They just need to do a better job setting up spawns at RESs. Maybe on population, RES quality (rich/poor metal/ice), etc.?
Becausing logging out and back in is like 100x faster then that? Unless your computer is hot garbage I guess.
It literally takes maybe 10 seconds (20 if you have to wait 15 sec to log). You just exit to main menu and hop back in. The load back in is practically instantaneous.

Yeah I agree, when I was bounty hunting in instances the best way I found to reset them was to simply log out and back in again. It might not be as much fun, but it's more efficient.

I'm almost at 8 mil for the Lugh event which was enough for 5% last night but I'm going out of town for the next few days so I expect that to drop significantly. I hope it's enough to stay in the top 15%.
Try that Apam Napat or whatever it was in that vid I posted. It's reasonably close to Lugh - maybe 80 ly? It has 3-4 RES's that are really close to stations. I've always had good spawns there too.

Just wanted to post, I got a vulture and its the best thing ever yadda yadda
What I found while trying to deal with the shit energy levels of it is that, I was able to get about 5 sec. of fire from dual C3 Gimballed beams.
However, when I disabled one, I got closer to 20 sec of fire from one (instead of the expected 10 sec)
So running with one you actually get more DPS than running 2
I leave the 2nd disabled unless things turn dire or something, one is enough for my needs farming Operation Dullahan

Joystick came in the mail today, and HOLY SHIT this completely changes the game. Started flying around some mining sights and racked up over 100K in credits in 2 hours. The flight controls are so damn smooth. Can't wait to buy my next ship and start some bounty hunting and saving up for a good ship to explore in.
What's a good ship to buy after the sidewinder that will allow me to have enough cargo space to trade but also be able to fight?

First "goal" stop on my voyage today.. made it to Betelgeuse!
Ship's still in perfect shape, I haven't yet figured out how the folks in those videos wind up flying ships barely holding themselves together, cracks all over the canopy, etc. I have a field repair unit, but it's been collecting dust so far. Fine by me.
Although I did get uncomfortably close to this one in scanning its closest planet. Even in that picture, you can see the vents open on the top of the ship (it's that long slit right down the spine), dumping the excess heat. Those are normally closed, and I'm not really all that close to the star.. it's just really big. The first supergiant I've come across.. even while "far away" at the outermost planet, it still dominates the sky.

I play ED with my dad - he's 60, I'm 30. As he is retired, he has so much more money than me! So he's rocking a spec-ed out Python, with about 150 million credits in assets.

Finally ticked over to combat rank Expert after being stuck at Competent for what seemed like an eternity!
Streamed some footage of me fighting in the Lugh system last night if anyone's interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVNQvIqKTSk
You can actually see when I notice my rank changed to expert because I do a double take at the right menu.

Look at the shipbuilder website to see the costs of the modules you want.

I lost two Type 6s and one 7 to homicidal CMDRs who called themselves pirates.
I was fully compliant and everything.
GET A REAL JOB, MAN.

Friends and I are headed to Lugh. I'm 80ly away!
Also, here is an awesome Android app for ship controls. Some of it is certainly redundant if you have HOTAS all set up, but still cool:

Also, I love this (via Reddit, again):

Kvk1 beat you to it, six posts up or so.Also, I love this (via Reddit, again):
I may not be getting the joke, though? is it a reference to anything in particular or is it simply humorous due to the juxtaposition of newbie questions in a serious looking frame? Does it look like some particular movie poster maybe?
It's a cheeky response to the influx of kitchy "faction propaganda" posters in Reddit the past few days.

Bought this a couple of hours ago. So lost.
Parked in front of a star in solo mode. I picked up a bounty a couple of solar systems away from my starting point. Had enough trouble getting there. Found the main star for the system, but nothing else in it.

Explain what you mean. One of the assassination missions from the bulletin board? Has a crosshair icon? The system you're in either has nothing else in it or you don't have the system data for it. You can go into the galaxy map and attempt to purchase the system data from there. Missions other than strict trading/message delivery all revolve around unidentified signal sources. So if you're in the destination system for that mission, start checking USS's.
I had 31% of my ship left but my thrusters were disabled in the fight and I just started drifting. The enemy changed targets or got picked off. So I have a 15 minute oxygen timer or whatever but I can't do crap I'm just spinning in space. For 15 minutes. So I self destructed. I didn't know about repair modules so I'm the dummy.
I just lost about 1 million in bounties. Sucks but I learned about a new module and I'll never not target a subsystem from now on.
Also though I will say there needs to be a mechanic to manually fix subsystems. That or being able to eject and drop a distress beacon in the middle of the, oh...10-12 System Defense ships on my radar.

You could have done an emergency reboot to fix them.
There is. I would assume it's under your right panel menu (haven't used it myself)
You basically canabilise other components to fix the busted one
lol
Reading fail for me. I'm a dummy. I didn't even see the menu item when I went to Self Destruct. It's like, right on top of it in the menu. Oh well, live and learn. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you. It's an assassination mission with a crosshair icon. I have the system data for that system in terms of the two stars and a gas giant in the system. It's an anarchy system. I'll try to find a USS; I'm in the destination system, but I didn't notice anything on my radar.
If you are new to the game I would strongly discourage attempting the 130k+ assassination missions. Your target (assuming the mission doesn't glitch out) is in an elite anaconda and can and will 1 shot your sidewinder.
USS won't show up on the radar, you'd have to keep your Navigation panel open. Anyway like Shifty says if you're in a Sidewinder trying to take down an assassination target, you're in for some pain.

Haha, I spent about 2 hours today walking a coworker through the game and configuring his HOTAS, showing him how to do everything.
Good luck!

Yeah, I happened to coincidentally run into a pirate that killed me not long after.
Edit: Goddamn pirates. Another one got me as I carried scrap from one system to the next one over.
Figuring out the left and right panels made things a lot easier though.
Man I love Apam Napat. Other than the very bottom bounty, which I've had for about a month now, this was the result of an hours worth of bounty hunting at the RES. Constant stream of anacondas, pythons, clippers and dropships. I was at 600k after just 10 minutes!
Vulture setup used for it I should probably ditch the A grade FSD when sticking to the one system for hunting though - might be able to pop another shield booster on instead.
