Forum rank higher than ingame rank?

The rank is number of posts. Elite is around 6,000 posts.

The green pips represent number of Reps. 100 per pip for the first 5 and the rest are 200's I think.

(And if you hover your mouse over the green pips you get a little message about the user.)

I can confirm 1500 rep is needed for a full eleven dot bar, and the message that you get with a mouse hover, continues to change after this after you get the full bar. It's how I know I have more rep than Dusty the Xbox Moderator! XD

T.j. (The mod) weighs in with a massive 33,000 posts and has "an Elite aura beyond repute".
 
Indeed, most of my combat rank came in 2.2 when I trained my SLF pilot up from harmless

Most my combat rank much be from skimmers :)

But the game's "Elite: Dangerous", so I'm doing it more right, yes? :p

Forum - Elite
Game (combat) - Dangerous

Boo ya, you got it the right way, lol

Oooh cool, good to know, never even noticed the different dots ... there's my afternoon of work canned whilst I spent wwaayy too long just hovering over different dots to discover all the different tooltips :D :D
 
The OP's theory falls apart with:

A) Multiple accounts.
B) Resetting those accounts.

I'm Elite on the boards, but Dangerous on my newest account and Harmless on my exploration account. The third falls in between.

Forum rank is irrelevant to my ingame rank because Im role playing serenity, therefore dont have any guns fitted...ergo Im mostly harmless with not even a single npc kill on this account...

Im actually quite proud of this but Im a bit weird anyway ^

I also play ironman and have reset my save several times ^

I wouldn't call it a theory, more like "I had a brainfart" :p

Shouldn't that be just Harmless?
Or have you had some mishaps with someone else flying recklessly...?
 
Middle aged.
Middle class.
Middle ranked.
Game, this forum, AEDC rank, Reddit, wherever.

I watch people overtake me and shine.
I also watch them burnout and fade away.

This forum is part of the game.
The game is not "where the real action is".
I promise you, there is nothing like getting in the trenches with your team and defending your pledge.
Then rattling your enemies cages here.
How sweet it is to read their letter of resignation.

There is no politics without debate.

When you see the government change in game. I'll be here raising the Alliance flag and being a tedious bore.

Yeah thats it...I dont check so my memory is a bit hazy...same difference but I do have one death from a suicide winder death from colonia to the bubble. Exploit yes, but I wanted to get my affairs done while most the...ahem other players were busy in the beta and be back on the road again before anyone knew I was there. Im about a third of the way back, more or less.

I cant harm or kill anyone because I dont have any guns...suppose I could ram them, but with my setup, Id be vaporized before I even get close. I dont have any sheilds either ^
