I'm sure MI6 uses this as a torture method.
Things to actually do in ED?

Become a serial seal-clubbing murderhobo griefer. For the prestige.
And kidnap humans, and kill humans.
The only thing i've ever had to do in elite was sandbox experimentation. Ie, come up with an idea, wonder if the result will be fun, give it a go. A ship not tried before, a sandbox activity, something in the mission boards, new weapon types, new flying styles. Basically a constant stream of "sandbox missions". When its time to do something else, you fill the gaps naturally between these.
Also if you were serious about eating "grinding" as something normal you do every day... maybe try other games who make an effort into it.. their grinding systems are endless, designed to actually make you feel good about doing it, and probably monetized as well. Connecting the idea of grinding will elite will kill you. You don't even get a popup box when your grinding is finished. It doesn't even tell you when you've finished. No achievement nothing. So you've technically wasted all your time.
If the sandbox dries up then its time to move on.. until you can invent something else to do.
Also i came up with one on the weekend.. turret weapons on smaller ships (ie, python and krait). Having a blast and refactored the fleet.

Why was this thread resurrected?
Because waffles are delicious. It makes as much sense as any other explanation.
This for sure.
Yeah OP this has been the issue with the game since literally day one. And it's very disheartening that after all these years it still hasn't been addressed in any significant way. I really hope the next two big updates change the game. Elite will never reach its potential and will die off if they don't address this core problem.
Question regarding threatening a squadron/PMF with BGS attack
Ahoy, I have a question... I am posting it here because I am not sure where to post it. Scenario: a player squadron "Aggro" (not having BGS in its home) decides for some reason to attack the squadron/PMF "Defo" (which has BGS) roughly 200ly away. Situation: squadron Aggro engages squadron Defo...
Code:
Scenario: a player squadron "Aggro" (not having BGS in its home) decides for some reason to attack the squadron/PMF "Defo" (which has BGS) roughly 200ly away.
Situation: squadron Aggro engages squadron Defo in PvP (pews pews) and attacks squadron Defo's BGS.
Developement: pews pews fade away, but BGS attack keeps going. Squadron Defo cannot retaliate as squadron Aggro doesn't have any BGS.
Conditions: squadron Aggro submits conditions to squadron Defo, threatening the latter with a never stopping BGS attack until:
---> some players/leaders of squadron Defo are banned forever and tags removed, as well as never allowed to wing up with Defo members anymore
---> a member of Aggro becomes overlord of Defo and nominates new leader for the future
In other words: in this scenario, squadron Aggro uses a BGS attack, threatening to never stop it until the Defo PMF is wiped away from its systems, arrogating the right to decide who is going to lead the Defo squadron and breaching the right of Defo players to decide who are their team mates in game.
Can't really complain. I've bought games that I ended up playing a fraction of time compared to ED and still thought them worth the investment.
Since this thread is back from the dead I'm just gonna leave these here ...

The Cortes Base drag strip challenge: another standing SRV time trial from the Buckyball Racing Club
Feast your eyes on that location folks! If ever there was a planetary base begging to be the home of an SRV challenge then Cortes Base in the Ross 1047 system has to be it! (I would like to thank Cmdrs graememk and DeadMeatGF of Hutton Orbital's operation HOT MESS for bringing this location to...
Cortes Base Circuit challenge: An Elite Racers standing time trial
Cortes Base Circuit challenge: An Elite Racers standing time trial How to SUBMIT AN ENTRY Start near the lights outside the base. Complete 3 laps. Timer starts as you enter the tunnel on your 1st lap. Timer ends as you exit the tunnel at the end of your 3rd lap. Post your entry somewhere...
Next time you log in, you could try landing.
I'm a fan of pancakes myself.
I find it very hard to answer this. I mean yes, the last weeks i log in like once every other week. Other things by now keep my busy. Which is not that surprising, after racking up several weeks worth of game time. But i do log in once a while and just enjoy flying the spaceships, no matter which activity i actually choose to go for.
So in my eyes the trick is to not lock yourself into one activity. Enjoy the fun of merely flying the ships. Just decide which ship you want to fly on this evening, then decide on which activity it is suitable for and go for it. I consider this the most enjoyable way to handle the game. (Formerly i also was able to use GalNet as a source of suggestion on where to go and do stuff. But that's unfortunately a thing of the past. )
