KensaiVGHuh, disregard me - is it true it'll remain ARX exclusive indefinitely for non-oddisey players? That puts a damper on things

Yes, that's correct. Non-Odyssey players still need to unlock any new ship with Arx even when it's available in the game for credits to Odyssey owners already (like Python Mk II).

How do you get to external camera in 1st person mode? (I mean when on foot, not in a ship or SRV.)

Sad times. I'd understood it at first to be a limited exclusive thing - that it would be Odyssey only for X months and then general. Well there go my plans to have a ship I love the design of

I believe it is F12 by default

I can't say what the default is since I've customized most of my keyboard controls, but F1`2 is also the default for taking Steam screenshots. So, F12 will likely not work on either if both are running.

Why is it taking 30 to 40 minutes to get a carrier jump when it used to only take 15?

Found the answer on Fronteirs website. High traffic, or in other words not enough servers, which again means not enough interest in the game. Why am I going to spend 33,000 ARX ON A NEW MINING SHIP when it takes 40 minutes to get to the mines. I just set the timer and watch youtube.

Hi cmdrs,
I'd like to know about the exact armour piercing value modifiers for *grade 5* engineering.
There are two effects that can change the AP on burst lasers:
- Sturdy
- Focused
On Inara, Sturdy is said to have +60% AP, and Focused has +120%
On the ED wiki (elite-dangerous.fandom.com), Sturdy has +45% AP, and Focused has +60%
Which site has the correct info as of today ?
Thank you so much, if someone knows please lmk.

It's a quirk of the system, always happens after the weekly server restarts and patch days. Been like this for years.

It's annoying, but it's just how things are after server restarts. It works itself out in a day.

... but it's only increased because of a higher interest in the game/release of the T8, which kind of defeats your statement. Would you keep servers for a 1000 players running when you've had concurrent player counts of 500 for quite a while? (Those are purely fictional numbers and I don't have a clue about how many people actually are playing - please don't pull Steam numbers which only represent a single store platform among three.)

Hello, I am not sure where the wiki numbers came from, but Inara numbers should be correct (you can also see them on EDSY and Coriolis).

Did I hear this right? Engineering now has a predictable linear progression? One roll for the first grade, two rolls for the second, five rolls for the fifth?

It used to be 1, 2, 3, 4, 9. And sometimes 10. Or 11.

And a single HGE now has 40+ scoopable units?
