All right fellas, after losing my password I am finally back.

I know this board is slow but hopefully we can get things moving with a add me thread.

Post your CMDR name and what star system you are in.

I'm poking around Atlantis right now, maybe I'll see you. I usually play at night (PST) when I'm a few drinks in. You may recognize me by my less than stellar landings during this time.

This is a board for the PC game Elite: Dangerous
====

Discuss, debate, make friends, make enemies, but just keep it related to Elite.

I don't have any rules so far so try and behave and act civil to one another. If some people begin to get rowdy I'll add rules and start banning, but I am hoping I won't have to do much of that.

The extra cargo space is for anything my bounty's drop other wise you don't really need any space, just nice when bounty's drop the occasional slave or gold.

I've looked around and people seem to agree on High Tech with Refinery systems are the best for mining

I'm heading over to Njikan, but thinking about going to HIP 16607

Looking in at the port, the station always spins anticlockwise. To find the port by looking at the station, curl you right hand's fingers towards the palm. if your fingers curl in the direction the station is spinning, then the port will be where your thumb is pointing.

Also, the docking port of the station is, as far as I can tell, always pointed towards whatever the station is orbiting, so if you drop out of supercruise between the planet and the station, you'll come out pointed at the docking port already.

Oh my, Why not just make it so when you exit super cruise you are already pointing towards the entrance, just a minor annoyance when you're on those time critical missions.

Exit supercruise between the station and its planet/body and you will face the entrance.

Neutron Colonization Project Dreamer 05/11/15 (Mon) 00:19:19 No.102 [Reply]

There's an earthlike planet orbiting a neutron star in the Clookau sector.

I bet if enough commanders turned in data for it, Frontier would colonize the thing. It could become the farthest, most bizarre outpost of humanity.

Conflict Zones Anonymous CMDR 03/30/15 (Mon) 21:26:59 No.98 [Reply]

There's a civil war in Kunti right now with an Imperial dictator faction on one side, independent anarchist faction on the other. The anarchists are called the "Dragons of Kunti"!

This board might get more traffic if it hosted lists of current conflict zones around the galaxy. There's a tracker application I found, but I couldn't update it with the Kunti conflict when I tried. So where are some good fights? Galnet seems to like reporting on conflicts that the playerbase gets involved in.

Anonymous 03/30/15 (Mon) 22:23:15 No.99

There's also some conflict going on in Kini.

One thing that might make this board more active is if someone can summarize or keep us abreast of the goings on in the game story.

I found this write-up on reddit. 20 days old, but not outdated just yet.

Of course, I suppose I'm not exactly helping THIS board be active much by linking there.

I hope all you merchants out there are helping Senator Torval beat Aisling Duval.

Don't disappoint an anon loyal to true Imperial ideals; go to the Synteini system, Lagerkvist Gateway in particular, and shove slaves in for the community goal.

You can get slaves in Afli, which is only a few jumps away. Reinhold Orbital is the place you want to be there.

Now go kick the ass of that brain-dead hippy and her drunkard father (and make a few chits out of it at the same time). Otherwise we will never hear the end of it, and the Empire will slowly transmute into a companion state of the muesli-dribbling Alliance.

Lave has cancer. CMDR Woolie 03/14/15 (Sat) 01:29:11 No.83 [Reply]

TEST Mostly harmless

This reddit loving bunch is cancer in it's purest form where gaming communities are concerned.

Lave, being the center of many commanders needs be it trading or player based interactions etc etc has been targeted by this group.

They occupy the systems in the area in the name of "protecting innocent players from baddie pirates out to steal your cargo." In return all they ask for is… Your cargo. I'll check back in a day or so and depending on the ammount of replies to this thread we could schedule an operation to sabotage their operations. I've got a small group of willing players from a local community already willing. We just need large enough numbers to take them on.

Also how would you guys like to start a chan steam group for the game, it's likely we'd have to unite with the cuckchan commanders and possibly source in some commanders from the russian chan but its a necissary alliance.

Who's in?

Anonymous 03/20/15 (Fri) 05:28:21 No.93

I wouldn't mind fucking up some shit around Lave but right now I'm kind of indisposed exploring for fame and shekels.

However I should have enough by the time I get back for Vulture so perhaps we could arrange something.

Everytime I the last 2 days the START menu option is red, and it says disconnected in the bottom left hand corner, can't read it properly because It's displayed through oculus rift.

I'm only considering buying the rift because of this game. Will be nice having it for others as well but I imagine the level immersion that the rift would add to an already immersive game would be amazing.

It is pretty chill, helps in fighter ships in dogfights to be able to look up and track your target while you're in a sharp turn

They're really listening to the community about the game too. They reduced the ovver priced ship costs, made bounty hunting viable too. I love it.

Anonymous 03/14/15 (Sat) 10:31:09 No.84

they let the community wishes kill the game, now t6 trading is less profitable than just bounty farming in RES (hunting lol), who will trade? then what do pirates do, since bounties are not pirateable
we got a space shooter in the end

Anonymous 03/14/15 (Sat) 18:27:18 No.85

>>84
Possibly, but the other possiblility is that with a working supply/demand feature there will be less people trying to trade to get money which means less fluctuations in supply and demand which means that it should favor those with large cargo holds. What I mean is that since everyone's not flooding the market trade routes won't go to shit as fast.

CMDR Woolie 03/19/15 (Thu) 06:00:44 No.89

Dont jump the gun here. Bounty hunting was made viable. Regarddless of its effects on trading. If it becommes statistically apparent trading isn't making people enough money it will be rebalanced or bought to the same levvel as bounty hunting.

Anonymous 03/20/15 (Fri) 03:56:52 No.90

Yeah, I dunno. I like the bounty hunting funding boosts. But I am not sure about the ship prices, I would have liked adjustments to trading instead, but I guess that's a harder fix.

Whatever. I'm glad I waited until late v1.1, things seem to be shaping up.
