Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

That is the question. ;) I've had the cash to upgrade my Asp to a Type 7 for a few days now, but I'm balking at the prospect. I think every good trade route I've ever found has been between a station and an outpost. I'm worried that if I have to go station to station, maybe across several systems, o...

I did 7-8 trade runs today and don't recall a single guy getting blown to bits. I wonder if they toned it down in 1.04?

Btw, I've never personally been attacked by a station - I was just commenting on the difference between Alliance and Federation space (in my very limited experience).

I'd recommend an Asp. If your T6 is tricked out, you should get a lot for the trade in (make sure to sell all the upgrades first). You don't have to fully trick out an Asp if you are just trading, which will save quite a bit. The Asp will give you the most cargo capacity and still allow you to trade...

Right now I'm enjoying my recently upgraded Asp with 4x forward firing beam lasers and 2x gimbaled auto-cannon. They will shred a Sidey in one pass and will take down a Viper with shields in two (well, maybe three). I really like the beam gouge marks on the hull, too (it really does a number on thei...

I'm glad you had fun, but the unreasonableness (that appears to be a word) of the system ruins the fun for me. You shouldn't get a bounty unless you do something that deserves the possible punishment of being killed (murder, attempted murder, etc) - you should get a fine. That also goes for some of ...

I started in the Federation and then made my way to Alliance space, and have spent most of my there since. After trading for a while, I went exploring and now I find myself back in the Federation. I can hardly enter or leave a space station these days without some pour sold getting blown to bits, ei...

I thought you were screaming "I hate ...". I don't have a problem with Imperial Slavery and would trade them if I could make a good profit. I don't like the Empire for other reasons. I wouldn't feel right trading with normal slaves, and would free them if it was an option. That being said,...

Although there are NPCs trading at these places, there are no other commanders in the area (including in open play). And I've run dozens of trade tests, and it really feels like a shell game. I'd almost swear that they look at my cargo and then decide the prices. It goes something like this: Cargo: ...

*Wipes away tears* :lol: Cute vid. I'm sure you did it this way for the drama, but you do realize you lost about 300,000cr on that trade-in? I just upgraded to an Asp, a day or two early thanks to commie's trading tips. I think I'll do some more trading, but I feel nervous flying in & out of st...

Thanks for the tips. I tried them and they work. The best I was getting before was 1200cr/t for a 2-jump route. My problem is that trading seems to be rigged. I had one trade, on-paper, that was going to be 2550cr/t, but when I showed up with cargo, I only got about 2070cr/t, and that only lasted a ...
