Anna VreizhHello commanders,
I don't understand one thing about PowerPlay 2.0...
For example, if I join a power that has pledged allegiance to the alliance (say, Edmund Mahon), will the other powers that pledged allegiance to the alliance be my enemies? (Nakato Kaine for example)


It's getting harder to keep clear from this PP nonsense. One can always leave The Bubble and its desperate pissing contests behind but I still need some engineering done and that again, requires earning brownie points to unlock more competent ones.

If you are worried about overheating and power draw, keep the 4A Powerplant.



I must be missing something... this is literally an empty box. O_o

What are the chances of playing today? Or is it better to do it tomorrow, since the servers won't work today?

Timely. Seems like I broke one of my sticks bashing Thargoids with it, lol.

... you're not, this is actually what some people fly to "explore". I don't think it's exploring much when you have a paper plane that can only fly around, scan and land. At least mine has SRVs.

... actually, not even scan. Unless the omission of the surface scanner is not intended in that link.

Mandalay Explorer - Perhaps this option is the most optimal for research? Or is there something else that can be corrected here?

I have builds for both types of exploration, not to mention ships for other purposes with long jump ranges. I quite enjoy my extreme jump Anaconda build. It certainly is paper, but it is a lot of fun to go really far in a short time with it. That build can't do anything other than long jump space exploration (i.e. no surface stuff). However, as I said, it's still fun, especially in VR.

My more balanced builds are great around the Bubble. My old AspX could do various tasks, including surface stuff, and had/has a resting jump range of around 70 Ly. My Mandalay build will be even better with various tasks and will likely have around 75 Ly, even with better weapons and shields.

I use my "Vastbound" (Anaconda) to "get there fast with fewer jumps", then order whatever ships to the station and wait for the NPCs to bring it to me.
Now, having the FC cuts that need/use out a lot, but I'll likely still use the Vastbound (or some other "paper" build) to get to far away destinations, as it is more fun game-time (3ish hours) then doing slow FC jumps for days.

All in all, it's just another way to play. And, for my part, I like to play all ways.

Valorian Axten...

The only 3rd party thing I use is EDDiscovery, and I use the portable release and just run it in my ED proton instance:


$ protontricks-launch --appid 359320 EDDiscovery.exe


But anybody could just as easily add it in Steam as a "non-steam game" and launch it that way, I don't see why it wouldn't work?

I think the regedit stuff for HOTAS is the most complicated part, but besides that it all just works.


Found it! Lets see will it actually work.

I have one LY more AND not flying a paper build. Check this one out, maybe it’s something for you?

ШамбалоидMandalay Explorer - Возможно, этот вариант наиболее оптимален для исследования? Или тут еще что-то можно подправить?


У меня есть еще один LY И не летающая бумажная сборка. Посмотрите на это , может быть, это что-то для вас?

That's not bad either

No, it wont. Searched more about EDDiscovery and it's not working with Wine or anything else. NP. Deleted.

Sounds like the servers are back up. Only mentioning it here, since others brought it up earlier.
Looks like they notified via messages in the official Discord and the Forums.

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it for anyone checking here.
