Dovahkiin717hello everyone new to the game only picked up about a week ago. since then i have been playing catch up on information and past of this game. any tips or tricks and or great lore to pass on please do. thank you all and fly safe.
Greetings Commander. What ever you do always have a fuel scoop on any ship you own so you never get stuck low or empty on fuel. I'm sure multiple people will tell you lol
Tricks and tips would be take it slow, this game has a huge learning curve as I'm sure you might be aware of by now..... but there is always something new to LEARN. I been playing for 7 years and am always learning something new. Never feel worried about asking a dumb question as no question is dumb when it comes to space travel! Some systems require 'permits' to enter depending on the factions. You'll need to rank up by completing certain missions to gain access to each individual system permit.
Also if you haven't done so already, Download the FANDOM app on your smartphone or create an account on a PC and search "Elite Dangerous.'' The FANDOM app pretty much has everything you need to know about ED. Best of luck on your journeys Commander. o7

Danbrown26Hi all, been playing for many years pve but tonight had my first pvp experience and Haddmy a## handed to me by a corvette + 2 before I could blink. Any recomendations for improvements on this please https://edsy.org/#/L=FO0aCC8D0H4C0S00,HhRH1BH_W0Hf5H1BI_W0EjGH13P_W0EjGH13P_W0EjGH13P_W0,DBwH19K_W0DBwH19M_W0DBwH15K_W0DBwH15K_W0DBwH15K_W0DxG21,9p3H15G_W0AAAH16G_W0AOEG15I_W0AcIH15H_W0AsO01B8gG13K_W0BLAG13G_W0BZY11,,7SkG19O_W07go017go014xo4168MK12G_W00nF41,So_0You_7Re_0Afraid,DA_D17F
Incomplete engineering is part of the issue, the other is that this is specced more for PVE than PVP. In PVP Absolute damage is king. You will face Plasma accelerators and ramming which will punch through your low shield health by ignoring most of your resistances. Also, your choice of (insufficiently engineered) light armour is debatable. You'll also want to switch to more burst damage (plasma, rails, frag cannon) than sustained dps as you have now with the beams and MC
your linked build translated to Coriolis PVE
Something that might last a little longer PVP improvements
Side notes: Docking computer... Really? Also, deep charge on FSD is not advisable. Even when the math tips in DC favour for jump range the boost is negligible compared to the increased fuel consumption, especially considering that the ships this is applicable too generally have small and slow Fuel Scoops.
This build will probably trigger Epi's love for thermal resistance. Keep in mind that if you add the Effective Shield stats (ignore explosive it skews the number too much and is much less of a concern) you'll see that stacking for shield health gets you more general defensive capability. Unfortunately at this point the debate over ideal pvp builds is a rock paper scissors game. If you use thermal shields instead of reinforced you'll get rammed. If not, plasma'd, etc..

Wow really comprehensive advice, thanks! My other fdl has pa's/rails but a similar shield booster arrangement, I'll re engineer the boosters, and fsd. I'm in two minds with the armour as the fdl's strong point is its speed and I don't like to impact that too much, I do have reactive for it but took them off as it feels to me like defeating the object of the fdl or is it better to have the armour and loose a bit of pace? Docking computer truth be told I forgot it was in there, well spotted!

The main thing I was interested in with Elite was the prospect of roleplay. I've roleplayed in a couple games before over 5 years or so, but I've been doing text-based since October of 2004.
I'm still in the process of writing my Commander's backstory (though it's heavily intertwined with my friend's), but I've got an outline done-and a bit of a teaser. If you're interested, I've posted it in this here spoiler.
The alert tones, sirens, and lights flashing weren’t what caused #1515 to break focus, as the ship she was forced to work on was occasionally attacked, and sometimes had components temporarily stop working. What broke her focus, however, was the prison door opening, signaling a systems failure so catastrophic that everyone must evacuate. With the doors open, #1515 ran, worn magboots clanking as she immediately searched for a way out-and hiding from anyone else who might spot her. She was NOT going down with this ship, not now, not EVER. #1515 recalled seeing some escape pods in one of the cargo bays she was assigned to work in, so she ran there as fast as her legs could carry her.

KazukoHimuraHey, guys. You can call me Kaz, I got into this game through a friend of mine that I met in another game. Played Elite briefly in 2020, then went on a long hiatus, only to return for Odyssey's release.

Last time I heard "Don't worry about that", I ended up with an uncontrollable hic that makes me call her cute and innocent almost on command.
Perhaps we should talk.
