Elite Dangerous 2024

Hey don’t worry about being a rookie. ED has a steep learning curve and it’s not like I’m the worlds best pilot :smile:

Sell them at the refinery construction site. I will start some more this afternoon and maybe jump the carrier to somewhere with commodities to load up.

The carrier won’t let me dock, I don’t know why.

Ok, I will fiddle with the carrier settings when I get home later. I’m not sure why it’s doing that.

EDIT: There are some reports of this happening before and it seems in those instances quitting to desktop and restarting solved the issue. It could be something to do with overloaded servers? ED is very busy at the moment.

Thanks for the tip, it’s working now

Hmm. Awesome, but I didn’t do anything yet. :person_shrugging:

I think you got it right with this- the server are experiencing increased player counts and stuff like this isn’t exactly updated in real time.

I noticed that to see an actual increase in the bar for combat experience I must log out/log in back again.

That would be the planetary surface construction site in the system?

Yes.

I have just got home and I have a couple of bits of work to do. But I will try to get on and place a couple more construction sites around the system. I’ll also look at jumping Fei Lo back into the bubble so we can go and collect commodities. But I’ll give a bit of warning before that happens.

Is the colonization ship still in our system? Because I think I’m still aboard it.

2 Likes

No. The colonisation ship has left.

I’ve started a few construction zones for orbital installations around a few of the moons nearest Roanoke Outpost as well as a small surface settlement down in a spectacular crater. Once these are built they should give us enough construction points to start on some larger infrastructure with large landing pads. I will sort out a buy-order on the Fei Lo and jump it into the bubble this evening - sorry, no time to do any more now :smile:

Let me get onboard so I can help with getting the stuff onto Fei Lo

Craaaaaaaappppp

I wasn’t expecting us to finish the first outpost so fast.

This should make for an interesting experience- looks like I’m about to potentially do a bit of exploring in a half-full Cutter. Thank Jamison I kept my fuel scoop on it.

I found this dependency chart

I’m also putting together a schematics to report modifiers applied to the system- gimme a minute.

Here’s there a direct breakdown on how Orbital structures influence the system

Book1.pdf (185.4 KB)

and the one for Planetary structures

Book2.pdf (207.1 KB)

The good news overall is that only the first ever settlement must be built on a time limit- any subsequent one can be done without issues…

Which brings me to the question to @HavlokUK - would you accept to be bothered to (eventually) help me colonize my system? I would try to load up your carrier as much as possible- I don’t want to force anyone to do something they don’t want. :smiley:

As I said I have literally no idea on when I’ll do it or even which system… but just gauging the interest.

:laughing:

It hopefully shouldn’t be too bad - the chances are you’re in the bubble somewhere. I’ll be jumping the Fei Lo into the bubble this evening, probably around 10-11pm UTC so you can always meet her there. Last time I went to Kano but this time I think I’ll try to drop her right in the middle around Lave or Leesti. That way, whichever direction you are in you shouldn’t have too long a trip. Also, being nice and central maybe sourcing commodities will be easier? :man_shrugging:

Of course! That’s what she’s for - helping with the big tasks. I think let’s try to get as far as a T2 orbital station (asteroid or Coriolis) at Gamma Muscae so that we have a shipyard with large pads, then after that we can develop at whatever pace we like whilst helping each other to colonise.

Oh absolutely! If anything it will take me at least two months before I have enough free time to think about colonizing a system.

Fei Lo is jumping to Lave in about 23 minutes.

Oh… Lave.
Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long… long time.

Nice.

Thinking I want to trade out the Cutter for a new T-8 for a bit, since that will fit on a medium pad.

Plus I just want a new ship.
