NEWS ELITE DANGEROUS: Solution to Anti-Guardian Field, Galnet Goes Dark

[@TheBuurPit]

If you noticed, at the start, I said it was February... It is of course April. If you didn't notice then forget I mentioned it.... 😐

[@TheRedCreations]

Noticed it. I was just: Wait... what???

[@n0jy]

I did have to rewind and start the video again, just for a personal sanity check! 😆

[@TWeaK819]

@TheBuurPit there's another link in cooperation with DCoH that focuses just on Titans, giving an estimated time until the next heart is destroyed. citillara fr /elite/titan

Are you ok?

Took a double take and noticed the 'when posted' note. Thanks for keeping us on our toes Commander!

[@DryHeatAndSand]

Thanks for the shout out. It was a genuine surprise.

Hello :)

[@dynghivarn]

I listen to/watch this channel most often when on my way to work and it is by far the most reliable source of gleeful joy in such days of endless toil. Thank you so much for your hard work and superb quality content!

I reckon Galnet's just going through a bit of a dry spot (probably due to staffing). I also think some of it's due to event cadences, e.g. we'll see a new article each time a Titan goes boom

[@GaveLJorgensson]

I left my Oya-bashing staging point Inara (the system) to go grab a couple of Small Guardian Plasma Chargers for my off-meta Challenger build. I found two things: - Hardening a weapon against the Anti-Guardian Field is essentially engineering and may not be stackable upon pre-engineered modules. (Edit - confirmed. un-engineered only) - Applying this hardening to my small weapons required 2 Hardened Surface Fragments, 1 Caustic Crystal, and 1 Tactical Core Chip per weapon. Hardened Surface Fragments come from Coarse Hull Surface nodes on a Titan (shoot it with a thermal vent beam or something and grab with a collector limpet) Caustic Crystals rarely come from deep inside the Maelstrom clouds around active Titans Tactical Core Chips drop off the Revenants - smaller Thargoid ground combat vehicles (needs an SRV to scoop them up)

[@caltheuntitled8021]

You can also get caustic crystals from salvaging around destroyed titans. They don’t have to be active.

[@CMDR_Shokwave]

FDev about to start having the Sentinals AI start writing all the Galnet articles. What could go wrong there? I mean, the Guardians partnership with the AI's turned out great, right?

[@madamepestilence]

I would genuinely be upset if Frontier replaced or supplemented writers with long-form autocomplete technology. Not only does it use horrendous amounts of power and water, which would significantly increase their financial load, but it would also put a lot of people out of jobs and directly violate one of the things that SAG-AFTRA/WGA fought against. I can only hope they keep their human touch and work on improving what's there, while employing people to participate in gameplay that isn't Thargoid-exclusive.

[@CmdrDjBurp-dr5uy]

Forgetting all the space stuff. I've learnt building my log cabin with a water Mellon hammer 🔨 ....... .. is why its not finished yet. Damb been at this project yrs o7 cmdrs 😅👍

[@aaron-si9mr]

Treat it like nos it’s meant to be used in short burst saves on fuel and heat It’s not meant to be used for Long journeys, but doesn’t mean you can’t it is absolutely useful for a variety of scenarios

[@TheTitanFind]

When I first started playing ED Galnet was dead. No articles at all. Took several weeks before it took off again. So this has happened before. Hopefully it'll start up again more regularly soon. Maybe Frontier should consider outsourcing this particular part of ED. There's loads of experienced players who I'm sure would love to write daily articles for the feed.

[@DavidKnowles0]

I always felt that a game like Elite Dangerous would benefit massively from AI. It be interesting to see what Frontier reveals in the future, if anything about their investment into generative AI.

[@cmdrhomborger6214]

“…gaggle of Orthrus Interceptors” well, I think Victor, our enourmous, grumpy and exceptionally vicious yard gander might have something to honk about that…

[@TheBuurPit]

Do we have a collective noun for Thargoids?

[@cmdrhomborger6214]

Hmm, 🤔 I shall have to think. Might start a poll with a few suggestions. “Thethuthunuk” sounds good…

[@svendtang5432]

So fine and as an explorer I’m sitting here not even thinking of starting the grind to get into this.. It’s getting a thargoid war game and not thing else.. Please drop some content to non war dedicated players..

[@Sighman]

Pretty sure the repeat galnet article re the SCO was meant to be the new Galnet published last night.

[@SpaceHero-Elite]

I agree the score drive does have kinda limited use cases right now. Maybe making it engineerable would improve that

[@richardnicklin5849]

we live in interesting times

[@cmdrblp]

Some what disappointingly the in game anti-guardian field breakthrough message simply refers to immunizing existing Guardian modules and does not specifically mention its for Guardian weapons only. The Galnet article is equally non-specific 😬

[@wstavis3135]

That message came up when i was cashing in combat bonds from Oya. Smdh Also, I use the SCO for the same thing. It seemed a no brainer to start and test it on High Grade emissions.

[@Barbequeque]

Brilliant idea using the sco for reaching hge's... I was just using them to get to spires and titans quicker without the annoying interdictions

[@TheBuurPit]

I wouldn't go HGE farming without it now.

[@Barbequeque]

@@TheBuurPit yeah, it's kind of irritating trying to find pharmaceutical isolators... Especially when you find an hge somewhere and it expires before you get there

I don't use galnet much. I watch your channel and another for galnet news.

[@cmdrstevemcmaru7417]

Missed the premier, nice news video as always. Thanks Cmdr Buur and Cmdr Rheney. AI writing the Galnet news? Interesting idea, let's see what happens.

[@LeBonkJordan]

Nvidia has expressed concerns that they won't be able to get sufficient returns from AI, and the whole thing smacks of speculative tech bubble anyway (which isn't helped by the fact that most now-former cryptobros immediately jumped right over), so I wouldn't put too much stock in that.

[@onasknox9284]

Great video as always, finally here for one live, as fun as it looks. On to the questions! No No Hopefully, it's either the AI route or someone is taking the lead on it. Be a shame for it to go dark, again, but something more immersive brought on by new technology would be a welcome change!

[@Profane_Pagan]

David Wailing a writer editor, who used to write the Galnet articles for 9 years ( as a contract worker) left the game at the end of February (I don't know if it was on his terms or he was put on the redundancy list, however redundancy layoffs were conducted in January as far as I know). I think on early Spring the last of the articles he worked on were released and the Galnet article release schedule has been getting rarer ever since. So I think if they are looking for a new writer, and if they find one, it must be a tremendous undertaking to get up to speed with all the accumulated narrative, and production bible. I mean 9 years of continuous narrative development with all its storylines is a gigantic story with so many characters.

[@DavidKnowles0]

@@Profane_Pagan For years, Frontier needed a dedicated writer/Game master for Elite Dangerous, who sole job is to run the game. This role has often be split between game devs writing random galnet articles and the community team.

[@AngelaTheSephira]

I'd rather have no Galnet at all than AI writing it. Humans need to be paid for their work.

[@WiseOwl_1408]

Sco is fun

[@ApostateltsopA]

Is that a hypothetical salmon wrestle or have you been to Florida?

[@randominsanity7326]

I have the sco in my dolphin explorer with 4 extra fuel tanks it works great but I am locked at 30 fps and no real heat problems to speak of I have yet to need a heat sink

[@ottolehikoinen6193]

I don't trust the scofsd in tharg systems. Real good for visiting stations over 2Kly away from the entry point though.

[@davidhowling5889]

why has my carrier jump time gone up to 30 minutes FFS?

[@thisnthat42]

It will be because of all the traffic near Oya. They adjust the times up when a lot of people are making jumps. It will likely go back to normal after she goes boom.

[@Majima_Nowhere]

The new drives should either be made available in an A rating OR be engineerable. Not both. Trying to move a heavily armored Python around with a C drive and no FSD booster is painful as sin. Other than that, I'm quite happy with how they are now.

[@andymehmet8206]

Pay to win isn't for me i like to earn what i have not take a short cut through my wallet

[@adanrodriguez559]

[@AgentExeider]

the sad thing is the new drive is basically a piece of crap. I thought this thing was designed for AX ships trying to get to the titans because a fair amount of the remaining titans are a significant way away from the primary star. Thats what it seemed like it was supposed to be for. But in a krait mk 2 that's kitted for AXI combat, and with limpets because you need them for the repair limpet launcher, the range is a paltry 9 LYs, which means going from my carrier to the titan system, that's practically right next door under normal circumstances, plotted me a 25 jump route, to go 18 light years. Like I said, a piece of crap.
