*** The Official Elite: Dangerous Thread ***

Curses! Logged in for first time in seven weeks to make sure I hand in alien quest before they get wiped.
It's gone already.
Not only that, but every one of my previous "Tips/Hints" to locations has also been removed.

Now I've no idea wtf I was meant to go or what to do once there.
/sigh
 
Finally got the hang of engineers. Got 5 FSD which has taken my Conda to 29ly with all my hardware for not getting killed, so not to shabby.

Near Dav's Hope there is a crash landed ship that is venting black errrrr smoke??? (not quite sure what it could be, given there is no atmosphere ...) however it is. Only a data box to scan and a few useless canisters. Anyway, if you want chemical manipulators, they are there.

My trip around Dav's Hope

 
Sweet... Em... but whats the benefit of it being on steam?
Integrates with Elite?

Just another Marketing channel for them. Allowing existing users to access it via steam is a good thing. With it being intergrated quite closely to ED, selling it with ED on steam makes sense as well. Steam are good at that sort of thing.
 
& would be cool if we could set more keybinds for ED, such as for the Transactions tab, so you don't have to rely on a macro that assumes that Target Panel tab x is selected.

Was half expecting the servers to go down at 8am this morning due to the scary login message and we'd have 2.3 rolling out to go live about 10am. Seems not.
 

"When targeting a station's location (usually but not limited to when in supercruise heading towards it) show the schematic in the correct orientation. Note that this does not take into account the stations gentle axis-rotation, but will at the very least tell you where the entrance of an orbis/coriolis/etc will be when you drop out" This has been annoying me for a while.

• Changed the exponent of the curve used for shield resistance from power distributor pips to make it less harsh. 0 and 4 pips are unchanged, middle values now have a higher damage resistance. That will be a bone of contention I suspect...
 
Servers back online 18:00 BST https://twitter.com/EliteDangerous/status/851716572171440128

Cool. Also the letterbox faces the body it is orbiting so flying between them and then turning in always ends you up pointing towards the entrance (more or less).
 
Anyone know if duplicate ship names are allowed or once that name is taken then that's it?
Based on Beta, you can have the same ship name as another player and own several ships yourself all with the same name.
I guess they couldn't easily deny everyone the chance to fly the Enterprise, Millenium Falcon or Serenity...

Worth noting that all possible swear words were censored.
I was flying "The Horn****er".... because 'blow' is naughty, yet 'horn' is not, for some stupid reason...
