Elite Dangerous

An "easy to implement" note to remove the obvious ship interiors, something like new mechanics with UI or interactions with the BGS.

My first feature would be stolen from Eve Online's Project Discovery it would consist of a new module that acts as a powerful telescope to look at systems in a medium range, 10-30LY.

You wouldn't see planets, but you could do Astrometry (see the wobble of the star as planets orbit around), or Transit detection (see the star light dim as planets go in front).

The data could be taken from real dataset that need human analysis (if there's any left), and players rewarded with both a credit vouchers and a way to look for potential biological signals in surrounding systems.

Another feature that could be easy (but require a lot of balancing or limits) would be to allow players to create Missions.

For example, with colonization, you could give credits to players who participate in transporting resources, you could pay players to bring you engineering resources, you could create escorts missions to protect you from gankers, etc...

What kind of feature would you like to see?

Hello everyone, brand new commander here. I have just bought and installed the game yesterday and it is really a pleasure and an eye-candy on my 4K monitor. Finished the first training and the first mission in Dromi.

I am playing with mouse and keyboard for now. But cannot exclude buying a flight controller for this and other games in the near future.

Please advise in general on anything that may be useful to a newbie, but here are a few questions:

• How much of a campaign is there? I heard the real pleasure is in getting lost, but it would still be interesting to see if any story is there.
• How much of a multiplayer experience is (left) in there? I could see names that sounded "human-given" in the Ext.Comm. screen but didn't really understand.
• Am I ruining my experience significantly by playing without a flight stick? I don't think I will buy a huge HOTAS set, but if I can get an extremely good experience by buying something chill like the Logitech Extreme 3D, please tell me.

Hiya, what structures do you suggest i put on my planets that cant hold orbitals? Should those have like military bases for security or what?

Just be sure to put it to 75% at 0:06

What is a good build for the python mk2 while in a conflict zone? Im trying to grind combat rank (im halfway through Competent) and im okaaaaay at piloting. Ill get smoked by players, but i can do well against the AI most the time, though I have trouble managing pips.

I've been really enjoying the Mandalay, but I also really like the Python MK2 for combat. There will also always be a place in my heart for the DBX tho.

A couple days late posting it but IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!!

Because I just finished one (+6 security) and it's still showing low security for the system.

EDIT: today it switched to medium security \o/ and I also gained some population, even if there was no tick since last checked this night according to https://elitebgs.app/tick

This uses my X4-SimPit extension for X4: Foundations, that sends ship telemetry via a socket to my node-red plumbing pipeline, which in turn forwards data to Websockets, SocketIO and MQTT. Various subscriber listen on the new messages to run blinken lights and my HUD app. I’m using the well known message format also used by Elite Dangerous so it’s compatible with that game as well.

Oh yeah… and on Linux PC 🤓

Let me know what you think!

X4-SimPit code (pending changes) is here: https://github.com/bekopharm/x4-simpit The cockpit panel has a dedicated project page here: https://simpit.dev/

getting a Type 9 docked on an M-pad is easier than i thought. if you dock at a planetary construction size, finish construction and then relog without undocking, you'll spawn in docked at the newly built settlement. even if they don't have any L-pads! now i have to try to dock a T9 on an S-pad...

Anyone else just randomly lose status as system architech? Happened to me a bunch recently, even relogging didnt fix it.

I was playing today doing some exploration toward Hawking's gap, when I noticed I didn't have to toggle the orbit in a while...

Turns out it was fixed in the Trailblazers update ! They also fixed a couple issues with the powerplay screen.

With luck VR users will get more love in the next few updates?

What do yall think of Trailblazers so far? I've just built my first colony, and I really like it so far. I dont even mind the grind... until the CMM composites come into play. Hopefully they buff them again, cuz even with the buff, its really annoying to go some place and pick up like 70 CMMs when I need 5000.

Im gonna try and make my colony a refinery based colony, and build cmms for myself and others in my sector.

System Colonisation is now possible. Let the Bubble’s expansion commence.

In short: Putting down a claim needs 25mil and 5 mins to shoot out a beacon. Then you have 4 weeks to collect a massive amount of materials to build your first port.

I've set out to colonize Paradiso. Anyone else going to claim systems?

I finally got around to trying the Scorpion, but even for settlement raids and surface markers, the Scarab seems overall better in most aspects, especially when it comes to long range combat.

Edit: it seems good at killing sentry skimmers, but you gotta get pretty close because turrets are so inaccurate

Community Goal is now active in Minerva and rewards a Brewer decal: "All participants will receive a unique ship Decal. Participants must register at least 1 contribution to be eligible."

Contribute by earning bounty vouchers or delivering specific commodities. A quick check of profit margins on these goods show there's not much profit to be made but still worth a couple of runs (I'll be delivering Power Generators myself):

• Copper ~450cr -
• Computer Components ~500cr -
• CMM Composite ~1000cr (very low supply though) -
• Power Generators ~700cr -
• Water Purifiers ~500cr -
• Surface Stabiliser ~ 450cr -
• Structural Regulators ~700cr -

Hi, so I asked recently who was the best Power Player, and I have to ask, is there a Leader who gives bonus Genetic Data money? I know Li gives 100% bonus exploration data cash, but do any of them give a genetic data bonus?

Title says it all. Im still neutral after all these hours, mostly cuz im an explorer, but i wanna know what you guys back in the bubble think? And what do you think of the new Shadow President for the feds?

Greetings CMDRs,

As you may have noticed there was an effort to dethrone the faction Mother Gaia in Sol, in order to see if something happens to the exclusive lockdown of Neptune's moon Triton. (All credits for the idea to CMDR Tormanbin.)

In the end of the last year, MG was dethroned, and Sol Worker's party was #1. But this happened at the most unfortunate time. It was around the holidays, when the titan was invading Sol. FDevs paused BGS changes in the system for weeks.

But then, over the holidays, people lost motivation. And MG is having their comeback.

My idea now behind this is, that FDevs indeed were caring about our efforts. But could not do anything because they had to finish the long planned thargoid plot line at this point. So they froze things.

It was just bad timing.

We have seen that this idea hooked enough of us to make changes. I say let's get Mother Gaia as low as we can, and keep her down for as long as we can.

What we need now is our own motivation. And more propaganda for the cause to motivate others. (Feel free to copy or crosspost this or make your own posts.)

I don't know if it will be for Triton, for Raxxla, just a galnet article or whatever. But I am sure we can tease out something there.

If you are interested, feel free to join the Independent Raxxla Hunters discord for conversation. (Public bulletin>Operation Sol)

Power Play is gangsters doing gangster shit. Come join Archon Delaine and be part of the Kumo Crew. Fuck all those little bitches undermining in solo, give your nutsack a tug.

E: give your lady nutsack a tug also. Play open, don't let the fear get you.

I'm still wanting ship interiors for boarding, but I dont think that's ever happening. Scavanging destroyed or disabled ships in space while departed from the vessel would be amazing. They could even add some horror element where there is something on the derelict inside the ship stalking you as you pick it clean of supplies and logs. Really give that Alien feel.

What would you guys wanna see?
