Need a ship that flies itself and makes credits while I drink Lavian Brandy

insidah · Jul 13, 2015

I can't be bothered doing anything really, and I don't want to commit myself to anything.
I want to be the best, but don't believe that I have to work for it.

What can I do to achieve Elite status, without even lifting a finger?
(or requesting to launch from my dock)

Do you have any experiences of getting everything and not working for it?
Frontier Development should have a "Start off as a space-brat" mode, where you inherit 200 million credits and a Python.

Buy turrets.

Set them to Fire at Will.

Park in a conflict zone.

Alt-tab until you hear your ship explode.

(for being awesome!)

I've wanted to try this with a python (with some bait gold cargo) in a RES instance which reliably spawns sidewinders adders and vipers. Wouldn't do that in a Conflict Zone because one hostile anaconda will invariably vaporize your ship.

Either way there's just something funny to me about a trap that is perfectly harmless (completely immobile and unmanned ship) that does nothing unless the pirate is greedy and attacks it first.

Alt-Tab?

Sound's too much like hard work ... meh!

Where's my damn time machine?
Why can't I go back in time? Apparently Einsteins theory of relativity states that I could theoretically go back in time...
Anyone got a Sports Almanac I could borrow?

I recently changed the settings in the game from fullscreen to borderless. This is the highlight of my gaming experience in ED.

Will this ship also vote for my choice in a poll on what condiments I prefer? https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=166661

Sign up to a power (rank 1, 1000 CR bonus per week).

Wait 300 weeks.

Your bank account will be full of credits when you log back in.

Play in windowed mode and use a secondary or tertiary monitor on the side so you can occasionally glance towards that game.
