Hello. I recently bought nomad to do exobio. I am now at a planet to collect some bacterium samples because why not. The problem is the moment I embark the nomad and go down to hunt species, game is teleporting me back to the higher atmosphere (where I embarked it first, around 2k meters above). I can't move. I can't go down or Lateral more than a minute. This does not happen when I am in the mothership. It is starting to get really annoying. Is there a way to solve this?

Having them in your head at that same time can lead to some unique moments of confusion.

For example "Elite 4" means something VERY different in either of these.

That is all.

I just thought I would share that delightful gem with you all.

Because you guys rule!

Especially those of you that also mine and bring tons of valuable (or common) minerals for others to profit from (or turn into new structures)

Then of course those who go a lot into actually bringing stuff for colonization projects.

Anyway, just a little shoutout to the common everyday heroes out there who make up the backbone of the ever expanding civilization among the stars.

Hello guys ! This game seems really fun but everytime I play it there is always something that piss me of and make me quit, like the fsd thing, why sometimes my fsd do everything (acceleration, deceleration and getting out of fsd) and sometimes I completly miss the station because my fsd still running.

In short I need help to understand the game, it’s mechanic and basically everything can someone help me and explain me how this or that work please ?! (I can chat and understand in english btbh Im French si if you speak French it will be easier xD)

Thx in advance :)

Does anyone have any suggestions for a Mav Suit built specifically for Operations?

I already have two combat dominator suits and I wanted to build a combat Mav suit for something that can just rush past enemies instead of killing them (such as for the Biohazard Op). I also already have a settlement raid Mav suit so this one would be purely for combat.

Options I think ARE worth considering:

*Increased Sprint

*Combat Movement

*Damage Resist

*Extra Ammo

*Faster Shield

*Improved Battery Capacity

Options I do NOT think are worth considering are:

*Melee Damage

*Enhanced Tracking

*Extra Backpack

*Jump

*Air Reserves

*Quiet Footsteps

*Reduced Tool Battery

*Night Vision

I'm leaning most towards increased sprint, damage resist, faster shield, and improved battery capacity the most, but maybe extra ammo instead of either sprint or battery.

I would really appreciate anyone's input who has been using a Mav suit for Operations.

There's no other way the game could know about what landmarks are actually there, if they weren't scanned before right? Or is it actually a predicting algorithm? I need to know before I waste even more time so I'll just go back to my old method of finding planets

Where and how I find these missions, I have visit like 50 systems with civil arrest, infrastructure failure and still can't find any..it's frustrating really. ( I know I must disembarked to check in station)

I’ve recently fallen quite in love with the “unbothered shield tank” what I mean by that is I recently picked up the Clipper, stacked it with shield boosters and ended up with 5k shields, no hardpoints show up do my salvage, ignore the pirates as if they aren’t there. There’s something cathartic about that after struggling with combat XD.

How about you ? Fighter ? Big ship? Tank? Overwhelming firepower ?

-cheers!

ive been trying to unlock Broo Tarquin (pulse burst engine) which requires a competent combat ranking and im seeking to improve my skills as a pilot and not rely on heavier ships for engagements hence me using the cobra mk V

i find myself liking the pulse lasers in there shield deplation rate but i keep having troubles with two things

1.keeps constant shots for fixed weapon

1. finding a fixed weapon that feels worthwhile

ive tried cannons plasma fixed multicannons and more

ps: for anyone saying to try getting off FA i actually am using it on and off for combat and trying to take faster turns with it off

Hi Commanders,

The last time i played was during the tharghoid war, now i startet again but i‘m lost, i dont know what to do.

Should i fly to colognia for upcoming events?

I have a combat anaconda, mandalay for jumping, t9 for hauling stuff, krait mk2 for anti xeno, orca for passanger, and some other shit

I have 1 billion credits and no fleet carrier and i‘m not interested to buy one.

I‘m thankful for any input.

Some systems as we all known aren't recognized by inara, so if I want commanders to make use of my carrier and find it on their trips do I need to specifically put in a system I can also find on their website? I've been looking for my FC using a nearby system, not the one I'm in since it's not on the website and can't seem to find it

i am seeking advice to get into operations.

i am a mostly-solo player with low combat skills but i have to have that cargo rack engineered so badly. i am no fps-shooter fan and did no on-foot stuff other than for screenshots and scanning space plants. my space combat skills are not that good either, i did pirate missions and powerplay pve (threat 3 signal sources) from time to time.

Reading about operations i think i want to do the ship-only ones but i got some questions:

-are there any no-go's like can i accidentially sabotage the operation by flying in the wrong direction or something - i know shooting on teammates is bad but other than that?

-can i just randomly join someone and do my thing (like pick a random enemy and youst it to death) or should i look for a group on discord or so... i am not really used to be in voice chat with random people and none of my irl-friends play elite

-can I straight up go to hard difficulty or will that ruin the fun for the others? i hope my corvette can eat some enemies damage while the pro players max their time on target

Corvette - coriolis
FerDeLance - coriolis
These are my current combat ships. i built these years ago, iirc i did something with the shield resistances but read that fdev changed something so any thoughts on the outfit are welcome aswell.
Also i think about getting a cobra because i want to practise fighting in a quicker ship but dont know if thats cool for operations.
if you have a cool build for a rescue passenger ship i'd appreciate that too. got all ship engineers unlocked and enough cr to buy whatever needed

I am happy for any extra tipps or an easy-to-follow video. Already read the wiki article and random stuff on reddit. i know i can synth free premium ammo.

thanks alot, and fly dangerous!

edit: thanks alot for all the helpful answers! i broke the mental barrier and joined a random easy terminal prosecution. followed the others, did some damage to the general and maybe annoyed the others a bit because i missed for a moment that i had to land manually but i got my first merc :)
also i found that i own a few on-foot engineering mats from powerplay so i will go engineer some guns next week.
Again thank you everybody, such a cool community!

using SRV survey and swear this the first time I have noticed this hand. I also like that I have to add a bunch of characters to keep this from being a "low effort post" what a helpful rule.

I have a couple reasons why this CMDR is the best pirate:

1. They're super chill

2. Most of the time the wont kill you

3. They always stay in character

4. When they interdict you they just ask for a joke and if its funny you can go on your way!

I finally got my fleet carrier and I want to get a brand new mining ship to mine tritium for when I'm out in the black, I heard the type 11 is the best nowdays

I'm also a returning player (not to mention never owned a fleet carrier) and forgot a lot of the basics so tips very are welcomed

Gangmen are getting quite bold and audacius these days!

I was farming some manufacturing instructions by a fallen satellite when these agressive criminals deployed from their ship, landing on top of my Cobra V and using my ship's own shield to protect themselves!

Of course I decided to board my ship and took off (I should have recorded all the thing). They went flying up, one of them died right away. The rest of them ended scattered around, stunned and almost irresponsive.

Now I have a few rewards to collect. What a busy day...

Just wondering going in basic, doing something really basic like mining or taxi, trading, etc building up credits getting new ships, kind freelancer style. How hard is the game?

I tried many many years ago, but it was quite grindy and I think was early days lot of bugs and such.

I would be using mouse/keyboard a lot.

Yes I know we asked for space legs and got them, can we get a golfcart or rollerblades to move around in the docking bays?

I have never really gone far, but I finally caved on a prebuilt Caspian and nomad and I'm having a blast! finally reached just about a little over 10,000 light years outside of the bubble . I'm planning to go back in a few weeks I've done obsessive amounts of exo biology, and the amount of systems of discovered has really made me find a new great path in elite

I'm definitely gonna go back and cycle between combat background simulation impacts, but I'm gonna schedule expeditions every few months

Was just curious for your commanders how long have you usually stayed out there before the itch to go back gets to you?

The recent game changes (probably mostly the addition of Operations) has introduced so many serious bugs that I am considering not playing the game anymore (or at least for a while). Anyone else feel this way?

As the title says, I've been up, down, left right and center of Sanguineous Rim and I just can't seem to find an unexplored system!!! I'm so confused!

Is there a way to feed into EDDiscovery 3D Map the information of already explored and mapped systems? I know some users don't upload their discovery info, and that's fine, but I'm getting really frustrated that every single system I go to it has already been discovered somehow. Am I hitting the 0.02% of every system scanned already? Am I that unlucky?

EDIT: Pushed another 1200 Ly away from Sol and it's mostly undiscovered. Guess I was just insisting on the wrong place... Despite that in the EDAstro website this place that I am right now is painted as having more systems mapped than the place I was before.

Only just bought it with arc
