Elite: General talk

02 Aug 2024, 3:42pm
The account was made like a week ago, I'm busy playing the game before I get sick of it again Even joined a nice squad since its so hard to find people in game... Easier than it was to fill up on all those anti-guardian immunity materials, holy moly just finding a good spot for those Revenant's was a trip, Hip 19091 had a nice planet with two military bases I flew back and forth at collecting those chips.

TrailerparkIf anyone knows some noobs that need some cash send them on horizons to farm cyclops in my crusader, they can fly the shard/plasma fighters, can take 3-5 cyclops per re-arm, bounty is raised back up to 8mill per kill(for me) like the old version now, ez money. Been out here in Asterope a week and barely seen a sole.



I'm nervous of anyone who has zilch in their profile. Paranoid>?

Some of them talks like experts in forum and know nothing about the subjects they write about. Useful.... To them.

Situation Update: I reached 54% to Combat Elite rank 1, did find a trick using my fighter: Send her to support another target without firing at it, generally, those targets don't come back to me and she contribute to another kill, the CZ furballs can last long....

Yeah, she's there, she was Elite before me, still at 10% wage and is very efficient.

At least you got your pilot to Elite. Mine was struck by the infamous “Forever Deadly” bug which immediately marked him as 100% of the way to Elite rank and it hasn’t budged since, despite me getting to it myself.

… why haven’t I gotten a new one to try and train up, well, he has the name of Jesus Kelly and I find that hilarious.

Situation Update:

I swapped the Corvette POWER DISTRIBUTOR Charge enhanced engineering XXXXX for Weapon focused XXXXX and FLOW CONTROL.

I noticed several times that I ran out of juice with my weapons during Combat in CZ, hopefully, I'll be able to use lasers and Multi-Cannons simultaneously without restriction, it just took me some time off the CZs.

In the bubble, the Engineers blueprints are limited to XXX for the Power Distributor, but I got one XXXXX from Etienne Dorn ( LOS) and it shows when I need it.

I'll take a break when I reach 55% to Combat Elite Rank 1. Exploration?

Anyway, I can't wait for the Type 8, I'm gonna need more materials to engineer her but it will be fun, no doubt.

You don't have the Dweller unlocked? He does power distributor engineering to grade 5.

i just notice python mk2 has really poopy power distributor and i need to use guardian shotguns for that and 'efficient' modification builds. What the hell they were smoking this time?

The best guess I have is not making the FDL and/or Mamba completely irrelevant to PvP dealings. Because those exist in the game too.

Dont go for capacity but recharge rate. First thing learned in anti xeno builds school

I know basics in anti xeno stuff and i usually mess around stuff for my preferences. Apprently python mk2's distro recharges quick with non engineering which suprised me. Will replace my ax corvette tank hull having shield to bait lighthing strikes and ram hydra's shield during fight on ground/space station? Defetly not. Not enough optional internals. Need to rely on ax stuff i learned in the past.

I need 'try mode' to test things out.

Same, AXI give give me some good basics, actualy G5 dirty thrusters (I never was interested in engineering), G4 recharge distro and Modshards-which I use even against normal ships. Not as effective as engineered plasma accels or frag cannons but definetly fun. And also lo-cost ammo. And maybe I will even go to Guardians again to get mats for ModChargers

I bought two (Grey and special livery), sold one, the idea is support for the developers, they put the effort and need dosh to keep developing the game, and seriously the price is a fraction of what cost a premium vehicle or module in other games, I'll do the same with the Type 8...


Well, I do not support trash work. FDev are done nothing to improve the game actually.... See they stopped counting patches after 18+ ... 3 years later Odyssey is full of bugs and performance issues. Everything they do is to do the least possible amount of work while seemingly doing what players are wanting.

I will not comment type8 for now, maybe after 3 months ... if ever.

Are you referring to to some F2P games pricing, like wargaming's ?

War Gaming, DCS and some other where a vehicle cost you 60 box, that's 2 times to 3 times more when you buy the cheap ones.

Bugs? Try Star Citizen, if you're not buying, you'll lose everything you gain in game at every update... And unless you play with a PII, this game is actually smooth as a baby's butt.

To finish, remember that the developers team have been shrank? As for the work put into the ships, I worked in the industry as a 3D CG Tech, I don't call this trash at all, because I know what it takes to put those together, from my PoV It's perhaps the best in the genre, though I don't know about the footie part of it but I didn't sign up for it so I couldn't care less.

People got what they asked for, especially because they play the game for free with free ARX on top.

One good thing is it doesnt heat up and eats low fuel during sco in C version. its made for that which can be useful for some bgs stuff.

Can you please load internals with fuel tanks and try Hutton run? This could be Dark Horse...
