SakashiroKurakilSo the Engineered DSS CG said it would be available at all human tech brokers "by the 25th" but I don't see it anywhere so I'm assuming they really meant "sometime on the 25th".
How much better than a grade 5 engineered DSS is this anyway? Is it worth upgrading?
It's def worth upgrading for exploration ships. I wouldn't bother for mining vessels.
It doubles the coverage area (not radius) and math aside basically means:
Planets rated efficiency 2 need 1 probe,
rated 4 need 2
rated 6 need 3
rated 7 need 3-4
It pretty much makes failing to achieve the efficiency bonus impossible AND makes probing much faster/less hassle in general.

GoingGameI didnt took part at the community goal but can i still get the engineered dss. If yes what are the mats required??
It should be 12 Niobium, 12 Mechanical Components, 10 Germanium, 10 Mechanical Scrap. This will last for 2 weeks, then the cost will be 24/28/22/26 (if I am reading it correctly).

Light-HawkWait, we can get this new engineered DSS even if we missed out on the community goal?
Yes, it is at human tech brokers.

I have a problem, sometimes the computer moves from the game screen to the computer desktop. (However, the game continues in the background.) This only happens with ED. Annoying especially in a combat situation. I have turned off the background programs and tried to turn the game mode on and off. The operating system is Windows 10
Does anyone have solutions?

RapisHello commanders!
I have a problem, sometimes the computer moves from the game screen to the computer desktop. (However, the game continues in the background.) This only happens with ED.

Are you using EDMC? For me, the Overlay plugin will take precedence on load which is annoying but simple to expect and task switch back the one time.
Are you using a Windowed mode, or fullscreen? If windowed your mouse may be moving outside the window area and selecting the desktop. ED's mouse control is bad for this kind of thing.
Do you have more than one monitor/desktop window? Similar to issue above.
Other culprits I've not had an issue with but would suspect are third party overlays like with Steam , or Nvidia's Geforce Experience window.

Ryanjt84Not too far along in this CG collecting Guardian Junk (of course after I left the system) and I noticed that the top CMDR has over 2,000 pieces collected!? That's two at a time in a SRV, correct? Damn... Should I be impressed or worried for their health?
No. there is a technique at Beta sites where you can use collector limpets and relog.
