It's OK as long as you're frugal with the boost button.
I'm only doing mining so I can say I've done it. It makes trading feel interesting.

Well after trying to break stuff in beta.......I decided to do the beta CG........
Like that worked.......
Not.......
One modified FAS against a wing of 3 or 4 modified ships does not end well......
Ends quickly though......About 10 secs.......
In open........
Would be nice if you had a modicum of a chance......
Not complaining though....Coz it's beta......Lost 2 ships on that......And about 10 just fucking about.....
Still amazingly for me......Love this game......

You forgot to mention that you were playing with a slight handicap old friend.

Ah yes... Lori, with you and I permanently talking in Kharma's ear, it inhibited his ability to drink sufficiently to enable him to hone his combat skills..
(Although 3 or 4 against one seemed to be a little one sided
)

My head hurts......
Just looked at the Vids from last night......
Out of about 3 hours I could possibly publish about 3 seconds.........
The rest we would be right in the shit.......Or rather I would.....

Oh, I got in on all those from prior efforts, just nothing since the weekend when I grinded on them. Now I just need to collect.
After 2 combat runs for no money, I finally figured out I had to join a faction when I entered the combat, not just go to the station and sign up. Sigh ... too many things in this game not documented, not even just with a little text for the first time.

Ok that is nice to know, time to bail on this CG,
now that it took 20 jumps to get my vulture there and scooping at least half of the jumps.

Finishing my Empire rank at HIP 10617 before 2.1 makes bases a clusterfuck.

Hello,
Yeah. That catches a lot of new commanders out. Combat zone CGs work like normal combat zone fighting. You have to select the faction you are fighting for when you enter the combat zone. Luckily I found this out on my 3rd week when I tried one.
Now still scanning the outer edge of the Galaxy. Trying to aim for the star that seems the furthest from the edge of the galactic arm. 18k ly from Azrael another 5k ly to go. Don't think I'll be back to enjoy the cooking recipes of the tinkerers for a few weeks after 2.1 drops.
Hopefully I can either find Raxxal or the secret of the Formidine Rift (they might be the same thing.)
Have fun, fly safe. o7
