Nah, got interdicted 3 times this morning while fuel scooping, escaped all 3.
By the way, iterdicted is a horrible long word, what's peoples preferred slang?

Intered ?

I got interdicted four times last night, and escaped three of them. The one that got me was a system authority vessel while I was really close to the station, probably got me because I was going really slowly already.

In this case, I don't think "ed" or "ted" is a good replacement for Interdicted.
 
A ping with an ADS takes seconds, maybe a few minutes if you count the time to jump to another system, and can earn thousands, probably average about Cr1,000 per system, maybe a little more. Flying around every body in the system scanning them with DSS probably takes at least twenty times as long, much more for the systems with distant binaries, does it pay out twenty times the amount? Does a middle ground, where you scan the nearby objects only, pay out proportionally?

I'm not saying that this game is only about the cr/hour, of course.

I've not done much in the way of exploring but I think you're scanning it wrong - I wouldn't bother scanning everything with a detailed surface scan, only pertinent stuff!

You should jump to system and do an advanced discovery scan, that will net you on average 1,000Cr. But before you leave, look at the system view for anything that might be in scope to be an Earth like planet, if so you now go and do a detailed scan which will net you another 100,000Cr, if not move on.

There are around 10 billion earth like planets in the milky way you know - for 2000 systems in Elite, I would expect a much higher credit/time ratio than you mentioned.

Cheers,
James

you should work to give balance between the various activities, I speak of the profits made.
if you want to make money trading is the only solution

Though this is true, I would point out that playing fighter jet and bountyhunting/pirating is fun, where as spacetrucking is much less so, so thus you get more cash as it is more boring ;)

Has the galaxy core being fixed? I feel like embarking on the trip to sagittarius a and wanted to know if this is now safe for the saves
 
I guess it depends on how often the servers moves a "tick".

Personally I hope it takes longer to shift the powerbalance of a system than just a couple of hours. IMO it should at least take a day before a change is seen. Maybe even 2-3 days...otherwise it will be hard to take part in conflicts unless you have time to play the game every single day.

I wouldn't call 0.1% influence change per day "shifting power balance". I would'n like to see massive changes every day and Imperial Sol after a week or two. I'd like to see ANY change AT ALL. And it certainly did change first few days after release, also in Gamma, i suppose. So it's not working for sure.
 
Still no server update changelog? Tells stories about how reliable information is that you get here. Isnt the first time they dont live up to their words.

About time this was done! I've got no idea what it is but it sounds important! :)

I tend to ignore the 'Rocky' and 'Icy' type planets and stick with those that look like Gas Giants, big stars (can scan them from a much greater distance) and earth like planets. Scanning absolutely everything doesn't appear to do you any favours in terms of cash received - maybe it should.

In this case, I don't think "ed" or "ted" is a good replacement for Interdicted.

So what does the literature say?

I've read John Harper's "And Here The Wheel" - it's not covered in that book, and am currently reading Drew Wagar's "Reclamation" - not really mentioned there either. Wagar does talk about "spacing" people, though: that is, blasting their ships and thereby killing them by exposing them to the vacuum (Cool! /Bart Simpson). But nothing further. Brilliant book so far though...
Allen Stroud's "Lave: Revolution" is next :)

Sorry, veered off course a bit there.

:)
 
I now experience since the update small yerks/roll movements on my joystick (while i am not touching it)
Had that yesterday just after the update and again today.
Anybody else experiencing this....

...and about bloody time!! That one's been bugging me since day 1. I almost asked for a refund. I ALMOST WROTE TO POINTS OF VIEW.

(seriously, I have no idea what it even means).
 
Not to keep harping on about it, but the systems surrounding where Ditibi used to be are still showing it in the imports/exports list, and it's still 70 Ly away. I don't wanna have to resort to putting in a support ticket to get an answer about it, as I'm sure the support guys are busy enough. I just wanna know if it's gonna stay like that :S
