Elite Dangerous : Commander, this is ground control

[blork]

Les meilleures missions du jeux sont celle du tuto. Les seules avec une personne qui te parles, et franchement ca change tout.

ah bin vi, c'est ça qui manque en fait. Best exemple ever.

[MrSkiz]

C'est pas ce que suggérait l'article de PCgamesN justement : des voiceovers pendant les missions et un peu d'interactions et de décisions à prendre pendant celles-ci ?

“Calling nearby military units,” the megaship says. “We’re under attack. Please provide support.” It’s a distress call. You can tell because the lady on the intercom sounds, beneath her curt professionalism, distressed.

As it so happens, we’re flying a nearby military unit – but decide to turn the megaship down. Another voice, gruff and male, crackles in. “Glad to have you with us, commander.” A set of objectives materialise on the UI: we’re to help the pirates cripple the megaship.

“What’s really lovely is that this is utilising things that players are already doing,” executive producer Adam Woods interjects, “like datalink scanning. But we can add a little bit of direction.”

The gruff voice comes in again, suggesting we use our scanner to identify weak points on the megaship. Aha: now the cruiser’s many vulnerable fuel canisters are highlighted for the duration of the fight. We’ll need to blow up 15 of them to bring the megaship to a standstill.

[golwin]

Je suis à Colonia en ce moment et j'aimerais faire le tour des POI mais il semble que beaucoup aient disparu.
Par exemple les champignons sur Colonia 3CA, 47.21 / -174.16 indiqués par remlok-industries.fr n'existent plus.
Vous auriez des POI récents à me conseiller ?

[Truebadour]

Je sais pas, le nouvel ingé peut-être ?

Résumé du stream d'hier soir par Obsidian Ant :

[paprikka6]

Hello.

Petite question commandants. Lors de certains transports de vip, même avec un niveau de recherche bas, je me fais exploser à l'entrée des stations.

Comment faire pour les amener à bon port ?

[Sellig]

Tu transportes sans doute des VIP recherchés.

[Tilt]

Donc il suffit d'éviter les scans des vaisseaux de sécurité.

[paprikka6]

Comment je fais ça ? Ils sont devant la porte.

[Taro]

De mémoire, il faut que tu passes en mode furtivité et que tu débarques à toute vitesse dans la station

[revanwolf]

De mémoire, il faut que tu passes en mode furtivité et que tu débarques à toute vitesse dans la station

Ou être copain avec la faction qui contrôle la station(ils sont plus laxiste dans ce cas) et tu as la solution de rentrer le plus vite possible dans la station(de préférence après avoir demandé l'appontage).

Et être aligné avec l'entrée de la station avant de passer en espace normal aide aussi pour éviter de se faire scanner.

[paprikka6]

Ah bon sang le mode furtif... J'ai complètement zappé cette fonction...

Rentrer à fond les ballons je vais essayer pour le fun. Merci ������

[Tilt]

Et si tu commences à te faire scanner tu peux larguer un heatsink ça va interrompre le scan la plupart du temps.

[moutaine]

et si tu commence a te faire scanner mais que tu passe la porte avant la fin, c'est bon.

Perso je suis face à la porte et sasn mode furtif et sans y aller comme un bourrin ça passe toujours large.

[HBK]

D’une manière générale transporter du VIP recherché ça peut être rigolo mais c’est très dangereux. Un scan mal placé et tu te fais pulvériser. Faut pas se laisser avoir par la récompense alléchante, transporter du péon est nettement moins prise de tête et est au final à peu près aussi rentable.

[blork]

Tout a été dit. Aller un peu loin pour bien s'aligner face à la porte, les patrouilles sont en cercle autour de cette dernière, donc passer près des patrouilles, c'est déjà favoriser le scan. Ensuite, il y allait de manière soutenu et utiliser le mode furtif et les heatsinks si ça scan.

Coté rentabilité, je suis monté à 100 millions pour 1h30, dont 50 sans être devant le PC. J'ai un beluga rempli de cabine qui fait des trajet Parutis -> 36 Opiuchi. En revanche, faut quelques déco / reco pour remplir toutes les cabines, même si on fait toutes les stations de Parutis.

Comment ça "sans être devant le PC".
Il y a une option d'autopilotage maintenant ?

[blork]

Comment ça "sans être devant le PC".
Il y a une option d'autopilotage maintenant ?

nan. En fait, je me charge de passager plus ou moins VIP (j'ai de l'éco, du buisness, du First Class et Luxe), et après je fais un saut, et c'est un vol unique en supercruise vers la station qui dure 45-50 mn. Résultat, je peux être intercepter que la 1ere minute après mon saut, ou 2-3 minutes avant de docker à destination.
Résultat, je remplie les cabines, je fais mon saut, je pointe la station, et au bout d'1 mn, je peux laisser le pc tourner et aller passer l'aspiro. Même si y a un gars qui veut m'intercepter, vu l'accélération et la vitesse que je vais avoir dans le supercruise, il m'interdira qu'à la fin du voyage.

Pas d'autopilot, juste que je vole tout droit à fond.

Beyond - Chapter Four - Pre-Beta Announcement

Hello Commanders,

Here's a special message from Game Director, Laurence Oldham, about the upcoming beta for Beyond - Chapter Four:

Dear Commanders,

It is with a feeling of anticipation and excitement that later today we release Beyond – Chapter Four’s open PC beta, giving you the first opportunity to get your hands on with the biggest Elite Dangerous update of 2018 ahead of its official launch later this year. With that in mind, I wanted to explain how the beta process works for the newest Commanders among you and how we can work together to make this a successful beta phase for Chapter Four.

It’s been a long journey since we first announced our plans for this Chapter at Frontier Expo in October 2017 and we have been hard at work ever since, implementing many ambitious ideas and taking a deep look into aspects like Elite’s Background Simulation, Codex, and Exploration; just a few of the features you’ll be able to test during the first part of our open beta from this afternoon.

However, our journey is not yet complete.

Chapter Four will be the biggest influx of new content for Elite Dangerous in 2018 and it represents the culmination of our combined efforts during many months of development. To ensure the results will be as good as we can possibly make them, we would invite you to join us in this final opportunity to identify and fix any issues together. For us, this open beta is a vital part of the development process and our hope is that you, our dedicated community, will participate, enjoy, and let us know what you experience. Any problems you encounter during your travels, please take the time to report them to us here. Having this one central location for all Commanders to register feedback is very important as it allows us to easily collate and register comments, bugs, and suggestions. We have assigned a dedicated team to track all your reports as they come in and we are committed to improving Chapter Four based on your observations.

As we progress through the weeks, new features and new content will become available for you to try out and report on.

We are currently completing our pre-flight checks and we expect to be ready to launch shortly after 15:00 UTC. All that’s left is to say a huge thank you to everyone taking part, I really hope you enjoy it.

Laurence
Keep an eye on the forums for more news soon!

Beyond - Chapter Four - Beta 1

Hello Commanders,

Please find the beta patch notes for the first week of beta.

Exploration

Discovery Scanner upgraded to include access to the new Full Spectral System (FSS) scanner mode
Players use the FSS Mode to discover stellar bodies, stellar phenomenon, USSs, scenarios, distress calls, mission targets and more
There is now only one Discovery Scanner available in game, that is based on the basic variant. Commanders that have purchased either the intermediate or advanced scanners will receive a credit refund

Added "First Mapped By" tag - the first commander to 100% map a stellar body and sell the data at a port will be named for everyone to see
Players will be unable to map Sol, Achenar or Alioth as these systems are already fully mapped

A credit bonus will be awarded for players that get either 100% first discovered or 100% first mapped in a system (these will not carry over to the live servers)

[Darshyne]

Rien que les scenarios donnent envie de revenir.

[revanwolf]

Il y a un nouveau vaisseau visible dans la bétà(en plus du Krait Phantom vu dans les trailers) qui viens du 1er Elite le Mamba que je trouve assez joli.







Dans le jeu original c'était un vaisseau de course apparemment, ça pourrait être marrant dans les canyon.

[Mark Havel]

Ça ressemble vachement à un Vulture un peu allongé non ?

[revanwolf]

Un Vulture avec un bodykit et les moteurs du Fer-de-Lance.

[revanwolf]

De nouvelles images du Mamba qui serait de classe moyenne et fabriqué par Zorgon Peterson et apparemment équipe avec un armement de un classe 4/deux classe 3 et deux classe 1.

Ça pourrait être une bonne alternative au Fer-de-Lance.

Et les vaisseaux de passagers Orca/Dolphin/Beluga auront plus de modules internes réservé.

[Mark Havel]

Sympa ces photos supplémentaires du Mamba. Un peu étrange qu'il porte un nom de serpent comme les vaisseaux de Faulcon DeLacy cela dit.

Je viens de voir la petite diffusion de Frontier sur les escadrons et le minage v. 2.0, rien de bien nouveau si on a déjà lu un peu ce que le dernier patch va apporter.

Le moteur de recherche pour se trouver un petit escadron a l'air bien sympathique, on peut filtrer sur des trucs comme la faction, la superpuissance, le style de jeu ou des détails pratiques comme les disponibilités, le fuseau horaire ou la langue parlée. Apparemment, il y aura une espèce de compétition et les 3 meilleurs auront droit à un petit trophée à mettre dans leur vaisseau. Il y a tout le nécessaire pour déléguer des pouvoirs, candidater, envoyer des messages, un canal de discussions,... Tout ça peut donc s'affilier à une superpuissances, une faction locale et une faction Powerplay histoire de jouer sur la simulation. Ça me rappelle les souvenirs que j'ai des guildes dans World of Warcraft donc ça devrait être pas mal.

Le minage v2, comme l'exploration, est un ajout supplémentaire. Si on veut toujours pointer un laser de minage paresseusement sur un astéroïde et laisser les drones récupérer les morceaux on peut. On peut aussi maintenant utiliser le nouveau scanner de surface, envoyer une sonde sur les anneaux d'une planète pour les analyser et repérer les coins intéressants à aller miner, qui apparaissent dans le panneau de navigation. Après, il y a un autre scan qui permet de repérer les cailloux les plus prometteurs et le drone de prospection permet ensuite de repérer les dépôts en surface, souterrains et les fissures. Pour chacun, il y a nouvel outil de minage. Si on met des bombes dans les fissures, on peut casser l'astéroïde en petits morceaux, qui expose de nouveaux dépôts de surface (sur les débris, à l'intérieur). Par contre, si on reste trop près lors de l'explosion, on peut vite morfler méchamment, et les débris restant assez proches les uns des autres, il faudra certainement faire attention avec un Anaconda ou un Cutter. Comme pour l'exploration, on passe d'une activité assez passive à un vrai mini jeu. Les missiles pour les dépôts souterrains fonctionnent un peu comme le flak anti-thargoïde, il faut les lancer et maintenir le bouton de tir jusqu'à arriver dans une zone bleue. Les mines pour casser l'astéroïde doivent être bien placées, avec la bonne charge (à choisir entre petite, moyenne et forte) pour éviter d'en faire trop et de perdre des ressources. Une fois la première lancée, on a deux minutes avant que ça n'explose, mais on peut aussi désarmer ou au contraire faire péter tout de suite.

Vivement la sortie du patch. J'ai un peu essayé la bêta aujourd'hui, c'est pas mal du tout même si j'ai plein de bugs dans tous les sens. Avec les nouveautés de l'exploration, je viens de voir que je n'ai plus assez de boutons disponibles sur mon HOTAS pour tout mettre.

[revanwolf]

Sympa ces photos supplémentaires du Mamba. Un peu étrange qu'il porte un nom de serpent comme les vaisseaux de Faulcon DeLacy cela dit.

Même chez Zorgon Peterson leurs vaisseaux ont des noms de serpents: le Adder,Hauler et même le Fer-de-Lance sont des serpents.

Donc un vaisseau appellé Mamba chez ZP est pas idiot.

Il y a aussi quelques photos du Krait Phantom qui est assez étonnant(un Krait Mk2 à la sauce guardian).

[toramo]

nan. En fait, je me charge de passager plus ou moins VIP (j'ai de l'éco, du buisness, du First Class et Luxe), et après je fais un saut, et c'est un vol unique en supercruise vers la station qui dure 45-50 mn. Résultat, je peux être intercepter que la 1ere minute après mon saut, ou 2-3 minutes avant de docker à destination.
Résultat, je remplie les cabines, je fais mon saut, je pointe la station, et au bout d'1 mn, je peux laisser le pc tourner et aller passer l'aspiro. Même si y a un gars qui veut m'intercepter, vu l'accélération et la vitesse que je vais avoir dans le supercruise, il m'interdira qu'à la fin du voyage.
Pas d'autopilot, juste que je vole tout droit à fond.

Le jeu de l'emmerdement maximal quoi

Sinon plus sérieusement, sur le patch note, j'attends de voir ce que ça donne leur histoire de scénario.
Mais si c'est encore un truc random sans queue ni tête qui n'aide pas à comprendre le Lore et le galnet c'est déjà useless à mes yeux.

Les améliorations concernant l'exploration, cela n'apporte rien au jeu hormis du temps de gagné pour qui voudrait scanner un système.
Cela n'apporte rien qui pousse à faire de l'explo... L'exploration c'est un jeu de piste, de recherche et de découverte.
Pas un travail d'usine qui consiste à effectuer 1 million de fois la même opération.

Mais je salue l'effort sur le suivi du jeu quand même.

Euh justement la boucle d'exploration comme celle du minage s'est complexifié au contraire , les boucles trop courtes ça à toujours été le problème d'élite.

Le codex peut être vu comme une incitation à la découverte, accompagné de la carte galactique désormais découpée en secteurs, qui va avec les découvertes que l'on peut y faire. Je ne sais pas s'ils ont prévu de modifier les missions d'explorations avec des passagers. Mais elles existent déjà, elles donnent un mois pour les faire et il faut déjà se balader à plusieurs milliers d'AL pour les accomplir. On pourrait imaginer étendre un peu le système pour dire, au lieu d'aller dans un système précis, de demander d'aller dans un secteur et d'essayer de trouver des trucs, genre des geysers, des planètes à terraformer, des ruines à trouver... En se basant sur les rumeurs et les rapports, ça pourrait peut-être fonctionner et donner une motivation supplémentaire, si les 10 expéditions partant chaque mois n'en sont pas déjà...
