Light-Hawk... I kind of wish FDev had done more... .


Me too.


Everytime they do more things take a turn for the worse. Specially when they add more features, acting like a Sledgehammer you throw into a fragile Clockwork.

And as long as they provide a semi-stable game experience I don't need any extra flavour done via Galnet or the likes. Back when CGs were able to be requested by the Playerbase the incentive to actually do them was there, but today? Either it forks out enough cash to buy and equip a Fleetcarrier afterwards or it'll be beyond notice, and they mostly are done by those who already own one already. The regular Player that doesn't own at least a engineered Cutter isn't really going to get much out of it.

I keep doing what I've always done, write my own Story and that of the Squadron I'm with for the last 7 years. Playing the BGS, despite all its flaws and shortcomings, is more rewarding to me then anything in recent Elite history.

I didn't meant more features but rather putting more effort on existing stuff to add more depth and meaningful game experience.

Honestly, I would be more happy if they skipped all that "EPIC space legs" and all the non-sense that came with it and polished existing bugs pre-EDO .... and maybe adding few more ship/SRV models for variety.

Elite Dangerous need grow. Not stady in the past. This game need money to mantain it and the competence its Hard. All changes bring us bads and goods things, with time, these bad things become a goods things. We living fast and we lost patience, its our mistake, not of a company Who fight for continues changes. I think. Of course we all make errors.

EDO follow a natural course for this type of games, we look at star citizen, Eve, no Man sky, and the future starfield. Élite its today a unique spacegame but... not survive without updates, mechanics, grafics, lore...

I'm chasing prismatic 8a shields but they are not where they should be according to INARA.
Are they worth the trouble or would i do better to fit bi-weaves or something else?{

polished pre edo i fully agree. personal i would like to see some micro games ingame, like a poker table in the bar where you can meet and play with other commanders and get or loss some credits, or something else or the ability to trade euipment / ships with players, never understood why that isn´t possible. restrictions can be put on transfers to keep abuse apart. easy said more deeper, realistic gameplay.. and many many others things i think..

depends on what are you planing to do, they are strong and good in certain situations like targoid battles but keep in mind they recharge slower than the other shield types, i would suggest some shield banks for combat use

details for the prismatic shield generator and for the bi weave shield generator

here i found a interesting video:

Also be aware it's a loyalty reward for Aisling Duval (Powerplay faction), so you need to have your rating high enough to see the Prismatic shields in the outfitting.

Prismatics for big slow ships like type 10, federal corvette an exception a cutter fighter maybe. Biwave for fast combat ships that you can run out, recharge and return to battle, like ferde.. etc...
