Was travelling around checking if I could spot another CMDR somewhere, when I found myself on Eravate, in Cleve Hub and I just had the greatest idea ever to try Open Play.

The second I come out of the station, someone opens fire on me. And his friend jumps in. And they use silent running, so not much point trying to turn around and try to respond. I kick on the FSD and run out of there, close Open Play and return to Mobius.

So much for that.

Yeah, and some people keep wondering why players decide to go solo or Mobius. A few even try to play the be-man-enough-to-go-Open card. Please, this is a game - it's supposed to be enjoyable.

:shock: Are you trying to buy a space station?

Glad to have back on this side.of Mobius btw :)


Nope... don't need my own space station. I'm quite fond of the staff at Baliunas Hub. ;) I'd love to hire someone to move ships for me and feed me grapes while I rest in a hammock though. :D

The Cutter is a hell of a money maker, Dawg. $10mil or more per hour, no problem. The downside is that after an hour or so, I am bored and ready to do something else.

Drumroll please.......

Goal achieved! I am officially worth a Billion!

Now.... can someone tell me where the "cash out" button is in this game, so I can transfer these funds into my checking account? 8-)


Grats JL :) Now how long have you been in the "Black"? I will be at 550 million come Thursday, nipping at your heels. But to be fair I don't own the ships that you do and I don't know if I ever will as Elite is on a low ebb for me right now.

Dock
Check bulletin board - crap
Check ship for repairs that mysteriously don't appear on the repairs section ( middle panel )
Grab fortification supplies
Set course for some system 12 jumps out because its being undermined big time and all the lazy sots have fortified the system than is 17 lys from HQ to 12,000 %
Undock
Jump, honk, scoop
Approach planet
Approach station
Dock
Unload fortification supplies
Load up on something that sells at HQ ( via Inara )
Undock

Rinse and repeat until I am back to 10,000 merits, then bounty hunt to try to build up cash some more.

Missions are boring, combat is boring, PP is a massive joke set up as it is, I have no clue what Tifu is talking about, no offense meant :P

My home base is a station under ALD control, its allegiance is to the federation on one faction, there are 3 empire factions and 4 independents?
I don't know how that works. If I was in control of the place and it was Black Rose's station then anyone that was not with me is against me and I'd get rid of them. The empire has the power to do that stuff :)

Now I need to load up "Shadows of Mordor" and decapitate some Uruks :)

Congratulations! And I know how you get bored after about an hour, lately I have the same problem, that's how I ended up buying 3 ships the last few days alone. All of them fitted ridiculously too :D

I had a good run in PP today :) Rank 3 by tomorrow & Prismatic shields in a few weeks. Loving my Class 4A FSD drive which drastically cut down my Keelback's travel time. Plus, I got to participate in the greatest prep war in PP history - we"ll know if the 5C or the real AD commanders won in just 24 hours.

I have also noticed that you rank faster the better combat rating you are - with surface mission grinding.... 450k per mission sometimes

Python in no time....

Doing my last rinse-and-repeat credit/rank grinding surface missions now, then returning to Ratting again. Finally ... well, made some 60 million in some days, so that was fine. Now I can take out the Rattaconda without fear of nasty rebuy surprises ...
Also, a new Rattatoon is out.
