Post patch 6 I'm still find extreme flickering of shadows on planetary surfaces. Wherever there is any contrast it has this issue. The higher the contrast the more extreme the flickering effect. Also additional problem of ice surfaces, specifically where you get the blue and purple planet tech .. the purple shadows pop in with extreme contrast lines between the purple and blue, then you have the flickering shadow issue present as well. I've put it here as a video as on the issue tracker I can only put screengrabs. Just wondering if this is just an issue I have, or is anyone else seeing thi ..read more

hi there, is it maybe an idea we can position the carrier ourselves to allign it better towards a body? Often after I jump i face a massive planet which blackens everything out, if I was able to turn the carrier around that would be a great solution. It is not a major annoyance but it would make life a tiny little bit easier ..read more

The war as a whole has been fun as a whole. It's had a few flaws balance-wise, but overall, great job. My one big criticism is to do with the way things have been rebalanced, from a narrative perspective. Over the course of the war, several changes have been made to the strength of the thargoids, notably their expansion rates, how many times they spawn alerts, the effort it takes to beat them, and so on. Unfortunately, many of those changes have not been justified from a narrative standpoint. This makes the entire thing feel unplanned, and made me not really want to participate, because it f ..read more

First off, Guardian modules would have to become useful again (i.e. not devoured by Thargoid tech). I used to use "quick and dirty" AX builds, using nothing but Guardian modules and it was highly doable! Where the build lacked in Heavy Duty engineering, it made up for in caustic resistance. Mostly, I found having a caustic resist of close to 30% at 2500 hull health was damn near on par to having over 3000 hull health. It was impressive. The only issue as that Guardian power plants, though, nice for recovering form lightning attacks, was just too damn hot. So, for this, I swapped out the PP for ..read more

The advent of “Squadrons” in Elite now five and a half years ago ushered in a golden age of player interaction and large group involvement in galactic events. “Player groups” and “Player Factions” could now fly together formally as a unit rather than as an obscure entity on the forums. New groups could coalesce more easily and established groups had access to amazing new tools for networking, monitoring their in game player minor faction (PMF), and competing with other groups via the Squadron Leaderboards. This exceptional development correlated well with a peak era of community engagement and ..read more
