Elite: Game talk

Sometimes I do wonder who those CMDRs are that park their carriers at Beagle Point or even in the middle of nowhere.

It's funny that FDev made a memorial for all the ganked DBXes.

I guess most of them are just good samaritans for the explorers but some of them could be delivery vessels for gankers when I spotted FDLs in traffic report at beagle point.

Errrm... Maybe those were exploration FDLs?

Yeah, I guess it could happen too, some cmdrs sworn to fly only sidewinders...

And don't forget, this Fer-de-Lance is in the top 1% of all weird messed up exploration vessels out there.

[quote=Episparh][quote=Quillmonkey]The vette is the go-to lazy combateer. Used for massacre stacks when you don't want to have to think too much. Not much fun but gets the job done.
FAS and Gunship are decent settlement missilers and decent hull tanks for their size but their agility is not great.

RE Fed ships v the rest Thankyou everyone

Descartes, just keep in mind that FAS is very agile ship as the quoted message is misleading. FAS is as very agile ship - as fast as FDL and as nimble as Chieftain.

Regarding preventing the launcher from loading VR mode: the /novr flag appended to the run line of a Launcher Shortcut works for me, although I do not use the Steam launcher. IIRC there is an 'add run line modifier' option somewhere in the Steam game launch settings you might be able to add /novr to. Maybe that'll work.

Re: 'playing in solo = fail' bs: One of the reasons to be out there exploring in the middle of nowhere is so you can take purty screenshots. You cannot take HiRes screenshots in Open/PG so Solo mode is you're only choice. Also, some might like the solitude so Solo Mode just seems the obvious choice there too.

I took liberty to look at your Marshmallow and that is the FDL explorer are you talking about? :-)))

Exactly!

I'm replacing SCBs with Tier 4 Scoop and Fuel Tank and exploring stuff!

p.s. But, yeah, still can't reach places that require larger jump range. But next time I'll take the carrier with me to cover those long stretches.

It looks more like a bird of prey. Team her with your carrier and go wild harassing exploration tin cans.

Ah, what's so interesting in harassing tin cans... I'm going to refit her for AX combat soon. Just have to recover from a goddamn flu and finish the mercenary rank grind.

Is anyone in odyssey having an issue with limpets not sowing up on the radar?
