They never gave another G5 0A after it to my knowledge, and swapped to 0C after which only takes 1.2MW(4.8MW) with a range of 4,950m(6,600m) and a scan time/angle of 10.5 degrees and 2 seconds.

It is a fun relic of the past and nothing more than a silly toy.

To celebrate the announcement of the Imperial Clipper's upcoming buff, I present to you my greatest ever organic PvP encounter.

I had come to do some bounty hunting in a backwater system with some freshly engineered frags installed on my clipper 'Black Beauty'. 

After collecting a handful of bounties, I was set upon by a rogue FDL who attempted to catch me with my metaphorical trousers about my ankles.

Ramming speed ahead.

I very much look forward to dusting off the old girl for a refit next week.

Once again the FOSS community continues to amaze me. Here you can see Elite Dangerous (Odyssey) running flawlessly on a device that not only uses a completely different architecture but also an OS that is, frankly speaking, garbage for Gaming. I neither expected the game to launch on the first try, nor it running exceptionally well.

Seriously, this thing is running at 120+ FPS in space on Ultra settings at a reasonable 1920 x 1248 resolution. Although the performance tanks a bit when entering space stations (60-80fps for me). Drop the resolution and settings a bit more, limit the frame rate, and you have a really efficient and capable mobile ED station.

Man, FOSS devs are different breed.

More information for those interested:

Running on a MacBook Pro M3 Pro using Highball as Wine helper (vibe-coded, works well enough; use CrossOver instead IF you have it). Switch to D3DMetal (important! Fixes long loading times, improves performance and memory usage substantially).

Spent all day, so roughly 6 hours at a compromised beacon, made 45 million in bounties killed god knows how many mostly Elite and Deadly wanted bad guys and my Master combat rating in Inara only went up like 4%....
Please tell me that the 4% was my total combat rating towards Elite and not just 4% towards the Master rank.
Jeez.

So there I was, already writing my ship's eulogy in my head. Hull on fire, alarms screaming, shields down and trying to recover while avoiding the ship's overheating, FSD charging slower than my internet during a thunderstorm. 0%... 12%... I was basically at peace with becoming space debris. Then, at the literal last second, the engine finishes charging and BOOM, I jump to the station like nothing ever happened. Saved myself a cool 33 million in rebuy and about 10 years off my lifespan from pure panic. CMDR retired today, legend tomorrow!

FIRST AND FOREMOST: I am aware of the ability to create a save file and have a backup of the controls saved.

I've played elite for years, I love elite and wish no ill will on this game, the developers or anybody that enjoys space shanigans.

but ho-lee-shite.

let me lay out some context here- I play using mouse, keyboard, standard xbox game pad and a thrustmaster T16000.M (throttle and stick) - I have controls all over the place. I'll spare everyone the intricacies of said controls- they span across all of the aforementioned. from FSS, to SRV, to planetary probe scanning, on foot combat / exobiology, menu shuffling, ship control, fighter orders.. all of it.

I went to log in earlier this evening (I had just played the evening before, all was COMPLETELY fine), but there was something askew.. my xbox game pad was not plugged in when I launched the game. I did not realize this at the time because I typically only use the game pad for the SRV and current shenanigans do not dictate the use of the game pad or an SRV, so I did not have it in front of me or even realize the game pad wasn't plugged in at the time of game launch.

the PHUCKERY that ensued in the following hour whilst trying to figure out what the problem was and by the time I realized the game pad not being connected was the culprit, ultimately resulted in me fumbling up my save file and I will now have to go thru and remap all of my controls across the perhiphials I use to play elite. this will take a FAIR amount of time across many scenarios in which I will have to try and muscle memory the controls back in order.

I know the "fix" is make sure your devices are plugged in when launching the game.. but I do have to ask- why does it have to be like this? why can't the controls and safeguards to the set controls be preserved by default when the game updates or happens to load without a connected perhpheral? a WARNING that a controller is not connected at launch would have saved me from all of this.

I want to play, but I've spent so much time trying to monkey with this that i've thrown in the towel for tonight. I WILL go in this weekend and remap my controls and make a new save file.. but I wish there was a better remedy to a simple mishap.

TL;DR - wish the game warned of a missing controller on launch if one has custom mapped controls across multiple peripherals. I also wish the game by DEFAULT preserved saved controls without manipulating the game files.

had to rant about this. I do feel a bit better now. if you made it this far, I appreciate the time taken.

My home system is sitting at the midpoint of Fortified. It's got metal rich and icy rings, so it's mineable, but it's not very fast. Maybe 100 tonnes of LTDs at the outside in an hour, or 300 precious metals.

Not any more. I found the holy grail, a six rig deposit of LTDs. 68 tonnes every six minutes. 680 tonnes in the hour I've set myself so I don't die of boredom. 17,000 merits, and when we go into boom it'll be MUCH more.

I'm hooked.

Something about this Class I gas giant just seems particularly appealing and beautiful so I thought I'd share it. 201.11 ems, an ice ring obviously (incl. Tritium hot spot) He content 26.18%. I think it is the contrast between the bright white waist/equatorial area and the soft brown nearer the poles, but it you enlarge you can see some more cool features. First there's the big storm which looks like an eye on the right, then the little curlicue storms in the middle, and also what looks like a triple overlapping storm group on the left, which probably is a storm at a lower cloud layer propagating up into two higher layers, or vice versa.

Decided to take the scenic route on the way back from Colonia to The Bubble.

Not sure if this is known already, but in the FSS the mouse gets slower the higher my framerate is. Tried capping at 60, 120 and 400 – at 60 it’s fine, at 120 it’s noticeably slower, and at 400 I have to move the mouse several times further for the same turn. Same mouse, same settings, only the frame cap changed.

Feels like the game scales mouse input by frame time somewhere in the FSS. Capping FPS while scanning works around it.

Anyone else seeing this?

For reference I'm reading the article here:

https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/elite-dangerous-october-dev-log-2026-law-disorder

750 tons is the claim. They also imply using an Optimized rack in the locked Class 6 slot.

So how is the math working out to 750 max?

• Size 1 Internals: 1 = 2 tons
• Size 2 Internals: 1 = 4 tons
• Size 3 Internals: 1 = 8 tons
• Size 4 Internals: 2 = 32 tons (unless using pre-engineered)
• Size 5 Internals: 5 (2 Military)
• Size 6 Internals: 1 (1 Cargo) = 64 (unless using Mk2 then 96 or Pre-engineered?)
• Size 7 Internals: 2 = 256 tons (128 tons x2 assuming not using Mk 2 as they aren't clear on what is supported)
• Size 8 Internals: 1 = 256 tons (again not clear if a Mk 2 will work)
• Max Cargo: 750

If Mk 2 is at play in anything other than the Class 6 slot I can't figure out if only specific of them to hit 750 tons.

Hoping the smarter minds can math this out for me (or someone seeing it in the non-prod, hee hee).

EDIT: Actually I think it maths out if the locked Cargo slot is NOT mk 2 capable. No pre-engineered are use and the Class 8 or both Class 7s take the Mk 2 cargo racks.

New cmdr here, 30 hrs in so far, having SO MUCH FUN!!! I have a friend that has been teaching me basics but I dont wanna bug him while hes working.. anyone have an invite to a discord where I can ask some questions somewhat frequently >.< I do my best to do research and find answers myself, but when I cant find them, its nice to have some quick replies... thanks yall

I love Mining. I really do. Even got myself the type 11. But what really anoyce me, is sometimes I send 3 to 5 searche Drones out and they get destroyed right outside the ship. Even if I nearly stop. I remember times with my T9, I drop them an they go, sometimes I crushed them when I was too fast, but then I just drift sideways when I send them. But now... does anybody else know that feeling? Or is it just me....

Edit: my english tiping today is really bad.... sorry for that

Added a bunch of secondary utilities/installations for security, farming, bio research and it didn’t help.

Hello Commanders !

I’d like to play in VR more and more often, especially thanks to the well-known EDVR patch.

I use VoiceAttack along with EDDI, which helps me overcome many challenges, though I’m still learning how to use them effectively.

That said, I always run into an issue whenever I need to head to a specific system. Normally, I rely on copy/pasting from Inara, but that’s very difficult when wearing a VR headset : I am far away from my mouse and keyboard, and it’s quite impractical to manage using VR controllers for copy/paste.

Is there a trick I’m missing ? Or perhaps some software I should install ?

Thank you, o7.

Getting it in a few days tops and I'm wondering if I'll be able to use it ingame. Unsure what I'd use it for as I have headtracking other than ffs and dss, maybe turret controls.

Can anyone give me a yay or nay?

If I can't I might eventually swap it out for a normal hatswitch

Im a full time student, a dad, and im in JST so idk how often I'd even be able to play with others. Was wondering how many other console players were still active? I recently got back into elite bc ive been playing a bunch of flight games on stick and a while back i heard you could move your stuff over to PC.

I wont be able to get a PC for at least another 2yrs, but figured I'd just prep a bit for the future, unless it gets shut down before then

Complete noob here (less than twenty hours).

When I look at a menu to open it, I feel like I have to point my head at the base of the menu and then swivel my eyes up to read it. I would much prefer the opposite: opening the menu without depressing my head so much, then look "down my nose" more at the contents of the screen. Is there a way to adjust the area that registers for these menus? I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually, but I feel like I'm doing lifting exercises on my extraocular muscles at this point, and its really contributing to eye fatigue.

I posted the question in daily questions, though I would elaborate more here.

I want to go on a extended exploration trip to Beagle Point, going counter clockwise around the galaxy, and make a circle/round shaped trip. I don't know if this is too ambitious, but I know for a fact that exploration is the one thing I enjoy doing in Elite Dangerous.

For the trip, I sold my Conda and Mandelay for a Caspian, and spent some ARX for the Nomad. The caspian is slightly engineered, with 68LY range and both Scarabs and Nomads. Here's the link to the Coriolis Builder https://sh.orbis.zone/1LQ8UudTEl

I'm not super familiar with Odyssey yet, so if there's any more things I can do, to either improve the ship's functions, or engineering that would increase the jump range, any advices are appriciated. Also, I would like to know how to aquire already engineered artemis suits, if that's a thing.
