had an error for it yesterday. The planet was reflecting through the station which was inbetween the ship and the planet

Interesting... I wonder if this will work for the Vive.

Whoah! That's a badass infection. I had it when i was really, really young and still remember the coughing and the concern on my mum's face. Get well soon, space cowboys!
That's no joke! Hope you guys feel better soon and that #5 makes it out unscathed.
Hey thanks. I'm just glad I dont have a job right now (just moved across the country). Been going on three weeks of super sick myself.
Number 5 is my wife who had it as a kid.
Ironically if it weren't for having this I probably wouldn't have gotten as in to Elite Dangerous as I have.

Okay, I'm reading that 2.2 just might have finally fixed the very old bug preventing paint wear and tear from working on most ships. If this is true I just might buy a skin pack from the Frontier store to thank them and celebrate. I hated that my Asp traveled 210,000 lys around the galaxy and came home looking brand spanking new....
Nice! I wondered about that, because mine never showed any sign of looking old. Once it's fixed when we apply a paint job after a long trip will it look new again?

Only their site, pretty sure they do take PayPal.
I was able to purchase a pack through steam with my account funds.
Oh. Going have to try this out. Thanks.

I see a -33% discount on Steam right now. Is that a sale or is it a discount for owning something? I see no information regarding this, and no countdown on the store page.

Unless you're suck on Anniversary W10, you won't be disappointed. Anniversary has some weird bug where borderless windows mode shows the windows launch bar at the bottom of the screen with OnTopReplica open. It's not an issue in Win7/8/vanilla10.

Ah shit . Hope they release a dedicated win 10 ver
It was the first time I've seen a wing of 3, so it caught me by surprise. I usually submit to interdiction and boost away without issues but they warped in way too close and opened fire very quickly.
AND repair all doesn't repair paint!

This is a big deal!

Yeah, it's a little thing that was a big deal in the past. It certainly does seem like Frontier is not only listening to community feedback more than ever, but actually acting on it too. So many little but great fixes and improvements that have been thrown into 2.2 that it's honestly surprising to me, lol.

This probably wouldn't be as effective with cmdrs but I am finding mines great. My anaconda has just a couple missiles, lasers and mine launchers as I'm trying to max jump range of course. Last night got interdicted and mines annihilated the NPC shields so I actually swung back to finish him. He was in a fed gunship . Never even broke my shields

I guess I'll replace my Anaconda with the Beluga as soon as the Beta ends if they keep the specs or improve (as in remove at least one internal restriction) them.
This does not look bad at all:
And with the massive fuel tank it is the perfect long range vessel with style.

Hoping for a 2.0 -> 2.2 performance bump, but I feel like beta players would have already mentioned that. Maybe with later patches?
Caesar III

It's a bump in the wrong direction actually. The new graphics settings and enhanced stations come with a cost.
RadioactiveLobster

The current beta performance though has to be a bug or issue because I get FPS going from 20's to 140's all the time in the beta.
I hope they get that ironed out before it launches though as it's basically not playable with it constantly going crazy and stuttering like that.

Starting to mess more with the engineers, at Felicity's base now. Where was the guide to find materials for upgrading? I need to locate some sulfur.
RadioactiveLobster
Member
Sulfer is one of the most common materials out there. You'll find it just about everywhere on planets.
You can also get it as a mission reward.
You can use EDDB.IO's Bodies search to look for nearby planets (put the system you are at in the "Reference System" box) and search for one with a high percentage of Sulfur.
You can also use the system map to search since you can see the percentages on planets that have been detail scanned or you have data for.
So the HOTAS (Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS 4) came and I've been messing around with it this evening. Took a while to find some bindings that worked but ED had it listed so I didn't have to bind to many things. Still finding myself using the keyboard but oh well. I wish I could get Voice Attack to work properly but I've never been able to. Granted it wasn't a lot of money but wish I could take back that purchase.
Flying feels better but I'm not sure if it's having a throttle now or just because the joystick itself feels better in general over my Extreme 3D Joystick. I was having issues with it off and on for a while now. Maybe I just needed to buy a new one and kept on using the keyboard?
I'm not really feeling that much of an improvement over using the throttle and buttons over just having my left hand on the keyboard. The only true thing I'd put over at the moment it is being able to increase and decrease speed fluidly. That's better then pressing the keys but it was easier to use lateral and vertical thrust with the keyboard. From there I could easily hit a number of keys for chaff, supercruise, etc. I'm not liking the placement of the rocker (I think that's it) or the buttons. I want to take take it into combat to see how that feels and I might do that tomorrow.
After I try combat out I'll make my decision if I want to keep it or return it and just buy a new stand alone joystick and keep using the keyboard.

I do not consider the recent 1070 superclocked an old build though
For me it is worst when entering a system. After this it gets better. Seems like a streaming error of some sort. The game is running off of an ssd though
Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a shot.
No one does.

These ranks are no joke. I just got to Chief Petty Officer, so I can at least get the FAS. I want to get that corvette, but rear admiral seems so far away
I honestly dont even know what ship I want next. Ive been flying my ASP X for so long it kind of just grew on me, plus I still have a few upgrades I want to do on it. What Im thinking is Ill go for the dropship next then finally the corvette.

Any Vive support improvements noticed in the beta?
I crashed my conda on a planet yesterday. Feelsbadman. I didn't think I was going that fast but bam.
The grind wouldn't be so bad if each rank gave you something aside from a permit to a system with (usually) no real benefit to going to that system.

This seems a bit much to me (I'm a bounty hunter/pirate), if they are no longer affected by shields then they should be affected by point defence as well as ECM or if they aren't affect by point defence they should be affected by shields and only ECM (it should be one or the other).
Or they could at least do something like, they can bypass a shield but due to shield interference on the hatchbreakers radio signal to the home ship the time to break the hatch is increased (this would go back to normal if the shields go down).
I was ranking up to get a corvette myself, then the beta started and i tried an A graded one - i no longer want a corvette (just don't like it at all) and as such am not worried about ranking up anymore
.Shame really as i would love for the Anaconda to look like a Corvette, the ship is fantastic looking and its bridge view is just lovely.

Watch all the tutorials videos, play the tutorials. You'll get a good overview of the basics by doing that.
All the tutorials are being redone for 2.2 as well. Even I plan to redo them once 2.2 drops and I have hundreds of hours in the game.
There are also a lot of good community made videos explaining the basics. Some are out of date and things in the game have changed but most will give you a good idea of the basics.
There are loads of great community made tools/sites out there to use as well.
