On the Inara ranking and statistics, in the statistics area, there should be a section that shows In-game and Inara activity within 24-hour and 1-week numbers total.

It's unlikely. As I mentioned in another thread some time ago, people will tend to use it as a "reference" for made-up numbers about the overall game population, etc. so I do not think it's a good idea.

BNSF1995Here's something I don't get:

I often get interdicted and destroyed while cruising in Sol by other players (hell, last night, I got destroyed at Daedalus, and after the rebuy, I was called a "Fedneck"). 99% of the time, it's for Powerplay.

Have these people not gotten the memo that FDev removed the ability to get Merits from PvP combat in 2017 or so? Or are they just assholes?


Well... That's an awful lot of peace to process. Way too much to my liking, and since humble is my middle name i'm satisfied with less of these.

So been playing ED since 2016, initially on console....then jumped to PC when Odyssey was announced (Alpha version and all the pain that bought)

Thankfully , Odyssey has had a good number of improvements (even though I don't really get my legs out)

My concern (as someone that loves this game) is that wtih the damage caused by the screwed up Odyssey release, the fact that everything is Thargoid focused atm (pew pew is not really my thing), and the fact that U16 doesn't really offer anything to those players who want something other than combat.....is the writing on the wall for ED? (I really hope not, I feel there is so much more they can do with the title)

Just a minor annoyance, but recently when I target a planet, choose supercruise and orbit, then step away for a few minutes, I am not in orbit, but have been dropped out of supercruise for approaching too fast. Yeah, it is only 1-2% damage, but it seems to be happening more often.

Bug or not bug, I don't think it's a good idea to leave your ship in supercruise or just logged in if you has anything more serious to do, as filling a glass of water. You never know... PC or NPC or something like this can happen anytime. So do the smart thing and as a bare minimum drop out by yourself, or exit to main menu.

Like you say, it is mostly stepping away to do something minor while traveling. Not too worried about getting jumped. I mostly explore outside the bubble. Unless I am doing missions, I very rarely have anything valuable in the cargo. And as for other players, I tend to hang around mostly in closed group or solo mode whenever I want to eliminate the possibility of being ganked.

The funny part of it you just said yourself why you should be more careful because you are all by yourself without wing man fleet
co pilot support help far from all base or anything else 10 thousands lightyears out of the bubble. So if something goes sideways?
You are in big trouble, and you can only rely to yourself.

I see your point, but it has been my experience that I have never once been jumped by any random NPC when more than 15k or 20K light years from "civilization." Plus, other players are not a problem in solo mode. If anything, I have to worry more about getting too close to a white dwarf or black hole, or exiting frame space right between two close stars. Like I said, this bug (or something I am doing) causing the ship to sometimes not go into orbit around a planet is, at best, a minor annoyance with the 1-2% damage it does.

if you see my point than what are you talking on? You don't have to explain yourself to me, this is not an interrogation.

Am having similar problem but it is not getting passed load screen. Have you had any luck with it or anything from fdev?

I had to reinstall to get the game to work

It will be a minute they said. Nope, still can't connect. Resetting routers and restarting my PC won't help either.
Note; Before server update i had to close ED from task manager since it's stuck in black screen when i tired to quit the game.
