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

Quick heads-up for any Elite players who haven't noticed the ridiculous profits on offer for hauling Tritium in this week's CG.

Fozard Port is buying Tritium for 413k per unit, which means you can make upwards of a quarter of a billion credits per run, depending on your hauling setup. You'll need a decent long-range hauler or be willing to make a lot of jumps.

In my most recent session I was buying from a station about 100LY from Fozard, which was 3 jumps out, 4 back with a full load in my Cutter, for a profit of about 240 million per run. I run with good shields, weapons and a fighter bay, but you can haul more if you're happy with dodging or escaping interdictions. Use EDDB to find the best stations to buy from, and choose ones with a lot of stock that have been recently updated so you don't have a wasted trip.

If you do decide to take advantage, please don't sign up to the CG, just do the trading loop. You get the same money without signing up (minus a tiny amount in CG rewards), and the fewer people that sign up, the longer it'll run. Chances are it'll complete before the weekend is over, maybe even tomorrow. So get in now, if you can!

Ended early ! Profit too high...
 
More carefully crafted and involved gameplay from FD? The biggest reward in the game generated carrying X from Y to Z.

Not played in a year or so, but Odyssey is 45% off on Steam.
I know it got reviewed pan when it 1st came out, but is it worth picking up now?

Odyssey primarily is of course legs and FPS content. If you think this will float your boat, buy away.

Or, if you've not played in a year, what in the core game will be improved enough by legs and FPS to engage you?
 
I bought Odyssy and just reinstalled Elite.
I've only just finished the tutorial and noticed the graphics look a bit *off*. Jagged edges, which look a bit off when I move about.

You can see a kind of flicking white line on the left side of the post, when you move about.

Can anyone give some suggestions on what graphical settings I should play with to help?
These are my current settings, all set when I installed the game. I have an old Vega 64 card, but it's smooth at the moment.
Running at 1920x1080 at 144mhz.

You'll want to turn off upscaling / supersampling, and may need to lower anti-aliasing depending on how performance is after that.
 
Been playing on and off, following a guide.

Got myself a Python for some mining. :D

A mate has just started playing, are there anything we can do co-op together?

How do you communicate with each other in VR? Can you use voice comms when you're in a wing?

And if you do use voice, do either of you also use VoiceAttack? I've avoided any sort of co-op play because I use a PS4 controller, so a) I can't play in VR without VoiceAttack, and b) I don't have spare buttons that I could dedicate to push-to-talk (if that's even an option).

Is it still as wide as the Pacific Ocean, but still only an inch deep? And I suppose if you’re not Engineered you’ve got no chance in PvP?

Gets wider, shallower and more buggy every year, yes, PVP without engineering will be a lesson in frustration.

EDIT: I should add that it's still a great game, don't let my comment put you off as I have put thousands of hours into it and enjoyed it all, I'm just a little jaded by the way development has gone lol.

Hi, our Quest 2 headsets have mics built into them, so we use that, via a wing
