Next they'll have mobile phones and then there'll be all the crashes. Don't come moaning when you toast your ship because you were engrossed in a video.

I would be lying if I said that hadn't happened already. 19mill insurance and 10mill cargo hitting a planet surface whilst watching a video.

Tip: Mining, when you use prospector limpets to discover asteroid content, the resource yield is 3-4 x higher. I got 6 Painite out of 1 rock! 240K profit.

So was getting p!ssed off with not seeing Sn00ks in the wing last night and did some digging. Seems it's that old uPnP issue cropping up again. Even with uPnP enabled some users experience visibility issues in Elite.

I suggest everyone port forward UDP 5100 to the PC they play Elite on. Or if you have a good status view on your router for the result of uPnP check that UDP 5100 has automatically been added to the forwarding list.

I recommend every Elite player check this.

Maybe one point making your wing play erratic last night OB.

There is a file that needs to be added to the default Elite folder to over write the game default that forced on upnp.

Create a text file and call it AppConfigLocal.xml and paste the following lines into it.






Save it into this directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch\Products\elite-dangerous-64

Then add a port forwarder on your router to UDP 5100 to your PC. Of course you can choose any port number tht isn't in use on your system.

Sorry. I should have mentioned that I had read that article so had already created that file when I forwarded the port.

I've since stripped it all out as the problems I'm having leaving supercruise only started after I did the port-forwarding stuff.

Added a few links about compromised Nav beacons. Death in an instance! Major XP rewards.

This should help.

Quick money comes back to Quince!

Get a passenger module, get 5 more, go to Quince and if you are already allied with many of the local factions, take the mill CR at a time missions to the local ground base.
