I'm nearly sure you can fit only ONE fuel tank per ship as for the heat sinks, you have 4 UTILITY MOUNTS on the Type 8.

You can install auxiliary fuel tanks in optional internal slots along with the standard one in Core Internals

I stand corrected, in any case it goes against what I would do to increase performances of my ships, a 6A FUEL SCOOP and 5C FUEL TANK are more than enough to cover ever possibility, the worst I've seen was 3 non-refuelable stars in a row. No issue.

I've been Frontier'd, haven't I ?

IIRC the log uplinks show up only when you’re quite close (like 1.5 km or so). Try flying around the megaship while looking at your contacts list. (yeah, another example of silly game mechanics)

Bainsey7 Not "every" possibility. I want to see how fast and far a Type-8 will go if it's full of fuel tanks. The SCO is great but it guzzles fuel very very quickly. One of the AX CZ's this week is almost 400,000ls out and using SCO only gets me less than a quarter of that distance before I get warnings about fuel levels.
I won't be doing this to a Type-8 intending to keep it that way. Just as an experiment and for the laugh really.

SCO is much like Afterburner as opposed to Supercruise, I use it to go around a star faster or shorten the distance from a star to a station. for increased performances I'd rather use engineering and A Class thrusters.

Increasing weight will reduce your performances, including boost speed and jump range.

MarcOmegaWhile you might find something that you can run under Linux using WINE, since ED Odyssey is a Windows game, most of the third party tools are going to be Windows based. I usually run my tools on the same computer I use for ED, but ported out to a separate display.

This makes it sound like I won't be successful running Elite on a Linux system. Is that true?

I'm growing weary of Windows and have long used Linux for many things other than gaming. Considering how much I enjoy and play Elite Dangerous, I would hate to convert my gaming system to Linux only to find out I can't run Elite. (Not to mention VR compatibility.)

I have successfully installed 3 copies of E:D on Linux Mint Cinnamon (Frontier, Steam, Epic), although I haven't actually done anything with them until I build a new machine. If you get stuck, I can try and find my instruction notes.

RawnuI was today's years old when I found out that your Fleet Carrier is not your "last docked station" when you are destroyed but the last non-FC station you docked... Had to to take 9 jumps back to base. (Also, gankers around Raijin are a curse)

AH....
start Steam, log in bla ablaa, download the game, settings - use Proton (or what ever the exact wording was), play.
There is no magic to it. It's literally that simple to play Elite Dangerous or any other Steam game on Linux.

It runs fine on Linux. For VR I use a Quest 2 over ALVR.

For my HOTAS I had to do something in regedit though because Steam tried to map my flight stick and throttle to an Xbox controller... but besides that little hiccup it works well. (Instructions for doing that are on protondb for Elite Dangerous.)

The only 3rd party thing I use is EDDiscovery, and I use the portable release and just run it in my ED proton instance:


$ protontricks-launch --appid 359320 EDDiscovery.exe


But anybody could just as easily add it in Steam as a "non-steam game" and launch it that way, I don't see why it wouldn't work?

I think the regedit stuff for HOTAS is the most complicated part, but besides that it all just works.
