Shg56Got it S star is not scoopable as per your KGB statements. Though it would look like most of you have never seen one, makes me feel sad.


You will see them actually quite often while exploring, a red glowing ball, i see 2 or 3 while i am heading to the crystal shards, depends on your route and how far you are traveling.

NerdicusQuick question, are smuggling mission (at distant bases) still a money maker in ED? Actually starting to make some OK money, and looking to start the one thing I truly enjoyed in the old days.


TBH not really. It's more a BGS mechanic than a profit maker.

Looks like some Npcs behave like kamikazes when they're losing. No fight for another day, then. Lessons of Elite fighting.

Yeah. It's rather comically sad sometimes. Can't count how many times I'd take a ship like my Cutter or Corvette into a CZ/HasRes and watch a small hostile NPC decide to ram me only for it to explode after bouncing off my shields.

Once you get your engineering down, nothing in Elite ever changes as far as new content, so the CG's are where the action is. But the problem with relying on CG's for entertainment is that sometimes that don't have them. And some of them are for downright beginners. Thank God they removed building from Fortnite so I have something really cool to far back on. I feel more and more during these gaps in activity that I might not play Elite anymore. Just feels so stale these days. Now if you will kindly excuse me, I see some naughty children running around tilted towers in a tank that I need to dispatch with a battle bus.

Yeah, lately it's been getting more difficult to bring myself to play ED on my own volition. WarThunder and World of Warships have been my alternates lately.

KurakilToo bad the iridescent paint jobs are so expensive. I like two of them and I have 38 ships. :sigh:

Buy ARX!

Wish I could do that using in-game credits. Nothing else to spend them on.

Let them have their crapships! Those dumb pieces of metal that can't turn, require 15 minutes to jump, full of weak spots, with useless weapons, without docking capability, and with enormous rebuy/repair costs!

How about you go to first capital ship and attack it to verify that statement? Not in Conflict zone but in its own instance.

They don't have to be terrible...... I don't see why they couldn't be implemented in a way that makes them reasonably usable and not either useless or overpowered.
