  • Discord Lobby channel

    Wouldn't be more effective to ban offending user? On another discord server I blocked one of users with above mentioned mindset bcs I do not have there admin rights ... with them I would kick him out. Or temporary at least ... I learned firsthand that trying to discussing opposite opinions with some people is simply not working. Easiest way (effective to self pressure and adrenaline level :) ) is say that such stuff do not belongs here.


    Imo there should be always respect to admin, be that in game or discord or forums. If it is missing, then showing to non-cooperating person an exit-doors is in my book right action. Pinning post about rules is just a bonus. In relation to discord usage I prefer to have one "off-topic" or universal channel when is another one used for chat about concrete game ... it helps avoid spam or off-topic moments which from time to time happens even in the best organised discord servers.


    Btw, it is just my opinion or something to think about as alternative. I think that this portal discord server showed his usefulness.

  • PC upgrade

    Searching for RAM modules:

    • 32GB: Kingston Fury Beast Black 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000 CL36, AMD EXPO ... XMP Profile #1: DDR5-6000 CL36-38-38 @1.35V ... those are low profile which may be good idea with chosen Noctua cooler.
    • 16GB: Kits with 2x8GB have much less options, I found only Kingston Fury Beast Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR5 6000 CL40 with XMP Profile #1: DDR5-6000 CL40-40-40 @1.35V (those are also low profile)

    both kits are in chosen MB compatibility list

  • PC upgrade

    Ohh … lol, I thought that board can use both types 😄 …. Well, this clearly was not the most brilliant show of pc building knowledge. And not even reading skills since they write it in descriptions with bold letters 😂. Thx, it means to add ram modules to my list.


    16 or 32GB? ... not sure if todays gaming need more as16?


    hmm ... it looks like there may be good idea chose ram with XMP support since i use intel build. Need dig little deeper in this.

  • PC upgrade

    Going little higher as was my initial personal price limit, but here is current pick:

    • Fractal Design Focus 2 Black Solid (case)
    • Be quiet! PURE POWER 11 700W
    • MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI
    • Intel Core i7-13700K
    • Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black

    For GPU will be aim at RTX 4070 or 4070 Ti, but this is coming later :) . I may also reconsider buying 2x8 GB DDR5 ram modules, but this also later.


    edit: 4070 seems may be better choice: https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/result/1jc1fl/1/general-tasks/1920x1080/

  • PC upgrade

    And OP was right about my reasons for gradual upgrade ... money are playing important role (anyone have own experience with family budget and wife's look on playing games? ;)), and this is a main reason why I want buy graphic card later, ideally split the total price in half. With more digging about hardware choices I start think whether go for more performance CPU (up to Intel Core i7-13700K)


    ... I very likely will stay in 1080p, but some of new games are quite demanding for power of CPUs and GPUs at once.

  • PC upgrade

    For CPU cooling I think about this: Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black ... it clearly is not a cheap cooler, but should do its work very well. Water_cooling is not my cup of tea and the same are AMD builds ... it may be shiny and perfect, but here I'm traditionalist and going with Intel. With this I think even more about new case including PSU ... my PC's case is older more as 15 years :)

  • PC upgrade

    It looks like my RAM (HW info shows module name: KHX3200C16D4/8GX) is not on the list, but when I check this module on my current MB compatibility list, then it also isn't there. I guess will need to hope that it will work well (like it does now), but I will be ready to buy new memory modules. Still I wonder if there is some real advantage with purchasing DDR5.

    Quote from Martind Forlon

    Current PC:

    • CPU Silentium PC Fera 3 HE1224 v2, 120mm fan (can use my old own noctua fan or add it as 2nd one)
    • CPU INTEL Core i5-8400 (2.8GHz, 9MB, 6j) LGA1151 Coffee_Lake, 65W
    • SilentiumPC Fera 3 HE1224 v2
    • DIMM Kingston HyperX Predator_DDR4 16GB (Kit 2x8GB) 3200MHz CL16 DIMM 1.35V
    • HD SAMSUNG SSD 960 EVO MZ-V6E250, 250GB
    • MB MSI Z370 TOMAHAWK, s.1151
    • MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti GAMING 8G, 8GB GDDR5
    • Seasonic Energy Knight SS-500ET, T3 500W


    OK, time have little progressed from time I build my PC above and I'm thinking about 2 phase upgrade which should be new PC with "old" graphic card and purchase new graphic (thinking about 4700 or so) somewhere at next year end.


    I look now at:

    • MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI
    • Intel Core i5-12600K
    • ram ... thinking about keep what I have now (above)
    • SSD ... have now 2 (250 and 500GB) .. should be enough, but I may buy 1TB if needed)
    • case?
    • power supply?
    • cooler?

    Any advice/suggestions are welcomed

  • Day cycles and weather

    I played Cyberpunk 2077 with much faster day/nigh cycle and I really liked it. In ED I found info that day/night cycle have 60 minutes. Personally I therefore support option 2, and having even more cycles (2-3 hours per cycle) would be imo even better. There are numerous ingame things taking amost "0" time like loading of cargo etc which would normally need big amount of RL, so having faster day/night cycle, especially in game where you move between space systems makes imo perfect sense.

  • MK 10 Weapon overhaul

    You want include also other codenames? (no MK)


    The most problematic is Range, 2nd is projectiles speed. One from buffs may be against battleships, with good range, but slow projectyles speed.


    Another variant may be with matching MK guns with other lvl9 projectyles speed (similar like is Ancient Energy Cannon, which is unique in this regard)

    ED Wiki

    The popular guide to guardian_ xenoarchaeology

    Lance ‘Spacecat’ D. - "In order to obtain ‘guardian_’ modules and weapons, you have to go out there with an SRV and scan ancient consoles. Various blueprints are necessary to unlock these items at the guardian_ tech brokers. Note that unlocking is done only once, then you can buy unlimited modules and guns..."


  • Mission 36: Crash after launching for next mission (go to Altair)

    From Icarus station I think leads Trent path into Omega-3 and from there to Inner Core Sector for ... well this could be called as a spoiler :)



    ... btw missing stuff means that installation did not worked correctly. If you did all things right (latest installer which also activates this mod should work well), and there is not interference of antivirus or windows, then there may be issue with vanilla game installation. We had here some cases when was used non-original freelancer source and it led into problems.
