Re: Avoid minimizing the game when switching to another screen

Borderless helped me a lot, it's not perfect, I still have to CTRL-Escape when on foot to get out of the game because the mouse has look-view and the cursor will not exit the window. Sadly CTRL-Escape also puts my win8 into stupid metro-desktop which means I have to click back in the game, but at le...

Re: What are you doing (ingame) now?

I shall now return to my space ship and do some engineering to that, broker unlock engineering for now. I've burned out on needless grind for suit engineering. I realised something was wrong when I ended up googling how to farm some things. I was having fun murdering my way through settlements looki...

Re: Apex to surface mission, ie, what happens when I die?

Finally think I figured out how sometimes when I am killed on foot I end up in jail. It seems like it might be because I am doing Restoration mission and to fail one incurs a 100k fine/bounty (what is the difference anyway?!) presumably in compensation for the power regulator they won't see again an...

Re: HotasX

That's a great thread thank you. It's a shame there is one guy on there who built his own contact-free sensor but his build-thread has vanished (though I suspect it was in Russian but still, pictures would have explained it mostly and google translate would have caught enough of the rest) When the j...

HotasX

I've got the HotasX. The one that "pulls to the left in elite dangerous". Now, I've done some investigation and disassembly and that thing all the videos say "clean the potentiometer" I've tried that. The results have been... not great. But I found some symptoms the videos don't ...

Re: Apex to surface mission, ie, what happens when I die?

Now that I finally have the Maverick suit backpack upgrade, I need my actual ship less and less, though turns out Apex ships also act like my storage local. (Funny what FD are prepared to break immersion, but not other things - Like the Travel Journey to an on-foot conflict zone.. WHY subject me to ...

Re: What are you doing (ingame) now?

I am grinding suit engineering and well.. that is getting pretty sucky. I need Chemical Inventory and I seem to have rolled -10 to finding Chemical Inventory. For a brief while I thought I was going to be boned on Suit Schematic then found the golden ticket of a Military system in bust with the peop...

Apex to surface mission, ie, what happens when I die?

I fell in love with Apex. It wasn't supposed to happen, yet it did anyway. If I could get them to carry me onto the Concourse, that would be even better thanks! Anyway to the point. I've been embarrassing myself quite well in "on foot" missions. I really stink at them, that's fine, they're...

Re: Please introduce yourself.

Hi, I'm about 50. I spent most of my childhood playing Elite on friends Acorns / BBCs and finally got it on C64 and that was the last anybody saw of me, no regrets. I've been On and Off with Elite Dangerous, 99% off. I bought lots of ED things and expansions and never played them. I figure it's ok. ...
