I haven't got any notifications on this thread today. I find that a bit unnerving. :-)

For what it's worth, still grinding for Empire rank in Cubeo, and it seemed like the mission board was dry as Death Valley... until I exited the game completely, and went back in. (Then it was at least passable, though not glorious.)

Wondering if there's some weird server-instancing going on there? Like local commanders eating up all my missions?

Hello,
Been running propaganda material for the blue haired one and took a quick look at the Mission boards. To say the missions "suck" is putting it mildly. Went back to doing my trade loop and brain washing. ;)

Have fun, fly safe. o7

Doing the 2 community goals to fight off Emperor's Dawn CG's

Not many doing it at the moment, I am in the top 5 Commanders in each at the moment. Seeing as they are very close to Azrael I have been trying out various ships and load outs and flitting between the 2 CG's

Its actually quite fun. Favourite ship and load out has to be this so far FDL

Hopefully more Commanders will come and help with the fightsoon.

I too am doing the planet missions on Cubeo, which I found just as normal. I only stack 20 or 30 and then go off and shoot the generators. But those Goliaths are hard to kill, to the point I just ignored them when I did the data link. I am yet to do these without escaping with approx 10% hull :) I have no idea how others find these missions so easy. :)

Goliaths are easy to kill with the right weapons. They can wreck me, but only if I give them the chance.

Using a Federal Gunship with 5 dumbfire missile batteries, and two small beam lasers (for its shields). Got the idea from a video that Vindicator Jones made, and it works very well. I usually have the base 100% cleared, land on the pad, scan data, and blast off with full shields in about 5 minutes.

I spend way more time stacking missions, which is why I get angry when the board only shows two missions, both without empire alignment.

I'm murdering 'guilty' people now. Waiting for my galactic bounty timer to expire.

Reading an FD board thread with amazement since FD apparently has put a PLAYER minor faction in charge of Robrigo. Though not for long I fear - people are pissed.

Odd, but how does that effect the smuggling?
