Then make sure you go in solo or private group. Don't make the same mistake I did.


I had a bad trip out there yesterday went on a simple look see trip in my Adventurer II, she is a long-ish jump explorer unarmed but has shields {thankfully} use her for my ventures into the black anyway on my way to to the barnys got pulled down a few times......... didn't fight it expecting good natured visits, on the whole most of the 4 interdicts where fine but the last was darn nasty, dropped for another friendly chat only to get a single message "DIE" then 4 ships started to rip the Asp apart, with a lot of boosting I managed to jump out with no shields and 30% hull
So didn't get to see the flower sucking whatever up

What I did get was a real show of the flower on my way back home, I went and repaired my ship at Obsidian Orbital then set my jumps for home and 4 times on the trot I got ripped down and scanned by the flower all 4 times trying to do the same jump from Obsidian.

Next time I go out to anywhere like that then it's either in a toss away ship of my Griffin

Deltus InfiniumJust wanted to say, I had a blast talking to some Commanders at the Barnacles today. Hats off to everyone who has spent the past 24h socializing around an alien gas station.


Yes. The SDC taking a new POI hostage can really bring people together for a nice chat. (Never got to see the giant space flower laser show myself) I did get a little "infiltration adventure" out of it. The people in the discord seemed to like my attempt at a stealthy SRV run. Lol

My little brother bailed just moments before one of those guys hit an instance he was in. Plasma accelerators on immobile targets and the like. It looked mostly like explorer anacondas and asps, but they had a corvette and cutter there too so who knows how it went after that.

Not too well for the immobile targets would be my educated guess.

Hi guys,
Still new to Inara. Just wondering if there is a way to sync my game account in ED to my Inara account?
If this has been asked before, then just point the way.

Thanks

I was landing when a silent running Federal Gunship bombarded me as I was landing 5 meters from the pad luckily he had to bug out be for he could finish the job. Me and my friends baited him back and as we were going to kill him he combat loged. His name is ryeczek21 be on the look out and keep your eyes peeled so you to don't fall victim too.

I had an awful realisation the other day, when I found out my current rank was not 2 ranks from elite but instead a whole whopping 5 ranks away...

...it went from "nearly there, yes" to "Oh my god, I've only started thi bloody grind haven't I"

Had a little cry to myself because shinrarta seems so much farther away now.

Rip. My perceived progress..press F to pay respects.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I'm a long way away from Elite I think. Well, it's only 3 ranks, but I'm not exactly trying to get there. Just enjoying the journey and taking the experience points as they come

Something like 98% dangerous for combat...

Maybe if I just go on a hug exploration trip I can get elite for that...

Probebly someone's gonna tell me it ain't that simple, tho...

I'm soon to be finishing up Elite in exploration.

Even with the new update to exploration payouts, it's still going to take a while.

I think this right here is the key to happiness in the Elite universe; in reality as well, FWIW. If you fixate on the rank, or the credits or the whatever the game measures, it turns into a grind and becomes an effort rather than the fun it is supposed to be.
