Elite Dangerous is currently on v2.4 "The Return" - now with more ayys. The 3.0 beta is now over and the next expansion named "Beyond" is on the way. It will be free to everyone who bought Horizons and aims to focus on refining core gameplay and new content.
Thargoids have now crippled all AEGIS-related starports in the Pleiades and are rumored to be headed towards human space. The starports are allegedly more difficult to repair than they were to build in the first place so don't expect them back online anytime soon.

They need to have all the GalNet articles available via GalNet radio. I don't understand what's so complicated about this, they're using text to speech so why not feed all the articles into it instead of just 5?

Also: GOG or Steam version? The steam version for X3 is $20.00 whereas the GOG version is $4.99. However, I'm not sure if there are extra features with the Steam version that make the increased price worth it.
Christian Lee
X fans were not happy with Rebirth so I'd recommend X3. Also the GOG version should have everything the Steam version does. In the case of the original X: the Threat, the GOG version has a borderless windowed fix the Steam version lacks which makes it superior.
Gavin Thomas
Thanks
Liam Stewart
You may want to skip Terran War and get X3: Reunion instead. It was the last of the X3 games.
Colton Parker
It's dumb, but on the bright side they've made it so you can pay off bounties through an IFC if your notoriety is low enough. No more stashing a throwaway sidewinder at every station near a conflict zone, but so long as you don't go on a murder spree you can pop over to a low sec system and pay your bounty off.
Nicholas Turner
> wanted status is applied to the ship, not you Just switch to another ship and go back in.

Justin Kelly
Enjoy never using that ship again.
Jose James
I'm in a wanted ship right now. It's only a problem if you dock at a station controlled by the faction that wants you, in which case you're locked out of everything except the black market. Docking anywhere else is fine.
Jayden Cox
Neither - go beams and multis
Aaron Cook
Supposedly they increased the amount of "accidental" friendly fire you can do to security before they get pissed off enough to put a bounty on you.
Julian Fisher
thats lame don't listen to this rube
Leo Bennett
rails are great for getting a powerful first shot off on an unsuspecting opponent, but the moment you're in a firefight with a real player they're fucking worthless unless they're flying a brick
Luis Hill
I haven't played E:D since launch, will I really be missing out on anything significant if I don't buy Horizons?
Caleb Adams
Just Engineers and the new ship(?). The new ship is great. Your mileage may vary with Engineers, however, as it's a grind no matter how many different ways Frontier tries to say it isn't.
Kevin Ward
ED being a good game finally killed off Scamcitizen.
Anthony Moore
Also you'll miss out on planetary landings and driving a buggy around on their surface.
Oliver King
Disregard this, as there's literally nothing to do planetside.

I've been searching for 2 fucking hours based on what fdev says material traders of manufactured materials are supposed to be. Industrial economy, but every single one I find is extraction also and it is always raw material traders. Has anyone found a manufactured material trader?
Adam Hill
>I'm a shit pilot Git gud and learn to rail in faoff, scrub.
Justin Campbell
New content patch, fgt.
Industrial needs to be the primary or only economy.
Caleb Sullivan
Right. The Industrial only economies don't have traders, and the industrial economies that have traders also have refinery, so raw material. There aren't any industrial only economies with traders and no way to search for industrial but not refinery economies
Brandon Wood

Fuck you. Shit disturbing around settlements is fun.
Brody Murphy
Has anyone flown from system to system just in supercruise?
Noah Sanchez
Doesn't work. The new system doesn't load in and you just pass the waypoint for it.
Isaiah Brown
You can't, even if you manage it the game won't transfer you to the new system because it uses hyperspace to load in the new system.
Nicholas Nguyen
Wouldn't the services filter tell you if there were any nearby?
Aiden Mitchell
It doesn't work.
Justin Reyes
Damn that sucks. But I get it.
Hunter Peterson
Does anyone know what the Guardian Vessel blueprint segment is used for?

Yes, but it's slightly less annoying.
Wyatt Jones
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Isaiah Cox
That's true. The QoL changes are definitely an improvement.
Sure thing, dad. Now go whine about how everyone wants things to be "easy" or "bearable" or "good".
Hunter Powell
Oh shit what did I just awaken?
Elijah Murphy

New guardian sites mentioned in Galnet.
Welp. Dropping shit on it works like in the goid bases.
Joseph Ross
I guess I can scan it. What's the worst that could happen?
Owen Fisher
Does it bother anyone else that humanity's reaction to every ayy is to shoot at it? Ok I know there was a war with the Thargoids back in the day but why are we shooting at the Guardians?
Anthony Evans
Wow. Okay. Yeah, that pissed them off.
Alexander Brooks
Hey they shot at me first. All I did was scan some shit.
Cameron Wilson
Yeah I know and you will get Guardian tech when you blow up that skimmer but it feels like such a MMO cliche and it's not even a MMO!
Nathan Watson
On a side note, scanning that orb seems to have woken up more of these obelisks.
Luis Gomez
is it just me or is fuel scooping radius increased now
Kayden Collins
Some of these obelisks are making spoopy knocking noises.
Adrian James
>some user thinks his shilling for E:D will have any effect on Frontier's portfolio and stock price Why won't you slag kikes accept E:D will be shit until at least Chapter 4.
Thomas Howard
What did the orb contain? I managed to get there with some user but I didn't get the chance to scan it.
Angel Bennett
Could you like stop RPing?
Christian Green
>like becky pls go
John Mitchell
a cracked industrial firmware, i'd wager
Adrian Price
Wow, what a find, CMDR! Can't wait to hear all about your adventures! Liked AND subscribed! Keep looking up! o7o7
Lucas Young
It gave me 1 unit of "guardian weapon blueprint segment" data, which is unlike most data sources that give you three units. It takes a handful of these to unlock guardian tech at a broker. Pic related, and note: effective against aliums.
James Hall
Found the cultist.

The guardian plasma weapon is similar but it fires a smaller shot if you stop charging partway. It also works on goids.

Ryan Cruz
Just how much did you spend on Star Citizen to be this mad?
Chase Green
I don't think anyone has any unlocked yet. You need at least 4 blueprints for even the cheapest tech.
Jordan Adams
Blueprints aren't the issue, it's the everything else.
Ethan Edwards
Those missiles they launch will actually go after your mothership if they can't get at your SRV. I took cover behind an arch, they broke off me and flew almost 1KM to slam into my ship. They do fuck-all to the shields but it's something to consider if you're running out here shieldless.
Andrew Bennett
Christ. Where are you getting yours?
Nathaniel Robinson
Go to the Ruins and cycle around the outside of the structure. Scan the active obelisks and then go ahead and board flip. Rinse and repeat and you'll be swimming in everything (except the fucking Epsilon patterns).
