Planetary Navigation Guide

I posted this in the FD forums, but I realize not everyone wants to visit that site. So here is my 'refresher' on planetary navigation in Elite. Below is a video that should help pilots navigate on a planet to a set of lat/long coordinates. I just explain lat/long and my best method for getting to a...

Re: "Elite:Dangerous is a game, not work!"

This is going to sound salty, but I am so tired of the 'I want it now, with no effort' crowd, who can't see the forest... There is no money shortage in the game. Money grows on friggin space trees now. As JL said, you can easily get in a Conda in a month, tops. The forums have people doing it in a d...

Re: Am i Wrong though?

Anything can be a grind if you make it so. I picked two nearby systems that I could flip to Fed by working for the minor factions there. That meant I did everything in the game you can do to support that (missions, trade, bounty farming, war, etc). The rank came as a by-product, and it was fun. Howe...

Re: The Mobius Evolution

Any word on better tools to admin the groups?

What about a pve open? Last I got from DB in one of the live stream Q&A's was that "it's a challenge", which made me think it's not really on the list.

Re: Elite Dangerous Guardians 2.2 and 1.7 Release Date

I'm a bit salty when it comes to alien artifacts and bboard 'mysteries', since only the Cannon guys are involved due to solving everything in 5 min. Basically, by the time you see it in game somehow, or in the forums, they already have it solved. They even shut down threads in the FD forums about it...

Re: The Thrill is Gone

I understand that too. I keep coming back to the 'only thing' for me to do is support a minor faction to try to flip the system or see them expand. You have to do a lot of different things to make that happen, but doing them feels more like work than having fun playing a space game, which is how it ...

Re: Elite Dangerous Newsletter #146

What is that in front of the Beluga on the right?

Looks like an old fashioned (1950's) UFO.

Re: CH Pro Throttle Warning

How did you get the 7/8 cal to stick? Did you use win cal or ch software cal? I could never get ED to see it is why I ask. I don't know - hit apply? Badum-Tishhh! :roll: I'm using the CH Control Manager (I thought win cal wen't away with Windows 7). Anyway, I just hold the mini stick at full deflec...

Re: 1440p Monitor Selection

Thanks for trying anyway! Surround is so finicky that I am about to just stop using it anyway. I am now stuck on the fence between the 34" ROG 1440 and Acer pred 4k. Fears about games properly supporting 3440x1440 on one hand, and fears about only 60hz with the 4k on the other. I guess a monito...

Re: CH Pro Throttle Warning

The only thing I have noticed, even when I was on 7, is that if you cal the throttle to some a physical setting of, say, 7/8 of the throw, to be 'max' in the software, ED doesn't recognize that. You still have to move the throttle to max throw to get max throttle in ED. Weird. That may be true, but...
