According to the traffic report there's been about 30,000 ships through Eravate in the last 24 hours, nearly 20k of them being sidewinders. I guess this means the sale has attracted a lot of new players. Great news for everyone!

edit : Just checked steam game stats and the game is at an all time peak at this very minute of 10,000 odd players.

Elite traders could own all those 20000 Sidewinders and still have enough credits over to fly around in an A-rated Conda.

And here those Sidewinder pilots are, dropping into their first SSS and enjoying the few minutes of owning a ton of gold...

LOL Do you think they have learned how to deploy cargo scoop? I learned that very late and in fact rammed the first few canisters.:p

That's interesting.

Realized I was just three jumps away from LHS 3447 and Eravate so I decided to take a peek. Last time there was such a huge influx of new players at the same time (Steam release) it was impossible to fly around that system since everything slowed down to a crawl.

Now it's smooth as butter! :)

EDIT: Also had to take out a wanted CMDR while there...oh well...they have to learn sometimes! :D

I spent 30 minutes flying around the Eravate Nav Beacon. I'm guessing about a dozen or more noobs in Sidies. It was great to see!

Oh, and to CMDR Oggy171 flying the Python that I practiced circling with FA OFF as you bounty hunted, thanks for being a good sport.
I kind of felt bad when I hailed you to say that, and you responded with "I speak fr".

One of them was mine :) Loving the game so far. A steep learning curve, but nothing an avid 30 yo gamer like myself couldn't handle. I guess I have to buy a HOTAS now, though I'm managing trade just fine with my keyboard.

I came back from walking my dog at around 7:30 PM and I played until 4 AM wiht work from 9AM the next day (and walking the dog before that)...

It took me a while to beat the first two combat scenarios, space combat was really hard before I read somewhere to bind 50% reverse throttle to a hotkey.

Then, I went in and decide to trade, took a mission to supply progenitor cells. I was in my stock sidewinder. The planned route was 24 jumps haha. A few minutes later i learned that you can run out of fuel stranded lightyears away from the nearest station.

But then I kind of got the hang of it, now I dock like a champ and I even got the hang of silent running. Made almost 500k in my first night of playing, and I can't wait to buy a Cobra when I get back. If anyone wants to message me, I will hang around in federation space (gonna get my cobra from Gidzenko Ring in Chamunda). IGN is the same.

Since I can't seem to edit my post, I made my 500k mostly by doing "smuggle these here imperial slaves" missions that paid 60 to 90k per mission.

Following some "griefers are back!!!" posts I arrived in LHS 3447 yesterday in my Asp, spend some time trying to get the system back on its legs (there's a famine, an outbreak and the system is on the brink of civil war!), and then spend some time patrolling around LHS 3447 and Eravate in an Eagle. Saw loads of Harmless Sidewinders, some Eagles and Adders and one dude in a Clipper offering help and advice to new players. Didnt find a trace of troublemakers, just a whole bunch of new players enjoying themselves. :)
