Hardest Grind Ever

[d8veh]

5 months of killing pirates every night to get the 50,000 I needed to get from position 10 to no.1. It takes a special constitution to achieve things like this. Thankfully, this is one of the few activities in the game that can't be achieved by scripts., unlike mining, carrying passengers, trading, travelling, etc., and I can't think of any way that any other sorts of cheats would help because the main limiting factor is the spawn rate, and you don't need to cheat to keep up with it. AFK 10s are too slow and would have taken mnore than a year, but they've been confounded by the wings of high rank ships that drop in from time to time that would make short work of a T10 with only turreted lasers.

During the time of the project, I learnt everything about NPC behaviour. Now I can kill pirates while watching Netflix.

What was the point? I'm bored with the game and just wanted something to do, while I wait for NMS updates and expeditions. Don't give me a medal because I don't have a chest to put it on. All you haters can have a field day.

P.s. The game's dead.

 

[metatheurgist]

Yeah, but how can you be sure you're number 1 when I'm not on inara.

 

[Dillon Fallon]

So you focused on one activity to the point of doing it more than any other player has been recorded and now you want a break?

I mean yeah, makes sense. I'd never want to touch the game again either if I did what you did.

[VR andysonofbob]

That's impressive dedication.

I managed 50,001 in the same time frame though.

 

[Biff Stryker]

I was the 2nd grade spelling bee champion in school, so I can totally relate to OP's achievement.

P.s. The game's dead.

Says the guy that was so obsessed with it he played non-stop for 5 months to become number 1 by a slim margin in only 1 out of 10 categories.

Sounds legit.

 

[Rat Catcher]

I killed a pirate once, I remember it clearly...

 

[d8veh]

Thanks

Thanks for letting us know.

Thanks for letting me know that your thankful.

That's not enough becaause I have actually gone a lot further without updating Inara. Plus, what Inara shows lags behind the game stats.

Thanks for playing the game with us these past five months, and glad you found something you enjoyed doing all that time

Seems like a lot of effort to tell us he didn't use cheats this time.

Of course if he actually wants combat I'm sure Musketeer is waiting for him in CQC.

It's special, alright...

During the time of the project, I learnt everything about NPC behaviour. Now I can kill pirates while watching Netflix.

I don't think many of us were struggling with killing pirates, and I doubt you really needed the last 49,500 kills to learn 'everything about NPC behaviour' but sure.

 

[Northpin]

Is the OP serious or did you just forget the irony tag?

both.
op is triple elite on all 3 platforms and did invest a lot of time in Elite

 

[Chaparral]

I can essentially turn my brain off and muscle memory through pirate fights in res zones, but it is relaxing - like solitaire or tetris.

You get into a Csikszentmihaly flow state and time just disappears.

Maybe this is why I get frustrated with EDO FPS, too much interrupted times between combat cycles? Cant get my flow juice fix.

Wouldn't say the game is dead, it's just flowing.
