i want to murder the fucker at :frontear: who decided that the default binding for "eject all cargo" (END) should be right next to "silent running" (DELETE)

open cargo scoop is home aka right above end so when you are trying to open the cargo scoop for collector limpets you eject everything, eject cargo is in a terrible spot.

Does that even work? Last I heard ship kills don't count towards the whole wing's missions. Also wings are just broke as gently caress and everyone but the leader has their game freeze up in combat every so often and/or disconnects all the time.

One way to find out if its broken or not.

Alzion posted:

That won't really work since the majority of the time spent doing this exploit is switching sessions and board scumming.

not really asking for the most quickest fastest way of breaking the game just looking for some other people to kill time with, I know being social isn't a goon thing and elite goons hate it even more but come on.

I've just been kitting my Asp out for passengers in Quince because I fancied maybe doing 2000ly with a passenger.

I noticed a passenger mission on the board with no reward value attached to it.

"Must be a bug" I thought.

"Maybe it's a bug that'll have a screwed up floating point and I'll get 17 billion CR or something" I concluded.

It was an illegal passenger that only wanted to go to Quince Visitor Beacon, so I snapped it up.

Jumped out of low wake at the beacon and scanned it in Silent Running mode because I'd had a warning about someone coming to kill my passenger.

Got a message from my assailant at the beacon. They're supposed to be government forces and they're in a Vulture. I didn't want to stop and fight, what with this humungous mystery price tag up for stake (first time I've had something like this in over 6 months play), so I jumped out to a random system and jumped back into Quince again and headed for Millerport to complete the mission.

Decided on a screengrab before I dock and release my glorious reward:



Then jumped out at Millerport, lined myself up with the mailbox from about 10Km away and schnurgled into base in Silent Running mode. All is good, so I go to the passenger board and claim my mystery prize:



Negative 741 Credits. :rolleyes:



EDIT:

There's actually another one without a price on the boards, same detail:



Must be a recurring bug.

That mission is just for engineer stuff no credits.

I parked in Quince and summoned an iggle before passing out last night. How much does explorer rank help the payouts? I have 87% Ranger, should I run back out into space to get that last 5.3 million for Pioneer? Or would I be better off spending that time grinding now that we have a looming deadline?

Exploration helps out alot i normaly make 17-18 mil per run with elite exploration.

Your Loyal Vizier posted:

Roger. Does Quince have passengers you can ferry back into the bubble when it's rank-up time?


it has some long range mission outside of the bubble and its how I got my elite exploration rank. Scum the hell out of passengers that all go to the same spot its possible to get them all to the same and just go there. But you need to scum hard but will be worth it.

there are two thargoid factions, and they are having a civil war according to the elite dangerous book. But we as players will never see this or really ever get to effect it.

Money makes money; take your hauler to the next trade CG and you should crack a couple mil - enough for a Type 6 for further trading, ~or~

There's also the 'Road to riches', which is a list of jumpable systems with Earthlike and Water worlds you can scan and then sell the explorer data for mad cash - you'll need a detailed surface scanner, an advanced discovery scanner and a 3A fuel scoop to make the most of this, and an A ranked FSD - three mil will outfit this on your hauler.

https://pastebin.com/hCf3iwe6

Starting at HIP 14976, scanning planets A7, A5 and A6, then jumping to HIP 16709 - you get the idea, do as many as you can stand, then head to a station and sell the data at the Cartographic office. Do all this in solo, if you get smeared by an rear end in a top hat in open you will hate your life.

So I'm out in the pleiades being killed by station campers while (heroically) rescuing evacuees, and I just noticed that my fed rank progression has reached 100%, which iirc means I should be looking for a naval mission to rank up

Any chance of finding one of those in one of the federation stations out here in the boonies? I relogged half a dozen times in a station to refresh the missions from a couple of fed reps but nothing seemed to stand out from the regular stuff

Keep doing those missions, even though it says 100% its still counting and adding to your overall rank, do enough to get a vette.
