Do we have teamspeak or any other mode of voicecomms other than ingame comms? And since I wasn't really able to play seriously or any significant amount of time lately, I will be adding most of you ingame, as much as CMDR names I can scrounge from the forum. (except Xebeth, seems he went working for the deviants based of Achenar) :)

There's the mobius TS, just pick an empty channel or right click on the channel list to create a temporary channel.

I've had a break from ED (got a bit frustrated with the crappy bounty hunting mechanics, I'm flying a Python, I want a decent supply of bigger ships to shoot) but thinking of giving it another look to see if PP provides more interesting gameplay.

I haven't fully read up on PP but I've had a look at the Frontier PP videos and it looks like PP should provide opportunities to blow stuff up, stealing intel also looks interesting (always fancied PVE piracy but it wasn't really viable before).

Are any of you guys on regularly (UK/EU evening times for me) and interested in coop power play? Which power would be best to pick?

Edit:
I just read a couple of pages back, sounds like Hudson is the power to join.
I've updated the game so will dust off my joysticks and jump back in shortly, will also add more names in game from the roster.

Hmmm some of the roster callsigns arent full in game names so I can't really add them, mine is the same as on here though so please feel free to add.

Sabres,

Your CMDR is back! Hope everyone has been well. I had to take a brief absence from the game to focus on some things. I'll be done with my bachelor's degree in under 3 weeks, so hopefully I'll see a lot more of you all as we go forward.

Welcome to our new CMDR's! I'm very glad to see that you're all here, and I've even more glad to see that this forum made a stir even when it was somewhat inactive! I'm excited to meet all of you on Teamspeak, and even more excited to fly with all of you. If you need the mobius teamspeak info, see the link here: http://www.elitepve.com/page/ts If everyone will check the website, I wrote a little news update regarding a few things. Puddin' has a point about CMDR names. The roster, as dumb as this sounds, is more of a decoration thing for the website. It's a way to have your callsign published and a way to show you're a sabre. If everyone who is still active both in Elite and as a sabre would be so kind as to reply to the forum topic I started on the website under introductions. Gonna log on now and play for a bit! See you all out there!

Hi commanders
Just to check in, and to see if we can help each other with some finacial issues this powerplay update brought; as some of you know, best way for combat pilots to earn merits is in military strike zones, which can shell out a hundred merits a day easiliy, but give no credits. While digging around the internet, I found mention that combat bonds have been increased (and bountyhunting income decreased, need to test it), so I tested it a bit last night and this afternoon. It came to about 1mil per hour of combat, regardless of intensity, so the increase (it seems) holds true. Now, if someone can put the combat zones in perspective with powerplay and objectives, that could become a really profitable endeavor, credits for fighting for the subfaction in system, and merits for supporting that faction later on (I'm a bit constrained, gametime-wise, so can't really put it into perspective or track the faction/system movement in the ladders). Any thoughts?
@Turbo: Glad to see you having your way with things :) Looking forward to flying with you.
See you in the black commanders.
Sigma

Edit: income per hour is based on my gameplay, with a mostly A spec vulture. Obviously, larger ships like Pythons and FDLs will have more income, seeing that they can dish out more in a shorter time. (yes you, Black Puddin :) ) But costs for combat bonds are:
Condor 4000, Eagle 8000, Viper 20000, Cobra 18000(16k), ASP 28000, Vulture 36000, FedDropship 44000, Python 56000, Anaconda 72000. All of these are combat zone spec'd NPCs. This is from memory, could be couple of thousands higher/lower for some ships.

Ooh nice that they've buffed CZ, be cool if they put some of them in asteroid fields as well.

I read somewhere that undermining is very effective for your power and for earning merits,especially in wings, gonna see if I can do some tonight if anyone wants to join me.

Tonight.. I'll be online in about 7ish hours, that's about 10pm your time. I think. Hope I catch you online. BTW, got myself a FDL. Without the cannon, still 4 mil short for that.

Edited: time suffix.

Undermining really is great for merits, just not cash. 15 merits per kill. 45 merits per wing of 3 if you can get em all. Just kill the escort ships first. Just remember that it may hurt your rep. Not sure yet. I've farmed about 3k merits by flying to Boreas and killing everything but Winters' ships. She's fed too. Just fly smart and you'll get your merits for sure!

Just spent a couple of hours at a military strike zone trying to win expansion in Te Uira with Commander Sigmar Prime, it was great fun as a wing. There are conflict zones in the system as well so you can switch over if you want a change of pace and earn some cash. Will probably do the same again tomorrow, come join us Sabres!

I just wanted to call on any Sabres that joined Hudson and are willing to powerplay a bit to join us in the Te Uira system, regardless on ship you have. Merits and cash from CZs we share, so it could be a good chance to improve your merit count and financial situation, especially if you have a smaller ship. You know where we are, so if you are interested, drop a post on this forum, well work something out in regards to game hours.
@Puddin: we should check out undermining when military strikes and CZ go out in Te Uira.
@Octavius K Porteus: Since you kindly extended the invitation the other day to slip into the Te Uira system to do some wetwork, we are there and looking for friends. Join up, and lets grind the ranks and cash. :)
@Turbo: You kicked in with Winters? You left winged liberal, you. :D
