Elite: Game talk

First being: has anyone messed around with the multi-crew function they added? I tried it today as a gunner on a friend's boat and could not for the life of either of us figure out how to get me to have actual control of the turrets.
I could set them on the fire groups to a mapping of what I'm assuming was a G (I'd guess for gunner but who knows) and it didn't give me control of anything. At one point it lagged me into the veiw from the helm, and gave me cannon tracking crosshair and the missile lock visual/sounds but I still could not fire either.

Danilson1009I have used the ship finder with this website looking for the krait mkII and it does not work. Spending over an hour using the systems this website says the krait exist and not once is it there.. So annoying
I don't see in your profile what version your running. The Krait MKII by availability, is Horizons only. Hopefully that is the reason.
Inara has been very reliable in that and other regards. I've never had a problem finding what I'm looking for. Good luck CMDR.

Just tried and seems to be working for me. Doesn't appear to be account related either as I was able to search and find it while logged out as well.

HorzaJust got a chieftain,it needs quite a bit of work but I reckon it will be good
its very much a brick IMHO but yeah a bit of engineering and it will do beautifully. The big internals are great too

NAJ3HEREHow do I learn not to think I can shoot my way out of trouble. I have major issues thinking as my my shield disappears and my hull disintegrates my lasers will be my saviour. Is there a get out of jail card I can use as my brain tells me its all ok, or is this behaviour normal.......
hahaha I think we all suffer from that. One good thing to do is put 4 in systems (to get back your shield asap) and 2 in engines and nothing in weapons, restract hardpoints and boost away so you can jump away from the fight. Thats more of a Get out of Jail sequence but it works

A lot of it is going to be exposing yourself to that kind of situation in order to train yourself how to react to it efficiently. There are also things such as VoiceAttack which you can use to create macros which combine commands into a sequence. I use this along with HCS Voicepacks Singularity, so I can say something like, "Defense Protocol Alpha" and it will retract hardpoints, make pips to systems, and start charging FSD.

NAJ3HEREGetting the local cops to fight for you is kinda embarrassing when all else has failed too. Is there a knack to running away?
Yes, as mentioned, if you put everything in systems to keep your shield up (so that they cant kill your powerplant, thrusters or FSD) and 2 pins in Engines so you can boost out, you can almost always escape as you dodge around and boost till your FSD charges up to full. Even when mag-locked with a Conda i've found this to work well, and I was flying my Viper then doing courior missions
