Purple Central Industries - Pand solar system group

[Barefoot Bandit]

Looking forward to testing out the beta stuff - it's always tricky balancing actual game progress with messing around testing new goodies, but I think I'll try and divide my time up evenly when I get a chance. I haven't got quite as much time as I'd like to post a the moment, my GF and I are starting a business here (not totally a holiday) and it's taking up valuable posting time!

Anyway, should be able to do some inspiration stuff tonight.

Although it might seem like I'm gone, I'm still around... I'm using the time during this civil war to do some trading to raise credits again, as I was getting close to not be able to cover insurance on the ASP. I haven't forgotten about Pand!

Needless to say, but the civil war is doing more harm than good. The fact that influence is raising so slow might be putting off some newcomers which might have left again already. I hope it's gone soon and we start seeing more activity again. If there is a known way to accelerate the end of the civil war, I'm willing to abort trading and come back to help achieve that.

And about wings, yes, they will be great! I hope we manage to find more common times to meet up to play with the new goodies. I'm lucky I'm seeing pinadelores often online, and we are befriended there, so we always see each other. I'm sure we will able to do some wing stuff together in Pand once 1.2 is out.

I'm looking forward to getting at the Beta and giving the Vulture and Fer-de_lance a good run. Not to mention Wings... They always release cool stuff when I'm on holidays!

Its still going up, but with 19 transits in 24 hours and me being 14 of those, my guess is mid week its just the odd explorer and me and u guys. Weekends are better, you guys may need to keep the group near the top of the list in frontier groups just to get some eyeballs.

Civil war should end in a day or two i spent yesterday killing about 60 anacondas and got lots of juicy little bounties in the war zone. Theres high and low intensity and checkpoints once u get to about 30LS off the planets, i think pand A 1 and 2. Basically any planet without a station on it, get close and look in nav panel youll see em. Once u land in the zone go to the right screen, far left where it has faction, select that and select a faction to fight for. Pand inc or friends of pand. The lot u pick will go green the other lot will go red, they are all system defense vessels ( for the minor faction) now killing 60 NPC anacondas has gotta help unless its bugged but it was a lot of fun youl have about 10-15 red and green, but they will only shoot u once u start shooting one. So pick one the greens are shooting at and just shoot at it.

Pass this info along to the pand group on the main, the warzones might attract some combat pilots.
Today is exploration 6-7 hours and return to pand to turn in data. So wont be there ill be pushing influence and pand PCI database of sytems for the faction

My biggest problem with the civil war, is that it'll en dby the time I have a chance to partake!

Anyway, I'm picking up about 100T of food and coffee, and about 100T of rares, so should be a nice little cargo dump when I get there, I'm also using "economical route" everywhere I go to build up the nav data to sell once I get back to pand.

Dropped off another 30 systems worth of data, had limited play time well 5 hours or so compaed to 12 or so each day. not sure if it has impacted yet or not but i think it ticks over at 1200 gmt so might be up to 96% or so.

Hi all,
Dielos directed me over here. Bit weird for me, as I´m sort of against private groups (PVE in open all the way), but as long as I can mention it, and mention it in Pink, it´s all good with me.
I´ll confess not been in Pand much this week, I´m off trying to get some credits together ready for Wings, but I will be returning, with a load of rares over the weekend,
fly safe

[Barefoot Bandit]

Rares loops are a good fun way to make cash, far more interesting than a regular trade grind, and as a bonus, discovery data!

Hello ollobrains. We might have luck with 1.3!

It's only rumors, but look what Tinman on the ED forums makes out of it...

Once again...it's called "Powerplay".



Interesting.

If he's right, 1.3 might be our update...

[ollobrains]

i havent been on much today have a few days at work now. So unless others are active things might not move much. I came over here because the mods on the offical forums got a little bit over hyperactive and without slapped a ban on me from the frontier forums

Reason given ( to many posts made in bold and in colour) abusing the bold and colour features of the forums..... so i made three posts in pink and 4 posts with some bold writing. I had been a little negative about the lack of dev responses to a few questions but those werent the rasons given, so im here. Oh yeah im all for PVE in open ( unless the silly lag occasionally causes u to go solo, or for those in certain countries solo offers better stability) if the devs can get their netcode right there are a lot of known bugs being reported that seem to be in open onl and dont show in solo so its not a client issue.

Within reason if anyone active in pand can just make a post or two a da about whatever if it be progress, or ideas, or something related to the PCI group just to keep it near the top of the rankings in group over there - we need to keep attention at least semi towards our group so we can grow numbers.

It doesnt matter ehre so much because it only shows in groups , and ppl can find their own way to us as one of the 3 biggest indepdant groups in the elite universe ( lugh and mikunn are the others) - getting a few more ppl in open in our area or just helping out can only help us along.

Business as usual this weekend if you are active up there keep trying to push that influence, sooner or later expansion will pop i just hope the devs fix the bugs to do with expansion of more than 10LY from a nearby system as the nearest to us is 19.5LY in oro
