I Made a Grave Mistake Along Time Ago

I sold My Only Size 8 Prismatic Shield Gen A long time Ago, thinking ild never need it again. Now my time has come for me to need one. :cry::cry::cry::cry:

I now must go threw the GAUNTLET OF BOREDOM & GRIND once more to obtain what i have foolishly sold all those years ago . Now the only thing i can do is cry on the forums about how bad PP is ( why dose power play even exist its so bad OMG) May the RNG gods have mercy on my voyage, see you in 3 weeks 😓😥😭😢

Grind? What grind?
Pledge. Play the game 4 weeks as is, or play something else. On wednesday, before the server tick, hault 750 contracts to somewhere and a day later you are golden.
I just did the same thing for packhounds. Bought 10 racks, defected and went to bed 🥴

And clismatic shields regenerate like a turtle on roofies. By the time you get a class 8 back on its feet, you'll be having legs yourself 🙃

You need to be at level 3 when you've been pledged for 4 weeks to unlock the shields. If you haul the stuff in week 3, you'll start week 4 at that level.

I thought I did that last time (2 years ago) when I was working for bubble gum princess. I thought I didn't get it then because of the merit devaluation and had to haul another smaller truck load of paper work... not sure though, its been a while.

Yeah, I find I'm having to keep an eye on the timings. Still, we agree on the main point that this isn't a grind. There's wing missions I'd do for this amount of cargo.

It's not really grind, it's just dull.

Sign up, wait 3 weeks, go to any Hudson (I think) controlled system, then do this;
Fly to the nav beacon, but DO NOT drop at it.
Instead, slow down to 30Mm/s and overshoot by about 50km.
When you drop, the only ships that will spawn are PowerPlay ships, usually hostile ones.
Kill them all (kill escorts first or they jump away when the lead dies).
When there's none left, jump to supercruise, and overshoot the nav beacon by 50~km, and repeat until you've killed 25 ships.

Takes about 30 minutes(travel not included to and from the system).
Doesn't cost anything, and you can collect materials. Ignore the PowerPlay bounties.
Far more interesting than the menu leaflet grind.

Well, you do you mate. In those weeks I just continued playing doing all the things I wanted to do, so it was never an issue or felt a grind at all.

Not everyone is the same, im one track minded , i set goals and my ambition never resets, ild like my hard work to amount to something in 3 weeks, not just wait 3 weeks

As I said, be my guest. We have just shown a way to get those shields without grinding. The time wait is unavoidable, in all cases. You can set yourself another goal for that time.
 
In the last few months I've bought Pacifiers, APAs, Hammers and I'm currently working on Prismatics. I've also realised I didn't buy enough Pacifiers so I'll have to redo Hudson. This is what is holding me up from starting my long term plan, which is to move 4 billion of assets out to Colonia. This probably makes me an extreme case, but here is an example that this isn't a game where every goal is manageable in the short term.

Focusing solely on individual targets is like staring into the Abyss in this game.
 
If you stare into the Abyss long enough, it will stare back at you...

I do find pledging, then waiting and getting the merits right before a tick, a bit lame; did PP when I started this game and I quickly realized it was more like a job, something I didn't find fun. So I'll pledge briefly, then get out after buying the item I want.

Atleast you can get this one back with time. I made the mistake with an engineered Size 5 back when you could modify the maximum mass to fit on cutter. Will never be able to replace that shield😢
