Triple Elite Hall of Fame

Bragging rights and respect. Some noob comes into your squadron and you offer helpful advice and instead of being grateful he shows his butt and starts smarting off like knows something just because he finally graduated to an aspX. So you interdict him, strip off 2 rings of his shields in 2 seconds, just in case that didn't get his attention and flash your triple elite decal and say "this is why you should listen to me" then jump back into supercruise.
Just be careful if the Asp is 3D shielded. Those tend to explode be being looked at funny.

Finally, rushed the last percents....

the time was not always fun, when i look back i:

  • nearly gave up because there are too many stars -- learned to deal with it
  • got mad at the imperial rank grind -- did it anyway
  • npc-combat-logged -- once
  • quit for 2 years -- but came back
  • played exclusively solo before my break because fear of gankers -- mostly open now
  • never came above 600 mil in cash -- i'm okay now

did not even know there was a decal.... noice.

My stroy as well, pretty much word for word. Identical progress arc and experience. The Borann escapades allowed me to amass multi-billions so no need to sweat FC maintainance etc. I'm now (finally) ready to take my first trip to Colonia and on to the Core. I'm Fleet Carrier-ing my way to and back, my only real concern being where to buy fuel.
The real achievement for me was getting combat elite. When I first started playing, I decided I wanted to be an explorer and I had no interest in combat at all then.

During the Borann heyday, I achieved my trade elite and made the usual post on Reddit showing off that I now had two elites. A player there made a comment that it was sad that someone could be exploration and trade elite and be "helpless" in combat.

I decided then to tackle combat and it ended up being my favorite game mode.

I love the fact this is still going. I feel a bit sad that it doesn't seem like the OP ever made it though, they fell off a cliff in 2017 :(
 
I made my 7th Elite... I need a new thread I think for more than just a triple Elite :D

(7 Elite total on 3 different accounts, before you ask)

Start one :D

My avatar is the Acornsoft badge I got for reaching Elite on the BBC, and with the two new Elite ranks coming with Odyssey I'm sure there would be plenty of contributors with multiple Elite ranks in combinations other than the Combat/Trade/Exploration this thread tracks :)

Like wise, only Triple Triple Elite, Never going to get an CQC Elite on any acc, and the best I can hope for is +2 more from EDO, in no hurry for that. slow and easy from here on.

Good luck to all CMDR's.
 
Just in time before Odyssey renders it pointless (kind of), but finally my CMDR can fully live up to her name:

Way back in 2016, sitting in front of that Commander creation screen, I couldn't decide who my CMDR was going to be. Would she be a explorer? A trader perhaps? Or maybe her fortune would be found on the galactic battlefield? Yeah, nah - all of it please. :p
So with my eyes set on becoming Triple Elite all that was left was to find a fitting name, reflective of the aspiration. And as luck would have it the perfect name already existed and to my delight was still available - Treya, meaning "One who walks on three paths". Little did I know that it would take me five years to get there, but today, finally, I get to leave my own entry in this fine thread. 🥳
