Glad to help. By the way, we are focusing on increasing our influence in Exoice right now. If you could run missions out of MacMillan station there, it would be greatly appreciated. :)


Okay will do may as use the cutter for a few hours.

We don't even know if they will require materials even. NO ONE at frontier has said so.
So why are people going nuts for it ?


Peeps are going nuts? I just happened to notice they were added while looking at the engineering components in Inara and since I was planning on a run out to see what all the hubbub was about at the thargoid bases, I figgered I'd grab em while I was in the area. No big deal, only took 2-3 hours to pick up 24 of each.

Just made my first serious exploration trip out to see some Nebula's, ending at the Eagle Nebula about 7,000ly from my starting point.

During the trip out I discovered some new worlds and collected pages of exploration data.

Now it's time to make my way back so I can sell all that data and work on unlocking Qwent, then Palin, so I get those corrosive resistant cargo racks and get inside those new Alien bases :-)

The exploration data will be quite useful here, as you can use it to level up Martuuk to get the contact to Qwent, to become allied with Sirius Cooperation for the Sirius system permit, to level up with Professor Palin, and and and

I got back from BP with some 200-300 million in exploration, and found good use for all of it.

my little excursion just came to an abrupt end...
The destination is HEN 2-23. Turns out the destination can only be reached with an Anaconda with extra fuel tanks, because the star is so high up above the galactic plane, you need to get into a neutron highway with fery few scoops in the way.
With my ASP, at almost 51ly range, and enough for a few FSD injections , i can't get anywhere closer than 400 LY from the destination...

It's a bit like those missions that don't tell you you need a SRV..

So yea, the place looked promising... WR star wind nebula all that jazz.. Time to head back home =_=

Yup, Comet is exactly right. For your current focus of gaining combat rank, going to a CNB and seeking out Deadly and Elite NPC's to kill is your best bet.


Thank you both for the help, if I had known about the CNB's I'd be Elite a long time ago. Took me only a few hours to get the last 11% in my FDL killing only Elite & Deadly enemies. For anyone else who have read countless threads about how to get the most amount of points towards combat ranks that includes enemy ranks, enemy ships, your ship etc. Ignore it all and only focus on enemy rank. And ofcorse CNB seems to be THE place for em. Cheers again o7
