KurakilDecided to try kb+m for SRV controls instead of hotas. It will take me a bit to get used to but I find it more agreeable so far.

FA off and it drives like a car. Flying is a bit tricky without relative mause on, but given that it controls only pitch it is far easier than faoff ship flight

It only took me around 2 hours before I didn't have to think about the controls with kb+m (I was expecting a longer time). I didn't try any fancy aerobatics but I rarely intentionally do that anyway. The main reason I wanted to change is that I found when I was in turret mode, it was difficult to aim accurately/precise with the stick. Using the mouse for that was way better and I can also free-look all the time when in normal mode more easily. Eventually I will try it for ships but for now I will just use them for SRV and on-foot.

Yeah, I usually drive in turreted mode unless I use the scanner. It is like driving a tank in most of the games... To some extend it is similar to world of warships as well - where your aim vector is different than your movement vector.

Mac4Ugh. I'm at Rukbat B, trying to teach myself to supercharge. Following all the online instructions and stuff, which seem straightforward enough, but so far, nothing seems to give Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

E.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtsrmbdQpSI or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vnEoFOSHIY , that's exactly what I (think I) am doing, but no luck so far. Hmm. With them, it seems to go quickly, too.



Dumb question - but you do have a fuel scoop right?

GoofyDumb question - but you do have a fuel scoop right?



Yes, thanks Doesn't seem to help with the supercharging, though

EDIT: Wait, what. you do that with a fuel scoop deployed?! %$# Dang me, who'd a-thunk, indeed! <beats self over head quite severely>

FSD supercharging is the process of flying into one of the high-energy relativistic jets of a neutron star or a white dwarf in supercruise with a Fuel Scoop equipped.

Damn, damn, damn. Thanks! A bunch!



well you're welcome / always check if fuelscoop is equipped and turned on

CMDR UvealPepper9326XBOX 'ELITE DANGEROUS: HORIZONS' ONLY.

Hello Xbox Cmdrs.

Re: Alternative to Solo & Open play modes. (Noobs especially are gonna love this.)

I am going to Open my Private account to any Xbox Cmdr that wishes to play in a Galaxy without PvP, no Gankers & no Human Piracy.
I am fed up with Gankers ruining my game because my death is their fun & being in Solo, I do feel alone, so, I thought I would Open up my Private Room for any Xbox Cmdr that likes to see other human Cmdrs flying about but without the fear of PvP, getting blown up by another Human,
So here's how it will work:

You play the game how you want as if in Solo but you are amongst other Human Cmdrs as if in Open but without the threat of another Human Cmdr Interdicting you or killing you for fun at a station or any reason.
If you want to do Power Play, go do your Merit building without the fear of another human cmdr attacking you. That is the point I keep stressing, no other Human Cmdr is allowed to Fire upon or Bump another Player.
Any PvP = Instant Permanent Ban from this Private Room.

No PvP Allowed even between 2 mates, strictly no PvP allowed.
No Human Piracy.
No Gankers.

Do Not Be the First Cmdr to Fire on another Human Cmdr because it will be the First Human Cmdr that releases Fire Power towards another Human Cmdr that will be Banned from this community. No excuses.

If you are fired upon by another Human Cmdr First, Get Xbox Video Proof, so hit that Xbox button that shows the last 2 minuets of game to prove you are a Victim but it is imperative you get the Perps Cmdr ID in video content. Once I have that Video from Xbox game play footage, I will then be able to put a Permanent Ban on that player, a Permanent Block.
Remember, this is my Private Group I am inviting You to join in so Banning You Permanently is My Choice if any of you break the 3 rules of PvP.

Enjoy other Human Cmdrs in the Galaxy without the Human PvP threat.

Open Galaxy Play but with the safety net of Solo.

Drop me a DM on this Inara site for more details, questions or sign up.

Wouldn't want to be with Mobius, considering how their Rep has been taken a dive lately. And I'm not talking about chastising people because they dare to utter the word Open in a sentence.

Never noticed this before but there is a size 8 frame shift drive in the game. Currently there are no ships available that can utilize it so there is no way to purchase one. What I also found to be interesting is that you can look up who sells them here on inara and the only places that sell it are all surface settlements. No stations sell it including the Jameson Memorial station.

I think finding Raxxla gets you the Type 8. As for odd, I just thought the oddest part was that Jameson doesn't sell it.

So I have a crew that I jeep on the books that steals 10% for doing nothing...

I just noticed that contributions to cg are 10% reduced... why isn't it 100% contribution then 10% of profit is transfered to my employee...
