Hi Commanders, I need your help… I need some inspiration.
Let me kick off by saying I love this game!!! I was a little too young to play the original but I watched my big brothers playing it for hours - pilot & co-pilot style. I really got into Frontier, but never really played FFE – Last gaming I did was Mario Kart & Goldeneye on the N64…nothing since…Then this hit kickstarter and I started to count the days… Built a PC purely for Elite and started playing around Feb – My wife isn’t really sure what has happened to me since!
Most of my time has been in Solo, but occasionally I drop into Open for a bit of excitement. I have worked my way up to Post Commander (a truly glorious moment when I saw that final progression mission appear on the bulletin board). I have made a wad of credits in conflict zones and NAV points. I have put in a big chunk of time grinding the trade routes where I have made most of my credits.
I have some ideas about what to do next… the following are all options:
Oh so many options….
So what is stopping me? Firstly I am stuck on a trade route that is netting me 3-4 million per hour and I keep thinking “let me grind a little more to be ready for the Federal Corvette” (currently total assets are 180m credits)…. Secondly I just can’t make up my mind as to what next….
Help me out; nudge me in a particular direction; bring me and my Python into whatever plot you have simmering away; join me in making bucket-loads of credits in a trade wing.
Lend me some inspiration. Please.

I have some ideas about what to do next… the following are all options:
- As a backer I have named a system in the back end of nowhere, I’m keen on getting the small Federal faction to topple the existing independent government there – and eventually expanding out to the equally backward nearby systems…
- I would be well up for winging up with some other commanders for shenanigans, anything from a trade wing to helping topple some scumbag governments
- I would love to take some newbs under my wing, help them make some credits.
- Build up some P2P experience by become the scourge of gankers and griefers or hunting big bounty with some wing men.
- Get an Anaconda and fit it out as a trader and grind away for a while.
- Equip an Asp for exploring and head out into the deep black for the first time.
- I’ve been “Deadly” for a few weeks now, I could do some hardcore conflict zoning to get to “Elite”.
Oh so many options….
