Does anyone know how much a normal person makes in the Elite universe?

My husband and I were wondering how much a normal person, i.e. not a pilot or space traveler, makes. How good or bad are the conditions in the depths of a Coriolis station? Would one courier mission for a normal person make them super wealthy among their peers? Is one credit worth a lot to a lower class person?

Personally I think a survival game on a poorly running or oppressive Coriolis station where the goal was getting a sidewinder and leaving would be a really nice bit of world building and potential for storytelling. It would flesh out a lot of how society functions and maybe give you a better idea of how harsh the Elite universe is.

Does the mod Save Our Ship 2 have compatibility with Odyssey mechanics? (Solved)

I know that you can run both just fine, but I wanna know if they interface with each other. Like, can I have gravships be my low orbit dropships and my SoS ship be like the cruiser in high orbit? Or can I have a grav anchored station in low orbit that acts as a refueling post for SoS ships and Grav ships?I just wanna know if the mechanics mesh well.

Edit: Yes, yes it does

I have a confession

I dont play this game like a story teller. I play on easy, with weak raids, with no insta colonist death, no friendly fire, and with reloads enabled. I just wanna build a cool colony! But it got me thinking...

How do you guys play? super hardcore or really chill, somewhere in the middle perhaps? I wanna know.

Linux will not detect 5g network

Title says it all, I am using the latest version of Linux Mint, with an Archer T2U Plus usb. I can detect and connect to the 2.4g just fine.

I am using the morrownr 8812au driver from github. What might be the problem? I've heard I might need to add the 5g MAC address to my network manager, but I want to make absolutely sure it isnt like an option or toggle i have on. I had this same issue in MX Linux about six months back but still no dice.

What is your favorite version of FTL in science fiction?

This can be anything from Hyperspace in Star Wars, Warp Drive in Star Trek, travel through the Warp in Warhammer 40k or anything else.

I've always liked "slow" FTL travel, where going a few light-years still takes a few days or so. I also really like travel through an alternate dimension like in 40k, Event Horizon, Witchspace in Elite Dangerous.

I wanna know your favorite versions, or do you prefer stories that obey the laws of known physics, like the Expanse or Rimworld?

Port Forwarding: How does it work?

I have been attempting to open a port to host an Arma 3 server but have been unable to. I have a logged into my router, and opened the ports, but they remain closed when I try to test the ports.

I have a rather unusual setup for my connection, I'll admit, where I use Ethernet, but its through a Powerline Ethernet Adapter. Could that be a problem with port forwarding?

I use an older router, a Motorola MT7700, I think, (Im not at home to check atm.) I run Linux Mint, it has no problems afaik.

007 Goldfinger is very overrated.

As the title says, I do not care much for 007 Goldfinger. It's not awful, better than like Thunderball, but it's a very strange film. It's got this weird car crusher scene, James does like nothing in the third act, and he's a freakin creep. I mean, more than usual. He gets so freaking lucky, again, more than usual. I do like Goldfinger as a villian, and Oddjob is pretty cool. But I just think this movie has a very weird tone and at the same time, is kind of bland.

Bonus opinion: I really like On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The tone and atmosphere are top notch, and I really like George Lazenby as James.

What were your parent's rules on video games?

I was talking with a coworker about what games my parents allow me to play, and what they let their kids play. My parents were fine with most things bloody things, like Resident Evil 4, Left 4 Dead and Gears of War, mostly because you were fighting like aliens or zombies. They were fine with military shooters too, and got really interested in the Modern Warfare storylines. The game that they really had a problem with was GTA, of course, but later, when my little sister started playing it, they got invested in GTA 5's story, so eventually we could just play whatever we really wanted. How bout you all? Did your parents have any weird or strict rules in games or movies?

Rockstar games are not very fun to play

Yeah, the stories can be really great, some of the best in gaming, especially GTA4 and the RDR games, and this is more targeted towards GTA5. But oh man, these games feel so fucking sloppy control wise. I push my controller in one direction for a moment and my character takes like 2 steps in that direction. Aiming feels clunky and you basically have to rely on auto aim. GTA5 is also piss easy. Like, the only reason I have ever died in GTA5 is accidently driving into an explosive or off a ledge.

Everything takes fucking foreverrr to do, especially in RDR2. Like, I get that its impressive how the animations interact with each other and how everything in the fame world is affectes by you, but I dont want to manually pick up every item.

I think Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the best of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.

I think this is an unpopular opinion, at least among my star wars friends it is, but I genuinly think that The Last Jedi is better than The Force Awakens. I think it's more interesting, I think that the visuals are cool, I like the music more. Now I dont think its great, it has a ton of problems, and it probably has the worst fight choreography, i dont like how they portrayed Luke Skywalker, and I think that it was dumb that Holdo didnt tell Poe what her plan was.

But TLJ feels more unique and I absolutely love Kylo Ren in this movie, and I like Rey, I think she was done best in this movie. TFA was just kind of boring imo.

Edit: Mind you, I still think that all the movies in this trilogy are pretty crap. This one is just the one I dislike the least overall, ALTHOUGH, it probably ruined the trilogy the most, storywise.

Just started engineering my weapons

Holy smokes! I absolutely blitz most npcs with even level 2 engineered multicannons. I used to struggle against even expert craft, but last night, I took out 2 FAS with my Python mk2, one deadly and the other expert, in like less than a minute. And i had upgraded my thrusters to dirty drives and i just flew circles around them.

I knew engineering was strong, but this is wild. Honestly, the only thing that gave me trouble were high ranked snub craft, like the Vulture.
