(Wettoast) Wanda FersegiAlso, did the deployment of the mycoid require a human pilot ? Was this task too complicated for an AI or drone pilot ? There's not much of a risk of a drone going whistleblower on you if your concern is never being discovered . Or there was a perfectly valid reason and I missed it and I'm being a moron .


Look around in history. Look around today.

What do you do when you have too much of something? It's worth decreases.

Same goes for human lives. Specially when you've crossed a certain immoral threshold.

It's a bit frustrating that the folks at Frontier have been largely silent on the next update (e.g., fixes) for ED. It seems like the update for consoles came out quickly (though I know that was largely to support the Xbox One X and addition 4K support). They keep saying they're working on it, but a couple of the bugs really have become annoying, particularly the Incoming Message display corruption. I realize they're release something when it's ready, but more information about where they're at with this would be nice. Is that unreasonable?

It's not unreasonable, but neither is it standard practice to highlight upcoming bugfixes.

New features are what will grab the spotlight, and these are being discussed, with player's input, on the ED forums.

Very true. I'm all for the new features, as long as existing ones are kept working smoothly.

LamblamoOddly enough my lvl 4 reinforced was and still is better than any lvl 5 role I've had-Can't tell if luck or lack of. But reinforced.

Boosters I use a couple heavy duty and a resistance augmented one with another thermal resistance booster. The rest are heavy duty. Up you how many you go for based on the next thing.

Heat sinks, I usually have 2/3 on board depending what im doing. PVE it would be just one or two. These are to use when you want to launch two shield cell banks and recover quickly but not get too hot.



Shield Cell Banks: I use 2x7A-2x6A-2x4A all on the same ship but with only two active at a time chosen to reduce heat build up.
So I use a 7A and also a 4A in conjunction with a heat sink. Takes me to 120degrees but nothing too bad with the heat sink. Once you run out, you change which ones you have active.

It's all up to you though but I would just say that this kind of build has a "just in case of pirate" element built into it. Made to last.

Not sayin my way is better by any means, it's all about trying different things but this works nicely for me.

Thanks for the feedback/information! I'm tempted to switch to bio-weave now!



I was doing some messing around with those shields the other day. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to use thermal resistance modification of the bi-weave shield and then drop the thermal resistance shield booster for a heavy duty shield booster. Essentially giving you the same stats, except without the negative stats applied to regeneration that the heavy duty shield modification gives you?


Hehe maybe man. Still not had to switch out but will try one day im sure.

If mycoid is off the table and immoral organizations making a mockery of human life are as well, then maybe we can show the thargoids a creature so horrid it would drive them back to their homeworld forever . By that, I mean this thing ....


They wouldn't dare leave their hives after 5 minutes around this ....thing....

I think we all can agree on what needs to happen with that.

So currently been sat doing some passenger runs from Upsillon Aquarii to LTT 9360 and noticed in open play there are a few unfriendly CMDRs trying to put a stop to us earning some CR by interdicting and attacking us noble CMDRs be on the look out. Myself and a fellow wing member CMDR Jipsee have been patrolling to keep them off those of us who want to secure our passenger drop offs. Any assistance is welcome to try and eliminate these players. Current wing is myself and Jipsee both in Condas both with crew members. Perps wing is CMDR CPT_RETHEK (anaconda), CMDR Attila Papp Jr (python) and an unknown CMDR in a fed dropship, heavily armed and shielded but their hulls are like butter. Beware Scramble Spectrum experimental burst lasers equipped on python and anaconda.

Sorry, no can do. This ol' geezer is quite vital to his current Wing, and he's not up for rent or sale




Such a sensitive lad. Wasn't gonna rent him or buy him, dah-ling. He'd fit right in here is all I'm sayin'... Plus I was just joshing.



All good

Also, this is part of my history here...



One of the greats.

Operation BrownOut

Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to destabilize high-traffic systems and introduce chaos to the human bubble.

Targets: Shinrarta Dezhra, Sol, Maia, Upsilon Aquarii, Deciat, Rhea, Cubeo, Jonai, Ceos.

Instruction: Begin hauling Thargoid Sensors (UAs) and illicit cargo (where able) into all major hubs in the target systems.

Mission Completion: Lockdown and end services in a minimum of 4 of the listed systems.

Points for killing Cmdrs are awarded, winner doesn't get a Type-9 full of Biowaste. Share your pics and victories with #[OBRO]. Let's burn this galaxy down.

Happy Hunting!

why playing on console their are times where you feel like you are seprate from the community? With things like the distant world's expedition and the like. Is that something that happens on console or just with PC players

DWE2 is happening late next year, and I imagine there'll be a contingent of participants on the consoles as well.
