Elite: Dangerous
Discussion
I'm off work for a couple of weeks recovering from a knee op and now that I've finished Doom, I can devote a bit (well a lot 
) of time to ED. I was amazed how much had changed and how much I'd forgotten, but I'm back in to it now and still in my FdL. I figured that although the FdL is good and I have a great loadout, it's weaknesses still lie in the FSD range and it's power requirements so these need addressing.
As such, I've been upgrading these with the help of the engineers and although I've only got so far, the FSD range has gone from 12LY to 16LY and my power requirements are getting better too. I'm quite enjoying going off to find the required components and if I can mod the ship a bit further, I'll be happy to stay in the FdL bounty hunting and fighting for now

Update today when it's ready, wait 1 day for problems to manifest, wait 1 day for patch (they are good at that), wait 1 more day for patch users to make sure it's not broken.
So I'll be trying it Saturday afternoon then
I'm updating now. I have 220 down with Virgin and it's still telling me the download will take 3 days! So I'll be trying it Saturday afternoon then
So yeah, I think you should wait till Saturday.

Haven't played this for ages due to getting bored with it. Does the patch offer some new incentives?
I may just start from scratch again as I didn't really do a lot in the first place.

If you like just jumping from one system to another then yes as there is some serious credits to be earned. However, even at 54 Million, a 22K light year and back to deliver a passenger aint my idea of an evenings fun.
I had a look at the ship launched fighters but I didn't bother, I may be wrong but in a big pvp match or a high rez fight, I suspect they may not last too long. I'll keep my class 6 shield cell bank instead of fighters (for now).
So no, really, I don't think there's much to make me change my way of play or provide new incentives. If you were getting bored having done not a lot to start with, I suspect nothing will change for you, hopefully I'm wrong.

Does anyone know what is happening with the Regor sector? I'm approx 1 500 ly from Cubeo and it is showing up as 'restricted/permit' system
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/85960...I've dropped in a few times over the past few months but never played for more than a few hours at a time. I've never bothered with any of the DLC or got involved in much else so I'm WAY behind the curve. I have no clue about Engineering or anything like that. SO lost with all the stuff you guys are talking about!
I picked up Elite Dangerous a while back on the XBO (used to love playing Frontier on my Amiga 500!) on thing I am struggling with is speeding up and slowing down. I enter a system, and want to make my way to a station, I speed up, get close to the target and then try and slow down and it wont let me. I essentially spend my time pin balling past my target at speed without any chance of reaching it - until I rage quit.
Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong? Is there a space handbrake or something that I can yank on once I get close to my target.
