Sothis got me from 71m liquid and around 280m assets to 515m liquid and 828 assets in under a week. Time to gently caress around with a 'Conda doing what-the-gently caress-ever. Probably gonna trade as much Sothis Crystal Gold in to Mother Goat as I can before I go insane and try to Conda mine/look for ATT again.

The guys who set up the CG's probably had a conversation like this. Guy A: People have said that mining is cool now, we need data on how cool it is, let's do a bunch of Community Goals of each type and get some hard data on how cool it is via player participation. Guy B: It's going to suck dude I mean mining? Guy A: If it really sucks we can get more valuable player feedback that will let us know how much development time to invest on making it suck less, and we can tune future Goals to be more realistic.

Avocados posted:Yeah, I know Volgin says it once or twice. But is there CQC in Elite Dangerous? CQC is literally the name of the 1.4 expansion of Elite: Dangerous. It owns, even though I suck at it. Adult Sword Owner posted:Details pls http://coriolis.io/outfit/asp/03A5A5A4D4C5D5C-------02000005374202020101.Iw18WQ==.Aw18WQ==?bn=Hauling%20Asp 88tons, just enough shields and chaff to never give a gently caress about being interdicted while you boost away and high wake out, and the Fuel Scoop is big enough to refuel your tank between single jumps by the time the standard FSD cooldown ends. My personal trick is to only take Haul missions if you can get at least two of them to the same station at once. My record is nine dropoff missions to the same station. I've also gotten really, really good at dropping NPC's into stars as they try to get behind me for an interdiction.

A word on Robigo. Be paranoid about star classes on your route, make very sure you get scoopable stars BEFORE you run out of fuel. If you hit half empty on your fuel tank, check your route again to make sure you hit a KGB FOAM.

Danknificent posted:Thanks. I have a few questions. 1. You will have to pay for the expansions if you buy the base game right now, but yes ED seems to be actually keeping their promise of one big expansion like that per year. Wait until Horizons is released to buy, because then you can play the entire released game as of Horizons and not have to pay again for the new stuff that is maybe one month away. 2. Wait. If you don't want to play the game right now or even "gonna die historic on the lunar road" then just don't. 3. Fuel Rats are a thing. 4. This game is very optimized compared to just about any other big release in the last few years. That said, Horizons will require a 64bit client. SERIOUSLY DO NOT BUY THIS GAME BEFORE HORIZONS Groggy nard fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Nov 22, 2015 |

NEW PLAYERS WHO WANT TO HAVE LODSA EMONE If you get enough money to get into this Cobra(you can downgrade the Fuel Scoop to a B or C if you are low on cash) and go to a System called "Robigo" you can find special long distance bonus paying Haul missions, which will give you literally millions of credits to haul two tons of biowaste, and even more millions to sneak in illegal and immoral "goods" on the low. You can get a few of them at Trade Rank Penniless(which is the default new CMDR rank you start with) but you will get more even better paying ones the higher that rank goes. You can stack these. This is currently the most broken "working as intended" way to make cash and raise your Trade rank. It also gives you a good boost to your Federation Ranking. I once made 50million in one hour of the "smuggle struggle" with dat ASP If you get Interdicted on the way, just submit, hit the boost button a lot, target the next system in your jump route, wait out the minimal FSD cooldown, and There are a few good effortposts around this very thread explaining the how and why in more detail, they are worth a look if you want more information.

Thronde posted:So, no, you can't always get missions there at penniless. I've taken Penniless Unfriendly Haul missions before so, yes, you can if you don't mind mission board scumming. Except at Robigo it pays something like 800,000 credits, so most Robigo vets ignore it unless it happens to go to the same station as a higher paying Haul.

Welp all this Explorer posting and my recent demotion means that I should finally stop thinking about flying out my Gold Plated Autism Explorer and actually bring out my Gold Plated Autism Explorer. The extra AFM is in case my first AFM breaks, the cargo is because Black Holes Are Thirsty. I know because the last time I saw them they told me so. If I find any salvagable escape pods I might even have an audience/more offerings to the gods of entropy.

Target Practice posted:Okay how the gently caress do I know I'm killing the right guys for these combat bond CGs? I popped into a HiCZ and there were no Emperor's Dawn guys, so I just picked a side. Do I have to jump from CZ to CZ to find Emporer's Dawn fighting? Yes, you have to kill the right guys for the thing. To be more clear, you got a contract to kill a specific targeted group of individuals, say, Derpers' Face, right? Well if you show up to the combat zone for an unrelated war between "Dickbutts 5000" and "Purple People Eaters" and just start blowing up one side, well, it's definitely fun, sure, but you won't get paid for it, because the guy with the money doesn't care about the Purples or the Dickbutts, he wants the Derps pilots sucking vacuum, so he won't be inclined to pay you for murdering the wrong people.

Target Practice posted:Does resetting the instance by logging change who is fighting in it? I only ask because there is a high intensity one 1.5mm from the station. No, you have to find the right combat zone near a planet somewhere, they don't reset which factions are fighting at one location. Combat Zones won't show up until you get close to the planet as well, something like 500 ls away?
