It's only available from the official store, right? Not sure if I want to pay 40 jews before trying out the game.

 

[bonescraper]

do you not know any ppl in real life who bought or backed it? other than that, wait until the inevitable price drop after the first priced expansion hits us.

Well, ED comes with pseudo-mmo always-online DRM. So it's pretty unlikely it'll be cracked anytime soon. Same as Diablo 3 basically - you'll have to wait for a server emulator.

 

[shihonage]

I predict 3 months before the game is cracked for most of single-player functionality. MMOs are much thinner clients than E:D. This means the multiplayer portion will be hacked to all hell, and it also means the pseudo-single-player portion will be cracked rather quickly.

This means the multiplayer portion will be hacked to all hell,

Keep dreaming on.

 

[shihonage]

You're the one living in a fucking dream. I know it happens. IT HAPPENS!!

 

[Ulminati]

Let's make a deal shihonage. If ED is cracked 3 months from release (that is: all major functionality available to pirates by feb 16th 2015, without FD releasing an offline mode first), I will give you a free copy of the game and acknowledge your powers of prophecy. OTOH, if the game is NOT cracked by then, you must create a thread in site feedback asking DU to watchwitz you.

Are you man enough to take up the challenge?

There will be no aimbots in ED

For comparison, Planetside 2 had: disable fall damage, instant reload, instant hit rockets, easy-mode flying (flying model disabled, make impossible turns), aimbot that aims for weak spots and leads accurately, wallhack etc. etc. etc.

And that's a multi-million AAA MMO project.

So, the reward is nothing, and the punishment is everything. You are terrible at masking contempt, you little dictator wannabe, you.

 

[Ulminati]

I'm offering you €40 worth of games.

But you are correct that I hold you in contempt. Cowards die in shame.

If my prediction that the game becomes available for free proves correct, you're offering me the said game for free.

But you are correct that I hold you in contempt. Cowards die in shame.

Pussy.

[Ulminati]

The RPG codex. Don't worry, the comfortable numbness will set in soon enough.

Lead dev just said on the official forums that rare trade goods will be reduced in number per station starting next patch. Get your farm done while you can!

 

[bonescraper]

I hate you.

 

[Ulminati]

You'd hate me more if I di tell you

Found out yesterday that Toxandji has a high supply of cheap consumer tech. A nice bit of side-profit to keep in mind for the rare wipe.

 

[Mortmal]

How much profit by hour is made with rade trade goods ? I d like to know if its really better than the trade route i found ,trading gold for powergenerator , high demand each, with just one jump to do.

 

[Ulminati]

In my asp at the moment, 3.6 mill/hour. 14 jumps, 160 LY. Rare goods at both end points. Bear in mind the Asp isn't running maxed cargo racks.

I've got the jump sequence written down + distance between systems on a piece of paper so I can quickly find next jump on nav menu. Keep throttle at max after jump, pitch around and away from star while finding system, jump as soon as FSD is up.

I started out with both endpoints having a fair amount of resources in stock. Stock is gettign progressively lower as I mine the route on both ends though. I've got 2-3 circuits left before I'm flying half cargo capacity.

 

[Bradylama]

Rare goods are already being milked dry. Typical stocks range from 20-40 these days. I only have a single 64-cargo rack and it would take an hour or two to fill the hold with rares.

Rare trading is just too profitable, is the bottom line.
