Re: What are you doing (ingame) now?

After my "Visited systems" counter hit 6100 (almost 3000 on this trip alone), I decided to slowly turn back and start jumping towards the bubble. I'm still 15k lys out, but if this run doesn't bring me the Elite rank in exploration - i'm gonna pancake my asp into the nearest star and never...

Re: Got Bitten by the bug.

Sadly I use a gaming controller to fly. As I wasn't able to correctly learn and control with a mouse and keyboard. I tried really I did. But I just didn't have the dexterity. So do I! But there are lots of keys you don't use while exploring. For example - no weapons. Bind a secondary shoot button t...

Re: Got Bitten by the bug.

To more seasoned explorers, this post will be maybe abit of a lark. Onwards we go. But I think...I'll avoid the rest of the black hole systems for now...one might be enough. I don't know if my nerves can take anymore. Just bind a key for full stop and hit it the second you start jumping - you will ...

Make sure to bind a key to "0% speed" and hit it as soon as you start jumping. Also - This

Re: Got Bitten by the bug.

Also - if you're in a neutron field - you'll be better off just jumping forward and scanning new stars instead of wasting 10min on scanning that gas giant worth a few thousand credits. But yea - I usually scan everything within 800-900Ls if it's a gas giant, water world or earth-like. If it's not, i...

Re: "Hey little Cobra"

Cobras are awesome starter ships. There's nothing a cobra can't do. I got my first million in a Cobra mk3 and I made another 60mil by smuggling tons and tons of stuff to afford the python. Here's a screenshot from my first exploration run around the bubble http://i.imgur.com/H0I3bObl.jpg
