Finally Beat Elite!

How can you elite in cqc?
Nobody plays it.
Now you have to find thargoid home base, raxxla and first discovery of every possible star and planet type.
 
Try it again but only using a Sidewinder. That brings a lot of new challenges. I'm presently double elite, broker in trading, King in Empire, Ensign in the Federation and have most of the engineers at level 5. You need a special mindset to deal with this sort of grind but I think you might have it.

Congratulations too. there's not many quadruple elites.

Well done!

Now you need to land at every single base, visit every star system, find 'what's-his-face', and rank up with the Thargoids and Alliances.

:p

A God of the grind indeed.
Shame there are no rewards for actual challenging things, but rather just rank for doing the same thing over and over until you are reach a Elite or get bored.

I'd much prefer a medal system for things:

  • Solo Kill an Elite pilot in same class ship
  • Solo Kill a Thargoid
  • Complete the Guardian Mission ( post the 2.3 when it was actually possible without exploits )
  • Discover an Alien base ( Guardian or Thargoid - obviously are only a few hundred - so it's first come first rewarded )
  • Activate the Tharoid base stella map thingy
  • Scan all data points are Formadine sites ( Rift / Conflux / Hawkin Gap )
  • Scan all data points for the Generation Ships
  • Sol to Sag A and back to Sol without a rebuy

It's possible become 4xElite and Admiral and King without doing any of the above, so basically just grinding missions and milking res sites of Elite NPC Adder pilots!

When I reached Elite in trade I had no sense of achievement at all - pretty sure when I Elite in exploration ( 26% Pioneer ) I'll also be under whelmed - however doing the things I listed above did actually make me feel like I'd achieved something - but the game gives no rewards for those - the game only 'rewards' grind.

Not sure if I should say congratulations or send my condolences - 9 weeks of your life gone uhhg. (Congrat's!)

Pssst: you're only 75% with the Major factions. Need to bump them all to 100% quickly!
 
Congrats J, ..that is awesome! :)

Have you 'first discovered' a system with a system name that you can fit into casual conversation?
Cheers! o7
 
Beaten Elite?

You just got out of the starting gate, got your keys to the car so to speak lol

Now you need to step in line with all us other spacemen and wait for the story to develop in accordance with the ten-year plan before making any further plans regarding the conquering of the game.
