I was just curious. If you borrow a name and the character, I thought LARP'ers try to look the part.
Also, have you ever met an actual criminal who is not a psycho? (The loser is usually hidden under few thick layers of BS)

Here is a funny story from RL. There was I guy who was really successful. Had everything he needed. Got bored, started moving drugs in massive quantity just to see how far can he get. Made and kept millions. Ended up in a slammer, of course. You know what was the hardest part in prison for him in those few years? Being surrounded by absolute morons and sociopaths aka total losers.
Looks like "Fortified" or better gets the 15% LYR discount. They're nice enough to put a little text saying you're getting the discount in the Outfitting screen

Well, thanks for sharing that completely irrelevant information. Have a nice day.

I got mine since August, and use her as passenger transport in Robigo. The Premium is fitted for hauling onboard my FC..

Well, FDev keep digging

I'm not in a rush to engineer my Mandalay Stellar, first I know too little about it to decide which modules to downgrade from A to D (Weight saving), so I'm gonna wait until more experienced (or adventurous) players publishes a viable build, then I still have to fine tune my Krait MK II...

The Krait MK II with her new weapon fit was a real surprise, after test in a High Conflict Zones, I'll have no hesitation to do it again, I finished with no structural damage and 49% shield without using a single Shield Cell.

Oh yeah, like collecting materials to buy a hammer and a welding kit to join few beams... wait... they are turning ED into a Minecraft... in space. Pleas NOOOOO!

Colonization is the closest thing to base building FDev could do without adding actual base building, I guess.

And it will be grindy af, count on that.

You've heard correctly.

You can search the nearest dealer following the search link... Type-8 Transporter

Is type-8 available for CR or I've heard correctly yesterday that it will become available in the end of November?

A. I don't need to be fighting Thargoids in order to have an interest in potential events surrounding the war narrative (as Cocijo launching mass counterattacks on the Bubble would be). I also have fought them in the past on this account but currently do not and will not again. Besides, evacuating people from attacked (or alerted) systems is one of the core gameplay loops for the war stuff.

B. Why is this even relevant? Sure, the namesake is a character from a different franchise (who is also not a psycho, thus you are showing your ignorance on the subject matter), but that doesn't mean they are automatically connected. The name has roleplay significance instead.


It didn't take them long to do a reset, that's for sure.

There was some stability issues with the connection to the Elite Dangerous Store.

From stock... a 3D Repair Limpet Controller...

I, seeing a Basilisk exploding into my face: "This is fine."

As I recall, you do not fight them and never have.
BTW, I looked up that name Kasumi Goto. As I understand, it's a psycho character from another game/universe but that's not important.
What's important, is... ummm.. why do you look nothing like the original one? Imposter?

I thought about buying the damn ManDelay but every second page shows: "We have encountered an error processing your request"
31 Oct 2024, 4:31pm
The Thargoids are also continuing to be lazy around their remaining Titan (so far). Well, I guess, they've started scouting one extra system compared to their usual efforts. Surely this will win them the war.
31 Oct 2024, 4:30pm
apparently from galnet video, by 'reasonable distance from inhabited systems', they may mean 'near by', like within expansion range (BGS thingy). Hope its not that case. Let players colonize Formidine Rift region or whatever they want as long there is inhibated system there.

One roll is one tonne, no matter if you get the cheapest 1 layer with Cheapo Finger Through or 4 layers with the Thargoid Bleach Wash blueprint.
The default and unremovable bonus is fresh pine smell by WunderBaum Fraction, of course.

Some server instability, impossible to go through elitedangerous.com/store/product/mandalay-stellar...

Problem solved, the ship should be in my hangars...
31 Oct 2024, 3:51pm
I was sitting in ShinDez (before being repeatedly kicked off) and it seems that there were no Type-8s for credits yet for some reason.

Never fly without rebuy and never play on update day.
31 Oct 2024, 3:48pm
That's odd. I still can't see any screenshots of Mandalays somewhere 50k ly away from the nearest ship dealer, with paint totally worn off, and also no absolutely meta builds with min-maxed everything including the optimal toilet paper roll size with which you have the best range and fuel efficiency. Perhaps, I should wait a couple hours more.
31 Oct 2024, 3:47pm
Mandalay is here, there are still some minor issues with the connection but one can access it or not???
31 Oct 2024, 3:32pm
I do use the Warthog, it has no centre on the throttle you can feel or hear. I use it the same way Indy already described, using a button to switch between forward or backward thrust.
31 Oct 2024, 3:04pm
The TFlight has the centering thing you're mentioning. When I used it, I quite liked that feature. However, it's lacking in the number of buttons.
I now use the T16000M as well, so I know what you're referring to with trying to use the throttle for both forward and backward movement. My workaround is to use the full throttle range as either forward or backward and then toggle whether I want forward or backward thrust.

I know that doesn't answer your question about the Warthog throttle, but maybe it will help in the interim with the throttle we both use.
