SurrenderJust curious: bounty hunters, what's your typical payout per trip to your BH location? What's your highest single payout from one BH trip?

Wondering because i had my highest single payout today, 11M in one trip. Surprised to see it bumped me from top 40% in the CG to top 5% immediately, i figured it would take a lot more. I'll typically pull in about half that per trip


Usually around 17-21m for 2 hrs which is when I need a break and repair.

AnfieldmarauderQuick question regarding inara's 'credit' section in my Commander profile - how does it work? Do/Can I transfer my in-game funds to this credit section? If not, which I think is the case, how do I get funds? I 'bought a Vulture' on here, and don't wanna get in to trouble because I was just trying to say that I own one In game and now igloos like I've spent cash I DONT HAVE! Please help Commanders


The credits is to state how much you got in-game you have to manually enter that, It doesn't matter how many ships you add to your fleet on here but it will count towards your credit assets as in how much you've ever had, but even that can be faulty so best to enter that manually too

Lol, your good. Website is not connected to game. It's more for you and your wing to know what you are bringing to the table.

Hi everyone! Is one of you using TouchDown by any chance? I want to use my Windows RT tablet to control functions, and it seems to work, the only issue is that the page (the whole thing is browser based) is not displayed correctly, and I'm completely useless when it comes to these things. Any ideas?

I would really love to see a white Anaconda livery... How come one of the most expensive ships in the game gets the colours from the Liberace house of cr@p. Let's get the Conda some decent paint jobs.

Us poor Xbox guys will settle for any color options we can get. The burnt orange HUD would also be lovely...were it some other color. Just saying.. we Xbox guys kinda feel like the illegitimate stepchild of Frontier. Throw us a friggin bone already! The orbit speed tease is just not even funny.

I don't want to insult anyone or start a religious debate on this, but just wanted to chime in with my opinion...

I've been an xbox gamer for years, having abandoned PC games long ago and opting for laptops that just didn't have the juice to run a decent game, until E:D which I got one I had a laptop that could run it reasonably well. What you're describing is part of the "PC Master Race" syndrome.

If you have, or plan to get a computer that can handle E:D, I would strongly suggest rebuying the game for PC and playing it on the PC platform. If you add a HOTAS controller, you'll never consider playing ED on the Xbox again. (IDK if a HOTAS exists for xbone, if so, it may be worth it)

Don't get me wrong, I love console games. I've got a 360 and a One and enjoy games like Skyrim, Portal, etc on them very much. But for the likes of ED, you're unfortunately getting a limited experience. It's partly the controller, I think - but also that the console is a more closed system - the HUD is changed by editing a configuration file, and I doubt any console, save maybe the Steam Piston, will ever allow that level of access to the underlying OS, even if the Xbone is Windows10 under the hood.

Thank you James. I do though think the game maps very well to the one controller. I also very much like sitting in front of a big screen TV. My PC has not had the Tony Stark treatment either, nor am I about to spend that type of money in a system that I won't be using as often. If I went PC I would probably be looking into Star Citizen anyway. As it is a complete game already. Don't get me wrong, Elite Dangerous is my favorite game bar nun. I just wish Frontier could include us console guys into your(pc guys) reindeer games.

Basically the explanation is covered here: reddit link

But to elaborate more on the cause here - you swap local game files with different ones and will see the white anaconda ingame, because the game can't interpret the new files. I put the files of the Imperial Cutter in the black friday anaconda folder and all Anacondas ingame that use the black friday skin will appear white for you only on the screen.

Disclaimer: I do not condone this procedure. Tinkering with game files is not allowed per se. I use it only to get screenshots and video footage for my roleplay ideas!

it looks fancy as fuck though, click an image for full 2560x1080 resolution!

I'd like to hear of an easy way also. I mapped the controls like my ship & they worked great but once I hopped back into my ship, all the controls were gone. I thought you could map your ship & SRV with the same keys. Any way to do that?
