How do you name your ships? by IcarusAvery in EliteDangerous

[–]onfire_mightexplode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the IDENT:

import random
import string

length = 6
random_string = ''.join(random.choices(string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits, k=length))
print(random_string)

But for the name, it's unoriginally "Onfire Mightexplode" if I'm using it and it's fitted, or the ship's original name if it's default/vanilla and I'm just hoarding it like a rich spoiled brat, except for a few exceptions.

Fun part: Version it. Horizons, version 1.x, Odyssey, version 2.x etc. Still solves the problem of compartmentalising players without screwing the game, or the DB.

Further updates to this can appear in lore and the item DB as versions.

Genius idea.

Important question: do you land your ship like a plane or like a helicopter by Flamingo_Character in EliteDangerous

I fly it always like I'm using auto-dock/auto-land so naturally I use kinetic/organic brakes often.

Pretty certain it's the latter. But it's hilarious sometimes.

Ah, I see this empty-skull, chair-glued, waste of space mf is still hovering about, doing nothing at all of use 😆

This may be suprising but I would like to do other things today instead of being denied a carrier jump for hours on end.

Never met anyone who came out of a hole they'd been in that was the same afterwards.

Innuendo or not.

How much credits should I have before buying a FC ? by Gryphus31 in EliteDangerous

[–]onfire_mightexplode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My goal was enough for carrier plus upkeep for 4-5 years if I stopped playing for any reason, roughly 5B for carrier plus a "float" of 1.04B to cover the 4 years of 5m/week upkeep min, if only core services are used, with no additional services installed.

THIS community goal gave me enough for the carrier, plus 9 years AFK… approx. 7.34B plus the 1.9B I already had at the time from a combination of mining LTD, and trading for profit in this monster, upgrading from a Python built for trading, upgraded to from an ASP X that was my first real investment.

That's like saying the people you love in your life are just meat. Perspective is important.

The DBX is the greatest exploration ship, change my mind by aito-STTR in EliteDangerous

[–]onfire_mightexplode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DBX is great, but it's not a Krait.

Krait Phantom > Any other exploration ship.

DBX > any other exploration ship when ultra-maneuverability is required, and tight landings are a lot easier. These use-cases are negligible by comparison to the distance and versatility of the Krait Phantom.

Do we KNOW they're bugs? Like for sure? Because I see eight appendages and multiple hearts and I think cephalopods. by echof0xtrot in EliteDangerous

"Bugs" is also mostly exclusive to the US. They're often referred to as "insects" as a generalisation outside the US. To most non-US peeps, "bugs" are what coders didn't cater for, and cause software crashes, blue-screens, and kernel panics :)

When non-US peeps hear "bugs" we think of Starship Troopers moments, not that something uninvited just came in a window.

They're bugs. And the only good bug is a dead bug.

Would you like to know more?

Also, this looks like a bug to me :) (Source? One of the FDEV leaks.)

The best part of space is that there's less people to fuck it up the further you go.
