Multi Elite - Dangerous by David Braben

Bleeding hell. What do you do for a living that you dont get home till 3am??

 

It was awesome and for once I did not slam my ship into an asteroid or another ship

Great screen shot there! I love the lighting in Elite and seeing the ships size compared to each other, Cobra is a lot bigger than I thought it was!

Can anyone confirm/grab a screenshot and see if they've done the clipper too?

 

GMC gave me the delightful information that there is going to be two variants of the Diamondback, The Scout & The Explorer!

the Explorer being the bigger brother of the scout looks Exactly like my kinda ship:

I even fitted up my ideal config:

The DBE is a tad slow and average manoeuvrability but the 2 size 4 compartments and 1 large & 2 medium hardpoints will give it some good combat values, especially conbined with that class 5 FSD - as you can see from the shipyards link, it is still capable of nearly 27LY in 'combat config'.

All in at 18 million for an A rated setup, this ship is a serious contender for its price point, assuming these value are all correct at 1.3 go live.

 

I'll take one for a spin later - with reference to cost I wouldn't speculate or hold your breath to alleviate disappointment Matt, looking at that spec it's more akin to a cargo capable long range Vulture; the Vulture holds a 4 mil price tag.

 

Yeah, let me know what you think of it if you get the chance. Thought the vulture was 6 mill stock?

 

You're both close. Stock price for vulture is pocket change from 5mill.

 

Will do

And it's 4.68 Mil plus small change these days mate lol.

 

I tried to go on Powerplay, but it was giving me an eagle from an old save, and not my cobra?

 

I think that's how it works, it uses an old save.

 

A bit late there fella, patch 1.3 Powerplay final is released today - the servers are expected to be down until just after midnight.

 

Worried about losing unclaimed bounty vouchers. If anyone gets into 1.3 live release and had unclaimed vouchers before upgrade, post to let us know if you still have them?

 

Jesus Wept I hope not, I have a couple million in Empire and Alliance bounties to claim... plus I'm right in deep space right now for the exploration community goal.

 

I know missions were being wiped which is why I'm worried. I have over 15m unclaimed
Edit: Friend has logged in, missions have been marked as completed, bounties remain [emoji12]

 

Got update: Bounty Vouchers intact also.

Hooray!

Didn't check if my community goal is complete or not, if it is I'll be well pissed, got to fly all the way back to the station to pick it back up again.

But, servers are decidedly spotty right now, got dumped twice and gave up for the evening, it might take a couple of days for the game to be stable again. I want/wonder if powerplay will ever let you pledge to multiple factions, I'd quite like to run one Federal and one Imperial so I can smash pirates on both sides of the picket fence and pressure Winters/Patreus without affecting the Fed/Imp balance overall.

Also, 10'000 merit points gets a 50'000'000CR weekly bonus, fire up the grinder!

 

50,000,000 what? Credits??!!

 

Well I'm running with my new baby

It's just soooo nice to be able to explore, run some rares whilst still smiting the infidel and big game hunting

​

And I get to play on my newly rebuilt baby to!!

​

 

Yup, credits.

Just think, combat spec Python every three weeks, can't see any scope for abusing that, no sir...

 

So how do I earn merit points?

 

I like my current home but patreus is a douche. Anyone living in Arissa territory?
