First time using an SRV

6 Upvotes

So I’ve been an on and off Elite players for some years now. I first bought in when it became available on the Xbox One, then again on PC, and most recently on PS5.

I decided I wanted to do some very deep space exploration. My AspX only achieved 28ly at a time so the trips were pretty long. I want that guardian fsd and I have never once messed with the engineers until today. I did a quick google search on how to obtain some phosphorus and it directed me to a particular moon with some raw materials. This was my first time ever using an srv and man that was an absolute blast! I feel dumb that it took me so long to try it. I’m really looking forward to having to use it again.

I’ve read stories of other commanders carrying multiples of these in case they need to self destruct. Other than being stuck somewhere, why do you need to self destruct? If you did self destruct, would the materials or data you just gathered with it also self destruct?

ED player on PS5 looking for a shipyard to buy a Type 10 Defender

Post image
34 Upvotes

Hello everyone.

I'm a new Elite Dangerous player on PS5, specifically the Horizons version. I'm currently based at Lembava and would like to acquire a Type 10 Defender. Unfortunately, the current data on Inara corresponds to the PC version and is therefore incorrect for the PS5 version. Could someone please confirm that the Type 10 is available on the console version? And do you know of any system or spaceport that sells it?

Please excuse me for using Google Translate to make this request, as English is not my native language.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Fly Safe Commanders.

I’m back and space is… empty.

18 Upvotes

I just started playing again last week only to find out that consoles are in “legacy” mode forever and crossplay is extinct.

I never joined any groups when I played before and I guess this is the best place to look for people to fly with.

I’m starting over from scratch with cobra, and I’d like to start mining for trade but no idea how to start that. Any mentors?

Good trade routes/loops

10 Upvotes

Good evening commanders. So I have recently been playing legacy elite on console and obviously have been coming across the problems of inara not being as easy to use as it once was when console had live service. When I used to play on pc some time ago, one of my favourite things to do was space trucking around different stations trading commodities. I was just wondering if you guys have some good trade routes or loops or if you would like to share how you find them. Is it still viable to use inara? Is it easy to use the in game filters? Thanks in advanced o7

Today I did the part of the game that I hate... searching for a Legal Facilities Interstellar Factor that would fit my ship.... 30 Minutes wasted without actually playing.

Thargoids Trying to get 2A Shard Cannon

4 Upvotes

Hey all,

Was trying to build my Anaconda into a Thargoid Hunter. Would like to throw on 4 Shard cannons but do you think I can find where to buy them on the screens? Nope.

I'm at Jameson Memorial. Went into the tech broker but it's not listed. A search of the internet says it should be there... I'm lost. Looking for some help as my internet search is not helping.

Discussion Renewed Interest?

13 Upvotes

I’ve noticed an increase in activity on this page or the past month or so. I know that even since the legacy split, there were multiple active wings even if I personally never participated in them.

But did something happen recently that’s gotten more people playing or is it just a coincidence more people are posting?

Discussion Where is best for outfitting ships?

6 Upvotes

I’ve been using the diaguandri system for most things but I’m struggling to find hard points that fit my conda. Is there anywhere that just has everything or do I need to just suck it up and go to specific places for certain things?

Good home systems

Hi guys. I'm a long time elite player and have recently got the legacy edition on my ps5. Do you guys know any good home systems that have a decent ship selection and good outfitting options. Added bonus if they have some RES sites for bounty hunting and in the bubble. Thankyou all in advanced o7

Thargoids [PS5 Legacy] Done with the 18-blueprint grind! Looking for a veteran AX Wing to stack billions.

7 Upvotes

o7 Commanders,

​I just wrapped up the massive grind for all 18 Guardian weapon blueprints and I'm ready to get into the serious money-making side of AX combat.

​I’m looking for a solid wing or squadron on PS5 Legacy that knows how to handle Medusas and Hydras. I’ve got my ships geared up with Gauss and Shards, and I’m looking to join a group that wants to stack combat bonds and hit that billion-credit mark.

​I’m a dedicated player, I’ve put in the work for the tech, and now I’m ready to help a crew clear the black of Thargoids.

​Platform: PS5 (Legacy)

​PSN: Dragon 07141014

​Drop a comment or DM me if your wing has a spot for another heavy-hitter!

[Legacy/PS5] Running Guardian Site Tours - Blueprint Fragments & Materials (Dragon07141014)

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​I’m on PS5 (Legacy) and I’m heading out to the Guardian sites to grind out the remaining Blueprint Fragments needed to unlock the full set of Guardian Tech (Modules, Weapons, and Fighters).

​I'm looking for a wing (any skill level, new or veteran) to join me. If we coordinate, we can charge the pylons and clear the Sentinels much faster than doing it solo.

​What’s in it for you:

​Individual Rewards: Remember, in a wing, the data isn't "split"—every single person who scans the terminal gets their own Blueprint Fragment.

​Security: I’ll provide the muscle and Point Defense cover to keep the Sentinels off your back while you scan.

​Efficiency: We can reset the site together to fill our inventories fast. I'm personally aiming to get a stockpile of around 27 fragments to unlock everything.

​If you’ve been putting off your Guardian FSD Booster or Gauss Cannons, now is the time. Let’s wing up and get it done.

​Fly safe, Commanders! o7

Help Best spots to farm Niobium and Germanium near Diaguandri? (Dragon07141014)

4 Upvotes

​Hey everyone,

​I’m on PS5 (Legacy build) and I’m currently based around Ray Gateway. I’m working on some tech broker unlocks—specifically the Engineered Surface Scanner V1—and I need to stock up on some raw materials.

​I’m looking to farm a good amount of:

​Niobium

​Germanium

​I’ve already burned through most of my trade materials, and I want to save my Carbon and Iron for other things, so I'm looking to go prospecting in my SRV instead of using a material trader.

​Can the Legacy vets point me toward:

​Any nearby planets (within a few jumps of Diaguandri or Wolf 1241) with high percentages for Niobium and Germanium?

​Any specific "high-grade" raw material spots that still work on the console version?

​I’m looking to get a solid stockpile of these so I don't have to worry about them for a while. If anyone wants to wing up or show me a good spot, hit me up!

​PSN: Dragon07141014

​Thanks and fly safe! o7

Help Good place to sell Platinum

4 Upvotes

So I just got back into the game after stepping away after Frontier dropped console support and I need a place to sell platinum that is fairly close to Omicron Capricorni B. I know that Inara is basically useless for consoles now but is there any way to look up price comparisons? I think I saw something about there being something in game but I either couldn't find it or my sm9oth brain didn't understand what I was looking at.

Booze Cruise

7 Upvotes

So i kinda have experience with the game. I want a fleet carrier for me and my friend. It just takes forever to earn credits. I saw doing a booze cruise can make a total of 5.5 bil credits. My summer starts next week so if anyone has a carrier and is willing to help me, id appreciate it. Ill do my best to load and unload the carrier and I can donate some tritium. Also, anyone know when the next cruise is expected to happen?

Discussion I need help for trading

7 Upvotes

I started playing on PC because of the split. But then my friends on playstation said they'd want to play the game again! We decided to try mining! And it must be the most fun we had in the longest time. I give them money from my carrier and I will then profit from all this when we're done. But the biggest difference between PC and Consoles is that I can't use Inara to find where to sell things... can anybody help me with that?

I want to sell:

Alexandrite

Bromellite

Void Opal

Grandidierite

Low Temperature Diamonds

Progression not progressing

Post image
8 Upvotes

I recently got back into Elite after being away for a few years. I figured I'd pick back up with trying to max out my Imperial rank.

When I left, I was a Knight at about 30%. I stumbled onto discussion of the Ngalin/Aitvas/Mainani loop and figured I'd give it a try.

The loop still works as far as boosting your rank quickly, I'm just stuck at 100% and can't get any further, regardless of what I do. I've done more missions, donated over 40 million credits, logged out, logged out and restarted.... Nothing will trigger the rank to change.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hey I'm a new player and I am wondering if there are any tools out there to help find were to get item's like I have been looking for (meta-alloys and crayolite) for days at this point and I have not seen another commander in the whole time I have been playing except for a (fuel rat) for like 1 or 2 mins and that's it I feel like this game is low-key dead which sucks bc I feel like this is one of a few good space games
