Ever since Update 16 gave us nothing new that isn't War-related except magnetic sippy cups at low-grav outposts, I've become disillusioned and very much disappointed in E:D and especially FDev. However, on the other site, whenever I post any comments that give any sort of criticism towards E:D or FDev, I get chastised and ridiculed. It seems that, now, the general consensus is that FDev can do no wrong and E:D is the greatest game ever. I don't agree, I think they both have a lot wrong with them, and this is coming from someone with over 800 hours put into the game and who loves it to death. I guess I was wondering if this place is as much of an echo chamber as the other place, or if I can truly freely air my opinions on certain things about E:D and FDev here

I have picked a mission to kill a pirate. I had to go scan a fuel thing on a planet, and it sent me to this location in a different star system. When i get there, and exit hyperspace at the location, nothing is there. I get a warning that System Link Error: Security response unavailable

But i see no targets. Is this mission broken?

Btw does anyone also have problems to create a post via browser in this community? I have to use liftoff on android, on pc (no matter of browser) it will stuck at the circle animation when clicking post.

Hey CMDRs! I'm pretty much brand new to the game. I've dipped my toes into a handful of the games systems (hauling, mining, combat, salvaging), and started making credits a few million at a time to upgrade my ships. I'm starting to feel a little lost in terms of overall goals, though; just building up my wallet for the sake of it is losing its luster. What kind of goals should I be looking at to work toward?

This post made at 1200c en route to Lunan Holdings. Nobody warned me.

The galaxy is enormous and barely explored but it feels so dead lately. Especially after the Legacy/Odyssey split. I keep checking my 'recently met' tab and barely anyone ever pops even if I'm running through major systems. Then most of the ones I do see don't respond to messages or are going about it solo.

I'm just lookin for some friends so I don't feel so damn alone

I present to you, Flyiedge AB-Q C8-21 7. I’ve come across a handful of ELWs before, but this was my first FD. Just had to share it somewhere.

PSA: If anyone is seeking for a good place for meta-alloys, HIP 17862 11e in the Pleiades has a Thargoid structure with 9 "organic structures" that yield them. 5 near and around the central structure, 2 on the slopes immediately around it and another 2 farther out counter-clockwise from the "leviathan" near the "bones" surrounding the central pit (a bit tricky to find; scouting from air with night vision helps).

There might be better places, haven't scouted many, but of the handful I have, this has the most. The nearest inhabited system is 10 ly away.

tldr: any advice for ingame controls with an android tablet?

Hey, last time i played ED was about 4 years ago and i remember using an android app named panels for a custom button layout usable via an browser. Since time went by and a lot of data loss happened, i’m on a search for an proper android control panel.

At the moment i’m looking at gameglass but i dislike the whole payment and account thing. Also GIC (Gaming Interface Client) from Terence-D looks promising but it’s 2 years since the last update and i haven’t found any good layouts.

Are you guys using something like this or have any tips where to look? Anyway thanks for your time reading this^^

Have a nice day, cheers

Edit: After looking and trying around for 3 days i came to a conclusion:

Game Glass: is the easiest to install and offers 2 layouts for free. BUT you need an Account, it's not running locally (privacy concern) and it's only subsciption based not buyforlife. For my taste the layouts so called shards are a little bit too busy.

EDDiscovery: easy to install and have everything your hearth may desire. You can use it on the same device or locally via browser. But for myself it's overkill in any way and the remote controls feels clunky and not so nice. Totally recommending this for everyone at least to try.

Macro-Deck: free and open-source, easy to install and use but i'm still figuring out how to set up all the buttons. Has also a web client (sadly atm still need internet for client-id but it's on the todo list), a handful of good plugins, it's definitely worth a look. And the best of all, it's not abondonware. This is my pick for now.

Do you dream of visiting Colonia, but don't have the time? Would you make the trip, if you didn't then have to scoop and jump all the way back to the Bubble? The Fleet Carrier Owners Club will convey you effortlessly across these vast distances. Find your ride, dock before the departure date and time, and leave the rest to them.

I needed more space between the halves and saw a youtube video where someone has opened one up a there are 15 through wires plus a ground. Digging though my box-o-cables I remembered that I had a bunch of old HD15 VGA cables that would make great extensions so I spliced HD15 ends and tried it out.

Turns out that VGA cables are not 15 lines through, but bond several pins together. Damnit. A true HD15 serial cable is now en route and I'll get to test out my extension...hopefully by this coming weekend.

I've just managed to get the larger backpack modification and the increased sprint duration (bigger pockets AND lungs!) This has been a game changer for me; it saves so much time. What were your game changers in suits and guns?

Landed and waited for the other planet to wash over the ship. It was moving at a freaky fast speed! Also no you can't simply drive an SRV from one planet to the other, tried it.

I just thought I should upload some pics. Don't mind the pixels, steam is being weird with screenies for some reason

I'm currently deciding if I want to make a mamba build, do some Frontline to unlock an engineer, or join the latest gold rush (Don't need the money, but had huge fun back when AXI discord was very active/social with 16+ people in an instance)
