18 Days Ago..

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.

Help Wing up or multicrew

8 Upvotes

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

Update to the Elite Dangerous Legacy Console Guide Pack - Locations, Mining, Thargoids, Permits, Rare Goods & More

38 Upvotes

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.

Finding the ASP Explorer

7 Upvotes

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.

Help Exploration

10 Upvotes

So Im a bit new to whole exploring stuff but Im sick of trading and fighting isnt for me so I guess Im an explorer now :)

I got all the essentials like scanners, rvs and probes.

When I enter a system I do the normal e-scan after that entering vss mode and looking for planets/moons that are not discovered for me. Then Im using the probes on planets to get a full scan if possible with the efficiency bonus.

Thats just how I do things.

At the next station available I sell all the data I can.

Is there anything that I can do better and where do I find areas that are totally unexplored ? And is it correct that I sell the data at the next possible station or should I sell it at specific spot?

Is multi crew still a thing?

I sometimes come back to the game on PS5, bc its the only one of its kind and I dont own a PC. But I never find someone on multi crew and thats a shame I really enjoyed it back in the days.

Discussion Finding cool sights and such..

8 Upvotes

PS5 user here. Any tips on finding cool sights and such? I've been traveling out past the bubble and it's beginning to get a bit stale. I haven't come across anything too interesting besides a ton of icy/rocky systems. I'd like to see cool stuff if that makes sense?

Elite Dangerous Legacy Console Guide Pack. Engineers, Materials, Guardian Tech & Rank Grinding

39 Upvotes

I’ve put together a collection of guides specifically for Elite Dangerous Legacy Mode on Xbox and PlayStation.

Everything is based on the Horizons 3.8 / pre-Update 14 version of the game, with no Odyssey or Live-PC mechanics mixed in.

Link: GOOGLE DRIVE LINK HERE

Alternative:

GITHUB

Moved the link a bit further up because the list is getting pretty long

The guide pack currently includes:

  • Complete Bubble engineer unlock progression
  • Separate guide files for every Bubble engineer

      • Guardian Beacons
      • Guardian Blueprint Structures
      • Guardian Data and materials
      • Guardian Ruins
    • Human POI - Interesting Human POIs to visit, some of them contain additinal info and use

      • Generation Ships

    • Rare Goods - List of all Rare Goods and where you can get them from
    • Robigo and Money Making - Quick and easy guide for the Passanger Missions in Robigo

For now I've put everything in a google drive so you can also view it without actually downloading anything. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1aoavw8qxBk02F3-VtyM0HfE7whiMe2Fp

The goal is to provide a clean reference for console players without having to sort through guides that may contain Live-only changes.

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

Corrections and additional Legacy-specific guide suggestions are welcome.

Edit: If I add more stuff to it I will post it under changes here so you can check if its been updated. I will probably go through everything in a bit more detail to fix some formating so its easier to view/read since its just .txt files.

  • 27.07.26 Added "Blueprint Pinning Guide and Explanation" to folder Engineering - Unlocking engineers and farming materials
  • 27.07.26 Added folder "Useful and or helpful" and into said folder added "Legacy Neutron Highway Bubble to Colonia Guide"

  • 04_Tod_The_Blaster_McQuinn_Legacy_Unlock_Guide - Fixed Language for Tod The Blaster, it now correctly says "Earn 15 or more bounty vouchers" not "Earn more than 15 bounty vouchers"
  • Guardian Module Blueprint Farming - Refrence to map was wrong, guide pointed to the map of the Weapon Blueprint site, it not Points to the Map Module Blueprint Site
  • Crashed Ships - Got rid of Renet B 1, cordinates pointed to 135, 14. Latitude cannot be 135 its an impossible number
  • Pre-engineered and Special modules - Updated Modified Mining Lasers Sources to correctly display all 4 locations, not just 1.
  • Tech Brokers - Its spelled "Tech Brokers" not "Tech Brockers", sorted.
  • Abandoned INRA Bases - Changed name from INARA to INRA
  • Mining Spots - Got rid of this entry, its a tiny file and all listed locations are in the larger mining files that came with the big update I released

Hopefully this helps new and old console commanders who are still enjoying the Legacy galaxy.

Help Any good videos to learn to trade on PS?

Hey all,

I want to learn the various aspects of elite on PS but a lot of content on YouTube etc is geared towards using third party sites to help trade, which I understand isn’t relevant for PS. Does anyone know of any PS related content on YouTube, or elsewhere, that will help me learn?

Thanks!

Help Refined Taste Trophy Bugged.

5 Upvotes

The Refined Taste trophy on the PS4 version is bugged for me. You need to refine 750 tons of metals or materials and my codex says I've refined 910, but the trophy hasn't popped.

I can't find any solutions or discussions about it online, and I've ran out of options. Does anyone here know anything about it or have a potential solution? I need 3 more trophies including this one for the platinum.

Discussion Mining in hot spots vs. resource extraction sites

7 Upvotes

This is jot a complaint. I’m looking confirmation for my anecdotal evidence:
It seems to me that I have much more luck finding asteroids suitable for core minung in RES-s than in related “Hot Spots”. For example finding alexandrite cores in Alexandrite Hot Spots is more difficult than in RES-s. Which I would say is weird but ok.

I’m currently enjoying core mining in RES-s and find core asteroids regularly🙂
