Elite Dangerous Ultimate Bounty Hunting Guide: Chapter 3~ How to Gather Engineering Materials

[@aboshen]

why is the collector limpet controller necessary it wasn't covered in this portion?

[@ManusDextra]

Whenever you destroy an enemy ship it drops materials you can use for engineering. If you don't want to scoop them up manually, you can use collector limpets to gather them for you. This is usually MUCH faster than trying to scoop them yourself! o7

[@aboshen]

@@ManusDextra okay fair enough reason i asked is cause i have problems with my hands and need the advanced docking computer needed to figure out what i could exchange for it. Unless you have a better recommendation

[@ManusDextra]

@@aboshen No, if you just want to swap out one thing, the collector limpet controller is the thing to swap out. When you're only going to do combat, you could always remove the SRV hangar and add the controller back to collect drops from ships.

[@aboshen]

@@ManusDextra that's a good point I'll swap them ass needed i appreciate the responses and help.

[@sadlycan]

I really love this series liked and faithfully subscribed I immediately looked to bounty hunting and found your videos. This is so awesome. Thank you from a fellow bounty hunter

[@r.h.nielsen8972]

Haha, just went to HIP 16613, and had my first alien encounter around the SRV wreck. First when I was hanging above it, I could see something very unfamiliar scanning the surface coming from the Bug Killer towards the SRV. When it had scanned the wreck, it turned towards my and started making some pretty scary noises, so R-U-N-N-O-F-T. I came back and it was gone, so I landed, got in my own SRV, scanned and scavenged, and returned to ship. When I lifted off, there it was again, coming straight at me and making horrible noises. It got MUCH closer this time, and started beaming something at me but I managed to run away again. Awesome, awesome experience :D

[@riusaki]

The alien ship just scans, it won't attack you unless you fire on it with your ship.

[@user-uf7ed7mi8o]

I had quit playing right around the time this series started. Wish I had found it sooner. You da man!

[@0809Scooter1]

Just recently started playing. Been looking through KZbin for any help. I like your videos, good humor and helpful tips.

[@MasterTeeee]

Guide starts at 02:00

[@Prodigies-Vail]

10/10 series. Amazing quality. Earned my sub Cmdr o7

[@r.h.nielsen8972]

Great guide, love the intro :D Doing following your guides in my python, as I just started bounty hunting. Started ED back in november.

[@CrafterBox]

Best tutorials I've found! Looking forward to p4

[@840doubleblazeit9]

Thanks man, really solid info here.

[@manic_miner]

Really appreciate you uploading this series.. It's a great help for a returning slow player like me.. thanks! There are no materials any more in Odyssey at Dav's Hope but they are there in Horizons :)

[@JarlOfDemise]

Found your channel today and so far loving it. Tho when's part 4 coming out? Seems like it's been delayed! Keep up the great work 👍

[@ManusDextra]

Yeah, sorry about that! Chapter 4 is up now with 5 coming soon!

[@elderpooter]

Great content, keep it up, looking forward to catching up on the rest of your videos

[@mikehunt9884]

damn where do you store all this stuff when you go around from places to places gathering materials? I never did this part of the game, all ive done so far is shooting at other ships doing bounties and missions, so i don't know how it works. Does the stuff you store follows you ? or you have to keep going back to where you stored it in order to access it?

[@watertownkid2183]

very useful information, thanks mate

[@willshepherd4544]

Commander Dextra, where are you? We miss you, man.

[@ManusDextra]

Sorry! Real life stuff... Hopefully, I'll be posting on the regular again!

[@willshepherd4544]

@@ManusDextra I really hope so. I just got into the game, and I really enjoy your videos. o7, Commander, and keep em coming. BTW, did you ever let poor Barry out of the bathroom yet?

[@bogdann1990]

so i have to logout log in 50 times or more for materials? if i understand that correctly it's bs.

[@darryl1987]

Appreciate the videos man! Question, how many resets should I do at Davs hope? I've done a couple dozen so far and seems like I could do it 100x more and still not be full of manufactured mats lol

[@ManusDextra]

You can also collect manufactured mats from defeated ships after combat and from "high grade emissions" in a lot of systems around the bubble. You can scoop them manually or use collector limpets--the Cobra 3 is great for this. This is how I get most of my materials! o7

[@JaciferGaming]

So I’ve been following this guide to the core pretty much and Im seeing that system 16613 is very, very, very, far..away. Did you really jump that many times from LHS 20? Do u recall how long of a trip it was? Because Im probably just gonna make a new home base wherever this guide takes me.

[@ManusDextra]

See 3:32 You'll be doing a lot of traveling to get Engineers unlocked, etc. Welcome to the grind! o7

[@JaciferGaming]

@@ManusDextra dude Im makin the trip as I type this out! It’s not too bad, should be done in an hour tops. I did a lot of pve prior to this in the viper so Im ready for a break. Thx partna

[@manic_miner]

In my Cobra Mk III, it was about 18 jumps from LHS 20, I think. I just did it and it didn't take that long in the Cobra..

[@justinjozy]

Is there a way to skip the tedious and boring mat collecting? Can we buy them outright from fleet carriers or something?

[@ManusDextra]

Sorry, I wish there was... But, nope. It actually used to be much worse!

[@riusaki]

Hey man, another question: What are the color codes for your HUD in the video? Thanks again.

[@ManusDextra]

it's been so long (like 4 years) that I don't remember! BUT, I did get it here: forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/no2o-the-definitive-list-of-1-7-2-2-compatible-hud-colour-color-configs-please-add-yours.259311/ o7

[@riusaki]

How much material do we farm for in Day's Hope? I've been on it for hours and barely have any of the mats at a quarter filled in my SRV. Sorry for all the questions.

[@ManusDextra]

Good question! Unfortunately, the answer is, "farm as much as you can stand!" You'll get such a variety of materials that it will be extremely difficult to max out storage. So, don't stress over that. If you've been doing it for hours, you probably have enough to do some EASY!!1! Engineering already. Remember, you can collect data & manufactured materials as mission rewards, and you can collect manufactured materials while bounty hunting. This is why I built the Cobra with a cargo rack and a collector limpet controller. The main point of visiting these sites is to get a stock of materials built up. Then you can maintain your supply with mission rewards & collecting mats while hunting. o7

[@riusaki]

@@ManusDextra Cool beans.

[@Sana5398]

I luv your videos, when can we expect part 4? :D

[@ManusDextra]

Should be out this weekend!

[@Sana5398]

@@ManusDextra Nice, looking forward to it, and Happy New Year, hope u gonna spend it with the one u love :)

[@Babyoda14]

Been waiting for part 4 done everything in first 3 chapters found these videos the most helpful only been playing a week and I was so lost at first with everything you need to do. Great content. Need chapter 4 haha

[@LumberchukStudios]

Hey how much do you stock up here? Is it worth fully filling up on raw and manufsctured materials?

[@ManusDextra]

I'd definitely take all the raw mats and data you can carry. As for manufactured mats... you can collect these easily while bounty hunting, etc... o7

[@Johnjohnson-zg4ek]

Hey Dextra my srv ran out of fuel ! I dont have materials to synthesize fuel any suggestions?

[@ManusDextra]

That's tough... Back in the day, you could restart in the base game and it would start you in your ship but I don't think that works anymore. If all else fails, there's always self-destruct!

[@Johnjohnson-zg4ek]

@@ManusDextra I ended up self destructing, bought a new srv and picked up where I left off.

[@Johnjohnson-zg4ek]

@@ManusDextra question, at the SRV wreckage do I need to keep picking up the HE suits and occupied escape pods?

[@ManusDextra]

@@Johnjohnson-zg4ek nope. We're just here to get some engineering materials to start with. So, concentrate on that.

[@FunnyUro]

Am I correct that at the bugkiller side, there are 3 comms and 3 cargo racks?

[@ManusDextra]

Yep, I'm pretty sure that's all. o7

[@FunnyUro]

@@ManusDextra Do I need to farm 150 of every of the 3 raw materials for a good base? And is james Crash Location necessary when I already have 150 of Data collected from bugkiller Side ? Or is the Data from James Location from Higher quality? Sorry for my Broken english, autocorrection doesnt help me in this situation. Just answer me whenever you have some free time to spend.

[@FunnyUro]

@@ManusDextra Oh btw thanks for the answe

[@ManusDextra]

@@FunnyUro yeah, I would gather as much raw materials and data as possible. You'll need it once you start engineering!

[@FunnyUro]

@@ManusDextra OK i'll do that. Thank you very much.

[@josephmichel1249]

can anyone tell me about the big alian things that kill me every time i get close tho this thing

[@mikefranklin70]

stop shooting them. i left them alone, they left me alone.

[@sadlycan]

Just a question, did you keep your old ship did you swap them when you purchased this one

[@ManusDextra]

I never sell ships unless I need the cash. We will be revisiting the Viper, etc. in the future! o7

[@sadlycan]

@@ManusDextra got it thank you!

[@manic_miner]

@@ManusDextra Wish I'd read this comment before putting the modules on my shiny Cobra and selling the Viper... Doh!

[@riusaki]

When we go buy the Cobra 3 do we trade-in our Viper? Thanks in advance.

[@ManusDextra]

Depends... I'd keep it unless you need the credits. Later, you can engineer it for fun. But the Vulture is the next combat ship in the guide. It does everything the Viper does but better. o7

[@riusaki]

@@ManusDextra Thanks for the quick reply my man!

[@Bam-qn4fu]

Where is part4?

[@ManusDextra]

It's up now!

[@roguephantom7024]

Y did it take 75 jumps just to get to the first crash sight 🥲

[@ManusDextra]

Because you need an engineered FSD! o7

[@justinjozy]

@@ManusDextra so new players have to jump 75 times just to get to the crashed anaconda??

[@ManusDextra]

@@justinjozy No. It will take about 20 jumps to reach the bug killer site in my basic cobra build. Rogue Phantom was being "dramatic." If you REALLY want the best jump range before engineering, you could try a DBX, but it won't be very good for combat. o7

[@sirenia755]

you did not tell us that you should fire probes onto the planet first.
