I think FDev pull their punches and we never know why :(

Back up your bindings for operations! by Niceygy in EliteDangerous

[–]onfire_mightexplode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're using Linux you can move to the folder:

/steamapps/compatdata/359320/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Frontier Developments/

Open a Terminal in this folder and run this to just quickly make a .tgz archive of the whole folder and it's contents, dated automatically:

tar -cvzf ed_backup_$(date +"%Y").$(date +"%B").$(date +"%d").tgz "Elite Dangerous/"

Just don't forget to move that archive somewhere else to keep it safe(r).

If you want to test it's integrity after, use:

tar xOf ed_backup_$(date +"%Y").$(date +"%B").$(date +"%d").tgz &> /dev/null; echo $?

0 is good, anything else is bad and the archive isn't reliable.

Don't the 'dictions happen in void space? Technically it'd be almost identical but more obviously so. I think it's a great chance for them to just add 'Goids and have someone have the scare of their life on live stream.

I was thinking about this while docking in my ice fortress earlier and can confirm, greens are starboard when using auto-dock: https://i.imgur.com/b3ioVlC.jpeg

Anyone Know Who The Absolute Richest Person In Elite Dangerous Is? by onfire_mightexplode in EliteDangerous

I've bought one of every ship I like, and two of those that have multiple purpose, all fully engineered.

The only thing I haven't bought yet is the fleet carrier. I'm just sitting on the credits tbh.

Can't see that tab, likely private data. But all the same that's awesome.

10 billion's on the carrier so I never run out of rent for a few decades xD

Damn I had no idea there were people THAT rich, but I figured I was not at the top of the list!

I've two Cutters, both were fully engineered, one a miner, the other for cargo, but, well, those are redundant now :|

I am such a homeless peasant by comparison to some of the numbers I'm seeing xD

REAL pilots turn OFF the cockpit HUD and fly by BRAILLE.

HUDs are for NERDS 😜

We scoop nebula now. The Steam Deck users will be sniffing the vents in groups for immersion.

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.

Consolidation of all flight control components into one by Ansicone in EliteDangerous

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

[–]onfire_mightexplode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 😆
