You V The Weekend: 2.3 Forward Planning

Bran Tse Mallory

Welcome CMDR’s,

This week in an attempt to not get shoved into the off-topic section I figured the thread needs to be about something, so with 2.3 not to far away from being released I thought it would be fun to ask you how, if at all, you plan to get ready for it’s release?

With the new engineer upgrades will you be collecting materials?

Perhaps you have been looking at the Holo-Me’s and planning how to make yourself look good in the game?

Whatever your plans are to get ready then let us know. You may just inspire others to do the same!

Also don’t forget to tell us what you plan to do in Elite this weekend…

Perhaps you plan on going to Quince to take some missions, I hear The Foundation has planetary scan missions available for silly money and you’d be helping my minor faction at the same time – I know it was a shameless plug but it’s Friday!

That’s all you get from me for now. Remember to keep it clean(ish) and have fun!

With the knowledge that I will be able to jump to my friend's ship any time and do fun stuff, I think I will go on my first exploration trip!

An excellent idea - be sure to check out the explorers section of the forum for any hints and tips you may need - They are a friendly bunch - mostly... :D

Most looking forward to Multi-crew with 2.3 as I have several friends who would benefit greatly from being able to hop into the fighter roles aboard my Corvette and learn the game/build some starting assets. The only preparing I really have to do for 2.3 is making sure I have the materials for the lightweight sensors mod, as well as perhaps looking into adjusting my shield booster setup.

As for this weekend, probably a bit of bounty hunting and delivery missions out of Sol.

Hoping to hit Sag A* this weekend, I'm only about 8KLy out at the moment, and then the Great Annihilator on the way back. Once I'm back in the bubble, I'm getting ready for the new engineering blueprints and trying to branch out to get some more engineers unlocked and leveled up!

I'm hoping that the 'big secret' reveal for 2.3 is a massive TJ nerf, let's face it, power corrupts and said corruption manifests itself in bizarre ways in TJ's case.

Combine that with a Cobra Mk IV-ectomy for Agony Aunt, a beginning to the removal of Rob Maynard's cybernetic implants and a change to Ed's Lego hair and I'll be a happy Theo.

I did all the work collecting materials for Grade 5 Sensor and other engineer upgrades last weekend, so I'm all set for my whole fleet for that, and all but two of my ships are sitting in the Achenar system ready and waiting.

Two of my ships, a Federal Corvette and a Python, are going to be transferred out to Colonia after 2.3 drops and I've done my engineering, which will cost about 1.2bn cr. I've been doing passenger missions out of Carter Port, Rhea for some time now to build up cash. First I built up the cash to buy those ships and full equip them (including additional equipment currently in storage that I'll also transfer to Colonia), and then to get the cash to transfer them.

I'm currently sitting at 2.35bn cr in cash, and aim to get as close to 4bn cr by the time 2.3 drops :) So that's what I'll still be doing this weekend.

You do realise that once you remove Mr Maynard's implant's you'll be left with just a little toe right? :D

I'm also curious about Ed's big exciting thing... That sounded totally wrong! It had better be worth it or he's in for a wet kipper at the Elite Meet. If he's not there then the Kipper gets posted to Frontiers HQ!

Hi Bran,

Not sure about this weekend....I seem to be in a Lull with ED. I have the Beta, but honestly, nothing is exciting me to dive into it on a regular basis, i've tinkered, i've created Cmdr Wasp0, so that's me done with 'Hollow Me', The camera is nice, but how often will i use it? about as much as i use the external camera as is now...'Once in a while' Multi Crew, Hmmm Jury still out on that....

So that leaves me in 2.2.03, and i have no plans, i have no ongoing missions, i have no desires (Atm)..........Still, i have THE RUGBY... C'mon England!

Happy St Paddies day to all the Irish!

Converting my Anananananconda to mostly turrets ready fo MC.

Although there is no Class 4 Turret, so that will stay as a modded gimballed burst.

Another thread worth bookmarking! Good plan Mr Turner - yet another example of how a community should pull together and help each other :)

WoW, that's some cash you plan on spending but well done for getting all the mats together beforehand - sounds like your already for the patch dropping so what do you plan to do in the meantime?

Hi Mr Wasp0,

Well you could go out and look for a new hat... Why?

Because I'm going to be holding a Holo-Me party at Sag A* once the patch drops but it's going to be by invite only and limited time too as the Cobra MkIII ain't exactly got many seats! :D

Just building up cash at the moment on sightseeing missions, as I suspect they could get nerfed in the update :/

A Hat eh? Hmmmm, Amazon here we come. Any particular style allowed in the treasured Cobra MkIII ? I am thinking Feathers....Peacocks!

As soon as 2.3 drops I might start playing again, been replying the Dead space games, saying that ME 4 is due very soon so ED might be on a back burner för some time to come..

I will be spending some of the weekend chipping away at my return to the bubble from Beagle Point - rough estimate is 100,000ly as I won't be going in a straight line. I have also slowed my progress down a little as a recent in-game accident has made me a little wary about accumulating and repairing too much damage. Still, I hope to knock maybe 10,000ly off the trip this weekend.

As for 2.3, there's not a lot I can do out here to prepare - maybe try to decide if I want a commander that looks like me or like a human ;) Do you have to be docked to use the commander creator? If so, it might be a while before I get to play with it.

When I get back, I'd like to spend a bit of time doing some archaeology - visiting ancient sites, unearthing hidden secrets, and landing/driving on priceless artifacts ;) So I may spend some time catching up in the alien archaeology mega-thread. However, given the Unknown Trailer, it is entirely possible that the bubble might be at war or slaves to our new insect overlords.

I was wondering about multi-crew and exploration. Does multi-crew have a range limit? If not, maybe you could use it to have a bit of company now and then - either people joining you for some exploring, or you joining them for some fighting - as some kind of player tourism - "See the wonders of the universe without the time, expense and grind" - or as a training tool - "Come join me to see what exploration is all about". Nothing I can do about it at the moment - not using Beta - but just thinking ... not a lot else to do out here [zZzZz]
