Looking to Become Combat Elite with the new C&P?

Greetings,

It is not all that hard. Find an Anarchy system in Civil War or worse with low and high Conflict Zones. Select a side in the CZ and blast away. I've been doing it collecting Combat Bonds for each kill. Turn them in and the faction rep never changes (from my many kills so far) so fire away! Your combat Elite percentage improves (less being promoted per the current latest update bug). If one feels guilty feel free to help out a faction. It only changes if one completes missions for them. Thank goodness for Anarchy systems with the new C&P so we don't get a criminal rating in another system.

BUNDA is currently where many advance their Elite combat rating and is only 10.15 LY away from Shinrarta Dezhra and Jameson Memorial if a player has obtained one of the three Elite ratings offering a 10 percent discount on ships and equipment. There are other systems nearby if one needs a specific item.

Players looking to upgrade their ships have Material Traders at Heveri and LFT 926 covering the manufactured items and Beronii for raw materials one could collect in an SRV on a planet. No need to search for hours looking for a specific commodity.

Figuring this out took time, patience, skills and experience playing this silly game. Some replies will be it is an exploit because they don't have the talent, experience or desire to simply play the game and come up solutions per their current game play. Sometimes I think that they spend more time on the Forum complaining than actually playing the game.

I might also suggest don't play in Open but in groups or Solo as griefers know this all to well. Still I'll go to Open or Mobius and see you in BUNDA and let's play! :)

Regards

Get yourself a fat FDL and go kill Targoid Scouts.

Also, there is no more Bunda. It fell to Feds yesterday.

Darn, you are right as there are no more CZs in the BUNDA system. Looks like Bunda Bridge & Co won for the Federation. Darn I'll have to find another one.

I have a fat FDL old school but loving engineering my Chieftain taking out every ship that I target. Even go into an Anarchy USS with 5 against 1 but with the speed and engineered weapons I can pick them off and smile without the heat limitations of an FDL. Maybe it is the 30LY jump range on an armoured combat Chieftain that currently attracts me...

Just get yourself a fat (and I mean FAT) FDL and go kill Thargoid Scouts. Each counts as Elite-ranked NPC, probably even more - but they are much easier and faster to kill. Especially in a FAT FDL.

Makes no difference at all whether it's anarchy or not for CZ.

Where anarchy helps is in a compromised Nav Beacon. Then you can blast away at everything, without worrying about legality.

Maybe you are right but I disagree with other posts where they went to a CZ and had bounties against them locking them out of the local station to collect and huge bounties to pay off. Maybe they were wrong being inexperienced in the game but I'm not going to test it. Nor do I play the same game as them being mostly a trader.

MEANWHILE another Anarchy system with conflict zones! It took me 10 minutes to find it. EJAGALKI in Civil War. 70.94 LY from Shinrata Dezhra and Jameson Memorial. Darn I'm good! Let's go play there until the Devs resolve all the issues with the latest update! Looking for hollow squares or triangles my radar. I usually fly in Mobius PVE group with friends but I can do awhile in Open to see who shows up.

Note that this is the kind of positive communications providing information this Forum should be all about. But it was all about the rebuy sudden death so never tell anyone how to get better at the game unless they take you out later using your experience against you. Personally Frontier messed up with this but just my opinion. Still given all the negative posts I'm still optimistic.

Interesting that I'm not getting any combat bonds taking out ships in a high CZ but the Elite combat percentage status is increasing.

Probably. All ships in CZs resolve as lawless so you are free to shoot them, anarchy or not.

In another Anarchy high CZ system I got paid for each kill. In this current one I don't. For now I'll write it up us as another glitch in the latest update. I took on an Elite Anaconda dropping him to zero with my Chieftain down to 14 percent hull before I bugged out. Another glitch in the latest update.

Just got a message per the servers are going down in 15 minutes. Then we'll see what they fixed...
