Rayman.Nice, just uploaded my first logbook. Thanks again, o7.
There you go
By the way, they should meet some word/symbol count requirement to be shown on the main page, but you can edit them at any moment. There's a thing to consider: 'over-posting' someone, by placing your recently edited log or pulling your logs up back onto the main page by changing the timestamp, if they end up above someone else's text, is considered impolite. Don't do that.

Other than that, there are no 'roleplay' requirements, you can write about something happened in the game, or absolutely fictional stories in Elite setting, etc.

I could have sent privately first and then edited and sent publicly. I didn't know editing causes this.

i think once a week is enough for logbooks, maybe every two or three weeks so that others can have a chance to have their own logbooks shown.

Ah, any kind of posting frequency is okay, as long as it's comfortable for you, and you have something to write about. The logbooks aren't nearly as popular as they were, to say, two or three years ago, not to mention the covid period: nowadays, I've seen some staying on the main page for almost a week, and back then it was a day, day and a half tops. People wrote stories beforehand and then posted them part by part on schedule. I mean, other people can't see your logs on the main page if the text is short. As for the timestamps, editing and switching from private to public doesn't cause it to change (as far as I remember), one has to do so intentionally. I just thought it might be a good advice since you're new to it.

Question for the Power Play 2.0 people: what's your favorite ship and/or loadout for power play? Are there must-have modules, performances, features etc. that you consider necessary? Or do you use your "regular" ships, depending on the kind of job you are taking?

now thinking, I missed the opportunity to start a logbook during the gold rush CG on the Leadla system long ago. Me and my squadron had to deal with big problems. Could have been interesting. We end up from losing control of the system to removing their starport they owned permanetly and never let that happen again in future xD

you can use any regular ships if u want. Powerplay 2.0 is intergrated with BGS which i use either powerconda 2.0 or i hate federation 24/7's corvette for all activities they throw at you.

if I am in a Stronghold system of my power, it should have a stronghold carrier in it? or is on the main system?

As far as I know, the Stronghold carrier may not be in the stronghold systems if there is another Stronghold carrier of the same power within 30Ly radius. But otherwise, it should be there.

Do stronghold carriers have some type of rank or allegiance requirements? I did not see anything listed (and no warning about a permit) but I was not able to land on it and buy what ever I was buying.

Stronghold carrier admin: "Oi, you got a loicence for that permit!?"

My Latest toy, the Vainglorious Heart


It's gilt-edged, glamorous and sleek by design
it's got its sharp edges, hidden inside
It's hard, unrestrained and it's totally cool
It teases and it pleases as you're cruising through the starlight

Over half a billion spent so far on her, and still more engineering to go, just because she's the prettiest boat in the shipyard.

I presume its power play and you need to be pledged to the controlling power.

When it comes to weaponry, my Krait MK II is just as efficient than the Corvette, thanks to her 4 X 2B MODIFIED GUARDIAN PLASMA CHARGER [FIXED], her problem is overheating, the single 3C BEAM LASER [GIMBALLED] Long range ︎︎︎︎︎ Thermal Vent has a hard time cooling the ship, perhaps I should try a [FIXED] weapon instead as I have little problem staying in target with one.

Also, the PLASMA CHARGERS seems to have a mind of their own, they fire even when the trigger is fully depressed, I'll investigate this to make sure I reduce overheating.

So at the end of a sortie I often end up with structural damage, what I do now, is to Reboot and Repair to make sure I don't have to crawl to the pad during landing on the Carrier.

Advice please.
I spent quite a bit of time mining for some high end materials this week. I transferred them to my carrier instead of selling to myself. I jumped in the game today and much of the material I mined is gone. Nothing is set to sell in the carrier. Is there something I've done wrong?

I don't believe you've done anything wrong. More people have been reporting similar issues recently. A few days ago, 100 units of Graphene and carbon plate I intended to sell through my FC bartender mysteriously vanished on me when I transferred them. Yet, common low-end items like aerogel transfer without a problem. Go figure.
