It depends on from when you're dating it. Things have changed from April 2016, when HCS explained that they could not get any information consistently out of the game so had to do a lot of guessing. There's now better support that HCS has taken advantage of. But it's still apparently not 100%. I hav...
I've seen several folks say they like using the trim wheels for thrust (the large wheel around (E) for lateral thrust, the small wheel around (i) for vertical thrust). I'd never tried it before, I just used my 8-hat (and my rudder pedals' "brakes") for thrust. But recently I've been doing ...
Also beating an interdiction will remove the npc from the area same as killing it would, just no bounty to cash out. That's definitely not true, at least, not an PS4, as I was getting interdicted and evading, and the moment I suceeded a different NPC interdicted me, and once I got to 6–7 NPC's inte...
You can always run away :) Oh, I know... just as I wrote above, ⋅ when the number of hostiles gets too large, all you're doing is running every time you slow to approach a port, which can turn docking at a 10 Ls from jump point station into a 10-minute ordeal ⋅ the previous ga...
Basically they taught them how to avoid mines, the old drop a shed load of mines tactic no longer works I'm afraid. On the plus side, they also made the interdiction mini-game much easier to win, but if you are stacking a bunch and getting chased by a load of NPCs, then it's still going to be a pai...
I've been playing PC since the beginning, but since the other half has been monopolizing the PC for MMOs lately, I thought I'd give the PS4 version a try. It's been nice to start from the beginning again, though it shocked me how much time I apparently spent learning stuff the first time around, I g...
I'm sorry if I sounded snarky above. I was serious... the hands shaking as I desperately tried to plot a course with 2% hull, and the pit in my stomach when I realized how failing to do a little arithmetic had put me within a razor's edge of being back in a Sidewinder (okay, honestly could probably ...
Every single mission you have has the chance to spawn an interdictor every time you enter a supercruise instance. So more missions = greater chance of interdictions. The type x ships really are way to fragile to handle missions unless you hull tank them to the point of them not really being able to...
Update: Well, that didn't go very well. :-( But I'll put all the blame on myself—my confession of some really winning stupidity to come in a moment—rather than the good advice here. I refitted with the build RJW posted above ( Coriolis link ) and gave it a shot. Repurchased the 15 tonnes of alumini...
