I'm curious, which power holds your allegiance, and why?
Like the title says, I'm curious about our /EliteDangerous community and how you're pledged now adays. Let me know who you are pledged to and why. I myself have always pledged Alliance/Edmund Mahon, as I've always liked being a space trucker, and his politics were more in line with my own and my play style.

Gotta keep on trucking…….
Colonisation is the craze which is sweeping me at the moment and I’m busy populating my little corner of the galaxy. Decided to plop down a surface settlement today, select Zeus class - why not? Didn’t bother checking the material requirements. Guess I’m going to be busy for the next month!

Is it a good time to go back to Elite?
I stopped playing again after the last Expansion was released.
I only saw quite alot of disappointment from the community over it and I was getting pissed off with how difficult it was to get the stuff I needed to progress with engineer bs and whatnot.
Anyways, it seems the there has been some excitment from what I've been watching from some youtubers and it got me wondering if I should bother buying the Legs expansion and dive back into the game?

Current best way to grind Federation rank?
I know there’s so many different ways and guides that explain it, but I don’t know what’s changed since a lot of that information was made. Right now I’ve been doing the Sol stations donation loop, are donation missions the fastest way to gain rank or are missions a better use of my time?

Which of the large ships should I get (for combat but not only)?
tl;dr Just because I know I wrote a freaking novel down below, I'm putting this here, and if anyone feels the need for extra info and/or context they can go read it.
So basically, between the large ships currently in the game, which one would you get for combat if you had 2.5b credits and only rank 5 imperial and federation navy rank (so no Vette or Cutter)? Or what other roles would you see for a large ship (I already got the Phantom Clipper for Trading, but I don't have any dedicated Passenger ships) and what ships would you recommend for them? Also, any good loadouts would also be appreciated. Thank you commanders! O7
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Okay, so I'm going to ask a question that has probably been asked countless times before, but I couldn't find anything that really encompasses what I want to ask, so I'll shoot my question anyways.
I currently managed to break 2.5b credits, and I'm at a point where I'm asking the question "Where do I go from here?". Currently I have a bunch of small and medium size ships for just about every role I can think of:
an Alliance Chieftain and Python Mk2 for Combat;
a Cobra Mk3 and Mk5 for on-foot stuff and just general bubble hopping;
the OG Python for again general bubble hopping and material gathering, with a semi-trading, semi-combat build;
a Krait Phantom and Mandalay for Exploration
a Type-11 for Mining of all kinds
a Panther Clipper that I got with ARX when it was in early access and then upgraded and engineered a bit for Trading
So technically, I don't feel like I need anything (or rather, what I most feel would change my day-to-day gameplay would be a fleet carrier, but that's still pretty far off my budget). And yes, there are still some things that I should do that I haven't done yet:
I still need to go to Colonia an unlock the Colonia Engineers. I have been putting this off as I wanted to gather on-foot materials to engineer my suits and weapons, but I'm nowhere near close to being done on that (doesn't help that the gameplay loops that are used to gather on-foot materials aren't the most fun either imo)
I still need to unlock the normal engineers on the Liz Ryder branch, as well as Bill Turner (my plan is just to go on a long exploration trip and then max out the reputation for the two factions that these engineers care about with the exploration data, but I haven't done that yet as there seems to be quite a lot going on in the bubble at the moment)
I still don't have a dedicated Passenger Transport ship, because I don't usually do that kind of content too often. When I do, I usually just retrofit my Python and use that, but I guess I could get another Python or something else just to have that dedicated Passenger Transport ship.
I still need to complete the Imperial and Federal Navy grinds, as I'm only rank 5 with both (Knight and Chief Petty Officer), but I got a bit burned out on that and put it on hold.
That being said, progression-wise, the next logical step would be to get a large ship. Between all of the available large ships in the game, the ones that really make the most sense for me to get would be the Anaconda, the Type-10 Defender, the Imperial Cutter and the Federal Corvette. And out of these 4, the one that I think makes the most sense for me would be the Anaconda, as that's kind of the progression logic I went with so far - get the multi-role vessel (Cobra Mk3, Python, Anaconda), retrofit it to serve whatever need you have for it at that moment and earn the credits to eventually get the more specialized ships. But the problem is that I don't really feel like those large ships are meant to be that multi-role anyways, as they're by their nature pretty limited - they are large and slow, difficult to maneuver, cannot be docked at any station and are also difficult to land if not sometimes
Of COURSE I didn't
Of COURSE I didn't spend several hours well outside the bubble engaging in exobiology, only to accidentally hit my TAB key (in my case, boost) right near planetary surface, destroying my ship and losing the \~ 20 million unclaimed exo credits and god-knows how many systems' worth of FSS and DSS scanning ...
Of course I didn't do that.

'Communism' is broken in ED, and if implemented properly, could be a super interesting dynamic

This game is really just a few updates away from its potential.
I tried SC on the free week, after two days of crashes and frame rates that made it barely playable and some pretty bad shooter moments that didn't not feel great to play I'm kinda not seeing they hype there.
When I loaded elite some pretty immediate things are apparent.
Controller support is completely well done and everything is implemented well.
The graphics are A bit dated but are serviceable and immersive
The game runs really well and is optimized, even on my ROG ally.
The ground combat is perfectly fine and maybe a few patches and tweaks from fairly dialed in, if imagine loot improvements and attachments could even be the delivery method for a bit more snappy gunplay, it's not. Feeling like it's as tacked on as say no man's sky.
The galactic sim is established , there is roles a whole foundation is there just Already established and working , connected and operating.
There is a crazy alien threat, and it has ships and is a threat that's established.
An ongoing story and delivery method..
Anyways if operations are good and they can keep fleshing out the ground stuff, and maybe make some more locations there's really a lot to build on.
I mean there's no reason elite can't have a big social zone landing city like SC somewhere , shot it would probably actually achieve stable frame rates sooner even if they rushed it on comparison.
I just hope they understand that the dream of that expansive ground and space multiplayer game is already well on its way here, and if they put in the investment they are much closer than anyone else in the space to have all the components in one title.

Planning to Join The Fuel Rats, Build Advice Appreciated
I’ve been trouncing around The Black for the better part of two weeks. Accomplished a round trip through Colonia and The Core, managed to make north of 100m credits through surface scans and exobiology and after turning all that in I figured it was time to unlock more engineers.
I’ve been enamored with the concept of Ratting since I got into the game, my buddy telling me about the rats was a big inspiration for me to get into exploration. Mostly in order to get a sense of what it takes to navigate large distances across the galaxy, as well as understanding how a commander may end up needing their help. Since I’ve made it back to the bubble after this voyage, I’d really like to kit my ship for the job and join the Fuel Rats.
Here’s the build I cooked up for my Mandalay: https://sh.orbis.zone/ZYZjMiJo6L
I’m still working on getting engineers unlocked so this will be a long work in progress. I have the FSD engineered for max range/mass manager and the Guardian FSD booster is already equipped as well. Just looking for any advice on which modules I could potentially skip engineering/anything I might be missing.

Is ed worth returning to?
Hi there, longish time player here. I stopped playing Elite around the time Odyssey came out (didn't buy it tho). I played mostly passively (trading, mining, exploring, pve) with a little xeno hunting here and there (ship to ship pvp isn't really my thing). I was thinking about returning in the past few days, but I am not too sure about the game's status. I saw the colonization update and that looks pretty cool (I'm usually playing by myself, so idk how viable that is for me time and effort wise). Is the game worth it picking up again and how is the general game health/game experience nowadays?
Also, is Odyssey worth it in addition? I'm happy to just space truck all over the place but if it's fixed now (I remember the interesting launch) I'd be happy to give it a shot.
Thanks for the help. o7

What does exobiology offer other than credits?
Started exobiology recently and the credit farm is really impressive but it has gotten a little stale. The organics on majority of planets feels very samey and lacks alot of diversity from what I've experienced.
Are there other forms of organics other than just plants/bacterium? Like animals or forms of sentient life?

Black Hole... I might need to watch the movie tonight
https://redd.it/1sjv45y
@EliteDanger0us
Ok so, story time from when I used to explore A LOT in my Asp Explorer (I wasn't able to go that far)
To start off; I'm sorry if this is a little inaccurate since this took place about two years ago.
Ok so, basically an old friend of mine told me where to find some good materials that sold for a lot from what I remember, just buy them, and resell at higher prices in Sol system I think, and I had to travel a BIG distance, so I equipped my Asp Explorer (my beloved) with a fuel scoop and some extra stuff lol
After that I looked at my flight path and saw a system I had to go through had a black hole, it made me super duper nervous, and so I got up from the game and stalled for THREE HOURS because I was afraid of losing my ship and whatnot.
Eventually when I got there it was terrifying not being able to clearly see it so I had to navigate around it carefully (which was also scary since I almost fell in) and so afterwards I got to the site, picked up the materials to sell, and had to go allll the way back. In total it took me maybe 5-6 hours (not including my stalling)

Just started playing this game the other day. Absolutely surreal
https://redd.it/1sjmmmc
@EliteDanger0us
downright impossible to land on planets with rough surface terrain.
The roles that make the most sense for me for the large vessels are Trading and Combat, because of the numerous large cargo rack space and the numerous large hardpoint slots respectively. Now, I already have the Phantom Clipper as my Trading vessel, so I don't really need another. So the other role I would need to fill would be for Combat as a very large and tanky weapons platform. Something that I can just stack up 10 bounty missions in the same system, jump to it, destroy everything without needing to go to a station to repair or refill ammo and then jump back to the original system to complete the missions and claim all the combat bonds. And for that role, the best vessel would obviously be the Federal Corvette, but I've still yet to complete that grind and that will probably be the case for a while. So the next ships that I saw being sometimes shown as valid weapons platforms would be the Type-10 and the Anaconda.
So finally, I guess the question would be, between the Type-10 and the Anaconda, which would you get if you were in my position? Also, if you have any good combat loadouts for these, I'd appreciate it. Or maybe you see a different role that I'm missing and in that case what would it be and what ship and loadout would you use? You have my thanks commanders! O7

Suddenly, a planet has vanished
I landed at the https://inara.cz/elite/station/59550/ Brazilian Dream station at system Santos Dumont near Colonia.
I loaded my ship with goods there and took off – unfortunately, I crashed and my ship was replaced. (The goods were lost, of course).
I was able to take off from a carrier in the same system and wanted to fly back to the station.
Unfortunately, the station was nowhere to be found.
The station was located on the 6th planet, which no longer exists?!
Is anyone nearby or online who can confirm this?
I’ve already scanned the system from scratch, logged out and back in – and closed and restarted the game.
The 6th planet is no longer there?! There is also a gap in the map between the 5th and 7th planet.

i recently picked up a copy of ED from the microsoft store and done some research into the game, i had heard some good things about it but i wanted another space game to play rather than space engineers and no mans sky, i discovered support had ended a few years back but is it still worth putting time into?
