Rawnutake it to ground (port under attack) in the next Thargoid invasion wave.I don't see any ground ports under attack currently, but yeah, the servers are still shutdown so it might change.

They’re either doing additional work for the political pissing contest (in Elite), stuff so the servers are on fire less, or maybe they finally have stopped making the Thargoids sit around playing target practice for the obviously infallible humans.
But I don’t expect it to be the actually interesting thing, aka option 3.

RawnuThis is the build and, on paper, it actually looks quite awesome.Yeah, it looks very promising. I'd recommend installing a Caustic Sink, it makes life way easier, if choosing between it and the Xeno-Scanner, I'd rather go for the former. Though maybe you have a different approach. And why Tier 1 Shards? To keep that distributor from draining quickly?

Was thinking about the Caustic Sink as well, I usually run at least one of them to make life less stressful. With only 4 utility slots (as compared to the 6 on my PM2 I usually use) there's always a trade-off. Same goes due to the small distro. But the 2m*2s is also due to convergence: there are 2m on top and 2s on top, the other 2m are on the belly. I don't loose so much DPS and can keep the heat down and my distro up. I've also grown accustomed to have an AXMC (only medium available) for shooting scouts or hunters (especially if my modShards get screwed up).

Oh yes, it's in German. Everyone should know how to translate websites. Otherwise, natural sowing.

ThinderI can't believe we have yet another shutdown...
You must be new... wait, you are not. I thought it's common knowledge that they suck at testing and or migrating new versions to live, causing weeks and weeks of server problems... every single time.
Something is not right in their "dev to live" process.

No high gravity ‘fun’ this time around though.

I think many of you use EDSM as well as inara. I have a problem with the data update there. For example, visited systems are not taken into account and the travel log is not available. It is helpful to see where you have been to prevent unnecessary discovery flights.
Have any of you had this problem and do you know a solution?
Many thanks in advance and always fligh high

Hi, Ralph. Welcome!
I use EDSM as well. I have not encountered the issues you're describing; I quite enjoy the travel log/map features there. I recommend checking on your log upload process (confirming your API connection if you use a tool to do so or by manually uploading your logs to that tool). In any case, I'm not sure we should troubleshoot a different tool here (as opposed to just using/discussing it). Perhaps, if we do continue discussing it, we'd need to move this to another sub-forum (if Artie wants the conversation to continue here at all)?
You might find the EDCD Community Dev Discord helpful, especially the general-tools area, as it has channels for various tool support.

alcyone7Just managed to sneak in before the servers went offline (again) to find that player #1 in the PowerPlay 2.0 leadboard managed to acrue more than 1,000,000 merits in a week. So basically if they played 24/7, that equates to just under 100 merits per minute. How the hell is that possible?
These were the players who had to submit exobiology data on a large scale. FDEV actually wanted to reset the ranks.
The top player (top agent) in my power is level 128. I also see it this way, that it is actually impossible to level up that quickly.
For the discussions about the community, other stuff related to the game like astrophysics and so on please use the General talk thread.
What does belong here:
- Questions, answers, tips and guides about ship loadouts, game activities like exploration, mining, combat and similar things that directly relate to the gameplay.
- Game technical issues and problems, if you are looking for a help. For the bug reports please head to the official FD forum.
- Discussion about "official" events from GalNet and community goals.
- Discussing player actions and activities, general topics about Elite community and player events, topics related to the game but also real world (like astrophysics and similar). Please post these to the "General talk" thread instead.
- Any off topic discussion, please post this kind of stuff to the "Offtopic" thread.
