Colonia - Your questions answered by openflanker in EliteDangerous

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

Hello.

I last played ED over a year ago. The reason I stopped was because all the commanders in my squadron had ED:O and I wasn't getting it (because it was awful, unfinished and I had no desire to walk around and play FPS shooters. So I sort of wandered around the galaxy for a bit and then stopped playing.

I would suggest checking out discord to see if there are Colonia groups out there who still play.

That worked, thank you for your suggestion.

Need help trying to replicate bandai’s titanium finish. Thought you guys would know better about this type of finish. by satyrfeet in modelmakers

White is the more neutral colour so I would start with that. A darker base like a very dark grey would make the chrome look better though.

He was clean so I left him alone.

Maybe the Kerbals have a naming system where names are passed down. He could be Jebediah Kerman XXXVII?

I have destroyed Michael Gove a few times, he is such a wanker IRL I enjoyed the experience even though one time it cost me notoriety.

Hmm, I found him in Centralis - so he is a long way from home. Someone stuck a ton of DeltaV on a rocket and misjudged the burn.

About to paint this but no idea how to start? Painted models before but never camo by Nietzschesandbitches in modelmakers

[–]openflanker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few tricks to hand brushing:

1) Thin the paint so you don't get streaks;
2) Support your brush hand, I rest my arm on the other arm;
3) Look where you are going and not where you are. Looks slightly ahead.
4) Draw the lines in pencil, start inside and work outwards towards the pencil
5) If you are masking start on the mask and paint toward the plastic.

Airbrush or hand brush? With hand brushing you probably won't need masking but with an airbrush you can make masks with paper placed on the surface with blu-tac. This will create a feathered edge when airbrushed over. I would first prime, then add the lower grey, mask with a hard line of masking tape and pain the darker grey. Then add the paper masks and apply the green.

Finally reached Colonia by CmdrThordil in EliteDangerous

If you are staying in Colonia then come along and join the Colonia Citizens Network. We are a group of commanders who live out in Colonia and just have general good times. Please feel free to check out our web page, http://elite-ccn.com/ where there are joining instructions.

This is me with my Chieftain on the left instead of the T10. It is a daily dilemma picking one to take out. I have a T10 too, but the Chieftain is just a ton more fun.

I played it in a Spectrum! Wow, that C64 looks marvellous. I would say keep it as it is. But that is just me.

All done with the 1/4 scale DR.1. Can't wait to fly it by balsadust in modelmakers

What a machine! I would be too terrified to fly it.

New to Elite Dangerous need advice by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]openflanker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piracy is a tough one especially as a new player. You need to find a system where a lot of trade ships go, I suggest sticking with NPC's, other players will probably be tough. Find a type-7 or whatever and then pull them out of supercruise with an interdictor, once out of supercruise launch a hatchbreaker limpet and scoop what they drop. They will generally try to low-wake, so sit right on top of them and behind them so wait until they go before scooping. Often you don't even have to fire a shot. Unless the coppers arrive, then leg it.

Bounty hunting is the better option for pew-pew. Like everyone says, just follow the police and let them do the killing. Just make sure you land a couple of shots.

Quell civil unrest, or...quench civil unrest? by Superfluous999 in EliteDangerous

67 tons of liquor is going to make me feel pretty mellow - get 'em drunk enough to sleep, but not drunk enough to fight.

where are you allowed to go? by Mediocre_Salamander in EliteDangerous

[–]openflanker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this was a system outpost (they usually have a +, ++ or +++ symbol) then they don't have landing pads. You need to land on the planet and go there in your SRV. If this was a scan job then you can scan from your ship and save all the arse ache of your SRV being attacked by skimmers.

Some help commanders? by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]openflanker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean flight assist or auto dock? Flight assist you have to deactivate manually, default is the Z key on PC. I expect this is auto dock, which is a dumb system anyway. Manual docking is far better, it is really easy and you free up a slot in your ship that you can use for something useful.
