Still stuck in 100%... how do I get promoted?


Some times it take's a log off and going back in to the game again if you have literally just reached the level. If it's rank progression then a mission should pop up at some point. Often more than one mission will appear so if you are patient you can choose a mission type that suits you i.e. deliver cargo, kill a particular target etc.

Returned from Jaques, had the mandatory look at the alien wreck, used the exploration data to improve my relation with various minor factions and get some system permits, and found a really useful bug: If you drive your SRV into a settlement and request boarding, your ship is teleported into the settlement.

I only tried this inside Azrael by docking at Rafferty's Mobius and then landing outside Searle Port, but I see no reason why this should not work over larger distances.

So if you have a smuggling mission to a planetary base that really must not fail, land 10 km or so outside the port, drive in, request boarding, and your ship and the smuggled goods should be there :evil:

I cannot test this at the moment since I am also on GNE to have some company on the first leg of my journey to Beagle Point.

Working myself through the Rift. Lots of 'interesting' things out here.
I'm assuming a planet not having the same atmospheric composition as it's type is just an odd rarity and nothing to get 'excited' over. Other than the planet is clearly confused.
Also found my first planet with neon in the atmosphere.
How long as surface pressure been in the 'stats' page? I feel like that's newer which could be an indication that atmospheric landings is being actively worked on and might be in the next season of stuff.

Shining and polishing the rest of the fleet with Eng upgrades.
FSD then shields and weapons.

Might have a Sothis day off first.

Just bought the Cutter and have been trying it out. I like the extra cargo space. I was expecting it to be a beast to fly but it's not bad really. The extra creds are nice and helped to finally make it to Elite.

After getting the Jameson permit yesterday, I decided to make it my home base. I noticed that there was a conflict zone in the next system so I'm planning on checking it out today.

Shield breaker mines, but also hitting myself ...

Postby thebs » Tue Sep 06, 2016 4:56 pm

Well, I've upgraded to Class 6A Shields w/Level 4 improvements. With the four (4) Shield Booster 0A w/Level 3 improvements, I'm now at nearly 1,700MJ.

I also crafted some Level 4 Mine Racks for both my 2x Class 1 and my 1x Class 2, improving my quantity significantly. I also rolled a Shield Breaker quirk for my Class 2, which is instigating a troublesome scenario.

I have to roll my Anaconda to throw off my Class 2 mine. If I time it wrong, I hit myself. I didn't mind it as much when it was just a normal mine, and I'd fail to roll perfectly in 1 or 2 cases, of kicking out 20-30. But now, it's hurting my Shield Generator when I do.

In one case, my Shield Generator only had 8%. Yikes! I mean, I'm at 2 full rings, and a partial 3rd, but I hit myself twice, and I was down to 8% or so. In another case of combat (after repairing), it was 25% after a pair hit.

It's almost not worth the quirk. Just cannot seem to have any Class 2 mine launcher on the Anaconda.
