Elite: Game talk

I'd heard Harlan Ellison had died, and there was only one thing I could think of. Finally, after 45 years of ambiguity, it was official: The third volume of Dangerous Visions is never coming out. That thing ain't getting published from the grave with it's editor dead. :T

Insane562customhere is a warning to all commanders i've just loss use of my pride and joy my imperial clipper The Royal Blood due to i docked it at Arjung to buy a new cutter when i went back to get my clipper to complete some missions i couldn't due global bounties on it of 3700 cr i've been to 4 different interstellar factors i've visited a prison to hand myself in nothing to answer for according to them but still my ship remains locked to that station i have spent months working on that ship to get it just right and it was perfect now its wasted so disheartened be careful Commanders just a heads up


Answering this here because I don't think it's anything to do with Inara.

Firstly, do you have a Notoriety score? IF won't deal with you if you have. Notoriety will decay by 1 point every 2 hours.

Once you've ruled this out, we can explore other possibilities.

If you multicrewed and crimes were committed they apply to your most expensive ship. Bounties are per ship and can only be cleaned in that ship. Fly over there, switch to it and take it to IF.

Hey Guys,
how is it possible that there are wing missions I can't accept at a port … my reputation of that fraction is at 100% and it doesn't say my ship is to big or any other reason at the right side … is that any kind of a bug or a known Problem … does anyone have a solution for that?

That is why you can't take the missions. Because they are worth 130 million! It was possible for however brief to make 500 million an hour with wing source and return missions. FDev was quick to disable them. They will be back and the payouts will be adjusted to something low to keep the masses down and poor.

where did you get that information ….. and was talking of missions not a single mission …. besides you need a lot of cargo to make them in just a h

just figured out that you can't be right with your "suggestion" … there are also low payed wing missions which I can't accept allthough I got full rep …. and there is no other reason mentioned why i can't accept them as well …..

So people won't complain about the Parutis Medb route but when merchants start to make money the world ends. Maybe they should leave the economy be and give everyone an equal chance.

Or perhaps unlock ships once your pilots licence scores you capable.

I think s/he means your ratings, e.g. Novice, Tycoon, Pathfinder.

Which I don't agree with, as that would lock the ships into a linear progression path, rather than current freedom of choosing a ship that suits your bank balance and your needs.

We already have rank locked ships within the Federation and Empire. Making ships locked based on your Pilots fed ranks would not be worth the frustration. Kari nailed it. It'd limit your freedom and the Big 3 would actually be an end-game thing rather than just another tool to cause your madness. Such a mechanic would probably have ensured Elite: Dangerous never became successful.

As much as I enjoy making fun of Harmless Anacondas, it would still very much suck if people weren't able to buy one because their Pilot's Fed rank dictated that they could only fly up to an Adder.

nothing wrong with having all the gear and no idea, indeed, the fact they advertise it so well adds a lot of spice to the game. I wouldn't worry about spoiling their experience though as the number of pilots I've met who have been down that route and now never play is extraordinary. Those who had the grit and tenacity to "Earn their stripes" are still flying and are usually a pain in the arse in combat (even if it's only down to them developing an excellent pull out game!) Let them gorge and I hope Falcon Delacy get even richer from them (Shame there's no market for second hand Anacondas, I'd love a chance of a bargain and I'm sure I'd make a better job of fitting it out!)

You do as it's an endgame purpose? no...Elite is based on Paper-Rock-Scissors....so also a small ship like a Viper Mk3 can bring down a Corvette :p...it's not like warcraft where the goal is to level up asap......bigger ship doesn't mean better....in fact they are just more complicated but therefor better..it would not be good to have a fixed predictable path....
