FalconFlyWhat happened to the CMDR Rankings?

I randomly browse around and find out I'm supposedly #1 all of a sudden (??)

CMDR RockyBohanonHi, I’m new to elite I’m sorry if I’ve posted this in the wrong place if I have please correct me for next time lol.

I’ve been learning the basics, flying around, exploring and doing some delivery and data missions. I currently have a type 6 transporter (I think) I have about 100 storage capacity and i believe it’s pretty much maxed out storage wise. I currently have around 11-12million cash and I’m looking to buy a ship which I can maybe already afford or I’m not too far off being able to purchase. I’m not worried about it’s combat abilities il do combat later on when I have plenty of money to spend on a combat ship; but for now I’m looking for a ship which is can carry lots to increase my profit on trading runs as well as a good Jumping distance and if it can take abit of fire from other ships in emergency’s that’s even better

Any suggestions on what ship I should buy or should i carry on using what I have?

Thanks


The Python is the most versatile Medium class ship in the game and you'll end up keeping it to use for some reason or another.  Until you can afford it you might want to look at the Asp Explorer.  It will increase your cargo by another 10 or so, increase your jump range by at least 6 light years (and has the second highest jump range possible in that price range), is viable for combat, and has one of my favourite cockpits.  It too is a keeper as it is one of the best deep space explorer ships you can get.

edit: 'second' (I forgot DBX)

Check out https://coriolis.io/ for all your ship shopping and equipping needs.

i think if you work on cargo missions for now to get type 9 you will be fine. type 9 i a bit expensive but you can put up to 790 cargo.

check this page
https://eddb.io/trade/hops

find yourself best route with most profit. you can find trade for 1,5 -2M for one short jump and close stations with 100cargo you got. do it back and forward and after couples hours you will have 100000000cr. thats how i started.

good luck

I went to the AspX from the starter ship (via an Adder for a very short while) and still have it kicking around. Currently outfitted for core mining and can carry just over 100 tonnes (including a full refinery). Fun to fly, good jump range even unengineered. I've used it for trading, exploring, bounty hunting (a little flimsy but fun!), and will be refitting it soon for some exploration work. I have a DBX as well which has a better jump range, but the bigger fuel scoop on the AspX makes long distance travelling much easier.

We definitely need minimum supply demand filter in there as well to make life easier i think.

Hmmm... that shouldn't be complicated to add. About what range of supply levels are we talking about?

Edit: The filter is there, the more options of supply levels can be further added when necessary.

This CG sucks on so many levels. I couldn't care for either faction but what are the incentives for participating?

Yeah, unload a ton of precious encoded materials because reasons.

So far, I haven't seen any incentives. "No cash, No flash!"

I didn't knew grade 1 encoded are so precious.... And I bet someone forgot to add the reward paragraph when copy/pasta.

Since Marco Qwent is in Sirius... How about 5A PP double engineered g5 armored + low emissions
