One thing I’d like to add is that getting your thrusters destroyed is not the end. 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.

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.

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 skip the last 40ls of every journey using Supercruise Assist by accelerating to full until the ETA is 3 seconds, then throttling back to the blue to re-engage for the rest of the very short trip
@theaveragepro17492 жыл бұрын
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

@@theaveragepro1749 Nice! I'd be curious to push the limits of the distance you can begin the trick when I upgrade my frame rate.

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.

Realizing this video is 2 years old, but of interest to newer players is that EDDB is no longer operational. Someone IS working on a replacement, but I'm not sure if it's up and running yet, or if it will be by the time someone sees this.

Thank you! I knew about targeting modules from the panel.. did not understand that "subsystem" keybind meant you could cycle them. i thought "subsystem" was some wierd navigation thing to do with multi-solar systems that did not seem to work (i wish we could jump to any star in a system! a 100,000Kls crawl is no fun at all),. Anyway i digress.. I have been using the panel. :D If it had been worded "subtarget" i would have got it. Also i did not know about filtering out non scoop stars.

1st tip for route planning. Use this to get far enough away from the bubble to explore. Then deselect the last 2. (K+M) Set jump distance to economical. And plan a new course laterally to your home system. If you simply want to level up your Exploration level and get plenty of cash.

Bit of a context if anyone will ever see this: K and M type stars are believed to have the most chances of earth-likes and water worlds orbiting around them and those pay out the best money. If thats what you care about the most, this is the way to go, as there is no point of wasting time going through empty systems. 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

Gathering Manufactured materials alternative: A more fun way of gathering materials is going to the compromised nav beacon in the Nastrond system. Nastrond is an independent anarchy system, so it is open season on everybody, Pirates, freighters etc. The system requires a permit, to get it, you will have to become allied with the Defense Party of Nastrond faction in a nearby system which should be able to be done within an hour. I'm pretty sure they have a presence in Nowak Hub in Wonorne Nu.

Sure you can gather materials from conflict zones, pirate activity beacons, etc. - anywhere there is combat but if you just need materials that isn't even remotely an efficient way to do it. More fun, absolutely. Quick, holy shit no given you can get 100 imperial shielding in about 20 minutes then trade that for 16 of any other G5 or 300 G4 and so on. MUCH faster way if you're doing a lot of engineering or just wanna get a ton of mats very quickly.

@@Exigeous I meant as an alternative if the grind for gathering each of the G5 mats gets too boring and need a break from it. I should have clarified, My bad. If one wanted to take a break, yet gather some materials while doing so, This is a great alternative.

Just started this game and loving it. Good tips here thanks. But one question; when's a good time to come out of, Pilot Federation Zone? So much I don't know!

Traversing the bubble without fuel scooping: Since the bubble and the fringes of it have so many stations available to refuel from (always 1 guaranteed in a system), you can often times get away without using a fuel scoop within the confines of it. I regularly travel in my combat and other ships without one and just top up at the nearest inhabited system when I need to. Another one is economizing jump fuel, which ties into this as well. I'm not entirely sure how the fuel usage is calculated but there is a sharp rise in fuel consumption for the last 10-20% of your jump range, so if you're travelling on just tanks, make sure to either a) plot route and manually select (not plot) stars close to the route that are at 75-80% of your jump range, then open the map in the next system for automatic route recalibration b) if you're in a ship with cargo racks, go to the galaxy map's route plotting (2nd) tab and increase your cargo allocation to the point where your jump range gets artificially limited to be more efficient, effectively cutting out the manual plotting part of the method I really wish they'd add a 3rd plotting mode besides economical and fastest routes called hybrid that would allow you to set the efficiency target while maintaining decent jump range, unlike economical where it always plots for the shortest jump sequence to your destination, thus resulting in high jump count and being only usable over short distances.} Another one is that the bookmarks menu sorts alphanumerically like in any other case, be it your operating system or other. This means you can use special characters (! ? % ` etc etc) to be able to prioritize your bookmarks by having them in front of the actual bookmark name. Somebody mentioned it below as well, but there are a lot of miscellaneous keybinds that are useful to have bound, such as select next target in route, night vision, cargo scoop and landing gear (those two are bound by default, but some people don't know and still go through the menus for them).

One thing I learned on my flight back from the Bubble nebula - you can use basic FSD injections to save fuel. I would jump, start synthesis, circle the star to the next target, then jump as soon as I stopped scooping. With the basic FSD injections I could do it without having to stop at all (30+ jumps). The normal route with my range would require stopping to scoop every 8-10 stars. It's a handy way to get a few extra jumps even in the bubble before having to stop.

Haven't played this in a while. My explorer Asp is parked in some random star system thousands of light-years away from population centers. Maybe it's time to dust off the joystick, power up the drive and start exploring again.

Thank you, have been doing some stuff not fully as needed. But also good to know that I am not the only one who is frustrated with almost useless Bookmarking features. HTML was released in year 1993 and we are in year 3306 and still can't find a proper bookmarking method. Get back Netscape? ~ probably! 😂

Took me a long time to see how useful prospecting limpets were. I always thought that it just tells you the make up of the asteroid, how much remaining ores and low/med/high quantity. Did not know it also increases fragments!
