Got both left and right Gladiator NXTs with the T-rudder which I use for thrust. Love them.

Hey man I have just got the same setup, well it's in the post. Do you use the omni throttle twist for forwards/back or up/down thrust.

You might have already answered this, but how does the omni throttle control your throttle in game how is that binded ?

4 oc pacifier screening shell is more dps.

Found the same, 1 for 1st, 2 for 2nd, etc. works only for pinned blueprint. During first visit to Engineer it seems more than that, thus better to have some spare materials. Even that I unlocked her some time ago, I would like to thank you for this well prepared, clear and educational video!

You forgot to add the experimental effect in the video ?

Just a few addenda to the information provided in the video: 1) Unless things have changed, Mass Manager should really only be applied to ships with Grade 4 or 5 and larger FSD slots. For smaller ships, I believe Deep Charge wias found to actually get slightly better results. But either way you should ALWAYS go with the Lightweight experimental effect. 2) You failed to explain that gathering enough “encoded” material from The Jameson Crash site via the data points requires (or did) either logging out and back in or flying away and re-landing multiple times to reset the nodes. 3) “Dav’s Point” is actually called “Dav’s Hope” 4) Unless the materials at Dav’s Hope have been significantly increased (haven’t been there recently myself), it is far faster to gather from “High Grade Emission” (HGE) sources post Type8 Update. This is because the number of items in the HGE’s have been greatly increased, making it possible to nearly fill a Grade 5 Manufactured Material slot in just one go, using just 1 collector limpet. You just have to know what combination of factors will pinpoint the material you’re seeking. (Look for my reply to this comment for specifics.)

I remember the original C64 version, you had to do it hard till you could afford to buy the flight assist, frontier they spoiled with the software protection paranoia, having to consult various pages of various manuals before you could do ANYTHING. I think l have to buy this game.

After playing a bajillion hours of X4 and Everspace, flight assist on feels legitimatelly cursed

As for those initial roles, it's likely using the old system, which is random. You may get a couple of really good roles which makes the total roles shorter, or you could suffer the wrath of the RNG Gods and have to do many more roles. If it is using the old system it will be different for most pilots every time.

You should have warned new players, that since she is the first engineer most players unlock, in Open play Felicity Farseer's system is plagued with large numbers of heavily armed griefers and gankers looking to slaughter newbies for cheap thrills. As such, they should ensure they're playing in Solo mode before heading to Deciat.

You mention "Dav's Point" several times which should be "Dav's Hope"...

Never skip leg day

For a pretty low cost, like $30 I think, you can buy the adapter to switch your Omni to a normal premium. The grip itself is the same, it just uses a straight adapter instead of the offset.

I didn't play E:D much, but having played a lot of the earlier ones, the assist mode felt alien.

Looking forward to following your journey on this. Only recently discovered you when looking for a review of VKB (now purchased thanks in no small part to your excellent review) but like your relaxed presentation style so have now subscribed. I typically use FA off as you describe your current use - power turns mostly, but I have dabbled in the past and successfully killed an anaconda (so large slow ship) whilst 100% FA off and successfully maintaining visuals throughout the entire battle. And I use it a lot to drift in and line up with starport entrances and outpost/planetary/FC pads (makes me look like a hero in my head but probably less so in actual fact LOL). I know I have so much to learn yet and now just waiting for my new HOSAS to turn up so I can start to concentrate more on this journey. Thanks for sharing your journey.

I have mainly settled on 2 x large pulse w/rapid fire (experimentals your choice), 2 x large MCs with OC/AL and OC/corrosive, and 2 medium imperial hammers, both oversized, one with feedback cascade to cancel SCBs, and one super penetrator. It works great for me. I have two different firing groups, one with the pulses and MCs and the rails on the secondary, and one with the pulses on A and MCs on B to conserve ammo. I generally only use the rails when opponents are using SCBs or if they are running away, again to conserve ammo, extend the hazres session, and maximize earnings.

I'm actually considering getting these, but adding the Omni Throttle Adapter for the Right hand stick so the two sticks match.

Good video I liked the variety I just tried 4 modified plasma chargers and 2 large gimballed multis (overcharged with autoloader and hi cap with corrosive) and it’s been a blast The shot speed on the chargers make it much easier to use and it hits hard

Great vid! Eager as hell to see your bindings

Congratulations on your first steps! You already look like a pro. Ive spent thousands of hours in FA OFF only. For the first thousand or two I started to get fair at it, but was never able to hone it down to get rid of the constant wobble. This tip is MASSIVE: If you dont already, you might try setting curves for your sticks/input in something like Joystick Gremlin. When I did this, I INSTANTLY was able to get rid of the wobble and become smooth. I guess my sticks are too hard to do 1:1 (T16000m) You already looked very smooth so if you dont have that and you dont wobble around your point like a gimbal does, then for sure you could skip that.

My biggest problem with FA OFF is that I don't have enough keybinds for all the controls. I'm using a basic Thrustmaster Flight Stick X, and I changed the thumb mini joystick to be the lateral thrusters, but I lost the pips distribution. Now my pips can only be changed from my keyboard, and I don't have three hands...

My main issue with FA off is i use a controller and absolutely**hate** taking any finger off of either thumb stick for any reason for even a fraction of a second during combat. Doing so hurts your performance enough to halve the benefit of FA off. I wonder if it will let me use a combo of both shoulder bumpers to toggle FA.

Whoa, I tell you what mate you're fartin sparks! Are you on the glue yet?

What ship is that on the title image? the blue and pointy ship.

What are you using that shows you the lateral/vertical/thrust/etc hud options?

Arai's mine no longer contains any significant mat Yields. I'd like to direct your attention at the Settilements run by Duwali Comms Limited and Andlit Co in the Duwali System and Iah Bulu. I have found high yields at their settlements that can exceed Arai's Mine by far. Focus on Industrial Settlements, Military Settlements and Agricultural Settlements of those factions. Notoriety is a small price for what you can get in their Settlements

Can you do a video where you through the settings showing everything please?

O7 cmdr welcome to Elite

I just listened to your video and I don't understand your comment about the OmniThrottle. As I saw many review of it, it comes with all the tools to make it a Gladator NXT Evo (the straight ball bearing). It just is a standard Gladiator with premium grip and an omni adapter pre-installed, but with all the tools to make it back to the stick. What is your issue with this as I am currently plnaning of changing my old X52 and finally investing in something nice (Two Gladators with one with the omni, STECS throttle and T-Rudder pedals too, so I may enjoy BMS, my MSFS airliners and my space flying games at once). I would be very interested to know what issue you have ;)

You’re absolutely gonna want to toggle on/off even in combat. FA on is just a huge quality of life advantage for mining or planetary flight. I turn mine off for evasion and dogfighting and then click it on to help stabilize the reticle for aiming and shooting. Everyone does it differently but we all use both.

Wow, this makes so much more sense having the same hosas. Would you be willing to share the config of the binding of this exact setup? 🙏

Well done cmdr, this is a great start to your FAoff journey. I did try commenting before but it disappeared. Maybe it didn't like the link to the Newtons Gambit Discord, the home of FAoff pilots. You did remarkably well with little wobble. Keep it up, once everything clicks there'll be no going back!

Hi! Do you have your inputs typed out in a list you could share? I’d be very interested in your keybindings for the SRV also! Appreciate the video and info

Ideally you'll want a mix. And dont overdo it either. Not 3 plasma accelerators, just the 1. Maybe the other half thermal half kinetic. I like burst lasers alot.

Nice flying cmdr! o7

It is absolutely worth learning. It can help you massively in combat. However, it is extremely difficult. I have it set to a pinky trigger on my HOTAS so I can switch it off in bursts to boost maneuvers

Throttle doesn't make you go increasingly faster 🤷🏻‍♂️

Probably a stupid question but how do they get the control positions to show up on screen? I'd love to do that on my setup.

flying a tiny ship with FAO is not hard... doing that with a Corvette or similar size is another level as you have to put in massive corrections but not over correct...

What i found really helpful was using the pinky buttons as shift buttons so i can have more functions on one button

Years ago I was in an auto acident and broke my back, and so was home for 3 months except for doctor's visits, and had just replaced an X56 with bad connector/cable with twin Thrustmaster 16000 (left and right). Having anything on top of the desk except papers and a monitor is just plain bad ergonomics, and made a bad experience even worse (failing sensors and the sticks to high to be comfortable). At that time I invested in a sim racing chair set-up and tried the Logitech G29 with peddles and gear shifter. During COVID I got extra arms and plates so I could try HOSAS properly with VKB EVO set-up on my racing chair (the 16000s having completely failed by this time). Having the flight sticks down at a proper height is a big help, it is just relaxing having your arms at your side. I still have not managed to customize everything about the VKB buttons, yet I have changed the springs and dry clutch to my liking. I might add the STEC to my set-up in the near future.

Good job with the tele-presence there!

I engineered my Type 8 light, fast, and far jumping. Been using it to farm HGEs and Raw mats from crystalline nodes, and it is A BEAST. I’m getting 56 LY, boost 504 with dirty drag D-rated thrusters, size 7 fuel scoop which is insane, and 4D efficient shields just for safety. This thing can chew through 200,000 LS in SCO using less than half a tank of fuel and a heatsink or 2! Can fit it for hauling 352 tons shielded with size 5 scoop, collecting, jumping/exploring… a very fun and versatile ship!

Can someone explain to a noobie what each upgrade does

Engineering has been dramatically reduced? That's literally the reason I quit. After I fully engineered my Exploraconda and was trying to start on my Corvette I just gave up. It was too mind-numbingly boring and stupid (like seriously, how were they ok with the log out/in nonsense?)

Good going, impressive improvements. Voice is sounding much improved. Good length of video, I can take a little more but I really lack attention. Yup, keep her lit the boy yee.

Do you have to adjust your mouse sensitivity for this? Any time I've accidentally knocked FA off turned out to be a nightmare and the controls became supersensitive
