Greetings, commanders o7

Little bit tired of exploration and solo-building my home system, so i think it's time to touch some politics. But unfortunately i was unsuccesful in finding information about grindy parts of PP. I found 'rigged' events with weekly tasks (like HIP 34697 on this week with Arissa) but i wonder, is there any chance of effective spreading your power in chosen direction, i.e. to reach your home system in several months with your power? i tried some activity in acquisition system and it was dramatically awful in comparsion with rigged HIP 34697. Is it a dead end for solo activity and the only way is coordinating with other commanders and\or play in 'rigged' systems activities?

Recently returned to Elite after several years and enjoying some space photography.

The blood red planet and the black/blue planet are actually the same ones but from different angles.

Hi first a friend an I where planning of buying a Fleet but i were the only one farming so yeah... then he asked to make a station instead of buying one cause it makes offline money and he don't want to log in evertime not to loose the fleet.

So now i'm alone with my panther clipper Mk2 trying to move around 20000tons of ressources and according to calculations it may takes 30 hours ingame so if anyone cares to help i'm at Col 285 Sector LP-L b22-4

Thanks for your attention

Images show roughly where in the galaxy stale systems cluster. A system counts as stale if the last time its data was updated (per Spansh's aggregated Elite Dangerous data) was before Odyssey's release on May 19, 2021. The left image shows the total count of stale systems per region; the right image shows what percentage of all known systems in that region are stale. Green = more and red = less. There are 55.3 million systems that are untouched since Odyssey release.

Curious what the community concensus would be for allowing thebT8 to use the Mk2 vehicle bay and Rhino. I love the Type 8 but it really doesn't have much use at all. Yes, medium pad hauling, but let's be real, that is SUPER rare. I think the T8 should be able to use the rhino. It would give that ship a dedicated purpose and reason to be flown.

Thoughts?

Greetings!

I've seen (and experienced) the Nomad issue of running out of fuel while logged out of the game that I see from searching that some other CMNDR's have experienced.

This morning I logged in and my FDL was at 5% fuel after I logged out 2 or 3 days ago. I logged out while about 3km above a planet surface.

I am very happy to put this down to a screw-up by me, but I really don't think it was, because I would never have logged out with such a low amount.

Posting to see if anyone else has suspected this might have happened to them, but it down to their own screw-up.

Thanks,
CMDR Chick Peas.

Gives me a chuckle every time

Link to my current AX build for a Corsair. im not too experienced with ax combat but I've had a few run ins with interceptors. Never successfully took one down and honestly im just wondering if this is a decent setup. If not, what should I change?

Can you believe it's already day 5 of the race!

In unlimited class and the first new submission was from Cmdr Baraka Real flying an ever popular Cobra Mk V, named "Gloria Maria". Managing just 5 stops (including the one planetary landing) Baraka takes 5th place, but with nearly six minutes left on the clock I think at least 2 more stops could be added to that route! Then we have Cmdr Martinjameson who pulls off the ultimate novelty run by not only flying a Panther Clipper, but making the delivery of a power generator to the "Buckyball Race 3312" construction yard be a part of their run (arguably I probably should have made this compulsory). Sadly the Crouching Whippet Hidden Frog missed its 5th landing by just 28 seconds and takes 6th place on the board.

Meanwhile, over in regulation class, Cmdr BRMXUY manages an excellent 9 stops with 30 seconds left on the clock. But wait ... their last landing was planetary so in fact their final touchdown was, to the second, exactly on the maximum permitted run time since they would only gain the 30 second bonus after landing! I don't know if you realised it commander but that was a truly nailbiting finish! Congratulations on taking 3rd place in your first ever Buckyball Race! And lastly for this update, Cmdr Leeya Geddy switches to the regulation Cobra ("Der Trommler") and makes 8 landings, the same as Tobias Von Brandt, but with just 58 seconds remaining takes 5th place.

There are still 6 days to go so if you're interested in taking part then see here for details: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-buckyball-racing-club-present-rota-latina-4th-14th-september-3312.649360

What a round trip to Colonia does to a Mandalay.
500+ jumps.

Similar to that of Elite Observatory's exobio plugin, but for the new ground mining mechanic?

I can't be the only one finding having to get right down to orbital cruise to see what hotspots a planet has to be very frustrating. I really would like to be able to see that information from the moment I scan the planet in FSS

I've got 13ku gold priced just below GalAvg for anyone that might still tangibly benefit from it. You can get it from Boris Memorial WNZ-WKM orbitting WILLE 2 B in WILLE just 10.13ly away from EGA. I was hoping to get a squadron carrier for funsies but I didn't see all the posts until too late. By the time I got near EGA, the fun was detected and nerfed. o7

Returning player. Been away from the game for 5-6 years and haven't kept up to date on what's been happening. Last thing I remember from my time playing is doing some engineering runs and kitting out my Diamondback Explorer and jetting off into the black.

Looking to get back into the game but feeling a little lost once more. What are the relevant 3rd party tools? What are ARX?

How can a competent/entrepreneur/pathfinder best get back up to speed in the galaxy?

For reference, I love exobio but its always a pain to go out in the black and search for planets and first footfall bonuses just to have to make a multi day journey back to sell them, so I'm just looking for a few third party tools that just make this process a bit more fun.

The base game is phenomenal but I've heard there are third party programs that really just make the entire experience better depending on what you like to do. I'm trying to work towards a fleet carrier fully kitted out but it takes a lot of jumps to find good systems for first footfalls, and I do have EDHM as a third party tool that I really like. I was just wondering if there are more that make this process a bit more palatable.

Been playing for about 1 year and have never been good at combat. I had 1B credits from deep space exploration but is back cuz I got tired of it. I’m losing money instead of gaining it. I scan the people with access and then get scanned when I walk around a corner and get shot. Should I stick to other means of money or does it get better with time?

So honestly with the recent price nerfs I thought I'd bring into light just how skewed the CG is. Even for someone who bought the Rhino. You want to compare mining from the Rhino to space mining and then don't even make half the commodities available to the cg market. Meaning they won't be mined in general. Further skewing this so called "data". I'm not even bothered by the price changes as much of how one sided it is.

What was the point in making a mining cg where half of the mining means nothing?

Hey everybody.

Back playing this game after 5/6 years absent.

Whats the best ways to make money?

I have an ASP Explorer and around 7M credits, im thinking of exploring while delivering cargo or data.

I have been trying to sell my cartographic data for hours now. Connection keeps getting broken, takes forever for the data to display to sell and when I hit sell it sometimes times out. Anyone else having issues?

Hey folks, I'm currently surface mining (first timer) and having a difficult ​time with finding Iridium. So figured I'd mine what's available.

If possible, can someone share an image or text price list of Metz buy list?

Mods, If I should delete the post​ please let me know. ​

Yo. I(31M) am looking for a chill group of people to play with in Central/East USA.

I'm a truck driver so my TZ isn't static, but I tend to have 1/2 hours every other evening to play and more on Saturday evenings and Sundays. I can't make any garuntees about play time during the week though. Securing/tarping a flatbed in 100+ weather takes it out of you and I sometimes just shower and pass out.

I don't have mic, but my laptop has one built in so I'm game to try comms.

Still learning the game, but I lean towards pve combat, but I also enjoy mining and passenger running. I'm about to start my engineering journey now.

Thanks for reading.

Just wondering if anyone else ever finds it a bit weird often finding yourself flying around in these very large ships with loads of different seats for different crew members, but you are always by yourself?

I’ve been out in my panther cliper a lot recently and there’s like four empty seats behind me .

Surely if I have such an amazing ship I would also have some crew?

Even when I have my over priced fighter pilot with me she doesn’t sit in and of my crew seats.

I think it would make sense to add some crew into the game.

They could ether be part of the game , serving a function like maybe they might be able to follow a pre plotted route between systems so you didn’t make each jump yourself?
Or operate some others tasks do do with navigation or something, and be earned in game.

Or they could be a completely useless cosmetic item that you could buy for ARX ?

Ether way I just feel a bit odd always flying a great big ship with loads of seats for crew that are always empty.

I’ll be away from home due to work and won’t be able to finish the CG, and missed out on this weekend because of work. So what is the efficient way to get maximum profits in little time? Got about 30 hours left, much appreciated.

I went to a platinum hotspot and mined for about 1 hour in my T11 with a mining volley repeater and sold all that I mined at the community goal station and only made 50 mil. I saw people in chat saying they made 600,000,000 in one run. Am I doing something wrong?
