Grinding Empire this weekend before 2.4 drops and everything changes.

Grinding Empire this weekend before 2.4 drops and everything changes. I'm guessing we'll need to grind Aegis ranks and I'm hoping to be near the top of Fed & Empire when this drops.

Friday was 20odd percent Viscount and I managed to unlock Count. Saturday was working through Count and unlocking Earl. So far today I'm about 20% through Marquis and trying to get to Duke by tonight. Getting ready to watch the Formula One, so will resume in 2 hours 'ish.

Doing missions at Wu Guinagi. Trying to focus on Camm Orbital -> Van Royen and back. Not always possible. Lots of planetary scans available so occasionally do those. When I get stack donation missions, I do that as long as I can. I have donated > 100 million this weekend which is painful as hell.

If it wasn't for my suspicious about Aegis, I wouldn't be too bothered, but I suspect it's going to matter, so will do the Cutter unlock this weekend and then try and make cash for the week. Probably tourist missions at Ceos/Sothis, I'm guessing.

I have misgivings about Aegis. Whether they are good or bad is yet to be discovered.

People still watch F1?

Dave Ross The Singapore GP was a great reminder of why I stopped watching F1 regularly about 3 years ago. As a race it was all over after the first 10 seconds.

Iain McC I stopped around more or less the same time. I do watch it on occasion, but no longer every single race.
I might still go see it live, if I get the opportunity, but there's a lot of other racing series to pick from as well.
Just this weekend I went to the Nürburgring to watch the GT cup.

As for Aegis: I wouldn't be surprised if they were INRA under a new name.
Also, the name seems kinda familiar, just don't remember from where.

Are any of you interest in being part of a coding sub-community of GGG+ One of the things I enjoy most about G+ and the communities that formed around Elite Dangerous has been the gathering of personalities that seem to share a lot of hobbies and interests. Many walks of life and philosophies interested in overlapping topics like music, tv, movies, humour, food, wine, etc. One of my hobbies has always been coding. The past is littered with 100's of started projects and abandoned code. Clearly, I haven't been an 'completionist' or 'achievement unlocked' kind of person in this regard. I guess in my case, I was not able to sustain that level of drive and enthusiasm for most of those pet projects. With Unity, I've found a system that allows me to express my gameplay idle thoughts as something tangible and I've started watching tutorials and putting objects on the screen and animating them. The results have been quick and rewarding and I'm starting t

Unlocking Hera Tani

Unlocking Hera Tani This is just so pointless. 4 trips for no good reason other than waste time. It's probably going to take me 4 days. I can't imagine that the same people who brought my favourite game back to life could come up with such a useless system as the various engineering unlocks and crafting system that you HAVE to do to progress meaningfully. I'm just in a miserable mood. Sorry. God knows if I'm ever going to mine the necessary 250t of whotsits...

So, in the spirit of Elite Stories, thought I'd share my perspective of last night.

So, in the spirit of Elite Stories, thought I'd share my perspective of last night. We had barely met and there we were suiting up and using our limited funds to buy guns, ammo and gear for the mission we'd been thrust into. It wasn't an honour we'd earned. Others had died, we were next. There were no reinforcements. Nobody was coming to save us. In fact, quite the opposite was true. We were going in to rescue a squad who were sheltered and taking fire. They had sustained heavy losses and couldn't hang on much longer. We headed purposefully down the streets, checking our guns and making sure we had our grenades and medpacks on standby. It was brutal, but we made it to the rendezvous, battling past waves of patrols sent to stop us. We were in trouble, but there was always a teammate to lend a hand or a hail of bullets. Somehow we made it. Learning to watch our for each other and keeping a wary eye out for signs of sniper activity. We scavenged more ammo and m
