Most CMDRs don’t realize that under the functions tab on the right panel there is an option called ‘reboot and repair’. This temporarily disables all of your ship’s functions, but can repair essential modules by cannibalizing parts from less essential ones. This situation shouldn’t happen too often, but in case it happens to you, just know that you don’t need to self-destruction get back to a station.

You don't understand power priorities and the priority guidance you have provided in this guide only serves to further wide spread mis-information on the topic. Make sure you account for all three malfunction levels in guides related to power priorities otherwise people following your guides will only be able to handle running over power - and not handle the issues that occur when the powerplant malfunctions. There are 3 malfunctions: - Impact, when the plant is directly struck, reducing output to 40% - Collapse, when the plant hits 0% integrity, reduces output to 20% for a few seconds. - Recovery, after the collapse is done, it maintains a consistent output of 50% until the plant is triggered to explode, resulting in death, repaired to 1% with reboot & repair and returns to 100% output, another impact malfunction is experienced (which can happen when already at 0%) or the ship is destroyed. As such powerplant priorities should fall within the following rule-set: Priority 1 should never hit or exceed 20% consumption Priority 2 should never hit or exceed 40% consumption Priority 3 should never hit or exceed 50% consumption Priority 4 is anything you want on with hardpoints deployed. Priority 5 is anything you want to turn off automatically when weapons are deployed and over 100% total power consumption. The only time you should deviate from this method is when you are doing complex organization of many modules being used when over-powered, such as strategically organizing Shield Cell Banks so that they disable in sequence when turning on the next one. Like this topic; you also missed a huge amount of strategic uses of turrets in your guide bashing them, that land outside the realm of how much damage they can do. I suggest you do more research on these topics in the future.

I gave your comment a thumbs up because it seems like a really good point about Module Priority (to base them on power percentage rather than simply by type, defensive, offensive etc), and it was explained in a clear way - but the condescension (first sentence + final paragraph) was really unnecessary, esp given the breadth of content Exigeous has put time and effort into creating for the ED community. He generally seems very open to being corrected.

What you do is select the NPC who is on the pad, Request Docking, You will get a declined docking request then select the NPC again and Request Docking for a second time, this will force that pad-hogger off the pad and away from the station allowing you to successfully request docking a permission once the pad has reset itself after the NPC's departure. -Cant find where your pad is in a large station? Once you have requested docking and have entered through the mail slot your Compass/Nav Ball will point you in the direction of your booked pad.

Thats less efficient if the destination is all that matters, sure, but I did it occasionally to explore specific regions on the way to somewhere else. And there it happened, that I couldn´t make a jump I had planned after I fully refueled and had to make a detour, which was mildly annoying. It can also help occasionally for a jump or two (e.g. escape persistent pursuit on a mission or PvP) if you had to compromise on the fuel scoop in your built, for lack of money, room or weight. It´s niche , and risky, and you should have a Post-It with the FuelRat´s number on your navpanel. But it´s fun to supercharge a ship with large tank on half-empty and see just how far you can get. Coriolis let´s you check the difference between max Jump fuelled (empty cargo, full tank) and absolute max (empty cargo, just enough fuel) for your build. It can be several lightyears without supercharge, so with a neutron star, it can really matter.

i don't know how useful this is for FA on pilots, but i find cargo scoop boosting very helpful in FA off. A lot of times, you just need to change the vector of your ship quickly without overtaking your opponent. I learned this watching some PVP'ers do it. When you boost, you get a sudden burst of power to your main thrusters. When you hold a directional thruster during the boost, a majority of that power goes thru the held directional thruster. Combining that with the cargo scoop's ability to limit your ship's overall speed, you can use it to quickly change your vector without overtaking. You boost, and open the cargo scope directly after the boost. Then you can change your vector by holding down the desired directional thrusters. You can also adjust when you open the scoop to limit your speed as your ship is accelerating to its maximum boost speed. It's pretty useful when you're in a haz-rez, and you want to use asteroids for cover by weaving in and out of asteroids, or boosting to catch up with an enemy that's currently trying to low/high wake out, and you don't want to suddenly pass them. Takes a bit of practice to use effectively in combat, but i found it very helpful. Probably doesn't fit in these basic tips

you can actually push it further than that, the super cruise assist lets you exit supercruise at any speed as long as you are within the correct distance. The problem is the game only checks your distance probably once per frame, so 60 times a second (not actually sure what the rate is). So if you do it at 3 seconds, you arrive at some speed that is guaranteed to check the distance while you are within the correct distance, but you can be lucky and arrive at much higher speeds. The highest I've done I think is 20C

You even get a message now letting you know when you need to scoop at a star to prevent running out of fuel. While plotting through scoopable stars will make you feel more assured, it's really not that necessary anymore (unless you're in a vanilla sidewinder) and will certainly result in less discovery data than plotting through "not-visited". #3 Which brings us to the next bit of dated info... honking. Honking does nothing now. Whether you honk or not, you still get the discovery data on entry into a new system now. Test it. Sell your discovery data, jump through non-visited systems. You'll still get the data. Change went into effect when they got rid of the 3 classes of discovery scanners. #11 This one you just left-out a rather important piece of information. If you find yourself in your SRV and your SHIP gets destroyed, logging out and back in to Elite without Horizons will actually resurrect your destroyed ship and save you the cost of a re-buy.

I've got 400+ hours in, but I still consider myself a noob. That being said, I set my jump routes for scoopable stars only. It'll get you to where you need to go without running out of fuel, but you're going to miss a lot of weird and strange cosmic phenomenon. Once you get the mapping jump routes down, go exploring in star systems that aren't scoopable. You're more likely to discover something new or strange that way. Just don't forget to swing by a scoopable star if you're running low on fuel. edit: old college class trick: to remember which stars are scoopable, try to remember "Oh Be a Fine Girl, Kiss Me". Only O, B, F, G, K, and M stars are scoopable.

I think, you're wrong, about routing. As far as I see, current routers do take scooping into account, and you probably could't run out of fuel on route (unless you skip scooping on star, marked as last scoopable). However, you, probably, could fly to destination without fuel, and get stuck if your destination is non-scoopable and uninhabited. So, you, probably don't really need to route thru KGBFOAM filter.

Agreed. I've spent many hours on the neutron highway and the route planner has always included enough scoopable stars so I'm never at risk of running out of fuel. I would assume the same logic applies to non-neutron routes.

I can confirm that the default plotting will take the scoopable stars into account. It even warn you when you reach the last scoopable star in your path. The only bad case would be the in the edge of the galaxy (where there's only few stars) or the clusters of L/Y stars. In 6000 hours of exploration, I never run out of fuel without really thinking about it.

Well, it looks like I do 3 things right... probably. I started playing ED back in 2017 or so, and seven years later I don't even try to do what I know I should do. Why? Because I still don't know how to do them using my mouse and keyboard. I don't know which keys and buttons to push because no one (especially Frontier) provides basic instructions. And I'm talking really BASIC. For instance, I would love to gather minerals and materials from the many planets I visit. I even have an SRV to putter around in, but I'll be damned if I know how to aim its gun at a target without having to aim with the entire SRV. Doesn't the gun have a swivel or something so you can point it at something simply and quickly? Probably, but hell if I know what button or combination to push. I still haven't figured out how to keep the SRV from lurching around after I've come to a stop, so I prefer not to drive it at all. When I look for lifeforms to scan, I WALK to them. It's much less frustrating than fighting with SRV controls. Oh, and if I walk too far from my ship (a mistake, probably), the damn thing takes off without me and leaves me stranded on the planet surface. I guess I could recall it, but... how? What button do I push to bring it back? Frontier doesn't tell me. So, if I happen to be high up on a cliff, the easiest thing to do is to jump off and commit suicide. So, I don't mine because I don't know what controls to use... I don't fight other ships because I can't maneuver too good or set the guns up properly... I don't filter out non-scoopable stars, but I don't run out of fuel either because I have three huge tanks and a big fuel scoop to keep them full with. Yeah, I was pledged to some Imperial lady, but I wasn't doing anything for her because I had other priorities; now I'm pledged to Zachary Hudson, but only so I can gain some Federation rank and visit Earth for the first time in 7 years. As for those pips... well, I still accidentally press my pip buttons when I just want to manueuver the ship a little. But since all I really need is an engine boost when I'm landing on some planet, I pretty much leave them alone. Anyway, I would do more if I knew how to do them. Maybe instead of simply telling your viewers WHAT to do, you could spend a few seconds telling them HOW to do things, too. Heck, even Frontier could do that... probably.

At least in Horizons lol Edit: I just read the comment above once more and I dont understand... You should select only those two star types, K and M, deselect the other scoopable stars :D

I'm enjoying tootling around in my Cobra. Meanwhile CR are slowly piling up in my safe. (Or is it all in my mattress?) Why do I need to take big jumps? I'll miss so many interesting systems. Oh well, to each his own. If money and speed are what it's all about to you, go for it.

Saying we're "probably" doing it wrong when you're talking about stuff we can only possibly do by fighting strikes me as kind of annoying. It's making light of a frustrating situation in games like these - the lack of non-combat content. Many of us prefer to roleplay, and many of us prefer not to go through open world games murdering people and beings for loot. I realize that's not your fault, but it would be nice if content creators would mention when stuff is impossible to do without combat, and avoid saying (even jokingly) that we're "probably" doing it wrong.

Though all of these are worth while, they are basically part of the learning curve. Most player will state they have played for months and even years. However, those don't state how many hours one has invested during those moneths and years. Two player's which both state they have played for the same amout of weeks, months and even years can actually very. But in reality, how many actual hours did each play makes a significant difference. Personally I have according to the tally which the game provides only a few months. But those months include the total number of actual hours. One day of play as recorded in the game is 24 actual hours, thus one month works out to be 720 actual hours of play. Some player only play a couple of hours per day if that. Which would be works out to be only 60 hours for a 30 day month. Hence the learning curve would be longer.

The nav filter needs a spot for "mission related". Nothing bothers me more than a futuristic game that doesn't have technology we consider common today. I should be able to open a mission, click on the destination, have it locked in waiting for me when I leave the station. There should be an icon on the scanner telling me where my jump point is. And when I get to the target system there should also be an icon pointing towards the destination. These basic functions are available in all but the cheapest phones today. There's no excuse for them to be missing from spaceships 1,000 years in the future. I don't know what sort of "gameplay" the devs think they would deny us by giving us basic navigation.
