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

Rhea runs are still okay just not as good as they were, I've got a python at the moment with around 40 in cabin space and I make 3 million for 15 minutes.

Sounds reasonable; I make 3.5-4m in about 15mins trading Imp Slaves so looks like they've finally got the balance right. Having 10k new billionaires in the game does however cause FDev a headache in the sense they have a group of players with nothing to strive for anymore & iirc they said that although people complain about the 'grind' it is in fact what keeps most of them playing.

Voiceattack and the HCS packs have changed the game no end. And now you can assign different voicepacks to different actions its even better

I agree! It makes piloting a lot more comfortable, I wouldn't say easier but I would say not having to play keyboard gymnastics is a godsend, plus having the AI say your name is just blooming cool!
 
... if you want something more & you've got the cash then I'd go the whole hog and get Astra with the personal responses.

Very tempted to :)

Out of interest - the HCS website lists the features for ASTRA as: "ASTRA - 2017 new features include "HCS PlugIn" new plugin - 3000 responses - Elite Dangerous Horizons Ready - Commands + GalaXapediA + Constellations + Quantum Theory + Ships + Vulcan + S-Ai + Stephen Hawking Quotes. Works with Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous & Other Space Simulators". So - two final questions (honestly!):
  1. What is 'S-Ai'?
  2. Does the one voicepack have prebuilt profiles for BOTH Elite and Star Citizen - or does it mean that there is an ASTRA for Elite and a seperate ASTRA for Star Citizen?
 
What is 'S-Ai'?

Not a clue! I'd guess, by the name, it's some of the interactive stuff that if switched on will ask you Qs, eg, if you want the landing gear lowered.

  1. Does the one voicepack have prebuilt profiles for BOTH Elite and Star Citizen - or does it mean that there is an ASTRA for Elite and a seperate ASTRA for Star Citizen?

No it's the same so you buy ONE pack for BOTH games. I only have ED installed atm though so only have profiles for ED; I got a selection, I think 3 for ED plus my Personal Responses which you then merge with the main profile you want to use… I've actually customised mine a lot now, adding phrases together etc. All great fun.

Just one final thing to consider, in case you missed it, is that the voice packs don't work with demo version of Voice Attack so you'll want to factor in US$10 to get the full version but I still more than think it is worth it.
 
Anyone comment on the viability of using rail guns in the medium hardpoints on a Python? They would be used mainly for stripping shields so would I be better served sticking to beams maybe.
 
I think voice attack and Astra is well worth it, only use a few commands though.
Request docking, gear up/down, deploy scoop/hardpoints, next fire group, target, and accidently what the f :D
 
Folks, how the hell do I undermine for bounty hunting?

I go to a conflict zone at fortifying control Hudson location (I'm with ALD).
But I chose a faction, start zapping ships, but no merits?
 
Anyone got suggestions re. a cheap semi-disposable fighter build for Colonia?

I'm out in Colonia at the moment and fancy some RES bounty hunting etc. to spice things up (I'm mainly mining and exploring). As it's Colonia, A Rated stuff is generally off the agenda (?).

I was looking at a Viper MK IV, but any other suggestions and builds?

Thanks Dano. And this please? :)
 
Depends on the RES type, it it's Hazardous then a Vulture with twin pulses has always been my go to, anything non hazardous then anything will do so long as you are careful and let the police help out, even a sidewinder is fine, the Viper will be very suitable.
 
Im struggling. I'm pledged to ALD, I'm at a Zack expansion system, looking for an instance to blow stuff up to get merits. But cant find any.
What am I doing wrong?
