Mmmm

anybody else have an issue with a black screen when in Hyperspace?

It has just started this evening. when I jump it is fine for a few seconds and then goes black, game continues though. The elite.exe is crashing and a crash report box appears....

Literately started this evening.

I had the same issue. I thought it was something to do with me changing my FOV until I saw this post!

I had this last night as well. I'm sure it will sort itself over the next day or so. they usually do the maintenance window thing on a Thursday morning and all the servers get rebooted.
 
I nearly lost everything last night. My gf decided to surprise me with a mug of hot chocolate while I was fighting in Lugh. She clamped her hands over my eyes while I was trying to escape with no shields. When she took her hands away my cockpit was blown out and my thrusters were down. It wasn't the surprise I wanted. 18k off of the loan limit on the buy-back. Could have been Sidewinder time!

I have raised a trouble ticket as it seems to be happening quite a bit with a number of people.

I finally had a exception windo come up and it ties in with other peoples experience

Out of interest what ship are you using. I only got a viper yesterday and it started with that, however a few people have Cobra's.

That was mental.
Went down to the resource extraction.
It was all hell let loose there.

Imperial Clipper's, Anaconda's everywhere.

My bounty haul was 798k

Same here - did my first ever RES on Monday night in the Vulture ... constant stream of ships for the best part of 90 minutes. Cobras, Sideys, Eagles, Dropships, Asps, Pythons and Anacondas - finally docked with 1m in bounties to cash in. Probably the most fun I've had in game for ages, so I can see it becoming a regular thing from now on, playing time permitting
 
I just depends on the res. I sometimes engage supercruise, zero throttle as it starts to engage and then drop right back out to refresh the instance. Kind of re-roll the dice.

I've also been in the combat zones in Lugh. My vulture with twin lasers can basically stay there indefinitely spent a happy 45minutes shooting stuff for about 750k.

Very irritating when a ship kill gets awarded to someone else when you have done most of the work.

Can you imagine what the NPCs think? When you place one single shot into a craft 10 seconds before they blow it up, and you get all the bounty?

Yep totally agree about the fun side. Said to Mrs s, "that was the most fun I have had in a game since I completed Manic Miner...

She had no idea what I was saying....

Ploppy,

Try under clocking your card.

I have under clocked my GTX 980 to reference clocks and it seems fine now. I see you have AMD so might be worth a try.

It's defo the hyperspace cut scene causing the issues.
 
Had fun fighting in a RES zone this afternoon in my new FDL. Only slight problem was trying to find a decent setup that didn't starve the ship of power. Very hard trying to balance power consumption between the 6 utility slots, the 4 medium weapon hardpoints and the single huge weapon hardpoint. Would be nice of FD added modules that could increase power output, fuel etc at the expense of internal slots.

Given how few internal slots actually get used up on most ships, that wouldn't be enough of a drawback, IMO, for either FdL or Vulture.

You need to balance reward with risk, else you just create a single go-to ship that trumps all the others. If the Vulture wasn't just a little bit awkward, we'd all be flying one and things like the Asp and Python wouldn't even get a look in!
