Someone claims to have reached ELITE status

Find this a bit dubious, it is Twitter after all

How does he get 170 kills an hour? If he was on my account he'd get me up to the next rank in a few hours.

EDIT: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ub67Odt52kUVk9F7RoI5N2PNX5NtL9yddil6bJ7qNA8/edit#gid=0 - apparently, this is how he did it.

That explains it. I was wondering too when I read that killrate.

 

[Spur]

It has to be an impressive to see 202 dead in one hour.

im sorry I do not buy in to this by his own stats he has to kill at least 2.5 ships a minute don't think so some how, smells of cow poop

4 railguns? Dunno.

He obviously targets the Imperial Paper Fighters. Smart man.

Railguns would mean a trip back to the station every few minutes.

Space time or earth time?

He uses Beam Lasers. One of his pics you can see 'Beam Laser'. If he goes with one of the metas, that means that he use 2x Beam Lasers and 2x Multicannons (or Cannons).

EDIT: Nope. No ballistics. He runs with 2x Beams and 2x Pulses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WqMQTgvcJQ

Impressive if he really is Elite and also makes sense in terms of the fact that he has no need to go back to base for ammo.

That means reloading though, so maybe cannons? Or perhaps just 4 lasers.

Very sceptical. I can't see anyone keeping that rate of killing up at a warzone, you would actually run out of targets and be forced to wait for respawns.

 

[Dabba]

To attain that number of kills per hour its highly unlikely that he is using a weapon that requires a station to reload.

I think he meant 4hrs a day sleep.

Yup, 4 lasers. See the video.

EDIT: Actually, watch all his videos (https://www.youtube.com/user/FromtonRouge/videos) and judge for yourself on whether he could be our possible first Elite. And on another note, why hasn't made an announcement on the Forums?

 

[Rall]

The math doesn't work -even if combat bonds where still 1000 per kill, 1812000 divided by 1000 does not equal 8220.

EDIT - He may have a massive amount of unclaimed combat bonds, as he never died.

No insurance claims so he didn't die once

Yup I missed that the first time - editted the post. I will remain sceptical until confirmed by Frontier though.

Aye. Despite my general positive outlook on this, I too am skeptical of this until FD check for exploits and all. I am surprised that he's obtained Elite status so quick, there won't be any others for weeks if not months.

 

[HeavyGroovez]

Looks legit to me.

Camp warzone with beams and shoot 8,200 NPCs.

The ranks are just grind numbers, nothing more.
