Elite Dangerous is currently in Chapter 1 of the Beyond expansion, patch number 3.0.4. It comes free with the Horizons expansion and aims to focus on refining core gameplay and new content.
Thargoids have crippled AEGIS-related starports in the Pleiades and are now appearing in human space. Be aware that while the Thargoid Interceptors are not normally hostile, Scout Marauders absolutely are. Starport repair requirements have been reduced to 10% of their original values and 3 have been fully repaired.

FFS, the default character is a bluegum porch monkey. If you want to be a white guy, there are like 3 choices, all with homosexual haircuts. You want red, purple, or yellow eyes though? nbd.

Also after fucking around for entirely too long trying to do that mission in a SRV I decided to just fly in and use my ship's datalink scanner to access the fuel depot. Surprisingly, it works.

>I've gotten a FUD ban for asking why ship sales corresponded with them delaying launches. They never launch a patch and then a sale. They always have a sale when people are expecting a patch and they hold the release until the end of the sale. I got a 3 day ban for pointing that out.
>medium ship destroys small ship i don't see the problem
Gavin Nguyen
Subtle. Saberfags are crying because a more expensive ship is better for once.
Levi Green
Did anyone try the new guns in 3.1 yet?
Tyler Cox
problem being that the philosophy of >x is the best ship at y >but at least it can't do z is shit for balance. eve tried this and the community ended up only using 1-2 ships out of every hull size for eight years.
Colton Howard
The Vanguard is a heavy fighter while the Sabre is a medium. I just tried playing AC on the PTU and the Warden can strafe/turn fast enough now to keep up with medium and light fighters while having a shield strong enough to survive being shot at by 2 people at the same time. I'm not saying it should be unable to win, but right now it wins too easily agains things that aren't even its intended targets.
Levi Turner
Well, fuck it. I'm not sure what I expected. As soon as I get the new patch installed, the servers shit the bed and everyone is complaining that the planets are tanking the fps to single digits and no one can connect.
Stability implies you can connect. Can they seriously not put a fucking dev on the ptfuckingu spectrum to tell people what's going on?
Kayden Adams
Whatd you mostly do for saving up?
Eli Lee
Nice.
I was all hot and ready to buy a Python, then by the time I had enough money I realized I didn't really need it anymore.
Still tempted, because it really is the most versatile single ship in the game.
Nolan Cox
been a while since I checked in
I remember roberts said 3.0 would be probably by christmas 2016. i know that got delayed, but are we at least at the amount of content he said would be available in that release? is it anything close to stable?
Kayden Fisher
The game is getting there.
Ryan Peterson
I can't recall. A lot of what CIG says gets lost in the wash.
Stability is relative to how many people occupy a server at any given point. If you have three dudes in Caterpillars exploding simultaneously then you're going to have a bad time.
Before you log in, keep in mind that the launcher TOS has a litigation clause in it. If you say anything bad you open yourself up to the possibility of a legal snafu.
Liam Cox
Yes user, I'm sure CIG will sue you if you say something bad about the game online.
Charles Fisher
Hey, you never know. Slander is slander.
Charles Rodriguez
I dont know about sue, but didnt they block users from their forums after finding accounts saying how much they sucked on other forums? Thats creepy af right there.
Jackson Lee
When did that supposedly happen?
Elijah Young
They went through some guy's PMs on the official forums and banned him for suggesting refunds a few months after the fact.
Matthew Lewis
I remember reading about it a few years ago, google showed me this as one of the results?

Julian James
If your ship has a bed, you can lay in it and there is a new option since 3.0 to log out. You can only rejoin back in your ship if you rejoin the same instance, so it's broken still afaik.
Never because you're just going to keep moving the goal posts on what you consider to be a game.
We have a game right now, it's a incredibly buggy poorly optimized game, but it is a game.
Gabriel Cox
>Never because you're just going to keep moving the goal posts on what you consider to be a game. Hello pot, I'm kettle. You're a nigger.
Gabriel Howard
>Mad and bad
Scream nigger all you like, it won't change anything, SC has more content than say, PUBG and that's considered a game, though I'm sure you'll disagree because you dislike it.
Angel Jenkins
I think the problem with SC is that the missing stuff is so glaring. Everywhere you go you find something that isn't implemented yet and there are whole ships that are pretty much useless because they rely on nonexistent mechanics.
Also, PUBG has the major advantage of being playable and stable, unlike the state 3.1 PTU is currently in.
Ethan Rodriguez
>SC has more content than say, PUBG You're retarded.
Wyatt James
SC has
>Ship PVP arenas >Ship PVE arenas >Infantry PVP arenas >Racing >A persistent universe with missions, commerce, pvp, pve, npcs and a pretty sizeable number of flyable ships
PUBG has
>PVP >Two maps >Cosmetics
Oliver Reed
>A game that is a modified fps shooter is stable >I used this plebbit meme as to lower the level of intellect so you can understand my reaction
not him but >Infantry PVP arenas Completely empty, impossible to find other players. >A persistent universe with missions, commerce, pvp, pve, npcs and a pretty sizeable number of flyable ships The Verse isn't persistent yet, there's a wipe for every little patch. The missions are "go pick up that box for the equivalent of $15". You can only fly ships you purchased with real money (unless you are in the PTU or steal a ship).
Mason Evans

Corvette is my current big multirole ship, because it can actually turn in sc.

Is the goal to grind Dav's hope until you have 250/250 of every material? or can I piss of at 100 or so...
I'm dying
Nathaniel Phillips
Do you want to do it once to completion, or twice?
Leo Cruz
Well my SRV is running out of fuel so i'm only halfway to everything...
Nolan Bailey
Synthesis.
Bentley Scott
Don't you have materials to synthesize a refuel?
Benjamin Gutierrez
Does it use valuable stuff or common stuff?
Jacob Reyes
Basic SRV refuel is 1 Sulphur and 1 Phosphorus
Hunter Evans
nvm haven't gotten any sulhpar and phsofurus from dav's hope
Landon Hughes
Go shoot rocks. I'd bitching about spoonfeeding, but I don't think the game ever explains where each category of material comes from.
Elijah Moore
You don't get those there because they're elements. You can find them in SRV from outcrops that spawn on landable planets or mining asteroids in belts.
