If you are over shooting targets when in super cruise try this. Go at full throttle towards your destination, then when the time to target reaches 00:10 start slowing down. Then keep the approach speed at 0:06 this is an almost perfect approach speed, 0:05 is pushing it a bit, but doable. xD

Just sometimes need to juggle the throttle up and down a little to keep it at 0:06 once you get a feel for it is easy enough.

It's got to be just a matter of time until they implement some sort of data snapshot system, otherwise trading will be a pain.

there are fan made third party diary/captains log tools.

Yea, still never seen on! I got an option of killing authority from some random guy for the same mission. But I'd rather still hunt pirates. I might abandon it. It's taking me HOURS to find anyone in this method. Really not working for me and I'm getting bored of just jumping into 10 instances at a time before I finally find anyone or anything to do with my mission...

Grrrr. Really annoyed was loving this but it's getting real tiresome fast.

Just don't do those missions. They're pretty rubbish as it stands. Go to nav beacons (near stars) and find wanted ships for their bounty. In a proper anarchy system everyone will show up as "clean" but after a quick kill warrant scan you'll be able to see their full true bounty in the contacts panel. You will make a killing at nav beacons, more if you team up with someone.

When at a Nav beacon, do you stay out of SC and just wait? I have been going to SC and going for USS's...

Thanks guys. In at LHS 3447. Or very similar. Not at my computer. I just discovered I can add in a second fire group so I'll try the nav beacon approach. I've turned 1000 credits into 80,000 since yesterday! So not doing so bad. But I need a lot to get a better ship before I can even attempt to pirate.

As for systems. As I see it. They are all the same. Is there an easy layman's way of explaining all the different systems? How to choose where to go etc. At the moment. Due to the nature of the instances. I can't see why staying between a few stars isn't a bad idea as the same type of instances will show up at other stars.

I'm being grumpy today, I want to play but I want progress lol

Depends how you play but I always use the twist/yaw on my X52 Pro, it's very useful for minor adjustments during docking and when shooting weaving ships.

Right, all 'kin problems solved.
Docking computer installed.

That's brave

You clearly haven't been practicing enough.

No sleep for you tonight!

 

[nitram100]

Why the **** is docking not working? Proceed to docking bay 1, land in and nothing happens. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, what is going on?

 

[Alienfish360]

Are you in the centre of the grid and facing in the correct direction?

 

[stoofa]

The docking computer is now 6 for 6 on docking - 4 in stations and 2 surface lands.
Would do a few more - but.....got kicked and now I'm "unconnected" - anyone else?

Nice one, missed the big yellow arrow pointing fowards. Cheers

Was happily playing 1.00 yesterday and now the client is downloading what looks like a massive update?

Looked on the forum and it talks about Gamma 2.07, is that what it is?

Thanks

 

[Darryn]

Dont think the patch is that big only took a few seconds iirc, it has removed the v1.00 text though, which is nice.

2.07 was the last major pre-release.

 

[nitram100]

Anyone else getting massive frame lag in supercruise?

GPU useage drops to <10% and GPU speed goes to around 500mhz. As soon as I drop out of supercruise frame rate goes back perfect again.

 

[EMarkM]

Yep, I started playing the game when it came out yesterday, so I've played the initial full version and today's update too, and in both I see a lot of stuttering in hyperspace.

 

[Brok]

Are you playing in open play? If so see if it still stutters in solo mode. I remember during early beta there was mega stutter caused by people with slow connections (there was no solo mode back then!)
