{{Quote|These crystalline structures are created by large colonies of microorganisms.|In-Game Description}}
'''Crystalline Shards''' are crystalline structures found on airless [[planets]] and [[moons]]. They are produced by colonies of microorganisms.

== Guide ==
Crystalline Shards are organic structures that have recently been discovered in the [[Sanguineous Rim]] region and beyond. They grow on [[planets]] with volcanic activity that are located at least 12,000 LS from the main [[star]]. They produce Crystalline Clusters which, when shot from a [[SRV]], drop high-grade [[materials]] matching the planet's composition. In other words, they drop the same material as Needle Crystals would in a volcanic site, but there are lots and lots of them. No need to hope for metallic meteorites! No RNG! Simply drive around, shooting and picking up the clusters until your material storage is full!<ref name=":0">[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/abg1ub/this_fellow_commanders_is_the_antimony_mother_lode/ This, fellow Commanders, is the Antimony Mother Lode!]</ref>

The catch? The closest known sites are 1,500 LY from [[Sol]], in the [[Sanguineous Rim]] region. However, it can be worth it if you need to max out on several materials, or for new [[Commander|Commanders]] wanting to unlock [[Professor Palin|Prof. Palin]] and stock up on some materials at the same time. To make this more generally useful we would need to complete the list of materials and hopefully find locations closer to [[the Bubble]].<ref name=":0" />

Your [[Scarab]] SRV has the tools you will need once you're on the planet's surface, but remember to mount a [[Detailed Surface Scanner]] on your ship. It will make it much easier to find the exact positions of the biological and geological surface locations before you land.

Standard Docking Computer

2016-03-29T12:31:54Z

92.108.140.162:

[[File:StandardDockingComputer_Ingame.png|320px|thumb]]
A '''standard docking computer''' is a ship module that automates docking with a space station or surface station (in ED Horizons). The process can be slow so it is not recommended for pilots who need to dock quickly.

<p style="color: red; text-align: center;">'''-Warning- '''Docking Computers are not perfect and may not work correctly at times, which can result in the destruction of
player ships. Although improper functioning has become very rare since v1.4, it does occur so remember that you can override the auto-dock sequence with throttle input or by turning off power to the standard docking computer in the modules tab.</p>

==Uses==
[[File:Anaconda being automatically docked in 1.4 Beta|thumb|330x330px]]
A docking computer can be used with any ship and might be especially handy for players who find the docking process to be hard or don't want to keep doing it every time they dock. It is very useful to dock larger ships too, as those require more precise maneuvering.

The docking computer is automatically activated when docking permission is granted. If the ship is moving a message will appear to slow down before the docking computer will take control of the ship. When the throttle is set to zero or if the ship was initially stopped, the docking computer will begin maneuvering the ship. To cancel the auto-docking computer sequence and hand control back to the pilot, disable the docking computer module or put power to forward/backward thrusters.

'''Note:''' Docking computers tend to have trouble if anything bumps you, especially as you pass through the docking port. Generally they are reliable, but will sometimes cut out once inside the station leaving you to manually traverse to your pad.

'''Note:''' Docking computers will self deploy landing gear if the landing gear are not deployed before auto-dock is initiated. Docking Computers will dock you faster if you let them self deploy landing gear compared to pre-deploying the landing gear before auto-dock.

'''Note:''' Docking Computers may help prevent getting reckless flying fines from collisions as even when traveling above 100 m/s the speeding warning indicator does not appear while auto-docking.

'''Note:''' One can manually fly into the station or to the landing pad and then let the docking computer engage by pressing the 'X' key, which sets all throttle to zero and thus results in almost instant transfer of control to the docking computer.

==History==
Docking Computers first appeared in the original [[Elite]] game. They were costly, but worth the investment as docking was - for the time - a complex process, during which even experienced players occasionally crashed their ship. Automated docking also was faster.

During automated docking, the computer would play "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss II, a reference to the (very slow) docking scene in movie ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' by Stanley Kubrick which was set to the same piece.

==Trivia==
* First appeared in Standard Beta 1

{{quote|The Viper Mk III is the most recent development of the most successful fighter classes ever built. The original Viper Defence Craft was designed by Faulcon Manspace in 2762 in the Reorte shipyards. The basic model was beefed up with the Viper II by Faulcon deLacy. The new Viper III is a revitalised model with a new more armoured look. It is a top class fighter found in many well equipped police and naval forces.|In-Game Description}}
The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' made its first appearance in the game in Standard Beta 1. It is a vessel used by [[station|Station]] security forces and law enforcement, and is currently one of the fastest [[ships]] available to purchase. It is primarily intended for combat; compared to the multi-role [[Cobra Mk. III]], it has the same weapons capacity, slightly stronger shields per shield class, slightly weaker hull, marginally slower turn rate, much faster strafe speed, faster speed under normal thrust and slower speed under boost.

Its main drawbacks are that its heat dissipation, power generation and [[hyperspace]] capacity do not equal that of the Cobra, which limits the value of having the same hardpoint capacity; mounting the ship's full weapon weight makes it very short-ranged, and an energy-heavy armament causes it to either overheat or use all available power very quickly. Fuel is also an issue as the ship comes with a tank with a capacity of only 4 tons, and it can be extremely difficult to find a fuel efficient setup that does not compromise combat ability.

In addition to its official police/security role, the Viper's speed, range and combat capability make it ideal for [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]], small-load [[courier]]s, [[Mercenary|mercenaries]] or [[smuggler]]s, while its small cargo capacity makes it a very poor choice for [[trader]]s, and a survivable but inadequately profitable platform for [[pirate]]s.
