Elite: Game talk

Though I did instantly join a player faction with 650+ members and mostly hang around their HQ...
But I've even ventured out to the Pleiades and met a few players, but nothing hostile. I'm not worried about jumping into Solo just to avoid the 1% chance of getting greifed.

Bernard of Tongeren though that would require CG's to be locked off in solo or private
That would take some serious luck, since unless you're winged up, the chance of more than 3 or 4 people in the same faction, being in the same instance (server) of the game are pretty rare. Hell I've dropped out of the instance just for leaving a wing one time.

PhelboreStoopidface 2. Undock with the certain knowledge that you're probably going to die. (this part is key to curbing the panic response when it really matters)
This is good advice in general.
Another piece of advice, don't buy a ship when you can afford it. The price will at least double once it's been fit (I have a 16m Viper MkIV in my fleet, if memory serves). Add enough rebuys to learn to fly it and you're usually looking at 3-5 times base cost. Nothing's more frustrating than a ship you can't fly.
Good example:
Federal Corvette = 186,500,000
Military grade armor plating for Federal Corvette = 169,000,000
1 module and you've almost paid for a second Fed Vette.

Well you see thats because the armour upgrade is simply wrapping a Vette around your Vette so you can Vette while you Vette :3

True, like with the Anaconda you can take your shields, wrap those in more shields and put all of that in a shielded sh*thouse. Makes for a very fun p*ssing contest.

Just don’t forget your module protection, otherwise one of those G*s will come along in a Courier with flechettes or a mine laying Cobra and Shields Be Gone ™️.

Also true. I have never owned a large combat ship, all of my friends who have them instantly develop a severe spatial awareness impediment. I stick with the agile Alliance ships myself.

Scroll down to FSD Interrupt for Dumb Missiles, it's an experimental you have to add to a missile after engineering at least one level. The earliest place to get it is Juri Ishmaak who is unlocked by Felicity Farseer who requires Scout rank in Exploration and 1 Meta Alloy.

Ingrid ElfridrHeya guys, just a quick question. I've been working on this sh*t for weeks. Looking for that annoying shiny, explosive painite. I've visited a number of systems, searching ring systems and planetary surfaces. It is hiding from me and it's not like I can flush the stuff out of a foxhole with a flamethrower
Now is there an opportunity for you!
The East India Company is always available for you to make purchases for such materials!
