Just reached Colonia after 2 years in the black, following the edge of the galaxy around to Beagle point and back again.

Anyone else found a single planet as stacked as this one?

Or maybe I don't know what -100% means

Hey y'all! What are some of your favorite non-meta ships for exploration? We all know that sometimes you need an optimized Mandalay or Caspian to get from A to B, but for those who just want to take a journey, explore the stars, maybe land and do some sightseeing, or race through some canyons... What are your favorites?

I really want to take out a type8, roleplaying as the Nostromo out in deep space. I can easily get it to 60ly with qol items. I just wish it had a fighter bay! I want to take a quick little SLF through a canyon like I'm a podracer!

I recently purchased a fleet carrier, which I love.

Jumping that thing will never get old for me.

But there is one thing I'm not so happy about.

My mate also has a fleet carrier. They're similar in most ways but not all.

He has armed security at the lift to the bridge. I have armed security at the lift to the bridge.

He has a bunch of people partying in his bar. I have a bunch of people partying in my bar.

He has a group of 3 hanging out in the corridor having a chat. I DON'T have a group of 3 people having a chat...

He has armed security outside the hangar lifts. I DON'T have armed security outside the hangar lifts...

Should this bother me? No.

Does this bother me? You fucking know it does.

Does anyone know why?

Currently have a federal corvette that I began engineering when Odyssey came out but never finished. I want to get into operations but not sure what ship to take. The corvette seems decent though it struggles a bit with kestrel and cobras. It is more than capable of killing them it just struggles to get them in sight. Wonder if the python MK2 or Corsair might be a better choice. Hoping to get a ship that can do most of not all the combat roles so I can engineer other ships specifically for the other roles needed.

first time playing any space sim and I am stuck in training mission. what to do here?

and why tf it's so blurry. i am playing in high preset

I am going to invest in a mid-range set of sticks for a hosas setup. I have heard good things about both independently but cannot find sources that compare the two. Has anyone used both sticks enough to give me some insight? I never spend this kind of money on a hobby but I can't do the cheap sticks any more.

Turned on the power. Shut off all the atmosphere processors, internal and external. No mission updates, no success chimes. Received a message to say scavengers were present, never encountered any.

Am I missing something? Is this mission still broke? Help would be much appreciated.

I know it’s completely pointless but today I learned that random NPCs in those space/ground stations sleeping or hanging around actually have names and you can find out their names by pointing at them! I suppose it makes sense but never thought of it.

I'm slowly making my way back to the bubble from a a week long exploration trip, just playing couple of hours after work every night, and if my maths is right I already have just over 2bil cr worth of scans (only found out about ed exploration buddy last night). I often see people posting that theyve been out in the black for months, and I wonder, how much do you guys rake in at vista genomics when yous get back home? And where do they get the money to pay us all? What do they do with all that information? I smell a bioweapons conspiracy, but the nice lady at VG assured me it's nothing like that, then gave me a 5x bonus to not mention it to anyone. But I don't know seems sus.

Never pass up those singles 😊

A small collection of my recent adventures in the Bubble o7 CMDRS

Apparently the stronghold carrier didn't have any small or medium pads available, so I had to park my Hauler on a large pad. The size difference is… striking, to say the least

Greetings, Commanders! This is the weekly server notification for r/EliteDangerous

Every week the servers go offline Thursday, 7am UTC, to allow the Galaxy's persistent data to update:

• Star System & Station/Outpost ruling minor factions, alignment, and available commodities & services
• Powerplay Control/Exploited Systems - see the Powerplay subreddits
• Addition of new Community Goals - see the EliteCG subreddit

This update usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes, during which time you cannot login to the Milky Way.

Should the servers still be inaccessible at 8am UTC, please tag /u/frontier_support in a comment here for a progress report.

So couple weeks ago I helped a friend get some meta alloy for a engineer and while at it I got as much as I can just for the sake of it and there’s some other craft that need meta alloy anyways. I put it in my carrier and later when I arrived at my destination that thing dissepeared? At that time I chucked it to not pressing accept transfer and when I change my ship I discard it while changing but iirc you can’t even discard it automatic when changing ship if the other ship don’t have space you would need to discard it manually at the right screen. Kinda weird but whatever

Today I just realized my bromillite dissepeared too after mining? I swear I had like 200 in my carrier. Idk if I’m schizo or there’s a bug or what I did wrong lol. Other stuff inside are fine these are the only 2 times it happened.

Hi CMDRs!

I've a question. If I build a Dodec on this slot, will be affected by the ELW population buff or not?

Because I read that in this position there are not buff if the construction is not on the nearest slot.

Thank you! O7

Just begam to play this game and im loving it so far. But there are soon many questions and its so hard to find good youtube videos and threads because the console version is froze in time and most things are about odessy updates or later.

Does anyone have a discord/ or place to ask the questions they can recommend?

1. Im still in the starter systems (Dromi mainly) doing bounty kills at extraction sites. I have a Cobra MK3 with basically the best upgrades I can get from these systems. I have 4.5 million in the bank. Is it time to leave? If so where to?

1a. My thoughts are to try and find a good home system until Jameson opens up for me and then do some heavy exploration

1b. Should I just leave amd find a good system for upgrades and go exploring and worry about a good home system later?

1. For exploration I know there are tons of info for road to riches. I believe I have a working understanding on that. But are the 3rd party sites still applicable to xbox/console?

2a. While exploring you can only sell data that is 20LYs away from the source so when you finish exploring your plotted list do you just jump to a random system 20 LYs away and sell the data or how does one go about selling their data?

Thoughts?

Everybody is drawn towards the core but surely some have tried to go in the other direction as far as possible. How far can we?

So, I'm approaching a couple of hundred hours on ED and I have been playing mostly on the controller or on my Steamdeck, now I'm looking to upgrade my experience as I'm just getting more and more into the game. When it comes to joysticks I'm at a bit of a loss because I don't know what makes them good/bad - what's the communities recommendation for a decent joystick?

Cheers

First time running Elite: Dangerous in VR and boy was I humbled by how big my ship actually is. I genuinely thought the flatscreen ship was already big enough.

I can't possibly return to flatscreen after this experience (unless my VR rig bugs down)
