Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[aRJay]

How do I find the stuff to gather? Is it like a HGE where I have to scan the system to find a signal?

20% heat? So heatsinks and/or a G5 clean drive?

The Titan appears on the system map, when you reach it in cruise it is a bit like arriving at a hot spot in a ring, as you approach the centre things will appear on your radar and contacts page, some will be mats some cargo some might be Thargoids but they become fewer the older the wreck is though pirates then start to appear.

A heat sink is handy, clean drives, low emission power pack, efficient modules all help.
Some ships are known for cool running such as the Diamondback Explorer or the Krait Phantom.

I think it takes some time to get used to being a billionaire. Last night, I bought two ships, one small and one medium and that barely put a scratch in my bank account...

If you want to notice the bill start buying cutters, you can build them so even the rebuy is in eight figures.

Okay... Right now, this would still be a little steep, I guess. But as I still have to reach the rank to buy that one...

The trouble is the most expensive non rank locked ship is the Anaconda which is about half the price of the Cutters 8A Fuel Scoop, so it is difficult to make so much of a dent in the bank balance.

That's okay for me, right now. I made my first billion, but I'm far from being able to buy a Cutter and equip it. And even further away from obtaining a carrier and maintain it.

I wonder if this Orca would be any good at Jamesson's Memorial, these days...

It should do nicely for evacuation work, using the Drag Drive experimental would gain you 20 on speed for 0.2% on Thrust Heat.

I think you need to shoot some sort of Thargoid to qualify for the CG rewards though.

Yeah, you're right. The rescue missions are not part of the CG.

 

[aRJay]

Yeah, you're right. The rescue missions are not part of the CG.

The good news is the CG is at Tier 1 so all you need to do is shoot down one Scout in Shin Dez, and they can be killed by non AX weapons, to qualify.

I was there doing that a few minutes ago but using the ship I used to damage the Titan with.

Knowing my luck, I'll be fighting a Scout while its big sister sneaks up on my back...

Hi All

I went to the Lave station last night in my anniversary decaled Cobra Mk 3 (Around 7.30 pm uk time to about 9pm) ...quite fun. I don't usually play in open but I did last night.
A pleasant experience, so thank's to all the other Cmdr.'s who attended.

Just tried to move my Carrier this morning from Riedquat where it was stationed last night, but as others have experienced today it's 'Jump locked'....ah well.....

I watched the Lave Radio & Drew Wagar 40th streams concurrently, until they merged with a raid

I remember well, though didn't really play, the original Elite (our home computer was an Apple ][, not a BBC Micro) and it was really interesting to see more of the 1990's Frontier Elite games (available game time was mainly playing CD-ROM adventures on a Mac LC-630 by then)

...so here's to Elite in general & Elite Dangerous in particular - may it live long & prosper!

 

[CMDR Timber McWolf]

Happy birthday, Elite!

Yes, it’s true…

Zorgon P has u covered. Try the hot mineral springs laser blast from a huge hardpoint on a fearsome fighter


Or turn the heat up even further for less doing business in a Hauler

Hello all!

The other game I pay just had a new expac so I've been in that world for a while now. It has been fun but now I feel the pull of the bubble - or maybe the black - once again so I should be back here very shortly.

Now all I need to do is catch up on all the posts!

Better feed the critters and grab a six pack.

Good to hear from you, good Sir - was getting concerned...! :]

Is anyone flying a T8? Not sure whether to splash out on one...
