You V The Weekend: Tell us Everything now and a weekend challenge

Welcome CMDR's,

Congratulations on making through another week of forum and game life, time to relax as the weekend arrives and most of us get to have extended playtime... But what are you going to do?

Do you have a goal that you've been working towards? What is it and why, how far along are you in your endeavours? Tell us all now – Or face the wrath of, erm, Jenner for a change.

Have you felt stuck in a rut doing the same things? If so then take a look below at what others have planned an be inspired to challenge yourself!

Speaking of challenge, this weekend I have a special challenge for all of you, one that will require all you're skills... More later.


The Plan.
Explorer's – Where are you and where do you want to be?
Bounty Hunters – Who's your mark and how much do you expect to make?
Pirates – Any good CG's on for you to 'help' achieve it's goals... or not?
Traders – How much is your favourite route worth per hour – you don't have to give us the route just the cash figure
Everyone – What are you're plans for this weekend? Tell us now or it may get messy!
Mods - Why not tell us your in-game names and build you're friends list?

You know the drill by now folks, leave nothing out, give us all the juicy details and of course have fun and keep it clean even if you are hauling Bio-waste.


The Challenge.
This week I've decided to bring back The Challenge but with a twist – No killing required, just research and good old hunting...

Find and screenshot a mod in game.

You are going to have to try and find out their in-game names in order to find them. Maybe you already have some on your friends list making it easier to hunt them down or can you get them to reveal their location through asking them here on the forums?

Rules for entry.
No photo shop's
No mods allowed to enter
No members of Frontier staff
First screen shot posted that is verified wins

The Prize.
You get to say you won until it becomes annoying or the mod you screen grabbed bans you for life!


That's all there is for this week CMDR's, whatever you are doing I hope you all have fun both in-game and real life.


Bran.


My plans?
Well last night I plotted a 970ly course which will leave me 2,400ly from Sag A. The route worked out at 728 jumps which is now down to 597 (I am Eco-jumping at the moment) so I intend to make a dent into that. Found two Earth likes in adjacent systems last night just 1.9ly distance from each other and I spent time wondering what their futures would be like if each develops a space faring race around the same time. I'll be hoping for more of those and other interesting sights too!
 
For the weekend, this

I make a nice turnover on fruit and vegetables.

This weekend I'm going to look into getting some light engineering done on my Cobra.

Hopefully ready for the next trade CG.
 
on my main account i will be travelling further towards Phi Cassiopeiae via V509 Cassiopeiae, Mu Cephei and 6 Cassiopeiae. I'm doing roughly 1000-1500 ly per day on that account, so i should make it to Phi cassiopeia by sunday.

on my tertiary account i don't know yet. either a minor faction needs me, so i will run missions with my cobra. or i'll trade the yesterday liberated rare "16 lyrae weed". or i'll check into small ship mining. or i'll find out that small ship mining isn't for me, and run some passenger missions to finance a cheap mining AspE.

totally enjoy switching between the two accounts.

I am still very new to the game so my goals are all still pretty modest at the moment. I have finally finished upgrading my DBX to a reasonable degree (not engineered yet but otherwise optimised for jumping / exploration) and will shortly be departing on my second trip beyond the bubble (the first was just to Pleiades and back to pick up some Meta-Alloys for Felicity Farseer). This time round I will be making my way to the California Nebula, then across to the Witch Head Nebula, then back home again. Not a huge distance, but far enough for my first serious trip I think.
 
Classified Scan Databanks. They are eluding me. I've been jumping in and out of Distribution Centres for the last day or so, scanning Type-9's and haven't had any luck yet.

Starting to become irksome. Is there a knack to this I don't know about?


Edit: Well, apparently the knack is to post that they're eluding you, because I just got six of them (two sets of three) off one ship!


So...Ram Tah it is then.

Look at my post #3. Every base gives CSDB. I'm throwing them by the buckets - but CIF and MEF are sparse in this turn.

Got the T9 last night...now I know what flying a concrete breeze block feels like. Not sure why I thought making an exploraT9 was such a wonderful idea...probably because nobody else does it and I like being different. After me first flight, I now understand why nobody does it.

However...I have that sorta nature that Ill push on through and do it anyway just to be contrary so...back to ganktown to see the casino mechanics to see if I can improve the T9 lot. I hate that place...I mean I really hate it and really dont wanna be in it at all but no choice unless Im happy with the handling of a brick with a paper parachute and a whopping 12ly range.

Think Ill just go back to solo till its done...last time I was forced back to that hateful place, I gave up playing entirely fer 3 months. Yep I really do despise the bubble that much. And this community...starting to wear me down as is. Getting fed up with a humorless forum who just wanna put every idea down, good and bad whilst in the echo chamber of being ignored by those we really need to have a word with. Im ranting...Ill stop.

Ill sidestep the challenge bran. Fer one thing I still have no clue how to post screenshots from the xbone to here, and the other thing being is they mods ergo they are literally the enemy fer me who close down all the fun threads and hand out infractions every other day, sometimes fer the most inane reasons.

Im not in an overly good mood today ^
 
Maybe I will finally force myself to take off from the Thargoid base and find some of those damn Unknown Artefacts so I'll finally see what's behind those doors!

HIP 14479. Last planet in the system, the only one with rings. Fly around the rings and look for USSs of type 'Anomaly'. They turn up quite quickly in my experience. It's where I got all the Unknown Fragments for Palin.

I went to one of the alien crash sites (the one with the Majestic class). First time, security destroyed me (I guess because I was too close to the capital ship). The second time I actually landed, and no UAs to be found) :(
 
Grinding Imperial rank trying (desperately) to get needed rank for a Cutter. Trying a new spot this weekend.
Was going to do the Ram Tah mission but now that the reward has been cut in half it is on the shelf marked "Maybe/Never."
 
As per usual, I'm at work. Lol

But Monday is my 'me' day. I will likely continue working towards my Federation rank in a non grindy, but most effective way possible. Currently doing passengers/tourism missions.

But I keep getting to itch to go explore the outer rim of the galaxy. I just haven't decided what ship to take....

I did a 750 (ish) stop exploration trip in my un-engineered T9 just for the heck of it and had a blast. Biggest Fuel Scoop I could fit, 4 slot Planetary Hanger, Advanced Discovery and Detailed scanners, whopping great shield generator as I wasn't that far from the Bubble, it was great.

I hope you have fun with yours.

Sorry about your mood, hopefully it being POETS day will help.

Flay safe.

Its the date...21st july...has some relevance in real life I wont share. Call it an anniversary if ye will.

Im unengineered right now but in colonia so cant even source A rate stuff, and 12ly range...theres insane and stupid and I like to think I sit in between those two extremes. Anyway, hearts not in it what with the ongoing galactic beige colour scheme someone thought would be a great idea, so considering the casino in the bubble to waste another month or two...dont wanna ruin my second trip to sag A as it stands right now.

I actually really love the look of the T9...doesnt look like a door wedge like about half the other ships in the game look like, and enough ink to run the printer 60 times...nirvana. Thats useful considering my newfound love of canyon racing...Im not very good so 60 accidents are better than just 6 in the keelback ^

(Wilson, my silent Cockpit companion, is enjoying the light just as well)

Having crossed the Gap between spiral arms, the plan is to keep pushing forward.
All while maintaining the pristine Scanning discipline, which so far is upheld to a 100% :)
