Just a qick tip yyou might find useful to the HUD colour changing. In your in game settings, turning down the HUD brightness gets rid of that orange glow under your HUD.

It has started working again, but I didn't change anything. I was doing some traceroutes and it looked like there was some last hop routing problems, FD uses Western Europe AWS to host their servers.

Extremist Leader Calls for Zero Tax Policy

Call Hagen, the leader of the League of Nabatean Defence Party, today called for a zero tax policy for citizens of the system of Nabatean at an impromptu rally.

“We citizens of the Federation are treated poorly compared to the progressive policies evident within the Empire. The Federation is older and stronger but our heritage is weighed down with the bondage of taxation. Let us learn from the strong leadership of Senator Patreus and his Imperial colleagues and ensure that our own society is not a burden upon our families.”

A spokesperson for the Workers of Nabatean refused to comment on what he described ‘the ravings of a mad man’. Ignoring the speech may be a mistake for the current ruling party as the opposition received a massive swing in support after the speech.

Sanna and Dulos Independence Movement News

In contrasting news reports from the Sanna and Dulos systems, reporters revealed the latest on the independence movements in those systems.

The Federal-supporting factions in the Sanna system are comfortably holding their ground and local commentators believe that their efforts to leave the Federation will soon collapse.

So the Board Owner is back, but he'd lost his password. I'm looking forward to this board getting a little more traffic! I think once the group system is implimented and we can form fighter wings and assault groups things will be much, much more interesting. As for now, what's everyone's prefered money making scheme? I of course favour Exploration. It's pretty fun and only a little challenging. I'd like if the profits were higher but I suppose that's what scanning black holes is for.

What about all of you?

Nah you don't need the warrant scanner to bounty hunt. Just scan a ship with your regular scanners and if it comes up wanted blast em. The Warrant scanner is only for other players and it allows you to collect bounty's from all the star systems they are wanted in. At least that is my understanding of this device, but you definitely don't need it to start bounty hunting.

Since getting a little more used to the game, what I was talking about before was the device that allows you to pull ships out of supercruise, I've figured that out by now~

I too am looking forward to this. Hopefully there will be an option for friendly fire, not for the casual reasons but because I hate trying to take down a bounty only to hit someone in my cross fire and get wanted.

When I was flying with my friends, to avoid things like that, we turned off 'report crimes against me.'

One of the things I'd like to try out is Co-op mining

Ideally, One person with a bunch of mining lasers

The other, flying and scooping/refining everything, fit with a bunch of guns to scare off pirates

No Single Player offline Mode then? Not a player 11/24/14 (Mon) 13:57:23 No.18 [Reply]

All threads discussing the topic have been closed and no new others are allowed to be created there.

But thanks to hotweels, we can discuss it here.

And I am under the impression that the players of this game have been lied to.

P.S.: I'm not a player, but I've been following this out of pure intereset, and I've come to the conclusion that you have to be *very* careful with kickstarter. You might not get what you want/expect at all.

CMDR WOOLIE 11/29/14 (Sat) 02:28:06 No.21

It is rather sad although being a backer myself I don't feel overly betrayed as it isn't really the hugest of take backs. From this removal I can see the multiplayer aspects of being online being upheld which I see as a good thing. The change forces immersion and risk into the game which is why I accept his change. Though I wouldn't be opposed to pushing for a single player mode that doesn't add to your online progress.

Not a player 12/01/14 (Mon) 02:15:00 No.22

Being an online game has it's advantages, but I found two (perhaps three depending on how you see it) valid criticisms.

1. Since you have to be online to play, what happens the day when FD turns the servers off? If they add offline mode in the event of the servers closing down, I guess that would be fine, but it's not mentioned yet.
2. With online mode only, it also means no modding (don't ask me why).

I saw a video about E: D on YouTube, and it did look like a nice game. Pity I can't play it unless it works with Wine and my hardware, but then I'd also have to enter the pay wagon, just like everybody else (which is fair).

Anonymous 01/11/15 (Sun) 01:53:40 No.43

I hope that if the company ever goes belly up that they release a final patch to re-enable offline solo mode.

Only gripe I have so far is that you can't quit the game mid-mission to do real-life things without being punished for it. mission timers continue whether you're playing or not, and markets move whether you're playing or not etc.

Anonymous 01/12/15 (Mon) 00:37:08 No.46

yeah, I was annoyed when the servers went down for like an hour when I had taken a mission, and when they came back, I'd failed and been penalized for it.

I figure this board is very very slow, based on not a lot of people. I'm new to this chan, coming here from half chan.
Was wondering, what are ways to imrpove my dog fighting skills? I'm struggling with staying on the six, and keeping my ships guns with non-gimbaled weapons in the correct fire zone.

Is it a matter of just eventually getting used to it?

I'm playing with Flight assist Off, because reasons.

And so far planned updates

Planned updates to the game include allowing the player to seamlessly freeform land on 1:1 scale planets[20] with cityscapes,[22] as in the last two Elite games Frontier: Elite II and Frontier: First Encounters,[7][9][23] and walk around in first person perspective[6][24] on entire surfaces of populated, living planets,[23][25][26][27] with wildlife and go big-game hunting,[23][28] with Braben wanting to ability to chase "big dinosaurs around".[29] Updates are expected to allow the player to drive vehicles around on the "huge great surfaces" of planets, and stash materials such as cargo there.[7][9][23][27][29] Other planned updates will allow Zero-G first-person shooter combat,[6] multi-crew boarding, the theft of other ships and other interactions with other players and NPCs inside ships[6][7][8][9][22][23][25] and the internal areas of space stations,[7][9][22][23][30][31] and space-walk around the exterior of ships to effect repairs.[31] Other planned updates will allow players to operate ships with multiple players,[23][29] and make available giant "executive control" capital ships to players.[9]

That's what I'm wondering. I didn't even think there were going to be planets you can walk around on and do stuff in when I first bought the beta lol.

I'm really hoping they add the big game hunting thing and do a good job on it, first person shooter mode would be amazing if they really do add it, I just hope it looks as good if not half as good as the beta so far.
