Hop into a RES with me some time. When I play this game it's usually to make a few quick millions by blasting pirates.

I mean I can get 2-3 on a good RES but the opportunity to do more sounds awesome

Plus turning in missions all breaking up straight grinding

Plus playing at totally random times an hour at a time

Okay, I bought a new Asp and set it up to make the trip to Sothis relatively painless and so far I'm not really sold on it compared to Arexe. There are missions to kill traders, they do pay well, but with only one Federation faction there aren't many missions to go around. Worse, since it's an Asp I don't really have the energy to sustain a thermic setup and so, stuck with kinetics, I only have one place to rearm in Ceos and weirdly that place doesn't like the idea of replacing the bullets I lodged in their associated freighters.

Limiting runs to no more than twice daily and doing my best to keep them both under one hour of travel/dropoffs is helping me not burn out, but I don't know if I can make the two billion mark:psyduck: before 1.5 kills this.

In theory. Like the last time I posted about board resetting, it seems like I'm either doing something wrong or just very unlucky. I'll get a few rotations in, and then I'll log out of open and into solo and have the same board in solo that I had in open, sometimes the same board in private as well. Like right now, I just got back into Newholm to turn in the few I got for the last round and the bounty board was the same from open to private, and going to solo only had one mission drop off to be replaced by a mining offer with the other missions being the same from the last two modes.

Gonna wrap up a few other jobs in the area and then head back to the occupied space for a few 1mil+ delivery missions I snagged, between the mission scarcity and the tedium of avoiding Federation Unite! ships in favor of Sirius Corporation freighters (because despite mission rewards, my standings with the owners of Newholm is slowly decreasing due to killing them in Ceos), I dunno if I'll head back out or hop back into the FGS and go back to Arexe.

For resetting what you're trying to do is get into an instance you didn't start. You have "your" instance with your stuff, which rotates missions as time passes and that is what you see in solo. When you're the first person in a station instance that is still your instance and if someone else shows up in your instance they see the missions generated for your instance.

The goal for swapping to open is to get into an instance started by anyone who happens to be there. With private it's to get into an instance started by another person in that group, which is pretty common when doing high traffic activities like Robigo or Fehu because there are a lot of us. When you go to solo you're checking your missions.

If you're seeing the same missions in all three then you are not loading into anyones instance, just your own, which can happen a lot during off-hours.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Then I guess my game hates me, because even having it bound as a keyboard binding (instead of a controller one) prevents me from using it in either of those situations :shrug:

I made a lot of screenshots docked or in supercruise, so it definitely works. I have no idea what could be the problem on your end, though. When you hit the key you assigned to the camera, a window should pop up asking you if you're really sure you want the debug camera. You of course take the "yes" option and your view switches to the debug camera, which you can control like your ship -> joystick and thrusters move the camera around.

Everything is pre-recorded, as far as I'm aware, but there's a decent amount of depth to these things, including tutorials for the game and the voice packs, an encyclopedic knowledge of spacefacts, voice-controlled typing, quotes, and at least one of them lets you play "I spy" - but not quite traditionally. I don't know how soon it would be before you got bored with the more gimmicky stuff, but the guy who makes these seems to keep producing (free) updates. Norman Lovett and Tom Baker are pretty neat, but a Stephen Fry or Brian Blessed would be magnificent.
