Made Elite finally! Trading done, 2 to go. Not bothered with CQC, sadly.

HR 5504 to HIP 73370 transport missions mostly.

Nice to finally join the club!

Thanks for the location site. Will have to check that area out. What's the Credits like?

At times I thought I would never get there but eventually I made Triple Elite. Congrats to you.

Wow super! Well done sir!

I'm still quite far behind so many people!

Eric Borchert I did about 20 mill per trip. Had to wait around for missions to spawn. Watched some YouTube etc. Did about 120 mill the last 2 days according to edmc.

And this after the passenger mission nerf? Nice.

Just bulk economy passengers?

Ian Norton last 3 months have been insane. Corvette and Cutter rank. Dealt in combat and pioneer. Need to continue with engineer's.

Chris Dibben I'm sure with a bit of love it could be salvaged. Matchmaking was a huge problem for me.

Theodore Minick mostly but if I saw missions for 2 mill or more for an individual I would take it. Highest single I got was 6.9 but I got numerous in the 4 to 5 range.

I did get interdicted regularly but I was packing 2 class 4 beams so no problem.

Ian Stoffberg Congrats! what ship did you fly?
October 6, 2017 at 10:26 PM
Theodore Minick said…
Two class 4s. Corvette.

Theodore Minick oh... obvious :)

Ian Stoffberg said…
Roy Mantel You don't need a massive ship. Anything that can take a couple or more of 32 passenger bays will be fine.
October 6, 2017 at 11:07 PM
Roy Mantel said…
Ian Stoffberg you think a very basic conda could do the job too? 6A shields, everything else E or D. got good engineered weaponry from my python though....
October 6, 2017 at 11:18 PM
Ian Stoffberg said…
Roy Mantel Anaconda just as good.

Theodore Minick said…
Use a 7D shield, it'll give you more room for passengers. (Passenger compartments only go up to 6.) The Annie is a great ship for this. I'm using it now, in fact. ;-)

Theodore Minick said…
Chris Dibben I don't know. A 'vette could carry twice as much cargo, and only a few less passengers, assuming the Annie uses the class 7 compartment for cargo, and one of the 6s for the shield.

Roy Mantel said…
Theodore Minick the only problem it seems is the mail-slot-of-doom. which motivated me to install a docking computer.... what about secretive passengers in a conda? guess we have no chance avoid scanning, or am I wrong?
October 7, 2017 at 12:53 AM
Theodore Minick said…
Roy Mantel I almost always get scanned, yeah. But as long as you only get scanned a few times, it's usually fine. They just get a little grumpy. And you might get lucky. It only counts of the scan completes.
October 7, 2017 at 1:01 AM
Ian Stoffberg said…
Theodore Minick if you're confident, drop the shield in favour of another passenger class 6. A couple of loads will pay for the risk. OR, if you can stretch to a corvette use that as I can more easily get through the slot.

Ian Stoffberg I haven't done the fed grinding yet to be able to get the 'vette. And I never fly unshielded. Right now, I've got a mix of cargo racks and passenger seats, and I fly around the region collecting passenger and data missions to 73370, while doing assorted missions for whoever needs it. Ferried a lot of food the past few days.

Theodore Minick these missions count towards fed rank. Some of them anyway.

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
