KnightTemplarso i ive joined how does the 'My Ranks and Credits' etc work




What platform do you play on?  PC or console?



PC, can i export my ships etc from ED


You can either upload your journal file (my fleet, my credits and others have the link) at the end of each session or use EDMC with the EDMC-Inara plugin (EDMC might support it without the plugin now) while playing to update your profile.  This will only update things changed or used that session and won't include engineer modifications to your ships. Forget to upload the journal you ranked up in? You'll have to manually set it or wait until the next rank.

Edited for clarity.

Hi there guys.

I have a question that will probably only be aimed at the more tech savvy of the bunch. It's regarding Discord on mobile. I'll put a Tl;Dr at the bottom but in case there's an important detail here's the full story.

So as many of you know, I'm new here. Got to chatting to a lot of people and eventually got directed to the Discord. I signed up, initially on computer, but was informed of a Mobile app too. I was quite content with using my computer, even if it is shared within my household, so never bothered with it. Until I was away from home for a night.

Decided then, to download the app before I left home. But I never logged in to it until today, which is where my issue is. Technically I still haven't logged in to my account on the app because I get a notification saying "New location/device detection" pop up. Which is fair enough, and it directed me to my emails to verify it.

Trouble is, my email says I tried to log in from 'Paddington, England' yet the furthest south I went was 'Glasgow, Scotland' and even then, I didn't try to log in until I was easily around 50-100 miles North of that. So now I'm worried, obviously, but confused also.

My question (and the Tl;Dr) is; Does using 4G sometimes change the location of the login by such a drastic amount, or should I be changing my Password (Already done but still can't get access to the app)? Perhaps there's something else I'm missing?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!! o7 x

Try re sending the verification email. If it's from the same place, then it's probably your data. If you want, change your password after you login.

Don't worry, it is pretty common for the mobile networks that the location by IP is reported by geoIP services as a distant city.

4G can jump around quite a bit in terms of where the login is detected. When I first logged on with the app it said the login was from Pennsylvania, and I can safely say that is not where I am. You shouldn't have to worry.

Ace, thank you guys!

I'm logged in now, but changed my password AGAIN to be sure.

See you on there o7 x

Geolocation by IP doesn't tell you where the IP lives, it'll tell you where the purchaser (your ISP) is located. As long as it's your IP address at the time, you're fine.

i have landed at Wohler Station and it is in Lockdown but no reason as to why any ideas. the only ship i have there is a Dolphin to carry on passenger missions.

Hey Guys, quick question about taking over a system etc? I cant find anything online about how to deal with a situation that we are in. We raised our influence, but it went past the controlling factions with no war/election?? they were in a war in another system, so thats that lesson learned. So we went over and finished that war for them, but now we are way above them in influence and still no pending takeover?? Have i missed something?
I thought you had to be the same influence or over 60%?

It's the cross-point. You'll need to lap again. crossing up or down to "Trigger".

One way systems go into lock down is through killing system authority ships. The way to get the system out of lock down is to bounty hunt or wait.

Bounty hunting in a Dolphin is something I would not be eager to try. If there is a ship yard you could buy a ship to bounty hunt with. Or just do passengers from another system.
