QuillmonkeyAh, LHS 417 9 E A is no more.
That means no more selenium for me in Odyssey.

I've read some interesting stuff on here, but how are folk coping? I think I've done my time with Odyssey for the moment. 14 tickets raised with support, 2 ships lost forever and that bloody catastrophe that is outfitting. I did think the graphics would carry me through and I'd always log into Odyssey even if I was ship based but I just can't do it. The target holo not aligning, the inability to plot route to bookmarks, the fact it has a 'Ship Stats 1 of 4' icon on the screen but won't let you see page 2, 3 or 4, the fact you can't equip modules from your storage - these are school boy coding issues that I don't think anyone should have to put up with.
I still stand by fDev, as I'm sure we all do. I gave a positive review on Steam and I definitely think the potential of the game is high when they add some non-shooty content - but Christ on a double dildo, there's a lot of work to do to get it there.

*Besides, I haven't managed to successfully complete a foot mission yet. Keep getting into fights and dying, even on threat level 0 missions.


Indubitably a lot of issues, just a quick note about this one though : ''Ship Stats 1 of 4' ", this actually works if you map a key to "page change" which wasn't the case in my setup (as well as "see details" on your ships in the ship selection menu).

Thanks, I'll have a look at my keybinds for 'change page' don't think I've seen that before.
And as for modules - yes, you can fit them from storage. That is the only way you can do it at present. You can't, for instance, go to your ship hardpoints, select a vacant slot and see what you have stored for that slot. It only allows you to buy from the store or swap with another hardpoint placement. Horizon used to have a 'Transfer' button but it's not around in EDO (or wasn't before the latest patch).
Will check next time I load up EDO.
Currently trying to play in EDH but as above, nothing but server errors.

Did anyone use the CG to get very rich? The reward was low but the payouts for tritium were extraordinary. I didn't take part but just looking, a 666t cutter jumping 2x (60ly) could buy at 52k and sell at Dublin for 103k per tonne. That's 35mill per trip or 200mill an hour.

Well then, Core Dynamics v Jupiter Division, Round 2...

I'll just be sitting on my sofa over here, put my legs up and munch on some popcorn while the Fednecks fight each other once more.

Oh, and just like last time I wouldn't mind if the Federation's lie of being a "democratic utopia" would continue to be exposed, with its evil corporate face (which the colony of Achenar was founded against) finally visible for all, so noone will ever think of the Federation being Elite's "good guys" ever again...

There are people who try to do the right thing.

Of course, the "right thing" means different things to different people.
