One more day concentrating on Shinrarta.

Tasks for today:

Bounty Hunting & Combat:
  • Bounty Hunting in LFT 926. hand in only TDW bounty vouchers into any station in Shinrarta Dezhra.
  • Scenarios at installations or megaships in LFT 926 generate TDW bounties that can be handed in to any station in Shinrarta Dezhra.

Commodity Trading
- run profitable trades to TDWs planetary ports in SD 'Neumann Camp' and 'Puleston Arsenal'

Missions & Passengers
- Lots of TDW missions in Shinrarta Dezhra

Exploration Data:
- Sell to TDWs planetary ports in SD 'Neumann Camp' and 'Puleston Arsenal'

To assist us with monitoring the expansion, please fly around the local systems with EDMC or similar tools active. This feeds data to the third party sites which then update the tools we use.

Keep Spinning The Wheel, Hamsters!

This is a VERY WELL KNOWN bug that I have also SPECIFICALY advised Frontier on for this exact system. LFT 926 had something on the order of 130+ FC's in it a couple weeks ago and then one guy DECOM'd his FC "NO PRIDE [Q3L-15W]" and this seems to have triggered the bug. Since then nobody has been able to move a FC INTO LFT-926 or REPOSITION an FC already in system. This is despite the fact that many people have filtered out over time and the system currently has only 18 FC's left in system. This is a KNOWN BUG that has been reported in many systems by many people so as we see Frontier continue to roll out dot patches (just last week they rolled out the .2 patch) I am quite confident that they will address this. For now it's a serious issue but a minor inconvenience when compared to some of the other issues rolling around. Some people are reporting multiple disconnects due to "orange sidewinder" when attempting to dock; others an inability to SuperCruise... In the end I think it's healthy for us all keep in mind that with MASSIVE content update patches like what we got in June with the introduction of FC's there are bound to be some dot patches required to smooth out the implementation even with beta testing. I for one am quite happy with the big addition of content and features and willing to slog thru some minor annoyances that get introduced and then eventually resolved that come along with this process. I want to specifically give a huge thank you to Dav Stott and his entire team who are no doubt working overtime while the rest of us enjoy long weekends of gaming to address these issues. Can I get a round of cheer in the tread and thank you's for the people whose hard work makes the introduction of ambitious feature rich content drops like this possible??? 😘

Can anyone park a FC at LFT 926 AB 4 (Near the "Emerald Pastures Retreat")? I would really appreciate it!

I'm trying to collect bounties for TDW, but the nearest stations and FC are at 3,000Ls, so restocking takes awhile. An FC parked nearby would greatly shorten the time!

If you still need, I can, in about an hour (going home for lunch). I think I might be able to one jump to that location, from Anumclaw. I may even partake in the bounties there since my own searches have gone stale.

I seem to remember that TDW was described as being an elite group of explorers. So if that's the case, then lore-wise having an exploration rank of elite should be sufficient.

In the book Elite: The Dark Wheel, the "elite" pilot that was part of TDW was an "elite combateer" and any mention of ranks (dangerous, deadly, etc) was always about combat. No mention of "exploration" or "trade" ranks existed, so I think these may have been added for Elite: Dangerous. But going strictly by the book, I tend to think that "elite" rank related to TDW is about combat.

I got ganked a couple times in a row around Meredith Station and the planet surface last evening. I wasn't hauling cargo or data missions, I was merely testing my new Phantom. Newbie CMDRs like me, be careful. Vets, please be on the lookout for a trouble maker or two.

Right, it's just to fit the game's model for specializations. Some people aren't at all interested in combat and this is to be expected in many MMOs. I had a buddy, who did nothing but primarily fish and craft, in Final Fantasy LOL

It seems there is a bug that prevents FC parking in nearby that planet. However, if you succeed to park there, let me know! I'll be glad to use your FC as a base of operations!

System security is slipping in LFT 926. I havent been on since last night but we were in the white instead of the green. Was there a reason we started handing in bounty vouchers at other places than Meredith City that i missed over the last few days while i havent been as active on here? Also happiness in lft 926 has dropped from elated to happy. Both of these may have changed since last night already, i just wanted to point it out in case it went unnoticed.

Yup, repelling enemy attacks at installations adds a little to system security too. I suspect that among us we're going to amass a fair amount of cr in combat bounties to hold for the tick before redemption. I just spent some time at the Military Installation and at the Alcatraz-Class Prison Ship and earned >2M in bounties readily.

Isn't there a daily limit above which redemptions don't contribute? Would we know if the limit has been reached in case we want to avoid hitting the limit hard and perhaps coordinate redemptions instead?

And more in general, HOW do we raise system security?! I know that missions in general raise economy (even the bounty hunting ones), so I'm a little confused about security.

Some missions will raise security, but mainly bounty hunting.

Every source of influence has a diminishing returns curve, but that's only really important if you're trying to efficiently manage more systems than you have the people for, and most of them aren't contested so you're looking to put in minimum effort.

There's never a limit as such (unless all actions in the system are only for one faction, in which case there's a very low limit, but in systems this busy that doesn't apply)

Bounty hunting in system and turning in bounties to stations controlled by tdw
Click to expand...
Bounties are labelled influence, so it doesn't matter who controls the station, but it does matter who the bounty is labelled for.

When you get to your next system, bounty hunting in LFT to hand-in at the new system will be a convenient way to build early influence without a station and diversify from missions.
