first sorry my english

I have this vulture
https://s.orbis.zone/bkbq

there is almost never a problem with the durability of the shields, even with the biggest pve elite sihps and can handle 3 or 4 smaller ships simultaneously.
however, if the shields fall, you still manage to escape,, ,usually
i love Vultures movement

RotwhylrAlso, in the game you can see your most recent in-game contacts in the Comms panel, 4th from the left (looks like a clock icon).


Wow, you learn something new every day.

The commander was CMDR _Kasper_ - To be honest, a decent PVP'er for not killing me outright. It's what I expected although it wasn't much of a fight - seeing as I have NO weapons and really crappy shields.

Anyhow, now out in the void, peering into my soul. Looks amazing in VR (Oculus was £100 off on Amazon so a cheeky early Xmas pressie for me). So much easier to surface scan planets.

I will certainly be going into Solo when I get to Colonia - I hear that there are loads of griefers there trying to kill the explorers with millions of credits of explorer data. It's one hell of a way to ensure that ED eventually shuts down because no more noobs due to rage-quitting.

I try not to let it stress me out - otherwise it isn't a game - I get enough stess from work, lol.

Obsidian VoidHi, folks! Not sure where else to post this, so I hope I'm in the right place.

But first, as my initial contribution to this thread, allow me to say that I'm a Day 1 Elite Dangerous player but play on-and-off, so I have only gotten to fully appreciate the miraculous labor of love that is inara.cz. I have since used this site extensively, especially to manage my engineering projects and resource allocations, as well as to locate the best prices for ship modules. All I can say is: Good job to the admins, mods, and contributors to this site! You guys rock!

Now, I've only recently decided to build an anti-Thargoid (I don't want to call it anti-xeno as not all aliens are bad I'm sure) ship and have chosen the Alliance Challenger as my platform. I know the Chieftain or Krait Mk. II are considered the best anti-Thargoid ships, but the Challenger is noted to perform similarly to the Chieftain when it comes to Thargoid combat, and I'm a sucker for trying to make underdog ships work. However, in using inara.cz's outfitting tool, I noticed that there is an error in the armor module prices for the Alliance Chieftain, Alliance Challenger, and Alliance Crusader: Each armor type is priced identically for each ship. For example, Military-Grade Composite is priced 15,307,134 credits for the Chieftain, 15,307,134 credits for the Challenger, and 15,307,134 credits for the Crusader. From what I know, that price is only correct for the Chieftain, but is repeated (and thus wrong) in the Challenger and Crusader.

This error has led me to miscalculate the total price -- and thus, rebuy cost -- of my intended Challenger build. From what I can tell, the Challenger's Military-Grade Composite should be 27,425,039 credits without discounts.

Apparently, this pricing is taken from or sourced to an API common to inara.cz, coriolis.io, and edsy.org -- possibly some others as well -- as all these sites show the same erroneous pricing for the Challenger and Crusader.

Anyone know how we can correct this? Is inara.cz the source of this information and thus can be corrected via this site? If inara.cz also just gets that information through a third party source via an API, is there a way we can trace the source and inform the relevant party of this correction? I'm sure it would help other players who, like me, might also enjoy building ships that aren't the most popular.

Thanks!


Like you said, Inara pulls data from other sources, so I'm not sure this is something that can be fixed internally here. Artie would be the one to address that. It's probably best if you move or re-post this in the "Updates, bug reports, requests" forum here.

Thanks! I'll look for that thread and repost this there, seeing as there seems to be another discussion of an unfortunate nature going on here.

Has not happened yet, and I don't think it is really gonna happen now.

It sounds as if Colonia has changed a little since I was there a few weeks ago!

Sounds like the war has turned uglier. I bet if Carcosa was returned to the hands of free people, things would calm down a lot.

With Likedeeler now filling a slot in Carcosa and pushing hard things may get very interesting very quickly
I've arrived to do some engineering first then will take a look over the lie of the land, I'm sure there is somewhere that can suffer a vermin infestation...

Is the type-10 30% off on all systems now ?

Yes, until the end of the year. It is cheaper than type-9 currently.

I always chuckle when I read Rodentia...

It was the name I'd given to one of my creations in Ridge Runner Unbounded some years ago...  Along with Ratopia and others
(they were all on public servers in those days, and quite well visited!)

Has anybody used the Pulse Wave Analyzer since they implemented a fix on Dec 16? Is it working?

You as well, Smaloo.

Every time I fly without a fuel scoop, I fly dangerously.



Facts right there.
