Things every CMDR should do once.

[Han Zulu]

Engage in combat with flight assist off.

Play chicken with a Corvette...

Engage in combat with flight assist off.

I was just about to say that. I have almost 700hrs in the game and I tried FA off combat for the first time yesterday. It was great fun with my FAS

It's a challenge for sure. I've done a few times with mixed results. Need more practice. So I've also been working on landing and taking off with FAoff, but... no good results. Have to switch FA on most of the time. I'll get there eventually.

Play container ball with an Anaconda.

Essentially, have a container or alien probe or whatever and hit it with the nose

 

[monogenetic]

Make a Billion credits, rank up enough to get the 'Vette & Cutter..... Then wipe your save and start over fresh

Been there done that and did it all over again!

 

[monogenetic]

Get ganked at Deciat

 

[verminstar]

Win a fight with no canopy and make it back with just enough air left so ye can live to tell the tale ^

Failing that, hit a high G planet preferably over 4G flat out as steep a dive as ye can get and land safely with no sheild in under 60 seconds and zero damage...have fun ^

 

[Lucifera Danzig]

Find a secondary star, with basic discovery scanner only.

Enter a system, notice that secondary star is off to starboard, turn and travel till daybreak...

 

[Maro-Val]

Make a 260 LY jump.
Go from Sol to Colonia without a fuel scoop.
Discover a system with 5 black holes.

 

[Frank]

Get really high in an SRV

 

[nik_a777]

Kill lanother cmdr. Oh the humanity.
Land the ship with only fumes in the tank.
Ram a medusa
Launch upside down from a high g world and melt your ship.

Break 100m/s in the SRV on a planet in a flat out sprint ^

 

[V'larr]

It's funny...I still haven't been to Hutton Orbital.

And I never will, unless Fdev decides to change supercruise and remove the acceleration cap mentioned in my time thread.

I promise I'll make it the first thing I do if they do address that issue, though!

I usually get really high... with or without SRV

Rookie numbers!

Once you figure out how to go 100 m/s, you realize you can basically keep accelerating forever (with enough repair synthesis materials, reasonable terrain, and luck).

And getting to ludicrous SRV speeds (100, 200, 300, or even higher) is absolutely something every CMDR should do at least once.

 

[GraXXoR]

[up] Finish the grind all the way to KING and ADMIRAL ranks.

I wonder how many CMDRs ever accomplish this currently useless goal? There should be an award, like a big, flashy "Crown" decal for KING or "Lion Rampant" decal for ADMIRAL.

Finish Admiral and King, then circumnavigate galaxy in a non-engineered ship. 10,000 jumps for the win.

Snorting Crystal Kalaxian while driving, biiiaaachh!

 

[lilwacky]

Check out some of the low orbit stations, amazing sights, you can even see yourself and the planet moving. Laming orbital and azaban orbital are a couple.

 

[Arkadi]

...orbiting Sagittarius A* in VR while having ones favorite drink.

damn it ... actually a reason to make that trip again... in VR. hmm....

 

[Aashenfox]

Canyon run on Ariel. But wait for planet fixes.
