Joined 22/04/2016, I was a trader back in 1984 and continue that trend with my Python but I have a 61 ly max jump range Anaconda that I take on exploration trips and intend to do so more, just completed the 25 Unknown Fragments for Professor Palin actually to get the corrosion resistant cargo racks more than anything else for future possible unknowns out in the depths of the galaxy.

Oh I have Sol, Sirius and Alioth permits and working on Van Maanan's Star

As someone who is highly ranked with the empire and the feds as well as trade Elite I'm not familar with the Van Maanan`s Star permit, what's the story with it.
 
Triple Elite, probably never ever load CQC.

CQC holds exactly 0% interest for me as well. There is not enough time in my limited "entertainment time" budget to do all the things I want to in Elite, and I doubt I'll ever even fire up the loading screen for that mode.

I can't say that it gives any benefits other than being another one ticked off the list;
Forgive me just throwing in links but I haven't really studied it thus far in any great detail.

I am rated as a dog. :)

And, yes, high-skill players are just a *little* over- represented on the forum. And, yes, they are modest about it, too. :)

IIRC The Van Maanan's lot were a bunch of isolationist, anti-tech, religious nutjobs in Frontier and FFE, who got carried over to E: D.
 
Combat: Expert
Trade: Elite
Explorer: Surveyor

Just reached Elite in trade after 340+ hours played over the course of a year. Exploration is my next goal, just bought a Diamondback Explorer that I've been doing some engineering on to prepare for the journey.
 
At the moment Combat and Trade Élite, exploration Ranger.

I'm planning a trip to Sag. A, passing by jaques, sooner or later, not in an hurry anyway

Edit: took me 7 weeks of actual gameplay over the course of 1 year and some.

I've said it elsewhere but I set myself a personal goal to reach Elite within a year of buying the game, to 're-earn' my Acornsoft badge. I achieved Combat Elite in August 2015 so went for the stretch goal of Triple Elite within a year. I managed it with a week to spare.

I now effectively roleplay as Ryder's dad - I mostly bum about, scavenging for scraps & trying not to die ;)
 
I have no idea. I think I'm about half with with all of them, but I'm not too sure what all the ranks are.


[edit] Lol, CQC elite? Wow, I can't imagine anyone has enough time to sit in match making for this to ever come to pass.

AM half way through Tycoon for trading and 30% to Pioneer for exploration. Have been intentionaly avoiding combat as I get allot of harder NPC's attacking me, and I am just not a great pilot.
 
Trading Elite has to be the easiest. You get points for Sothis missions    .

Some of us had to do it the old way before Robigo, Sothis or the Cutter ever appeared. No doubt it has got a lot easier to make big credits.

I reached Trader Elite during one of the Clue CGs about a week ago, the next one will be Explorer.

Here I was wondering who in their right mind would vote CQC then I spotted this:
There was no option for Lying Elite, so I voted CQC.
The words to describe disappointment, I do not have them.
