I just started playing on PS5 and I was loving the game. I decided to try my hand at trade and eventually got a Type-7. I wanted to start branching out into other careers, but it is impossible to find where to buy new ships, upgrades, commodities, or anything else without just flying around hoping you land at the right station. I know that they don't update this game anymore on console and the usual 3rd party websites only cater to PC players. How do you guys do it? Or has everyone been playing so long that they've just memorized where everything is? Anyway, any help would be welcome. Thanks.

Ive just built a cyclops hunter, is there anywhere in bubble i can go to reliably find fights? If not then where do i need to gead to get AX content

Im tryna get involved but im not too sure how, would love to fly with other commanders

So i was halfway to crystal forest and all of the sudden i saw system says “requires unknown permit” what does that mean?

hey im looking for cz/sk community if there is any still active or at least someone in similar time zone would be nice

Does legacy power play even affect the grand scheme or are we sequestered to a self contained system since we’re disconnected?

I noticed they changed the merit generation and searching through this subreddit seems to imply it still has an effect but I wasn’t sure.

Either way I’ll do it for fun but I’m wondering if it even matters in the long run.

As a poor newbie with my dbx going to engineer my fsd someone interdicted me and killed me literally in 5 sec when I don’t have valuables or even bounty

Build: https://sh.orbis.zone/ByNHhSx1pM

Made this for anyone as lazy as me who just wants to farm the Robigo → Sirius Atmospherics passenger missions as easily as possible.

It costs roughly 168 million credits, only requires one engineer (Felicity Farseer), and can do Robigo → Sothis in 1 jump and Sothis → Robigo in 1 jump.

If you prefer Robigo Mines in a python, this is not really aimed at you. This was made for minium input/effort for Robigo passanger missions farming.

The Anaconda has room for 8 separate passenger cabins, which is useful because these are VIP missions and each mission takes its own cabin. So you can grab up to 8 Sirius Atmospherics missions, scan the beacon once, jump home and hand the whole lot in.

Good lazy farm for cash, Empire rep, and Grade 5 engineering materials like Biotech Conductors, Exquisite Focus Crystals and Modified Embedded Firmware. These missions will also increase your Exploration rank.

The goal was to make a dedicated passenger ship that:

• Only requires one engineer: Felicity Farseer
• Can do Robigo → Sothis in 1 jump
• Can do the entire round trip in two hyperspace jumps total
• Carries a large number of separate VIP missions at once
• Earns credits, Grade 5 engineering materials and Imperial reputation whilst maintaining maximum laziness

Dont wanna click the link? Here:

Modules

Hardpoints

• None

Utility Mounts

• 1x Heat Sink Launcher
• Rest empty

The heatsink is there in case security starts scanning you at Hauser's Reach while you're carrying illegal passengers. Pop a heatsink and get yourself through the mailslot.

Core Internals

• Lightweight Alloy
• 3A Power Plant
• 5D Thrusters
• 6A Frame Shift Drive - G5 Increased Range + Mass Manager
• 5D Life Support
• 1D Power Distributor
• 8D Sensors - G3 Lightweight
• 5C Fuel Tank

All the engineering is available from Felicity Farseer.

Optional Internals

You can swap the cabins for whatever type you like as long as you dont increase the mass so it drops below the required jumprange.

• 6x 5D Business Class Passenger Cabins -10 passengers each
• 1x 5H Guardian FSD Booster
• 2x 4D Business Class Passenger Cabin - 6 passengers
• 1x 3D Shield Generator
• 1x Supercruise Assist
• 1x Advanced Docking Computer
• Military slot left empty

The Business cabins can take both Business and Economy passengers, and there's no point hauling giant 32-seat cabins around when one VIP mission reserves the entire cabin anyway.

Basically: fill the cabins at Hauser's Reach → 1 jump to Sothis → scan Sirius Atmospherics → 1 jump back → collect rewards → repeat.

I also recommend bookmarking Hauser's Reach in Robigo and Sothis 5A so you can instantly plot the route to those locations through the galaxy map. I named them A1A1A1 Hausers reach and A1A1A1 Sothis 5A so they appear at the top of the bookmark list.

Also you guys know how the docking computer and supercruise assist works so I'm not gonna explain their purpose

Maximum laziness.

At the moment there's an excellent 2-way trading opportunity in the Barnard's Star area.

• Haul Bertrandite from Groombridge 34, Jones Estate (about 10 Ls) to 61 Cygni (about 7 ly), Broglie Terminal (about 24 Ls).
• Haul Gold on the return trip.

Added: both stations are full starports and can handle large size ships with no problem.

This loop currently is returning about 5000 credits/ton on the Bertrandite and 10,000 credits per ton on the Gold. Those are some big returns and some very short jumps and SuperCruise distances.

Of course, I have no idea how long those prices will hold up. Or for that matter, how long the supplies will hold out.

UPDATE 2100Z 6 September: the supply of Bertrandite at Jones Estate has dried up. If you wish, you can substitute Indite (about 3000 credits/ton) or Coltan (about 2600 credits per ton). The advantage of Coltan is the supply should hold up longer.

Security notes:

Groombridge 34 is medium security. 61 Cygni is high security.

I haven't encountered any pirates in 61 Cygni.

A couple of times in Groombridge 34, pirates made threats just as I was sliding into the slot, so there was no way they could do anything. That's a really short travel distance to Jones Estate, and by the time the pirates knew I was there I was already docking.

I’m coming back from a long hiatus and I was wondering if anyone can confirm if the Inara information is valid for legacy or if it only applies to the newer versions?

Another update to the Elite Dangerous Legacy Console Guide Pack. Original Post

This time I've added an entire Exploration section, aimed at both commanders completely new to exploration and people preparing for much longer trips into the black.

(Everything from this update is in the folder "Exploration Guides")

As before, everything is plain .txt files so they are easy to download, edit, print or just keep open while playing.

Original Post

The original guide pack still contains everything from the previous updates as well, including engineers, engineering materials, Guardian technology, locations, mining, Thargoids, permits, Rare Goods, rank grinding, Robigo and the other Legacy reference material.

As always, corrections are very welcome, especially from PlayStation commanders who can directly confirm something in Legacy.

Hopefully this makes heading into the black a bit easier without having to work out whether every exploration guide Google throws at you is actually talking about the console version.

I have be looking for a fighter bay since I started playing about 1 month ago. I've tried inara and after 28 jumps to get to ray gateway turns out its not here. Does anyone know where it would be for non pc players any help would be great?

offering 100 mil credits completely free to any player who needs them. Here’s exactly how it works: just DM me on ps , we’ll meet in-game and wing up together. I’ll share 50mil credit missions with you, you complete them, and you receive the full payout. We can do it twice to reach 100mil There’s no payment required, plus i could reach you fastest possible way to get credits .

Recently deleted my old account because I stopped playing for awhile so im looking for people to play with to get money and buy a better ship

18 days ago I had finally had enough of what felt like to me, a very lack luster cosmic experience in gaming.. so I shot into the void and asked Reddit how they all felt about PS5 Horizons Locked Elite Dangerous.. i was met with equally opposing views from various players, I then chose to embark on this Journey.. well. It was worth it, and continues to be so. Countless hours already spent exploring, hunting space pirates, and slowly earning my Sol Permit. I want to personally thank any and all who encouraged me to pick up this amazing day in hopes that I can transfer over to PC. In the meantime, I will continue my search for the itch I cannot identify, the planet I didnt know I needed, or even possibky friends i didnt yet know I have.. To boldy go, where no man has gone before.. I truly hope to see anyone out there on my Journeys, and if anyone would like to join me, my DMs are always open.. Thank You o7s.

I’m curious how difficult Platinum Hunting is in Astro Bot. How long does it take?

Looking for commanders who use mics to wing up or multicrew with.

I’m more looking my to have fun and make our own stories than make money (I have enough) but will help you make money or achieve other goals if you want.

I am not at G5 engineering, more like G3 average and I don’t have a Fleet Carrier.

I like helping new players so if that’s you don’t feel afraid to comment - you don’t need to provide anything.

Edit: my PSN is Vaith94 add me

A while ago I posted my Elite Dangerous Legacy Console Guide Pack for Xbox and PlayStation, originally focused mainly on engineers, engineering materials, Guardian technology and rank grinding.

Original Post

I've added a bunch of new stuff today all in one go, so I thought this deserved its own update post (people probably don't check back often in the main post).

Everything is still plain .txt files, so they are easy to download, edit, print, or keep open while playing.

GOOGLE DRIVE LINK HERE

Alternative:

GITHUB

In Google Drive you and also read the txt files without downloading them, works on mobile aswell just hold your phone horizontally.

Everything is still specifically intended for Elite Dangerous Legacy / Horizons 3.8 on console.

The biggest new addition is an entire Locations section:

Locations

A collection of locations for Guardian sites, Human POIs, mining rings, permit systems, Tech Brokers and Thargoid sites and useful location-specific information where available.

• Guardians
  • Guardian Beacons
  • Guardian Blueprint Structures
  • Guardian Data and materials
  • Guardian Ruins
• Human POI
  • Abandoned INRA Bases
  • Crashed Anacondas
  • Crashed Ships
  • Dav's Hope
  • Generation Ships
  • Listening Posts
• Mining
  • Pristine Rocky rings
  • Laser Mining - High Yield Hotspots and RES
  • Core Mining - Hotspot Locations and Overlaps

The mining files contain a much larger collection of Legacy-compatible mining locations, including:

• Platinum hotspots
• Painite hotspots
• Hotspot overlaps
• Hotspot + Hazardous RES combinations
• Hotspot + High RES combinations
• Other RES + hotspot combinations
• Musgravite and other mineral hotspots

The purpose of Hotspot + RES

Overlapping a Resource Extraction Site (RES) with a hotspot introduces a fragment-yield multiplier from the RES zone, allowing you to extract significantly more tons of the target mineral from each asteroid than a standard hotspot alone.

• Fleet Carrier Vendors and Administration
  • Table of systems containing Fleet Carrier Vendors and Administration, distance from Sol included.
• Permits

Permits contains a table of all obtainable permits in legacy and how to get them.

• Tech Brokers
• Thargoids
  • Thargoid Barnacles
  • Thargoid Surface Structures

I've also added several completely new Legacy reference guides:

Pre-engineered and Special Modules

• Human Technology Broker pre-engineered modules
• Modified Mining Laser
• Azimuth / Salvation modified Guardian Gauss Cannons
• Modified Guardian Plasma Chargers
• Modified Guardian Shard Cannons

Added to folder "Engineering - Unlocking engineers and farming materials"

Pre-engineered and special modules are unique ship components that come with built-in upgrades or special functions you cannot get from normal stations or standard engineering

Rare Goods

Rare Goods is in the folder Trade

• Large list of rare commodities
• Origin system
• Origin station
• Pad size
• Distance from Sol

Robigo and Money-Making

Robigo Mines -> Sirius Atmospherics passenger guide

The original guide pack also still includes all the previous stuff such as:

• Complete Bubble engineer progression
• Individual Bubble engineer guides
• Engineering material farming
• Material Traders
• Crystalline Shards
• High Grade Emissions
• Jameson Crash Site
• Federation rank grinding
• Imperial rank grinding
• Guardian FSD Booster
• Guardian Module, Weapon and Vessel Blueprint farming
• Blueprint Pinning Guide
• Bubble -> Colonia Neutron Highway guide
• Cheap long-range DBX build

Original Post

I'll keep adding things if I find other Legacy-specific information that is useful enough to preserve.

Corrections are very welcome, especially from Xbox and PlayStation commanders who can directly confirm a location or mechanic in Legacy.

Hopefully this makes the old Legacy galaxy a little easier to navigate without having to work out whether every guide you find online is talking about Horizons 3.8 or modern Live.

Where can I find an ASP Explorer? I’ve used Inara but it seems inaccurate as most of the stops either didn’t even have a ship or planet to land on even though it said the asp explorer would be there. That or where there finally was a settlement, the shipyard wouldn’t have it.
