Played since Beta and just got my first ever Elite

[Serpentis Ictis]

In my shame, I never got promoted to Elite in Elite 2.

I've been Elite Dangerous since Beta and got my first ever promotion to Elite (Exploration). I'm quite pleased with myself and i'm really not far from triple Elite.

Balanced game-play, not grinding, and forging my own path and I still love this game!

Can't wait for Odyssey!!

I only get a few hours a week on average to play - so no time to grind!!

Right on Commander

 

[avow555]

Well done.

I’ve also been playing since Premium Beta, and although I’ve been Elite in Exploration & Trade for a while now I can see you’re about 20% ahead of me in Combat

I also share the slight shame of not making Elite in FE2 back in the day but I’m only a few weeks away from rectifying that, same as I did for original-flavour Elite last year

As has already been said: Right On Commander!

 

[Zac Cocken]

Congrats Commander!

 

[Ozric]

Right on Commander!

Congratulations! My first Elite was in combat(after three years of playing since Beta) and I was pushing hard for it. I accidentally pulled two three ship wings (they were right next to each other in scan order and I wasn't paying attention). In the middle of a fight for my life I achieved Elite, but felt pretty darned stupid at the time.

Congrats! I only started combat with the recent buff to the combat payouts, and I am currently at Novice, 14% I think, it may take me years to catch your combat rank.

Excellent Cmdr, always a good feeling.

Slow and steady wins the race.

I value the rank of Elite more for those players who didn't make the mistake of grinding for it like I did for Trade and Exploration, I will do it properly for Combat to honour those who forge their own path, like you.

Well done sir

GRIND is underrated.

Congrats, you always remember your first one.

 

[Hooplah]

Well done. No I didn't see you making Elite in the past but love you are still playing the game.

 

[Cobra_SKY]

Congrats Commander! Well done!

Edit: Make sure to update your inara signature

balanced gameplay is not a requirement. i'll probably never make trader elite, i have serious doubts about explorer elite, and i'm still having fun and love this game. the secret is proper dosage, vr and not having let the little child within die.

Can't wait for Odyssey!!

good for you. for me odyssey is 'yet-another-daft-idea-i'll-have-to-patiently-wait-out-until-something-real-drops', but i'm (very!) used to it already and having fun anyways.

congratulations for your promotion!

 

[LifesAJourney]

Congrats, OP! That's how this game shows its best! Every rank can be done sooner or later by just forging your own way.

What kind of sorcery is this?!

Congratulations ! Cmdr

Now you must become Elite in FE2
