Skaven JerHi commanders

I've been playing on and off (mostly off) for about 5 years and now i'm on again.

A few things i'm wondering about



What happens when your ship gets destroyed while your in your rover? ( this is my current stuation due to ignorance,lack of even the most basic research and gullibilty/misunderstanding basically my own stupid fault although the view of 2 thargoids flying across the night sky whilst another roots among the ruins and i hide in an abandoned building is spectacular)


This has happened to me but as I'm in Odyssey all I had to do was summon an Apex taxi, then go through the usual rebuy process at the local space station. Not that this will help in your case, I would be curious to know how that works out for you 07

7a multi purpose limpet controller - how do you get a 2nd repair limpet to work on your ship, every time i do this the first one is destroyed?




You can only have one limpet active on one ship at any one time. You can't therefore have two limpets repairing your ship at the same time. You can repair your own ship and another with the second, but the only benefit is the amount of repair you can get from a Class 7.

I thought so thanks for confirming

The new (for me) odyssey FSS planetary scan (gives you the blue overlay on the planet) in theory i know how it's supposed to work (youtube vids) but after i've scanned the planet and got down to the planet (not landed just hovering) i have the blue overlay but i don't have the filter that allows you filter what you want eg braintrees,crystal shards, etc. I guess there must be a keybind ? or i'm missing something obvious.




You should be able to use a bind in FSS to see if there are biologicals and geologicals on the planet you've scanned. If there are none of either, you won't get the option.

There are braintrees on the planet (no other geos or bios) it's my favourite place for gathering Technetium,selenium and Niobium so i know it pretty well and i can't see a keybind in the menu. I'll have another look in the menu. ( i recently spent the best part of a week messing around with the SRV driving controls getting the damned thing driveable i think if i have to mess around in the controls menu again it will lead to another break from Elite)

Not sure I can remember this happening to me so I'm not sure.

Yeah no taxi for me. I may as well fill up on Antimony,Ruthenium and Tellurian since this is the reason i'm in this predicament ( i checked on inara to make sure the stuff i,m collecting is registering) then i'll probably have to suicide the SRV, i'll let you know what i do and what happens

SteveS490Sorry ive been gone a bit im on xbox and inara is no longer tracking my progress? Did that go along with Frontiers support for console ED?



ED 3.8 (Console and Legacy PC clients) are no longer developed and the universe is split from the Live client (EDO/EDH 4.0).
Logically, third party tools, such as Inara and EDDB, ditched the legacy mode too.


Thanks but sad to hear I loved tracking my income and achievements on here. Elite universe on console gets ever darker.

As far as I am aware you cannot have multiple repair limpets active even from multiple controllers.

The filters work only when in DSS mode. If you still cannot see the keys go to Setting - Ship Controls - Detailed Surface Scanner and set keys for Previous/Next filter

If you have only EDH and your ship get destroyed your only option is self-destruct.

Thanks for the Feedback Commanders

I'll have another look at the FSS/DSS keybindings before i do anymore farming (hopefully not for a very long time)

Episparh was right about having to self destruct. What did surprise me was after paying the rebuy i restarted at my " Home Base" i don't belong to any wings or factions etc i just have a place where i keep most of my ships ( for Silver Taffer) I thought i would restart at the nearest station.

Thanks Cmdr Skaven Jer 07
I was hoping you may find a way without self destruction, but at least you ended up back home - if a little lighter in the pocket

Almost three months without ED, and now I'm starting to feel the itch again.

Did anything interesting happen while I was away?

A bunch of quite predictable plot 'twists'. Like... We knew Salivation won't go that easily.

Yeah, totally not surprised by that one. Someone at Frontier played Cyberpunk and klepped the idea of the relic chip.

3 months, you say? Well, there are new optional modules that let you fit more AX weapons on your ship (at the cost of increased power draw, of course), we’ve got a new xeno-scanner that is actually usable under combat conditions (and, predictably, draws a lot more power than the old one), and oh, there’s also a new tech-broker module to grind for if you fancy visiting the Maelstroms.

Or like the return of Aegis...

I am pretty sure the idea has been around in sci-fi long before Cyberpunk.

Yes, but not recently, except in that game. The timing is suspicious.

I'd love to see more Guardian involvement. There's still the unexplored story of the Guardian AI that might be hiding somewhere.

I love how they are just dropping that the Caine-massey ceo was killed on the news feed like its just, in other news
We know a lots going on in the world but maybe if we slip this headline in nobody will pay attention to it

I have no idea. Logged in recently to check some setting to answer someone here and then logoff.

But from the posts above I see nothing changed. Just the usual non-sense while frontier develop more grind ... ops gameplay.

I wouldn't call it suspicious either.

Transferring one's consciousness really is one of the oldest tropes in the book, and it's been a little over two years since Cyberpunk released. I don't know about you, but I struggle to call that "recent".
