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.

pastebin.com/Z12SKZLq Do you even fucking look at the responses to the OP before making a new thread? Sick of answering this same fucking question each thread.
Bentley Lewis
> don't stack collectors this is bad advice as 3 limpets are not enough if you're mining with a pair of medium lasers. It's slow enough with 6 of them out, 3 will take forever to collect everything
Luis Cox
>pastebin.com/Z12SKZLq That's a pretty good guide with no furfag pasta attached. I should copy it into the "official" pastebin account.

Robert Bailey
Well, there go the Sothis/Ceos delivery missions. You no longer get millions delivering things next door to Ceos, you have to fly back to the bubble from Sothis cargo delivery missions now.
Kevin Anderson
>tfw shadow deliveries of biowaste
Nathaniel Lopez
Seconding this, I explained it last thread too. Also explained why you'd want at least 2 prospectors.
In local news, does anyone know how to make eddb shit out IF locations with large pads near $area?
Gabriel Roberts
>new thread >straight to page 9
Ryder Baker
Remove the fucking transfer time on modules or create an actual goddamn fucking inventory system. What the fuck were they thinking?
Nolan Wilson
Just do what everyone else does and have a home station with all your ships and modules in it.
Chase Ortiz
I think all low sec stations have Interstellar factors now.
Lincoln Martin
Gotta waste your time, brah.
You think we would just let you do thing easily? BRB just discovered someone having fun, gotta work on patching it out.
Blake Walker
Unfortunately, my arse is large and I couldn't find a way to sort stations by security or systems by pad since the 7 low sec systems I checked only had small outposts. Finally found a landable planet outpost in low sec though.
Joshua Martinez
Are ED servers really terrible after 3.0.5? I keep disconnecting every 5 minutes.
Leo Howard
Such a happy ship.
Thomas Nelson
I've disconnected once so far, but I was scratching my arse while afk in the dock.
Nicholas Jones
>Have a ship able to care hundreds of tons of cargo. >You cannot carry 1 small pulse laser in the hold.
Explain this shit to me, someone, anyone.
Aaron Clark
You lack the required safety permits for transporting weapons.Yes I realize you can deliver small arms.
Isaac Ward
stop demanding logical game design CMDR. This is elite, not EVE! o7
Anthony Young
Don't be disrespectful to the hard working developers, nobody is forcing you to play the game. Personally i find the system great because it gives me time to walk the dog haha :) Though i'm not currently close to any stations, i'm 600.000.000.000 LY away from the bubble on a six month exploration trip, having a blast doing about 2000 jumps/day! Fly safe CMDR! o7 o7
I need Sulphur and phosphorus for engineering stuff. Do they count as materials on that 0/250 counter? Or do I need actual cargo hold space for that sort of stuff?
Christian Williams
Sothis Mining deliveries to Ceos are still there, the big station, Newholm, has the super long distance stuff. Seems fine.
Eli Thompson
engineering mats don't use cargo space
Kevin Torres
Hope you aren't doing detailed scans cmdr! You wouldn't want your progression to be ruined by a huge influx of cash when you get back to the bubble.
Hudson Barnes
Yeah you can see how much you can carry by checking the Materials tab by pressing '4'. FDev in their infinite wisdom decided to not make the maximum you can carry per mat the same. Like, why the fuck can I carry 300 Phosphorus but only 100 Proto Radiolic Alloys? Yeah one's a higher grade but still, it's not like we're gonna break the game economy if we horde 300 or 1000 of them for god's sake.
Aaron Powell
its going to take you forever to hoard that much anyways so stop complaining CMDR
Landon Russell
Alright that's good to know.
Is there a resource I can use to search for those sort of things nearby to me to mine?
Jordan Morales
Pretty sure it is to gimp the usefulness of the mat traders. Wouldn't want you to easily be able to convert those thousands of scans you could harvest with a macro over a planet be converted into something useful
Colton Russell
Oh absolutely not, i'm currently in an Adder and aiming towards a Diamondback Explorer the next year or so. o7
Eli Watson
eddb.io Use the Bodies tab and select your desired element.

Brody Fisher
Wtf is the server down??
Literally my one and only time of the week to play and I can't
Bentley Miller
Yeah, I guess there was a problem with the small patch a while ago. It only went down for 3mins last time though.
Eli Peterson
Apparently some people were reporting problems with missions. As in, they lost all their missions and getting disconnects.
Ryder Butler
>cmdrs aren't making money >cmdrs can't unlock high tier ships if they don't have money
So what would the fallout be if Crytek win the case and force CIG to stop development. Would people be mad at Roberto or Crytek?
Jayden Johnson
The latter, considering that, as far as I know, they still haven't actually explained what their case actually is after they contradicted themselves right at the start.
Mining for mats in my asp with a class 4 refinery(10 bins) and class 3 prospecting/collection limpets.
What else should I have with it?
Lucas Turner
lmao wtf? The galaxy is only 100,000 Ly across, not 600 billion Ly. That's 6x the estimate of our fucking galaxy.
Also I hope you engineered your FSD. I'm not leaving the bubble til I get 70Ly / jump otherwise you really will be doing 2000 jumps / day.
Luke Howard
>Fixed rank-up missions incorrectly increasing rank with the opposing Superpower Holy kek you can't even make this shit up
Joshua Ross
Still cant toggle them on and off though
Zachary Kelly
More collection limpets, cargo, a bigger ship you can slap a fighter on to net bounties, shields in roughly that order of desirability. You got the core shit down for mining however. If you are mining for engineering mats specifically, bring an SRV to a planet instead. If you can't do that, mount all the mining lasers and no refinery, the limpets will just pick up engineering mats. Have I got a modest proposal for you user...
Austin Martinez
>If you are mining for engineering mats specifically, bring an SRV to a planet instead. Why is that? Is it quicker than mining? I didn't know you could get that stuff on the ground
>If you can't do that, mount all the mining lasers and no refinery, the limpets will just pick up engineering mats. Yeah pretty much mining for engineering mats, not for money or anything like that, get as much as I can as quick as I can
Angel Diaz
Assuming you are intent on acquiring like carbon, phosphorus, etc. they're easier to find on planets. If you are mining to unlock Selene/get bromellite, gold or painite, then you need to refine and mine space rocks (but you'll get a trickle of materials too).
Jose Watson
The former.
How do you go about finding that sort of stuff on planets?
Lincoln Ramirez
Pop SRV, look at scanner, follow scanner. Scanner shows bearing, shape on scanner shows category of item (high marks=POI, low marks=rocks), specific sound tells you what the item is. This site has examples wavescanner.net Since you just want mats, follow the low ones (outcrops and -ites) until you see em, shoot em and scoop up the mats.
Anthony Robinson
Alright cool, so I won't need any of the mining shit, just refit back for high jump range and add in SRV's and that will do all the work for me yeah?
Xavier Rogers
Also I would hop by Dav's Hope in solo mode. It has about 10 or so resources laying in an abandoned town. Once you pick them up, relog and they respawn. They don't give you super rare resources but some of the more common ones for sure. I did it last night, it still works.
Michael Hughes
Yeah I was there the other day until I ran out of fuel and figured I best find some sulphur and stuff that I can craft more fuel with
thanks for the help
David Ortiz
I mean, you have to drive around (your mileage may vary on how fun that is, I rather enjoy pissing about with the SRV, even if the controls are janky as fuck) and shoot rocks. A Detailed Surface Scanner is needed to identify what elements are available on the planet I think. Dav's Hope is a source of industrial materials, not raw materials AFAIK. Not that you shouldn't go there if you need industrial materials, but he seems to want raw materials instead.
I'm learning this shit as I go too. If your SRV to refuel/rearmor, all you have to do is go back into your ship and redeploy. Bam, full fuel and 100% hull. One of these days I will farm Dav's Hope for an hour. I think that will be more then enough. They will patch it soon I believe. Better get on top of that.
Oliver Moore
Also, I need chemical distillery for grade 4 FSD and arsenic for grade 5. I will check out the surface of a random planet for arsenic - I hear that's my best bet. How about chemical distillery? I really don't want to salvage ships or farm high res. Is there any planet I can drop by on and pick it up or what?
Carson Baker
The ship does not refuel refuel or rearm the SRV, just repair it.
Hunter Murphy
You want a planet with arsenic (coincidentally the image I posted was relatively high in arsenic, Hollos A 3 b though there are many worlds like it in the Bubble), not all of them have it. I've never specifically farmed up chemical distilleries, but I've heard going above the plane in War systems and looks for high grade USSs works. Blowing up nerds in Anarchy/HAZRES is where mine came from and if you only need a few you can also visit a material trader.
If you've found some skimmers out in the middle of no where and a "restricted" area those Skimmers are free for you to kill, you'll get 1000 credits for killing one, and you won't get a fine for entering the area.
If it's an actual like installation you'll probably have to deal with shit.
Ryan Cooper
I just did that in the middle of nowhere and got a bounty for killing them
thanks
Jason Hill
Well, I can't say when Crytek wins, because that would be wrong. >Filing a lawsuit and they don't even include their own GLA
>normal reward 7mil >mat reward 4 grade 5 mats plus 5mil credits >one grade 5 mat costs 500000 credits
Elijah Perez
Trader is very literal, trade only. You get fucked by the exchange rate but it lets you bypass things you don't want to do. Spam easy missions that reward grade 5 manufactured materials, go to an industrial high population system with a material trader, said trader will take the manufactured materials you don't want and give you the ones you do want at a kind of shit exchange rate (6:1 going up/1:3 going down one level, 3:1 going across a level, stacking IIRC) And you'd think there would be a direct exchange because of that, but no; FDev might have to test for gold rushes then.
Isaac Wright
hey guys, just a casual bitch that hasn't even looked into this game in years. is it playable yet? can anyone give me a proper update on where it's at and how much fun i might have if i buy in now?
Isaac Bailey
There are 2 games in this general
Eli Reed
>can sell for g5 mats >Davs hope removed from game because you can make 500m credits per hour selling the mats
Maybe it's a good thing
Blake Clark
i'm pretty sure you can figure out which game i'm talking about through context, but in case you're retarded: the one that doesn't have elite in its name
Jose Lewis
Which game? Elite is kind of tedious but complete to at least the minimum viable product level. SC is an unoptimised heap of random things which might come to form a game in the distant future.
Lucas Russell
actually, I just got into my ship and now the bounty has disappeared???
Alexander Cox
WOW. That's fucked up. We keep complaining over and over that this game is a major grind and what does FDev do? Give us more grinding. What possible reason is there that I can't buy something? My money isn't good enough? I can only trade? I thought this was a simulator. Oh yah thats right, they want you to keep on grinding so you don't abandon this game.
