Who said I didn't see the humor? I find the whole exchange highly amusing.



As did others

But srsly though, the implications of the Cthulu mythos, the semantics of gaslighting, and whatever it was you were talking about aside, I came in here for a reason and StrikerWhat's-His-Face distracted me from my Purpose.

Anyone have a rough idea what the data consumption, on average, is while playing Elite? Say I got a 50 GB data limit per month on an internet plan, and I'm causing trouble in this galaxy 4 hours a night every night, anyone have an idea if that's going to be sufficient?

Activate your bandwith monitor?

You're going to have to spell this out Barney style.

Also keep in mind this story takes place in the Kingdom of Bahrain, so the internet is from a mobile wifi hotspot that's filled with data at what could be charitably called a convenience store, and instructions are written in Arabic.

Well, Elite has a bandwith monitor ingame if I'm correctly informed.
You could activate that and just fly around to see how much bandwith Elite uses up. Then extrapolate the approximate data usage etc.

CTRL B

Super useful for seeing if other CMDRs are in your instance

Will need to figure out how to activate that for PS4.

Apparently a bandwith monitor is accessible on PS4, but only at the main menu, not anywhere useful.

Anyone know if there is a quick way to send a Private Message to a whole wing in one go? Without the need to enter every commanders name, thanks

If you're sending the same message to the whole wing, you could just post it in the General Message section.

Is the Ctrl B option still working? I thought ‘beyond’ binned that?
28 Apr 2018, 10:51am
It was temporarily buggered. Has been working again for a bit, far as I know.

Hi Cmdr's.
I'm looking Cmdr's on ps4 but struggling at the moment.... Anyone looking to make a bit of money? Need a full wing.

Thank for your time

Do you have or can you get behind a personal router? Then watch those logs.
