SquirrelLord161Finally made it back to the AX community goal systems after my missaventure. I had to go around a very large sector of space that was permit locked when I got close to the Witch-head nebula. Does anyone know what that's all about?


Unofficial word is that it's Thargoid space.

SuperFrogXFinally hotspot worth mining!

BTW, due to most turning their market tools off, wonder if it makes sense to keep it running on my end. After spending one night jumping from system to system just to find out that market is WAY off, got to conclusion that most (if not all) miners are not using tool anymore.

IMHO with poor skills at adjusting and nerfing mining, devs are breaking this game.


Imagine mad cause bad. the mining is for once actually balanced now.

There have been changes recently to how the market behaves. The prices listed on Inara or EDDB will drop the more product you have in inventory if that stations demand is too low as you'd be flooding their market.

If you were to show up to that station with maybe 20 ore instead of 500 the price is more likely to align with what you expect to see. Additionally, the data Inara has could be old as the systems state may have changed sine the last report. Finally, there does seem to be some bad data as I keep getting reports of things like Painite selling for 1.5million on my ticker (it never shows up on Inara though, just an example of data corruption).

Hello Commamders. Can anyone help me with engineering? I have unlocked Farseer at max grade, uggraded my Fsd to max level and my jump range of my conda is still same(as well as if im almost modules stripped) . When i Mount Fsd guardian booster, i get some extra range, but im stuck About 45ly(withou fsd booster its 32ly ish?) . I have read milion of rumors and seen billions videos "how to", but i miss probably something. Any idea whats going on? Thank you in advance.! Fly safe.

Would have to see your ship build to offer any help. Can you message it to me?

for my marathon massacre buzzard i like a thermal long range beam turret to tag the little guys and a short range fixed burst laser/kinetic to hollow out the big ones.

..but WHY???


kbm+ammoless+stacking pirate massacres, there's no vulture that can stay behind an eagle. but at 6km win.

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question on my part but Farseer offers three upgrades to the FSD: jump range, faster boot and shielding. Have you used the right upgrade?

To go beyond that, you have to reduce weight. Drop your weapons and any optional modules you don't need. Replace core modules with D-rated ones if possible.

I used correct engineering: FSD range. Stripped Down everything i could just left needed modules for wandering around. Im unable to get from engineering more than 10ly ish

Hmm. Seems odd. Fully upgraded with Guardian booster should give you about 80lys range. This IS a mystery

Check out this example. It's kind of extreme, but it shows what's possible.

This is my deep space Asp Explorer. It's pretty much maxed out for jump range (if someone sees room for improvement please point it out thank you). This should show you the tricks to maxing jump distance.

I do not know mate, usually what I get in pirate massacre mission sources are FDLs, Pythons, etc and assassination missions are Conda/Corvette.

As for the Haz RES, I simply ignore everything smaller than AspX as the payout do not worth it.

....And my vulture do not need to stay behind eagle as I instant kill those before my weapon reload.



And lastly, take this advice: If you do not have problem to stay on target - try fixed weapon. They shred things.

Hey, it is not only stripping down. Some modules can be downsized.
For FSD you should really use increased range modification with mass manager experimental.
Try to downsize Power Plant and Power Distributor.  

Here is build with only FSD engineered


And this is my Relentless the ship I have used to join the 65k ly club. With this level of engineering you can make a paper build that will do 80ly jump, but my preferences are with having more protection.

Lastly,  building ship is a learning that you need to experience, but there are plenty of resources that can help you with this.

I have used this document How to build exploration ship which was created by the mentors in Elite Dangerous Community discord. Hope you have time to read it.
