Hi Graham, yep, being 11 hours ahead of UTC will do that :) I'm doing great. We've got most things sorted to the point where we can start socializing again just in time for Christmas. It's been great to catch up with friends and family.

Yes :) Luckily, we're not near those two large factions, but we have our own fun because we're so close to Kumo.

Hi there - you need an Artemis suit. Go to any Pioneer supplies and you can buy a Grade 1 suit. If you go to the Frontier Forums, there's a "Sharing is Caring" thread, find when someone posts about an Artemis suit, go buy it. G3 is great for basically pretty much all exobiologists out there.

Thanks! Yep, back to Australia. Onwards and upwards!

That's great feedback. Sorry for the delay in replying - I was moving countries. Have you had a chance to work it out yet, or should I do another video that explains it better (and shorter :-)

100% agreed!

No, it's not a Mac. I've only got a PC these days. I use Windows 11 24H2

Yes. It was before first coffee.

Try now. It's not worth it, but it should work

No, they're bonds, and they don't count any more.

I'm at rank 26 so far, mainly because I'm packing my house to move back to Australia, working $dayjob and diplomacy, and helping coordinate our stuff, ... so long story short, I'm spread too thinly! Excuses, excuses, I know.

Will do! o7 Cmdr!

i thought it was Holly from Red Dwarf

​@@LoudTalker1 Leo is indeed Mr Norman Lovatt (lovely guy, met him at ECM) who I first thought sounded like Baldrick from Black Adder!😂

You're absolutely right. Honestly, though, they need to bump up the other activities to be the level of rare goods trading, rather than nerf rare good trading down. That way, everyone benefits, rather than a game loop be nerfed into the ground. This is why FDev needed to give PP 2.0 to PP players instead of streamers. We would have been able to have leveled all the things prior to launch, so if your first love is ground combat, that would be equal to rare good trading or exobiology. FDev is going to be wielding the nerf hammer for months at this rate.

I agree with the bump in merits all the way around. It becomes especially dangerous when you are bounty hunting, and scooping up the drops at the same time. I hade around 20 or so escape pods in my inventory and enemies were starting to jump in by the groups. My poor vette took a huge beating in the end and used all of the two banks worth of shield cells just to stay alive. I barely got away with 15% hull, no ammo, and some very sweaty palms. Lol. There was at least 12 ships attacking me. 😮‍💨​@vanderaj

Thank you - I *eventually* found it. I knew it existed, but thanks for the hint!

Yep

Not in any way shape or form. There's lot of game loops to be involved with instead of just two, one of which was loss making

dude at this point its your fault sorry... Fdev made it ABUNDANTLY clear when the update will come...

@Azurie-e9s i heard about PP 2.0 but they often delay release date . ~ 1 month waiting and I nearly put my hand on Prismatic Shield and now all the time i spent were useless , locked after ton of grinding

I hope you don't. You can get ALL of the modules within 12 months with some application to a Power and ethos you like. The old system sucked.

BGS is background simulation. It runs the economy and all the dynamic things in a system with population. You can manipulate the BGS for fun and profit. PowerPlay 2.0 is coming, please come to my livestream once the Ascendancy Update is released (on or shortly after October 28), and I will explain more fully in the first few minutes what PowerPlay is, and why you should get involved (and you should definitely get involved, it's going to be great!). The point of factions is to create a contest for systems and thus things for folks interested in faction management to do in the game. If you're not interested in factions, then you can ignore it - there's a heap of other things to do within Elite. It's three hours because I like streams between 3 to 4 hours in length. Many of the most popular streamers go for 8 or more hours, but I don't like that, it's a huge time committment for not only my viewers, but also myself. Is the issue that I didn't explain myself well enough, and thus it might have been a shorter stream if I had? I'm happy to take constructive feedback on improving my streams.

@vanderaj wow thanks this was an amazing response I'm fairly nee to elite only 500h I'm really excited to see this 2.0 if I can't make ot live ima defo watch the vod, sorry if I sounded rude lol I shouldn't assume all content is like "beginner friendly" or something now I think about it it would be kinda annoying for ur long time viewers to listen to u explai everything over and over =p

Glad you like them!

It gets even better with PowerPlay 2.0. The Top Cmdr in a PP power will get 1 billion credits a week. The Top 10 each get 100 million credits a week. The mini care packages give you raw materials for engineering. You get to keep your merits as you rank up, and so eventually, you'll have access to all the PowerPlay modules like prismatic shields and so on. Plus, there's a heap of new activities to do, so many I can't list them all. Starts October 28!

Thanks for watching!

Check out my upcoming Saturday livestream. Is that better?

There might be a new module for the new power, but they aren't re-balancing the existing ones. The good news they did tell us is that every Power will provide every module as ever increasing rating perks, so you no longer need to module shop, just do stuff for your preferred powers. This will open up so many interesting modules to me, that I've not bothered with to this point.

It's the nature of testing a game in a huge sandbox inhabited by many others. I'm just glad it was possible to test cleanly at all.

My pleasure!

I use an 2020 COVID era AMD Ryzen 3900 X (8 c/16 t) @ 3.9 GHz, with 64 GB of RAM, ~ 5 TB of SSD storage, and the most recent upgrade was a NVidia 4070, 'cos it was heavily discounted just before the 4070 Super came out. I use a Dell 27" 1440p at 60 Hz main monitor and a Lenovo 24" 1440p at 60 Hz monitor, so I cap Elite Dangerous in Ultra settings at 1440p @ 60 Hz to reduce fan noise and to ensure a smooth and consistent frame rate, which gives OBS plenty of free cycles to do its encoding for the stream without stuttering. I have OBS capturing the game at 15000 kb/s at 60 fps at 1440p so you get a high quality stream, and the recordings look good. The 4070 can actually run ED at > 140 fps, but the monitor can't, so there's no point in running a high and inconsistent frame rate, and causing OBS to stutter.

I know, right? Totally a classic move for me! :)

I did say that if it's not open only, then it should be overwhelmingly in favor of being open, so bonuses to open play, or as you mention, lesser results for solo / PG play. I'd like to see the end of folks having the ability to be phantoms and for us to not know who is doing things.

That would be my vote, also.

Thank you! Once PP 2.0 is released, there will be a lot of PP 2.0 streams coming up before I move. I'll also do a stream on buying, outfitting and engineering the Mandalay.

@@vanderaj Will look forward to them 👍

You're more than welcome to join me. I'll definitely be doing another Elite Dangereuse Adventure this coming Sunday. I'll make a post where we will be starting from later this week.

Thanks for the reminder! Updated both the build and a link to the adventures!

o7 Cmdr :) Yeah, I knew it had something to do with that, but it was flummoxing in the moment.

Glad you like the content! Let me know if you'd like to see any topics covered in particular. I'm always struggling to find interesting content for you folks :)
