Notice ARX FAQ

does anyone know if you can buy arx through steam?
I looked for them today but didn't see them. I don't want to give Frontier my credit card. Since my Frontier account is linked to Steam, I wonder if it's possible to purchase Arx on Frontier's site and have it transfer the funds from my Steam account...

Still, I hate Frontier's store website (it's a royal mess guarded by a captcha hellhound), so I think Frontier will be losing a lot of $$ by not making Arx available on Steam...
 
Ok, so I did a sample selection of gameplay to see how fast I would accrue ARX and I'm not terribly dissapointed, a short exploration trip (2kly(ish) not many FD tags so 90M or thereabouts), buying a gunships worth of packhounds a couple of hours HazRez sweeping and boom 490 ARX.

What I'm curious about is this cap since clearly I've exceeded it? If I had continued the session (and i'm mat farming a hazrez so it could be a long one) how much further could I have passed this limit?

It might really help if this value updated within the game rather than making me go back to the main menu to see.
 
Got like 23 Arx in about 3 hours during which my gameplay consisted in: jump to mining location, kill any opposition (4 ships) there, mined about 2.5h, then jump about 6 times to sell station (some fss along the way and 2 more pirates killed), selling 586t of painite at destination and about 20k credits worth of exploration data.
No bounties since all kills happened in Anarchy systems.

Seems really low, tbh.
 
Yeah, at the moment it's not looking like a good passive income - if you target it then you can do ok, but 'just play the game' won't work (at least for trade / explo as far as I've seen)

Maybe the carriers will resolve that deficiency bringing trading and cartographics to the void?

What happens to the risk?
 
Attention! This is a whiteknight-post!

"Mining/Exploring/Hunting doesn't get me to my 400 WEEKLY cap after x+2h. This is tedious!" - Before the recent "bugdate" (sorry FD)...your net-income was exactly NULL. Please stop this nonsense.

"Those PFC will cost you x+2 phantastillion ARX to jump! I swear!" - No, they won't! It was clearly said several times, you have to gather MATERIALS for moving the PFC.

P.S.: Please FD...Do what you can to fix this borked mess, called an "Update". Thanks guys and gals.:coffee:
 
Thank you for a quick reply,when i got my Legendary Edition there was 1000 Frontier points with it ,that explains it .Thanks again
 
Ok, logged back in, where I'd been mining Painite, and mined for a few hours...Flew back to base, swapped my rig to jump range, sold off my remaining limpets to free up space....Jumped over 200ly in 9 jumps, scanning as I went (only a coupe planet maps, but at least found everything in the systems), scanned a planet in my destination system, hit the wrong station, filled up my holds after selling explore data, hit the right station, after scanning it's planet, sold my entire hold for 400+ mil profit...and STILL at zero ARX, as far as I can tell (showed my ARX balance at zero logging out, never showed any gain messages)

I don't mind earning it slowly...but to get nothing for all that seems more than slightly wrong

Hey CMDR! Did you look in the MAIN MENU after you left the game? Arx will be added when leaving the active game afaik! Greez & o7!
