Surely invigorating the player base is a good thing?[/quote]


https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dog%27s_bollocks — I think Sir Sprockett used this British idiom in a positive sense. [/quote]


indeed I meant the British term. Now listening the FDEV stream and basically it is up to the player base and not FDEV, to stop the THargoids otherwise the Thardoids will burn the bubble. FDEV has said as much - fight or die (feeling very Dr Stangelove)

interesting the Thargoid attack is AI generated and not guided by FDEV - this is a real high risk strategy from FDEV... We could easily loose the bubble if we are not careful

Bugs or Not - BALLsey

@artie will Inara be able to direct Pilots focus on system that we (humanity) are collectively trying to regain or fight off Thargoid control?

It was said on the fdevs' stream today that that attack can completely blackout the Bubble and those who are thinking that Colonia is a safe heaven are up for a surprise

Indeed - especially when looking at the AI capabilities of NPCs in the game lol. Let it rip I say, bubble's been in need for a good ruffling of feathers for a long time

(you can tell I'm not a BGS player - and I did take issue in the past with the larger player factions taking over systems like the plague... shame that Colonia won't be affected... for now)

Any fix for mission boards giving endless stand by? We were doing wing mining for money and half the group cant access mission boards now.

You will need fuel scoop

I tried rescue missions but I had to travel 120+ ly to carry those 140 poor souls to a rescue ship. ....They paid me 20 mil though.

I have enough fuel for the route from HIP 23716 to Tarach Tor, I think then I’ll change the shield to a cabin, and put the shield in a couple of classes lower (although I generally doubt it is necessary, at least now)

BTW, if you want to see the new interceptor:
Go to Thargoids Alert system and look for NHSS threat level 4. It comes, it does its thing and then leaves. If you kill it - 50mil.

EpisparhIt is good but all old bugs still standing, performance is still BS and instancing is garbage(I had so many broken instances today)

I’m not having any problems with it and I’m not running a high end PC.

EpisparhIf you have 60fps it is fine. Most screens cannot go higher than 60-144hz. Depending on your screen you may not actually benefit from higher fps.


I am using DELL 27' alienware monitor, it delivers 240 HZ natively and everything set to run in ultra. The drop is huge: with normal it is 103-104, with FPS upscaling it is 180 for the same view inside of the station.

Hello Shg56,

I don’t know if you have found a solution, but CMDR Exigeous did a good video on all things graphics settings. https://youtu.be/G7efYzpquIs

When I was running Odyssey on a 7 year old system (Alienware 17 laptop medium graphics not ultra) I turned off the laptop screen (60hz) and output via hdmi to a 144hz monitor. I tried the various upscaling settings too but gave up with them. I found turning off the ambient occlusion and restricting monitor in Elite’s settings to 144hz helped the most for frame rate. Flying in space was ok (80fps in 1920x1080p) on foot is not good with this equipment. Could try playing with the monitor hz?

Now running in ultra, 4k, 3080ti, DDR5 ram, and 12th generation processor. I recently adjusted the overclocking on the processor and the result was surprising.. overclocking changed from 4.9 ghz the upto max 5.4 ghz and although the processor only does a tiny bit and the graphics card does the bulk of the work the the temperature of the whole system dropped from 78 degrees to between 52 and 62 degrees. Measured with MSI Afterburner. The power usage decreased significantly too (a bonus). So the processor is no longer holding back the graphics card and the 2 are in sync. FPS is solid 120.

I hope you find a fix.

Does anyone knows where to buy the pre-engineer heatsink?

Can't wait for the bugs to overrun the newbie zone.

Regarding Colonia, it is now much easier to find for the bugs since we just built the Colonia Bridge. All they need to do is follow the trail of bread crumbs!
