Effie TrinketSomeone said, “evenback in 2014”

That’s so cute ????

I believe 2014 is in reference to the official launch of E:D.

Vinh KruczekDoes anyone experience issues with ship names on Xbox? Instead of the names we all see is *** ****** ***** towards each other and 100% we are sure that our ship names aren't anything vulgar or trademarked. Moreover, I noticed the same issue with Fleet Carriers.

There are no issues while importing the names onto INARA.



I tried to name a ship of mine something, and a particular three-letter substring in one of the words was deemed offensive and I could not use it. Several of my ships end up with asterisks in some scenarios but not others. Which only tells me this part of Elite was coded by an intern. At least I hope that having "worked as a real-world, no really, game development company" looks good on a resume.


But that issue concerns all the ships we see. Fleet Carrier in our system is also ****'ed. So are ships we see towards each other. If it was censorship, the INARA would reflect that but all the names are okay on INARA upon importing the journals.

Edit: BHS seems to trigger stuff but there is no clear idea why it could be dotted out.

Phoebious ZI have installed greek language support to my windows installation, yet when I type in greek, I still get boxes.


I guess that means they've hardcoded the location/name of the external Cyrillic font used in the game. ED does get advertised as supporting Russian but not Greek.

I agree that is shortsighted.

Indeed they use hard-coded fonts. The client for Russian language is different than the one for English. Russian client see English without issues.

EpisparhSo, the imperial capital ship will be inferior to Federation's counterpart. I bet they will be compensating with a golf course and a hot tubes.


Not Inferior. Each Tier completed means one capital ship was build.

Also:

On average every Federal pilot hauled a meager 5,412 tonnes, every Imperial pilot an impressive 6,228 tonnes. Which means: The Fednecks only reached Tier 5 because it had 2,146 pilots more hauling for them.

I have done only 3.6k tons per each.... So, the conclusion:
imperial hauling wrenches haul harder

Yeah, I've never seen a more busy System Chat when I was in the Mandh system, than when my Newb alt Sappho was sitting in 1 of the main stations of the Newb Zone, after Epic was giving out free accounts.

Perhaps I'll get some time to return to her soon.

Pffft... if you lazy asses had been as productive as we've been you would have completed the CG days ago already, so I see us reaching Tier 4 as the true victory here.

The same is also true for the bountyhunting one btw: Even though you had 2,480 more pilots more then the Empire you Fednecks completed that one at the same time then us.

I applaud you industrious imperial worker bees, but let me quote Epi to counter your bounty hunting point:

Asahi LorenzoThe results of the CG to protect ship building from piracy is interesting. Feds who participated were twice as many as Imperials but they completed the goal almost simultaneously. Gotta admire Imperial intensity! :-)


This is mainly because of how you bounty hunt:
The Federation minor faction do not control any system with RES nearby and the only way to do some reasonable bounty hunting is to stack pirate massacre / assassination missions. Something that a lot of commanders cannot figure.
The Imperial faction controls a nearby system with plenty of RES with unlimited supply of pirates. And since people can sign for all CGs - some changed side due to others being easier.

My personal experience: With same asset I was able to do 10mil for imps and then for the roughly same time just 6mil for feds. Worth to mention that I've made more CR fighting for the feds because of the missions.

No Klingon either. Tsk!

A question re: SLF pilots. Aside from the combat/expertise rank levels, is there any difference between them, as in, by the individual names? Thanks!

Not as far as I know. But worth to mention NPC crew pilots slow your combat rank progress while active and they get a flat % cut on all your income even when not in use.
