I'm still deep in the black, not much time to play just now, limited to solo and I'm off on holiday for a bit, have been keeping tabs from afar and hope to have more meaningful interaction soon
In the meantime - where can I find myself a Deep-Recon-X signature or avatar ?

Seems like you guys had a blast. Sorry I didn't join you, I was online but didn't think I was ready to go to Open. I'm pretty low on Credits barely able to pay insurance after I bought and semi-setup my Asp Explorer.
Still grinding Witchhaul-Zaonce Rare run. Now I need to buy my 6B Scoop and 5A AFMU which will total about 15,000,000 CR. I'm considering going to Sothis and Ceos to do the missions there but hesitant cause I heard sometimes people wait an hour or so for the good missions to show up...I can't afford that much waiting where as with the Rare runs I can get about 1.5-2 million credits guaranteed an hour or so.
[wacko] <--feeling confused
Hi Thomas. (Loving the new badge by the way. Looks good!)
Last night whilst in open, there were no issues with idiot players or anything like that. You will find that 99.9% of players will salute you or something like that when they see you. Remember, everyone is flying a ship they have paid for with their own cash. Not many want to start a fight and loose! There are a few who roleplay as pirates but a lot of them are honourable and will let you go on your way after you have dropped a little cargo for them.
As for Sothis and Ceos, a little tip is to get the missions you want and then log out and go into open. Check the missions and then log out and go into solo. Rinse and repeat. You will find that more missions will appear. I'm thinking of heading over that way now myself so I may see you there.
Dell.[yesnod]
snip.... I'm off on a deep space expedition.![]()
Come with us on 'Go West'. I think that it starts next week... or the week after
Dell or Iconoclypse will reveal the details soon, so keep an eye on this thread, Inara or Discord. I think it is due to leave before 2.2 hits, but I quite fancy a fighter bay for the trip..... With a big jump range, it'll be easy to catch up.
Will look out for you Devon
7th Oct - It's a biggie - 'Go West'Come with us on the next exploration mission. I think that it starts next week... or the week after
Oh boy I would, but I'm not going anywhere without a 6B Fuel Scoop and a 5A AMFU, so I still need to grind a little more. Hopefully, maybe by next week or week after that I'll have them.
How far off are you guys planning to go?
Eventually, if I'm ready I'd like to head out and not come back to the bubble until the new year![]()
OK AFMU - ditch (or get a smaller one); Fuel scoop - 6B! Seriously? I know others will tell you otherwise, BUT my AspX has a 3A. Now considering that 'Go West' is a 90kylie round trip, time is on you're side. Let me put it another way - Bigger scoop, get the quicker BUT get there quicker, lose all that lovely carto data in between... It's a trade-off, and, in fairness, I will almost certainly get a bigger scoop for the mission, but a 6B? Nah! Somewhere in between.
Also, rescue services will be on hand for EMERGENCIES (not, I got impatient, I'm a numpty, I can't scoop, I'm a muppet, Wah, something else, etc)
(Please note, advice provided in this post is in no way legally actionable even if you have to call the Fuel Rats 40kylies out. {Shotgun, B'stard, and Dribble - Attorneys at law for CMDR Iconoclypse})
OH! And 'Go West' is leaving 7th Oct and not returning 'til mid-December - JUST IN TIME FOR:- THE AS_YET_UNNAMED_DRX_HOLIDAY_SEASON_THINGY!!!!!
(Does that tickle your fancy?)
lol thanks for the advice but I think I can actually get the setup I'm looking for in a few days. I was just in Sothis and picked up 5 missions that totaled about 7 million creditsI nearly rolled off my couch!
I think I can spend the Credits on the stuff...my biggest decision right now is whether to bring 8T cargo rack or not! I can't decide!
and
whether to bring one SRV or two...
If I don't bring the Cargo Racks I'm bringing two AFMU's. I haven't heard of any crazy unique cargo out of the bubble but would hate for it to happen and not be able to put it somewhere :\
