Question, how many players can honestly say they have become Elite or better without having logged in a single hour of Solo play? Just to be clear I have not, its just a question for some research I am doing. o7 fly safe
Making Elite
- Thread starter CMDR-ss47ply
- Start date
I haven't but came close--my estimate for the time I got my Trade Elite was over 99% in open. I pretty much never touched solo from launch to about 2017, and got Elite Trade in mid 2017 if I recall correctly. Still don't use solo much at all--if anything, I've used private groups a bit prior to 2018, and since quite a bit.
I spent most of my time outside of popular areas. Today, I see maybe 1-4 commanders a week where I am in Open, so it's not that different from solo other than the very occasional "o7 cmdr" exchange.

I've played plenty in Open, and overwhelmingly mostly in a Private Group. I cannot recollect playing in Solo at all, but in the time since release I may have. Especially considering busy CZ's/RES can get during CGs. A solo RES/CZ is the absolute solution to 'Kill Stealing'. I have reached Elite in combat.
Technically no, but only because it was far easier to misclick in the old start menu. I don't have combat Elite yet, because that takes a lot of NPCs and I'm bored of farming them, but I have the other three.
On my alt account I tried playing exclusively in open and attained double elite (trade and exploration) in less than 2 months. The only times I was in solo was to switch at outposts and engineers after getting the "docking request denied, docking request denied". Also, switched to solo after getting ganked when trying to land at Jameson when there was a literal sea of hollow rectangles and triangles and after getting ganked at one of the engineers. Both times I was in my DBX and I just wanted to land and get on with what I was trying to accomplish.
o7 thank you
I am getting super close to exploration Elite and I have not played Solo. Mobius, yes. Only because I really disliked being jumped by three knuckleheads at a time just for giggles when I first got a Cobra III. After killing me twice and taunting me to come and play, I decided to take my ball and go play in another park. I have not gone back to Open since 2016.
