Elite Dangerous News: Material Farming One Stop Shop, FDEV quiet on Elite

Just a reminder that systems within about 20 ly of the anarchy farm should all have on-foot missions leading there. (Some of those have large stations, for Cmdrs who prefer to fly ships bigger than the average Ody settlement)

Please can someone answer my question? “How do I do this I went to the Target system and went onto a settlement of the purple gang and there was already fighting going on plus the power was out once the fight was over?”

How do I do this I went to the Target system and went onto a settlement of the purple gang and there was already fighting going on plus the power was out once the fight was over?

Is this still viable?

Is this still available?

Am pretty new to ED.
Still flying solo.
Most of my creds come from collecting/selling bio samples.
Been trying to grind mats.
But I'm very very bad at foot missions.
I almost always get caught and killed in all mission types except zero-threat delivery missions.
I do watch tutorials for foot missions. And they make it look easy enough. But I still manage to die almost every time.
So I been trying to upgrade my gear by system-hopping and looking for ;level 3 guns and suits with a useful mod on them.

Inara is helping me local systems with an "average" chance at finding those.
I have a few more stations to check. And then I'll be heading for that new Mat-Farm system to try getting good.

Thanks for letting me know about that amazing opportunity.
I was tired of waking up on a prison ship; especially since my game is bugged and I can't use Apex to leave the prison ships.

and where is it?
you can say that if you want to support me then watch the entire video and the player get on rout meanwhile listening to the commercial talk....

Does anyone know if the players who are doing this have a website or whatever to communicate with the rest of us? The system is all out of whack right now, the Anarchy faction is halfway up the table!

i feel starfield might be the final nail on the coffin for ED

you mean the game play loop of grind for the sake of grind

So much more could have been done with this game. Dismissing the consoles was a bad move.

Went to CD-51 2650 and went to about 5 different settlements but only managed to find materials in one of them, is this a hit or miss kind of deal or are there certain ones I should target? Am I missing something?

Every settlement just about is in war now becuase of a group of cmdrs who live to make everyone else's life as annoying as possible in this game. The settlements that are not will give you bounties for attacking and yes you can get a bounty in an anarchy system because elite is cool like that. Just picked up X4 on sale think I'm going to play that for a few months to years instead of continuing to grind for manufacturing instructions all the time. The system they set up here where they are constantly stuffing our throats with everything but that one data mat and making it annoying to get has gotten old fast.

A one stop for Ody mats? Nice!




Too bad it's two years too late to save me from THE GRIND!!!! 😠

Already uninstalled. Playing Everspace 2. Never looking back.

cd-51 2650 because noone else wanted to do it

After a few days of observation, it would appear that the anarchy faction present in Material farming system is gaining influence, not losing it, and has already engaged in conflict with another faction. Either the BGS theory that the 1% influence equilibrium would be self-sustaining was flawed, or we are looking at a deliberate attempt at sabotage by Certain Members of the Community after the system gained publicity.

Damn, just realize it's "Quiet" not "Quit"

The Steam sale has done absolutely nothing to change the player numbers, and based on the reviews FDev have absolutely no interest in resolving the Steam integration issues that have plagued the game since it first launched there. I can't wait for them to drop support (again) for these new games when they fail to sell as expected.

I've followed this trainwreck long enough. Best of luck with the channel - I hope you manage to transition to a more worthwhile game smoothly when the time comes. FDev doesn't deserve dedicated creators like yourself.

I have a strong aversion to killing innocent people in game. It's a shame there aren't non-murderous ways to do your suit shopping on Odyssey.

Just got back into ED after a LOOOONG hiatus from when I played on PS4. Decided to pick it back up with the odyssey expansion for my steam deck. Excited to get back into the game apart from the thargoid stuff. 😂

I’m gona give this game another chance I had about 440 hours on it before I quit last time, took me so long to learn how to play it, then realized how much of a grind it can be to keep insurance on my ship, was very boring, hopefully things are better this time around.

Haven't played the game for a couple of years, and after so many years I finally uninstalled it a couple of weeks ago, but keep on checking the occasional video to see if there's anything to bring me back... I've just realised I left my fleet carrier somewhere out in the black, I wonder what happened to it

I created my own odyssey mat farming system about a year and a half ago. I transferred 15 settlements to a native anarchy faction and have farmed away at my pleasure without any interference or concern. I’m not advertising the system though hah.
It’s not hard to do.

Great 666 on the thumbs up when I clicked lol

I've taken a break from elite for a while, but I'm not giving up on it. Looking forward to Starfield and what it has to offer.

Thanks for the farm info. I went and had some fun trying it out. Such a great idea.

I did a similar thing in a few other systems around the bubble, some more stable than others, but kudos to these guys for pulling it off AND getting the anarchy into full system control at 1% as well! If you want somewhere closer to Shinrarta, my latest one was in Timbalderis 17ly away where the constant traffic and trend towards beating the hell out of anarchies should keep them at 1%.

Started the video with a "Star Citizen" advert? Frontier, you're losing future customers...right?

I'm in a hilarious Catch 22 w ED right now.

I want to play ED, but I want to play Odyssey with my friends instead of Horizons, so I'm waiting for "Everybody gets Odyssey" update that was mentioned a while back for sometime this year

Good thing I've just returned from deep space exploration.

Time to upgrade my Artemis suit to max, then.

Fascinatingly some of the planets seem to be permit locked in CD-51 2650

I was always amazed by the graphics quality of your videos. Can you share your setup with us that are having hard time on all those options? It is particularly not a fun thing to do on Linux + Nvidia, stuff that makes kids wake up at night and adults scarred for life.

Kudos to the Cmdrs who managed to keep the Anarchy faction viable. Obtaining the system assets while managing to get the influence at 1% is no mean feat.

dunno if the devs read comments of your videos ever, but if we could get some stuff like a few new ships(at least publicly in the works) some new alien hybrid tech and maybe and this is just something i personally want, a soldier combat drop module that lets you deploy cmdrs in your ship with the dropship style bay. anybody else want that or just me?

FDEV quiet? No way.. they wouldn't shut their mouth for months at a time! So unlike FDEV to be completely silent.
They usually at least apologize excessively for being quiet.

I think I'll be remaining in the Bubble, fighting Thargoid combat drones on-foot or doing medevac. Wouldn't sit right with me personally going out into the black while there's a big war on.

When fighting Thargoid scouts, upon the appearance of an Interceptor, there is now no warning of the energy surge, is this intentional? I noticed that, when intercepted by an Interceptor, that the Energy surge warning does happen and you can use your counter measures accordingly.
I'm finding this annoying to say the least!

Massacres to improve the costume? What a lovely personal narrative!:)

Ok, I’ll go there on open and see what happens.

No goids for me. Will try the mats thingy, or I’ll spend time with Deliver us the Moon and dabble around with X4

One thing that should be addressed: Even though the anarchy faction will not fine or put a bounty on your head, your Rep will dramatically fall towards hostile if you repeat the attack. And when you are considered hostile by the faction, they will immediately shoot at you without any warning, making very difficult even to approach the settlements.
And what's more bad news is that it will be very hard to regain your Rep with them because most of the missions they offer are illegal missions like wet works.

Do you know why Fdev are quiet on Elite? Because it's dead!

FDev can still turn this around. Elite still has incredible potential, but... the game needs a developer who understands what the game needs most.

Really want to see a paid expansion at this point. New planet types to land on, new interstellar phenomena, maybe a new ship or two. But I'm losing hope given the distraction of other titles FDEV are releasing.

Now that Oddy map farm changes everything ... thx to the team o7

I must admit I am taking a break. I spent a long time farming the titans- for not much financial award- but enjoyed the experience and game play and it was fun. But after the cg nothing seems to have happened (other than getting the liveries) and that’s been disappointing. And for the first time in several years I am taking a break. I am hoping this is just a pause in events and update 16 will bring something interesting to get back into.

FDev winding down on all fronts........ a prelude to release of Starfield which will be the final nail in the coffin? RIP ED 😞

I really enjoy your videos, especially the dryly humorous turns of phrase, e.g., "un-alive" (and many other wry choices of words). Great news re the one-stop-odyssey-shop system; that grind-avoidance may be what I need to begin participating in ground work, heretofore completely avoided.

Correction: factions enter a conflict when reaching similar influence level, providing 1-this level is 7% or above and 2- at least one system asset is on the line (Coriolis-Orbis-Ocellus-outpost-planetary base, Installation, Horizon or Odyssey settlement....)
