Kari KerenskiStay inflexible and struggle with it, then.

Your choice.



So I am getting punished for fulfilling my own role as a skilled bounty hunter or assassin. That's the most stupid thing I've read so far on these forums, Kara.

You don't put an economist behind wheel of a damn tank, just saying.


I'm Kari. It would be a very different discussion if I were Kara.

As I said, it's all your choice - do what you will, makes no odds to me.

Mugpie Campbell...introduce one-hour-mission board refresh...



I was thinking it would be a ten minute refresh thing, did they say what the timer would be? Cause I don't remember reading one.

Agree the powerplay thing changes ever 20 minutes or 30 minutes to get more bonds
If they do the board flip thing this would have an effect on other stuff to like commoditie trade. this is sestored to full amounts after a board flip or return to system.
Rares respwan after 10 minutes.

Where you got one hour I don't know,  but if I am not mistaken it was 10 or twenty minutes.

Edit:- Kari you are right, I have just looked back on your post.

I have noticed that some readers/viewers on Twitch/Utube only see or hear what they want, even if the answer is still in sight.

On a lighter note where is "Kara the Objectionist"

I would say it is more like self employed getting sub contracts - If a building firm can't get a building contract for a week, they go do something else (maybe even their shopping). It wouldn't help if they bitched to the contracting firms that there were only architectural jobs available for the next 10 or twenty minutes and it is 'so unfair'.
You could also just go do some bounty hunting without a mission for 20 minutes. I get your point, but it is not really that bad.

Board flipping was an exploit - that's not a criticism of those doing it, because i do it too, but it is an exploit nonetheless.

How do you, commanders set your control bindings? I am trying to set my camera views to work like it use to but I can't figure it out!  I know it lame but I would like to know what others have done.

Thanks

P.S. Sorry about the spelling I am dyslexic and relay on the spellchecker. There also may be some homophones.

I might have just made the biggest error in a long time. Ive been in the black for nearly two weeks i think. Scanning anything above and icy body. Taking massive detours to see nebulas and such. Playing 6 hours a day. My mother arrives to my house in a panic because a virus is chewing through her laptop and shes about to loose 10 years of work. A story shes writing. I put my ship into 0 throttle in supercruise mode. A fairly empty system. I wasnt pointed at anything. Thinking this wont take long, left elite running in background
Return 3 hours later..ship distroyed and no idea how. I didnt rebuy. I logged out and have asked frontier help how did i die. I know. My own error. But want to kniw...star? Planet?. . Ive asked if i can get the data back, but dont think its likely as this was my own foolish mistake..feel so low right now

It'll be in the last lines of your journal. How far out? In open? Fuel left?

Stupid question but wheres the journal. I see logbooks.achievements. personal logs and such

My journal is on my PC. Username/Saved Games/Frontier Developments/Elite Dangerous

Probably the easiest way to get there is to type %appdata% in the windows explorer search bar and then go up one level.

Another way is to look at the directory when you upload your journal to Inara.

===================

My gut feel is you ran out of fuel. Your ship uses fuel even when not moving and no fuel -> no life support -> rebuy.

can someone translate this?

You jumped into a system, honked, did a detailed scan, went to the system map while in supercruise, several of your friends came online, you exited out of supercruise 5 hours after your last action, and 15 minutes later you're dead, if I'm not misunderstanding something.

Rereading the conversation this looks like a classical case of afking in supercruise, running out of fuel, dropping from SC, going on lifesupport and then dying exactly 15 minutes later.

Lesson: Don't afk in supercruise.

Yea so im confused how i died. I wasnt low on fuel. Nore was i near a planet to my knowledge
Just came back to the game to find dead

I thought i still had over 1/4 of a tank left. Oh well

I know the fault was my own. Just trying to find out what. Didnt see a low fuel warning in the logs. Or heat damage.
