I'm trying to figure out just how large (and what shape) the accessible Guardian region is.
That's actually really impressive; I could never do that. The screams of the innocent and helpless for justice compel me to fight.My rules are simple, I don't kill, carry weapons or play in open, period.
I smuggle high paying criminal passengers and illegal rares into Federal and Imperial control stations, while I eliminate PP targets for merits.Anyone can hit Triple Elite if they want to - while it's tedious, it's not particularly hard.
I first hit Elite in Trade purely by accident. I tried VO mining, enjoyed it and brought in a few billion and wham - Elite!
Cool. (Blows on knuckles and rubs them on my shoulder.)
I decided to point my nose at the wider galaxy and set off in my wee li'l DBX Big Bad Nasty Warship and had a glorious few weeks jumping and scanning my way to Elite Explorer. I'm quite proud to say there are a few ETW's with my name in the Codex now.
Combat Elite is arguably the toughest, or at least the grindiest, but I'm well on my way.
To make it more fun, many of us have personal challenges - restrictions, private rules, et cetera - that make one's personal game more enjoyable. I'd like to share them here, if anyone wants.
My personal challenge is decidedly minor, but I like it. I used to fly commercially in real life (fixed wing and helicopter) so I command my ships like I would a real-life aircraft: precise and strict procedures around Class D Space (stations), systems not used powered down, precise use of checklists, etc.
I don't always, and when I don't I run into trouble - such as a recent death when I ran out of fuel when I took a real-life break while the game was running. (Though it can be argued that I was in fact following my procedures by working to avoid contact with pirates...)
What personal challenges do you employ in your personal game?
Cheers!
Game goal.
During the legs beta: Be the first player to walk on the Earth's moon.
Going to Elite in combat may not be what you think. At one time commanders were asking the developers to downgrade their combat rank. The NPC's are geared toward your combat status + next level. You have never seen an NPC nightmare until you hit Elite (or level before it). They are basically indestructible. Now if you have achieved Elite through P&P they may not be a problem for you but a lot of commanders were hitting Elite by killing dumb NPCs in conflict zones. Just saying. Be careful out there. o7Anyone can hit Triple Elite if they want to - while it's tedious, it's not particularly hard.

Starting to think I might also have this goal.Profit.
As simple as that. More credits at the close of play; than I started with.
It is my belief, that this was the original concept of the 84 game.
