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

Yeah I just realised that I'm an eejit and that there are class 3 AX multis, so I have been chasing them around in my Fed Gunship tickling away at them with class 2s when I should have just put a few class 3s on a krait or python. I do have an anaconda gathering dust, but it just sounds boring to do it in a big slow ship. The exception would be if I could take on a big cloud of scouts in a type 10 covered in AX multis and blast away at them like that. Doing 4 at a time in an anaconda is just a bit meh

Nah, one huge and 4 mediums is kinda a waste here. I really just need a fast ship with lots of large HPs in good positions. Krait and Python both have 3 large up top which is ideal here, and then the only consideration is what to do with the 2 mediums (maybe advanced multis, although I;m not arsed to synth ax ammo for them). Perhaps a guardian gauss just to keep my aim true for opportunistic shots.

I'm leaning towards a Krait as I don't really use mine much anymore (I have a chief for interceptors and my Vette for normal PVE). I think I will bin my Fed gunship though as I am not really feeling the weapon arcs and it's a bit slow.
 
My trusty old original x52 is on it way out the plastic is now leeching it oils it must be 20 years old if not more, what's folks using these days.
 
Looked at the warthog, really fancy it apart from the lack of Twist and don't really want pedals. Anyone use a X56 ?

Before i mention new stuff i will say..... my xbox pads and my fanatec GT2 wheel and gear stick all suffered from rubber rot. it was disgusting. however if that is all that is wrong with your stick get hold of some pure ethanol if you can (failing that other solvents should work). it solved my rubber rot issues completely as it removes all the rubbery coating... so you may get a few more years life out of you current stick

==================================================


I have an X55 and X56 HOTAS. i think i said earlier in this thread when they worked they were both great for elite with loads of buttons, but the throttle wiring loom is prone to failure. last time i spoke with logitech about it they said they were looking at improving that part*****, and since then they have bought out a revised "RGB" version...... so perhaps it has been fixed.

it is a hard one, if it is fixed i recomment the X56 fully. if it isnt then, i am on my 2nd X56 (I think... not 100% sure) after gotten through 2 x55s and also having my x55 throttle repaired via a 3rd party after the warranty ran out all with the same issue... and my x56 throttle has started playing up again...... not currently an issue for me with elite as i am twin sticking it which is an interesting control for elite.... but is an issue for MSFS 2020

if it hasnt been fixed i think i would go for

or just get another x52pro (ocuk also have stock of that)


if money is no object there are far more high end stuff like the warthog (no twist rudder axis on the stick so will need pedals as well) or stuff by virpil but that is way over my paygrade.



***** the x55 / x56 has had quite the life.

originally it was saitek who made the x52 and it was fairly well made.... madcatz bought them out and they designed the x55/x56.

logitech bought them out just after the X56 released, hence early units were made by madcatz, the RGB version however logitech have to take responsibility for as they had been in ownership for a few years before that released.

Just got back into the game after nearly a year off, and I am so happy to have a xeno hunting ground one jump away from Jameson. Makes it so much easier to tune builds when I can just hop over and swap modules, and makes it so much less hassle to swap what I'm doing when it doesn't involve a 500ly trip to my other ships.

Do you mind me asking, what star system ? I tied looking on Inara last night but all of the local ones were empty of NHSS.

Ooooo that looks a nice choice, the joys of brexit may prevent it from reaching our shores though......

I bought mine post-Brexit. It got here fine. Going through on the website you don't pay the import taxes and stuff, instead the courier contacts you and asks you to pay it. Did that, package arrived a few days later. Went pretty smooth, about the only Brexit related thing that seems to have! lol
