How appropriate, I fight like a cow.

I started playing ED on playstation. Then I switched to PC and still use a PS controller. It just flies best with 2 stick imo. You can also additionally use a keyboard. (I use the default controller key binding layout + added only 2 or 3 keyboard buttons myself)

Slow but steady passive NPC deliveries to your construction sites.

I’d say depends. Do you have enough other slots in the system? If yes, I’d say yes. Market effects currently only combine for facilities around or on the same body, so you if you want an orbital market, then you only want to establish production on bodies where you can build an orbital outpost/station. (They maybe will change it so all facilities will also count into all other facilities in the system)

Maybe if it has 5 or more slots on the body, otherwise I’d use this only for system wide effects like security

I forgot about my personal multiplayer aspect: it’s the community in forums like here and mainly discord. There are dozens of public discord servers. That’s where people mainly meet and talk. The in game chat is often a lot of shit talk.

Fly safe, CMDR o7

There is a lot of story/lore but no campaign, no given storyline. There’s so much given for your imagination https://elite-dangerous.fandom.com/wiki/Elite_Dangerous_Timeline tho we mostly only get some galnet articles for everything new.

Can’t say much about multiplayer, I only use solo mode. But you can still see the chat of open play, if you’re in a system. No one will know if you’re solo or open. FDevs also announced to rework the whole squadron thingy

I use a controller with 2 sticks. I love it, don’t even think about getting a joystick because I don’t play on a desk

Most fun for me are the Sidewinder and now the Cobra V. I like maneuverability. For combat yes, it’s the Phyton 2. But atm I use the T9 most for colonization hauling 🥲

Democracy ✊

Just fyi: today it switched to medium security \o/ and I also gained some population, even if there was no tick since last checked this night according to https://elitebgs.app/tick

The controlling faction only gained <1% influence and still all factions have none state

Thank you, I just read s bit about it https://remlok-industries.fr/the-complete-background-simulation-guide/?lang=en

Tho there has to be an effect of the things we build. And I’m sure I’ve read a comment someone saying that their security status changed. But I’m not sure when exactly the effect kicks in.

Huh I just finished the outpost and services are available. Even the colonization contact.

No for now colonization can only be done from bubble systems and systems that where created by CMDRs. You have 16ly range

Started my outpost yesterday and already got it to 81%. That’s really not too hard for ED standards. As far a I got it we won’t have time pressure after the first one .

We have to wait until the weekly tick to have it fully operational or am I wrong?

I think Li is the only one who gives exploration data boni, so he’s my dude.

With the upcoming colonization update, I’d like to have a passively money generating brothel settlement

The other thing is also, that the epic version won’t immediately be online on Thursdays after a game update, so you can’t play until someone from GFN and/or epic does the update manually. It was a Thursday when I bought the steam version because of that. (It was 10€ for ED+oddy on black Friday, so I’m fine with paying 10€ for the space legs).

I really hope they get this fixed, if it wasn’t GFN wanting to get rid of us, I’d guess ED players spend relatively long times on their service compared to other games. Now that’s just my fear, not an allegation…

I think it first happened on Wednesday for me. So I’d guess it’s GFN or steam or some API thingy causing this. It wasn’t after an update of the game, sure it wasn’t Thursday

They should wipe out the superpowers so that the most powerful person left in the galaxy would be Jacques the Great, ruler of humanity.

Oh I thought that’s only possible for credits&username, I didn’t know they also offer to transfer permits, progress, ships and modules. I’ll keep that in mind, thanks! But also, I like the idea of just doing the grinds again. Gives me something to do in the game and I was having my fun doing it back in my days.
