Birne Gilmore(partly english and german)


Hallo Commanders ...

I just want to tell you that we, CMDR RotBaum and me, CMDR Birne Gilmore, just created a new Facebook Group for german players. We realized that there was non yet (only some which are connected to different clans or sites) and just want to give us all the possibility for a such a great community working together like this one in english here. It is for sharing information, answering questions or just have fun with and about Elite: Dangerous.

Und nun in Deutsch : Ich möchte euch hier mal mitteilen, dass wir, CMDR Rotbaum und ich, CMDR Birne Gilmore, heute eine deutsche Facebook Gruppe für Elite: Dangerous gegründet haben, die nicht zu einem Clan oder einer Seite gehört. Wir haben beide festgestellt dass es dort bisher nur einige kleinere eben an communities gebundene gibt und ansonsten nur im anderssprachigen Raum unabhängige existieren. Und um auch im deutschen Raum eine so gute und lockere Zusammenarbeit wie Informationsaustausch, das Beantworten von Fragen oder aber einfach den Spaß mit Humor am Spiel zu ermöglichen gibt es nun unsere Gruppe.

Elite: Dangerous Germany

Wenn ihr interesse habt und mit dabei sein wollt oder aber wen kennt, dann kommt mit an Bord und/oder empfehlt die Gruppe weiter. Sie soll nicht Konkurrenz zu anderen Communities oder Gruppen sein, sondern als Bereicherung für uns alle, die Spaß am Spiel haben, dienen.

Die Gruppe ist geschlossen und "sanft" moderiert, was soviel heißt dass wir keine Spieler bannen, es sei denn sie verstoßen grob gegen existierendes Recht oder sind wahre Wiederholungstäter gegen die in der Gruppe geltenden Regeln.

Wir hoffen dass die Gruppe wächst und die erste unabhängige deutsche Facebook Gruppe wird, die uns allen, die Spaß am Spiel haben dazu dient zusammen zu arbeiten oder aber einfach über unser Hobby zu plaudern.

Fly safe, CMRDs o7

Frankfort Glückwünsche und viel Spaß mit Ihrem Facebook-Seite.

Bobo's ToupeeThis is possibly a silly question but are the ships near La Cosa City (Onionhead community goal) much better equipped shield-wise than ships around Eravate? I ask this because around Eravate I had no problem downing ships & their shields but near La Cosa City, I can't seem to make a dent in their shields. I didn't notice the type of ships & if they were the same or different. It just seems like I'm like a sitting duck there whereas near Eravate I shot like John Wayne...

Bobo's ToupeeMaybe because I'm listed as Hostile? My allegiance is with another therefore that could be why I'm being interdicted like the candy man on halloween?

Actually, James, if I might contest that point --
I agree the game IS adaptive - and that's most certainly a Good point.

Where I disagree is "the more valuable cargo ... you carry, the more attention you draw . . ."
If this is indeed the case, I would suggest the game IS "cheating".
How?
Well, why should you suddenly have an increase in Interdictions JUST BECAUSE you've got more valuable cargo?

That is, UNTIL YOU ARE SCANNED, then these opponents "shouldn't know" what you're carrying -- and we take the assumption that the game has not implemented "NPCs role-playing SPIES" in the docks to "watch" and note what cargo you take on-board..

See, I'd rather believe that the Interdictions really are kinda RNG / luck o the draw (and also depending how much of your ship's butt you leave in the nose of any other craft your radar/sensors SHOW YOU is/are on your tail!) cuz even though the NPCs comments always seem to be "you've been hard to find, I have you now" or "looks like you've got some tasty stuff and I want it" sorta thing, they - technically - "shouldn't know" what you have UNLESS and UNTIL they attempt to SCAN you, and are successful.

So, WILD BILL CODY:

Troa Barton has a recent YouTube vid in which he explains how to STOP anyone scanning you, which in some cases a completed scan will cause a mission to FAIL. The "sacrifice" for his method is the "fine" you get for firing upon someone unprovoked, but firing on them (even just 1 shot with a low power weapon, to avoid a murder charge) IMMEDIATELY stops a scan from completing. (Dock scan is a diff matter: boost thru letterbox!)

He also suggests turning your ship's butt toward the sun, SUBMITTING to the Interdict (so your FSD cooldown is SHORTER), IMMEDIATELY go straight in REVERSE a short distance, and pull your guns out:
the interdicTOR will appear IN YOUR CROSSHAIRS (practically), so either you can pound the crap out of them, if a pirate etc, or shoot once, stop any scan from happening (since they then pull out weapons instead of scanner) and BOOST away back into SuperCruise where they can't follow, because YOU have by now already cooled down, and with their weapons out, they'll take that bit longer to get back into Supercruise after you themselves.

GOOD LUCK.

Jameson LaveHey, friends. I've bought Horizons and Elite has changed language for me to Spanish. I DON'T WANT TO SEE ELITE TRANSLATED. I want it back to English. Do you know how? Thanks a lot.
I've changed a file (named "Specs" and I've replaced every "Spanish" to "English", but it doesn't work.
