Ah, the first delicious tears come trickling in... hopefully they add an in-game mail system eventually so I can begin accumulating hate mail again.

Carebears never change.

What you should really do Ulminati, is a Supercruise tutorial. I still have some problems with it, I either overshoot the target, or I slow down too early. It is also strange that sometimes I can accelerate easily, and sometimes I'm stuck at 100km/s, and not being able to accelerate further.

There's a golden rule, the James Bond rule. Stay exactly within 0:07 seconds to your target (i'm not talking about distance, but time). If you'll go below 0:07, you'll start to accelerate at some point and will overshoot your target. 0:07 is the scientifically proven optimal approach.

On another topic -- any idea what the decal slots are for in the outfitting menu? They haven't popped any in the store (tey probably will). I'm kind of hoping you can get faction insignia for free if you reach a high enough rep/rank with them. :3

We will get an early backer decal on release. Dunno how others can be acquired.

I usually go for 0:05 because I'm baller and like living on the edge.

Just arrived in nahua , i quickly understood the strategic choice of the sector, really good trade route indeed.

Nahua (Reactive Armor) <-> HIP 116460 (Gold from the refinery) is sexy indeed. (Or silver or lithium if you can't afford to stock up on gold).
Dubyago Dock next to the Nahua system (I forget the name of the system it's in) has a black market. Nahua has a good shipyard and a 'k selection up upgrades in the outfitting section. You can also check out Ch'i Lin for cargo racks.

Time to buy that interdiction module and have sum fun

How much space on my SSD would I need?

Fuck you / thank you for making me want to buy a hauler.

Aarggghhh - I was going to get this as I played Elite on BBC B many moons ago -

It would have qualified on my extremely short list of games to buy as soon as they are published.

Really want an offline SP mode. Don't understand why it would affect the "Quality of the game".

Disappointed in Braben. You sold out. Ubisoft even learned their lessons.

Nahua (performance enhancer , progenitor cells)<---> popocatepl (gold, silver, palladium) works too, but now the precious are in low supply sometime.

Man... Those frontier forums make me weep for gaming. So many people crying about interdictions being too difficult or wanting to blacklist every player who attacks them but still play in open. How did we come to this state?

 

[Duellist_D]

Ongoing appeasement politics towards fucking casuals and perma-scrubs.

 

[bonescraper]

Time to find a new source of gold and silver 3:

 

[Ulminati]

Did popocatepl and HIP116460 run out? I know of one more station that haz it nearby

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

So much for my hauling spree then. Oh well, back to the asteroid belts I go. Dakka dakka.

 

[Ulminati]

Yeah. Moleneux terminal is borked too

Will go exploring. If I come across another good trade route, I'll share with bros

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

Also: Quick question! Does selling equipment and ships always give you 100% of your investment back? I'm kind of keen on getting a hauler, strip that shit down and heading over to some other region of space but it'd be nice to know if I could get my eagle back once I get there.

 

[Mortmal]

Is there any easy acces black market in the area ? May have find something more lucrative than gold run if yes.

 

[Ulminati]

Mortmal there's one in Dubyago Dock in Kanitisa

 

[The Fish]

How much profit is there per item on these trade routes? I've been getting 1100 one way and 1300 the other.

Incidentally, I don't need your charity any more Ulminati. I have some dignity now that I'm rich.

Also, is there any reason not to go for a lower rank power plant if it has better stats? That is to say, I have a rank 4 but I'd be buying a rank 3 one with better power capacity. There aren't hidden stats are there with these components are there?

Modules have 2 ratings. "Size" which is a number and "Class" which is a letter. Higher size requires a bigger slot to mount. Higher class has better rating. If you're going from an E4 to a B3 power plant, it's probably going to be an upgrade, even though the size is smaller. a B4 would be even better stats. A C4 would probably have similar stats but cost less cr
