Elite: Game talk

AbbysHi,
I` m currently doing some on food missions but I do not get any materials in any settlement. no mats, no data in terminals, nothing. The only material I get is mission rewards. All crates, or shelfes, even the locked once are empty. Is there any known issue in this regards?

Yes. One of the top voted ones, in fact.

The issue appears to affect some but not all systems; some commenters suggested that settlements with Powerplay containers are not affected. I don’t know what the criteria are for a system to get PowerPlay items, though. FWIW, I did a number of reactivation missions in Sol 2 days ago and there were plenty of materials to loot, including the said Powerplay containers, as well as PowerPlay data in terminals.

MeowersDo you have any connection issues or do you have any other players in the instance? I've encountered it several times playing in a PG with a friend of mine, lockers may get empty if someone connects/reconnects or re-enters the instance after it was 'created' originally. Solo was way more stable.

I have encountered this bug (no items at a settlement) earlier while being alone in the instance all the time, so items disappearing when someone re-enters the instance must be another issue, probably connected to the well-known anti-relog-farming ‘feature’.

Vasil VasilescuMuch like space materials needed for ship upgrades and engineers, you need materials from ground missions to upgrade suits and ground weapons as well as unlocking ground engineers. However, the material grind is so bad that it is usually much quicker to just buy the ground materials from someone's fleet carrier.

On the plus side, (at least for me) high intensity ground combat zones can be completed quicker than space CZ, and the bounty/combat bond payout is significantly higher. The trade-off is that you earn negligible combat rank in a ground CZ.

Thanks for your reply!
Can you exchange those at Material Traders or exclusively this way?

On-foot materials cannot be exchanged at Material Traders.

On-foot materials of the category Assets can be traded at bartenders [edit: regular station bartenders, not FCs], but only within the respective sub-category (Chemicals, Circuits, Tech). Other categories (Data, Goods) cannot be traded.

Thinder'm impressed with the Cobra MK5, I'm starting to think it's the best ship in the game.

It is a very exuberant notion for a jack of all trades but master of none re. to MK5

Thanks guys for the infos!

Just treated Hinto (my Cobra MK V) with a Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack and a festive livery, the ship is swift, can carry enough cargo + Limpet Controllers and show herself very useful for collecting Materials...

The name Hinto comes from the Dakota language and mean Blue Haired... Funny since all my liveries are Red, but I might change for blue.

A question for those that are active:

Did FDev skip the regular Christmas / end of year daily ARX reward for daily login?

I definitely haven't received any. Some people thought the Titan assault in Sol served as the Christmas event (though it didn't)... I spun that thought a little further when I came across that thread on the Frontier forums again and it doesn't seem too far-fetched to assume that, because attacking the Titan would reward ARX (even though not everybody would participate in that, for any given reason), they skipped on them this year.

Is that actually what happened or did they forget? We might never know. Looking at the overinflated ARX pricing for cosmetics since they decided to 'revise' it, well... wouldn't surprise me.

They did bring back the mirror Chrome paint jobs (not the "chromed" ones that have always been there), which was all I wanted for Christmas.

Well, that aligns with the new monetization approach.
