yeah those things at the planetary thargoids sites, those aren't scouts those are drones or scavengers. scouts look like tiny UFO things that fly around in like the ax combat zones. maybe that's where you messed up.
If you need trophies to signify your accomplishments you haven't accomplished anything. also I feel like your goals are really low everybody can get triple elite. it's part of the game play. I got a first place combat trophy and a third-place xeno combat trophy. not everyone gets those, aim higher

Yeah... but you kill 6 scavengers every 6 secs. You hover over the respawn base with dumb fire missiles. 4 spawn spots. In a Vulture with 2 engineered dumb fire racks you fly above each one firing as you go. or you can hover over just one at the right height and they will spawn every 6 seconds, once you kill all 6 that have spawn. So thats 24 kills every 20 secs if you hit all the spawns. Thats a little more than the 100 the OP said he did in a couple of hours. Still works as far as I'm aware. #
KNock yourself out
If you need me to make a video i guess I can, but once that gets posted fdev will quickly nurf it
To be fair I just sat above the same spawn in my ASP firing dump fires and then relogging when debris from all the killed scavengers stops the blast radius of the dumb fires. Others prefer to fly above each spawn which is quicker but you need to fly well. The motherships have 4 spawn sites on the inner bit. Kill them as they spawn. if you get too close to the spawn site they stop spawning. Find the sweet spot.
you need to kill scouts not scavengers.
....and you need to kill THOUSANDS not hundreds. just from deadly to Elite is over 1000 scout kills or MORE other ships. Each scout kill counts as 1 elite kill. It's the most efficient way because EVERY scout kill counts as elite and their spawn rate is high and consistent.
but now that the goids have been removed from the bubble....this may be gone for the moment.
I don't know if I would recommend it. it's probably the most grindy thing I've ever done in this game. Put me off combat for months. I STILL don't do much combat since that grind.

That's it. Thargoids are gonne because you lot cheated your ranks up with them.
Incorrect. Killing 24 scavengers every 20 secs give you 1% elite rank at deadly every 5mins. this is much much faster than going after scouts.
Secondly anyone can do the scavenger dumb fire killing as they dont shoot back, you can do it in sidey from harmless to elite if you want.
Final tip, head to the material broker and fill up on the synth needed for the dumb fires... you will never need to rearm.
huh....i didn't know.....thanks! too bad I alreqdy hit the triple E though.
i came here thinking there would be a reference to Royston Vasey and the existence of Swansea, needless to say i left disappointed
I only have a third place xeno defence trophy for the same reason. Had I known at the time, I'd have 2 first places lol
Why do I feel like this is the guy the op is calling a liar?
Well at least you've filled up your scavenger materials. They should last you a while.
I have pointed out this Squadron Leader Board and Combat Elite exploit every time the Squadron Leader Board Winners thread is posted and on the down to earth vid about "how to get elite combat quick".
So yeah, SRV killing scavengers not the way go.
Lots and lots of dumb fire is the way to go.
And yes i want this exploit fixed for both the leader board and as a quick way to get elite combat so if fdev does decide to fix it, please, pretty please, fix it for both.
Hey bro I'm not accusing you of lying or necessarily think you lied or actually give that much of a about it. I was just saying , based on your post compared to the op, it looked like he was talking about you. My bad if I offended you with that it wasn't my intention
It was him.
Killing scavengers is worthless.
Unless they only count when you are in a ship.
I think he means something else, not the scavengers that lurk at the active Thargoid sites.
He means killing scavengers from your ship using dumb missiles, hence why he also said they can't shoot back or can't penetrate your ship's shields.
If you are still in or near Pleiades nebula, do you want to try it again and report back?
I don't know about any of the thargoid sites cuz I haven't been to any of surface sites but I know killing each scout counts as an elite pilot
