Elite: Game talk

ScubadogSo, I just watched the new Galnet article on the "test flight" for some new tech to deal with the caustic maelstrom environment. Their prototype tech: A HEATSINK. A stupid flipping heatsink. Oh, sure, they're SAYING it's LIKE a heatsink, in that it just "absorbs" the material and then you "expel" the cartridge. For lack of a better term, I'll call this a "Caustic Sink". Whatever, it's a stupid idea....UNLESS they ALSO develop a new armor that you have to use WITH the caustic sink. This new armor would be designed to absorb the caustic substance as it comes into contact with the skin of the ship and shunts it TO the caustic sink for ejection. This new armor would slowly degrade once you no longer have caustic sinks to eject the gathered material (not as quickly as other armor types, and possibly it's made of similar material as the anti-corrosion cargo modules).

THAT would be the one way to avoid constant eyerolling of this "new tech".


This is common FDev design. Caustic effect is canceled while the ammo of the module is in use.

Limited ammo + synthesis = new grind loop AKA gameplay

...and also we can see that 'spend as less effort as possible' development approach in action.

Why does it have to be so hard to get Guardian stuff, I’m finding it so frustratingly difficult to do these darn puzzles.

Hello,
I dont know if I descovered somthing big.. no one seams to talk about it and every time I asked in the past the answer was basacly NO !! Forum post, YT videos no one seems to know..

Can you use in game tools to find mining sell location or profitable trade routs? (And by profitable routs I mean 50k per ton profit)

The answer for me its YES and for the “actual inara market” I find beter results with my tecnique.

Before I tell I whant to see if realy no one noticed.

Not sure if I understand you. The market or use the tools ingame search depends of systems info that you was visited. Other apis (out of game) take info of all members that they was visited, more accurate technique, for this reason its recommended and easy-to-use, apis like inara or others. But... it depends of update time and another factor of demand, etc... sorry, if I not understand.

Are you trying to get the Ram Tah mission completed or do you just want to acquire guardian weapons and modules?

If it's the Ram Tah mission, I have no idea. If it's the latter, I do endorse the CMDR Exigeous tutorials as observed by Tigger.

If you need to discuss this, add me in-game (AKAArthur) and I'd be happy to answer any of the questions in relation to the latter and even go along with you (in say a Private Group) to acquire some of this Tech. You will need a ship with a decent jump range (and point defense) to start with. To get the base weapons, it'll take a couple of hours to acquire the blueprints, but once you've done it once, it's easier the second time.

Tell your ‘tecnique’ and we’ll tell you if it is new or big.

Am just trying to get the FSD booster. Trying to follow CMDR Exigeous tutorial but I keep losing my sense of direction on the site and I keep running out of time getting the columns powered up and knocking out the sentinels.

You have to know the exact floor plan of the guardian site you are at so you know where the columns are and how you could reach all of them by making a round trip.

IMO, Exigeous' tutorial does things in completely the wrong order for newbies, leading to time pressure, confusion and panic.

Do things in this order, and hopefully you'll find it easier:

1) Find and collect an Ancient Relic
2) Drive around the site, finding all the pylons, but do not power them up yet. Kill the sentinels when they appear.
3) Once all the pylons have risen from the ground, and you've killed any sentinels that are hanging around, start powering them up. This will start the timer. I'm not sure if any more sentinels appear at this stage, but you'll have a lot less to deal with while the timer is going.
4) Once you're all powered up, go and jettison the relic to bring up the orb, switch to turret and scan it to get the blueprint. Some more sentinels may spawn here, but focus on the blueprint first, then you can run back to your ship or fight. Either way, you've got the blueprint
