Of course, I forgot to buy limpets! :roll:

Then I tried using two collectors at once, and they expired very quickly. I think I remember something about this being a bug over a year ago - have they not fixed it yet? When I just used one collector, it lasted a long time, and even followed me from asteroid to asteroid.


If you have anything targeted when you deploy the collector it will pick up that specific item put it in your hold and die. ;)

If you want them to work automatically make sure you have nothing targeted. I am using six collectors and they work as advertised.

Yup ^^^ this. Also, make sure that nothing blocks a direct line of sight between your ship and the collectors. They'll crash into a rock and splatter them self if it's in the path between the item they're collecting and your cargo bay.

Gives a wave from the Triffid Nebula.

Mission accomplished. Now where to go...

I must remember to drop some Lavian Brandy to Felicity, to thank her for the FSD tweaks.

If you are in a dense ring, use the selfie cam to also check for sufficient clearance UNDER your ship. If you happen to float above another asteroid, roll ship until there is free space below. Otherwise, the collectors will crash into that asteroid without fail.

These things are called collector lemmings for a reason...

I didn't have anything targeted. I did read about that before starting.

They may have crashed into something and died, but when I've used just one since I've had no problems. I'll try two again now that I have a little more experience.

Thanks. ;)
It's time to give this another go.

Looking at all the pretty colors.. Seriously, wtf! Elite in 2560x1440 at 144Hz is.. insane. The blacks are so black. It's so dark, it's as if the pixel is off. (I joke). It's insane. Sitting in dock somewhere, I forget where since I don't ahve my HOTAS plugged up and thus am limited, I am just amazed. Flew around a Cuboid in a training mission, and the colors, clarity, and frame rate are just nuts.

I imagine coming from 1080p it does look pretty good, even if stretched over a larger area. Have you tried super sampling? Try 1.5, and if your card can take it, 2.0 - the toaster has almost no aliasing, which is always the worst for that. :)

Deleted my last response as I've just exited Elite.

WIth supersampling on, at 2560x1440 and 2.0, I was getting 70-77FPS standard, flying fast and close through an Ice Field. With Supersampling set to 1.0, I was staying at 128FPS. Just didn't move really.
