EpisparhI will probably buy one but not engineering it for sure


I must have missed where the sale is....I have an almost fully engineered T-10 but wouldn't mind stripping modules, selling it and buying a cheaper one for the lower rebuy cost....

T9 FTW. Don't need anything else!

I've just started playing this week, and I have some questions about the roles on Inara. Most of them seem like they correspond to stuff you can do in-game (even if very loosely) or are RP-related, but what about lawyer? Is there any in-game stuff where you can be a "lawyer"? Is there any player-to-player interaction where some players have appointed themselves lawyer? Or it purely RP?

Also, the bottom set looks like they correspond to the powers. I've just started reading about the lore and such, and some of them are easy to tell which role goes with which (e.g. EGP Operative is Yuri Grom) but what about "Utopian overseer" or "Shield of justice"?

Should be -30% everywhere and most likely with additional -10% in Shinrarta and -15% in LYR space.

I plan to check this later.

Well, no lawyers role apart from RP. Same goes with reporter etc.

And you are correct the other's are purely power play roles

Utopian overseer - PRANAV ANTAL supporter
Shield of Justice - ARISSA LAVIGNY-DUVAL supporter

I guess if you support one of those you will know.

In fact Journalist can fall into hybrid roles too, since there is not really a mechanic but rather the possibility to record videos from events, do screenshots of said events or try to talk with players on why they support X or Y during CG. Plus, there are players who are working for Sagittarius Eye: a professional Elite: Dangerous magazine with strong in-character approach.

Wait, the Lakon sale also consists of Type-9? Huh. Didn't know that. I wanted to get Type-10 because it feels "more right" to get it for Type-9's price.

Still, it's three times better discount that Shinrarta can offer.

Aleksander MajjamI think once we stop dancing 'round and 'round here and realize that the people against ganking aren't against PvP, then maybe we can get some meaningful points coming across other than PvP is useless.




What's the point?

No one will ever convince you otherwise.

Aleksander Majjam
PvP in ED is a damn joke and serves no other purpose except to just shoot shit when you're bored, and there are obviously a lot of bored people in this game. No one will ever convince me otherwise.

What point are you trying to make? No one will convince me that PvP plays a vital role in ED. Currently, it doesn't. It is a joke. There could be a discussion on how to improve it for people on both sides of the fence (that I would happily consider), but we seem to be stuck on, "Blah. Gankers suck." vs "LoLRoTF, you consented. It doesn't need to change. Suck it up."

Hell, even the statistics from the video posted sheds light that most people just want to grief others and not engage in a PvP fight where they have to defend themselves or even try to pick a fair fight. Then there's complaints at wanting to tie the game's mechanics to PvP because BGS can be done in Solo. Well, the majority of gank PvP drives people to Solo, much like people here telling others to play Solo if they've got a problem with it. You don't offer suggestions or solutions as to why people should even try PvP other than, "It's fun shooting people. It's fun being shot at. Button make pew."

I'm sure if the PvP'rs had it their way, Solo and PG wouldn't even exist and the 1000 average players for the month would be 999 seal clubbers avoiding each other and looking for that 1 new CMDR to pewpew.


I hear this narrative a lot from people outside the PvP community. Gankers have no problem with ganking each other.

Wait, so is "federal agent" the same one for Winters and Hudson? Because there's only 10 bottom-of-the-list roles in Inara, but 11 powers.

I also see while searching for things that "Shield of Justice" is the name of ALD's NPC ships. Is there a wiki entry with that info somewhere? Because I probably wouldn't have had the question in the first place if I had played the game for a little longer if the power NPC group names were listed on the power pages.

Well, for first question you can ask our host. ( Artie, I summon thee! )

And for the wiki - I do not think so. At least I have tried a search before I gave my previous answer with the idea to provide you with a link.
08 Dec 2020, 11:05pm
Yes, I believe Hudson and Winters are both using Federal agents.
Those roles are taken from Powerplay power NPC names, but I do not remember where and how I have collected it, it's quite a long time.
