Hi from an oldie, I love this game it’s better than the old xwing days. You don’t see many CMDRs in open play though, in 2 weeks made one friend, flown with a mate and then got mugged by some knob called lord Bluebeard. Still a great game though, so I’ve learnt my lesson to play solo unless meeting up with mates.

reporting for duty.


played Elite back in 1985, still own one of the few copies of Final Frontier, missed the third part, somehow.
learned about Elite Dangerous via my son, downloaded and started on PC right after that.

currently playing on PS4
My way so far:

Sidewinder; unnamed - "bounty hunting" on extraction site until reaching a little above 500k (560k to be precise),

Adder "Pebble Gnawler" - Abbrasion Blasters, Seismic Charge Launcher, prospector limpet, collector limpet, detailed surface scanner, refinery, small shield, cargo hold - 1 run for void opals (just before prices were nerfed)

Keelback "Workhorse" - same basic layout, C graded instead of E - 2 runs on my own, 1 run to teach basics of core mining to squad pal

Python "dicker Digger, Digga" - 3 Abbrasion Blasters, 2 Seismic Charges (for ammo capacity), "A" graded, 192 tons of cargo space - 4 runs of 2 to 3 hrs each

Trader rank "Elite" checked within 1 week.

Type 9 - laid out for surface (e.g. double Painite) mining, tried that, didn't really enjoy it, probably I'll try that again at a later stage

DBX "Dietrich" - unlock Felicity Farseer, obtain access to Sirius, obtain access to Alitoth, unlock Qwent, McQuinn, The Dweller,.... - started collecting materials at "Dav's Hope", "Bug Killer" and "crashed Anaconda"
when this got too repetitive and boring, made a 22k ly trip (needed for unlocking Palin anyway) to two black holes, learned how to use neutron highway, along the way.

bought additionally for future use: Vulture, Chieftain (tbn "Squid Fisher" - there is a 33 year old thing we'll have to settle, my dear little Thargoids) , Mamba (I like her looks too much, to leave her out), ASP X, Phantom

I do know a bit, but often enough I learn about things I didn't know before.


P.S.: not much of a PvP player , don't like it and seriously, lack the skills necessary for that

Hey Bear if you need someone too give you a hand with your confidence in pvp I can give you a hand, I was hesitant at first played solo allot but a big green glowing vette got me looking up. We should wing up maybe, You go hard and if things start going wonky me and my fighter will jump in and help out. That way you get your exp and maybe on other end I get team mate if thing work well. Dont be afraid to give it to them. Cheers

Welcome CMDR Bear Flare
I’m on PS4 as are a few of our apes. Happy to help.

Our squadron is full of folks old enough to have played the original elite ... and many of them did.

You’re welcome to fly with us anytime

Hy everyone,

my in-game name is Nerys Nymei, just joined the game, Inara and its role-playing boards at the same time.

I am an experienced role-player in other games (mostly MMOs) and in some forums, but this is my first time in a game like Elite, so please don't "boooo" too hard at me!

Thanks for reading this little intro and see you in the galaxy and on these boards!

Hello All,

Rejoining the game since taking a break with the birth of my first son. He's 2 years old now so I get my Hands free for a Stick and throttle more lol

The squad I was a part of seems to have disbanded in the year or so I took off, and I need some mates to fly with. Any squads need a PVE Trader, Tourist guide, and (when the Froniter money gods premit a break from space trucking) combat pilot?
