ED_RecluseAnother likely dumb question from me

I've seen a lot of discussion about the DEBUG Camera (CLASSIFIED CAMERA TOGGLE) but no matter what I do I cannot manage to move/zoom the camera sufficiently to actually see a full view of my ship. I use a Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS for Flight control and Throttle Control with the POV hat for Lateral/Horizontal thruster control. No matter how I move these around I cannot get the camera to zoom out far enough to see the kind of views I see in the Galleries.

Tried it in normal flight/docked/supercruise and see the same thing.

Thanks in advance...



do you use forwards throttle only? if you don't have a negative throttle axis you have to look away from your ship and throttle forward and then turn back at it again. If that's not it then I don't know, sorry...

i use w & s to zoom, just easier for me multiple strokes speeds up or slows down zoom, Saitek x55

You'll find them in the conflict zone in the Orulas system.

So, given the recent drama occurring with SDC infiltrating Mobius, do we want to revisit creating our own PVE Inara RP group? I'd be willing to host if necessary.

Do CG rewards scale with the tier they finish on?
As of Tier 0 the new starport CG is listing quite small rewards as shown in the CG section currently. Whilst the last cargo CG ended with huge rewards but as I was ill I did not contribute so do not know if it grew over accomplishments.

With respect to this post PvE group should be alright in the future with the tools/Frontier support provided, so I think it is not necessary. But, few of our members already joined "my" group which can be taken as an official Inara group. I was not advertising it as I think the current PvE group offers more possible interactions in PvE-like environment, but may be an option...

Hi all,
I'm thinking of trying my hand at bounty hunting. I don't have a large budget, but from what I've seen, the Vulture seems a good choice as a starter.
Does anyone agree, or should I try something else?
Any input appreciated.

@Beachwalker: yes, the Vulture is amazing for bounty hunting. You will feel like a god among insects. You will almost become bored of possessing raw pnage (are the kids still saying that, or is that 2010?) on tap.

The Vulture is the correct choice.

DBS! Never went wrong with this inexpensive ship A-rated, fast, nimble, took a pounding, fast-fuel scooping. Packed a decent punch. Reluctantly gave it up for a python mainly for the cargo space. Seriously, take a look at the DBS.

Vulture is a nice ship but I never lost to a Vulture in my DBS :-) Look at the DBS.

You will win so often you may get tired of winning.

The DBS has some teeth, for sure.

here is my loadout with the power management for Combat Zones. I guess you can figure out a power management to activate you KWS in rez zones easily.
