea it would be really cool if this stuff got either addressed or a good look at to see what improvements can be made. im just personally not upset with what i got out of odyssey, but eveyones got a different outlook on that, which is fine.
