Elite: Dangerous Gamma Discussion

New sounds. Charging FSD, banking in your ship, background radio chatter at stations.

HUD is more polished with a wider selection of target holo icons. FSD cool down now has an hourglass (bottom right in blue).

Adder appears to be a slightly bigger hauler - two weapons hard points instead on one, so slightly better.

Post any new stuff you see!

Adder 82K CR - Type 7 - 17mill CR. Both available near Chi Eridani.

I got my Cobra up to all A level last night (except life support). So I have 0.5MW of power left to play with for any gun upgrades. They are really depleting the rare items quickly now and also the sell price in stations where you also buy your next hold full of rare cargo is really low price. Solution, hop to one more station and sell it all for 15.5K CR profit!

They really have to get the launcher self updating .......

Finally reached home base and am docked in Guest Station. Rather enjoyed the journey, actually. Could be detailed surface scanner is the goal at the moment.

Well Played!

Score! Very nice reparte!

The comeback does have one falicy though - Star Citizen.
The kick-starter trailer had the words "Actual Game Assets Rendered in Real Time Engine". Blew my mind then, and still does today.

Mind, that video has convinced me that this weekend is my last mining.
Time to take my cobra and try my hand at exciting missions and whatnot!

Mining doesn't do it for me me either. I am in the middle of starting a civil war! in Van Maannen Star for the Religious Faction - Sublime! It's going slowly but I'll get there.

My comeback to Star Citizen is that in no way shape or form are the adverts for ships a true representation of gameplay, they're also cinematic trailer, I mean when most of the ads are created the ships are in concept stage. I'm not comparing kickstarters here, it's the marketing I'm talking about and they're identical in that they are not true gameplay and and are designed to reel in the pledges/ sales.

Talking with Vozard and Arcon this morning, I thought I would post this.

If you have a small ship with low cargo capacity, then Rare Commodities are the answer. First you need to make sure you have a Frameshift drive capable of 10Lyr or higher - you don't want to get stuck.

A route to take is from our home system of Zeta Trianguli Australis or it's neighbours, head for Toxandji and at Tsunaga Orbital buy "Toxanji Virocide" it costs a few hundred CR per tonne. It sells back here for 14-15,000CR per tonne. So a Sidewinder can make 60,000CR in a trip. That's a lot of trading (15 trips at 1,000CR per tonne).

If you are feeling adventurous, go from Toxandji to Eranin (Azeban City) sell the Virocide then, buy Eranin Whiskey then take that to Lave (Lave Station) and sell the Whiskey and buy Lavian Brandy then head back to Toxandji to sell.

Use your discovery scanner on the way to rack up cartography credits and stop every 50Lyr to refuel and sell the map data to fund the trip.

Doing the lap twice will raise enough cash to buy a Cobra Mk III.

Impossible to test today (not surprisingly). Continual disconnections and mismatched server events.:byebye:
Going back to earth to keep the joystick working on FSX.

[sulky_uk]

i wonder can i get the full version at 0001 on the 16th as im on merc now, or will I have to wait for all our cousins across the pond to jam up the servers first

[albert]

I had an hours play early (very) this morning before going off for a flight, and played Solo with no disconnections. Didn't find the 4 slaves I needed but hey, I believe they only fall out of pirate ships in cargo canisters lol!
