it's weird.  I just throw on some drum and bass or really out there space music / folk music and tune out and then by the time I snap out of my trance, five hours have passed xD

It doesn't even feel like a grind as a result. I'm one rank away from a Federal Corvette now.

SakashiroI stopped flying rescue missions. They're getting boring fast. The part where you navigate through the burning station is too short and not really challenging. The other 90% consist of clicking through menus. Yawn.

I'd rather grind my navy ranks through combat missions, even if it takes longer. At least that will also advance my combat rank at the same time. And they pay more, even if you choose the REP+++ rewards.


Roger that.

Hmm, haven't taken my T-10 out of its garage for a while. It is currently fitted as a disco globe with lasers, but mostly gimballed. Need to test this - for scientific research of course.

I don't own a T-10, but that may have to change depending on the results of your "research".

Billions with turreted type-10 in Low RES...

Doubt! You better let your pc dig crypto as I doubt this will make more than 3-6 mil per hour...

I'm a bit skeptical as well, of course. He does talk about stacking a bunch of massacre missions . . . Anyway, good for a laugh at the very least.

I like the idea of using cargo as bait and protecting it with point defense.

Don't hold your breath. This will take some time. I am going to finish imperial rank grind first.

Aaah - too bad there's no AFK method for that.

What the heck is the point of playing a game by not playing the game lol. I've yet to feel any grind since I'm just doing stuff I find to be fun and the rest comes naturally. There have been times where activities were unequal but lately it feels balanced.

Some activities in the game are just boring. Fortunately there are many to choose from.

Got a planet with 2 icy rings..1 of the ring is tiny and close to the planet the other ring is massive..the gap between these two rings very big. I have to be a certain distance from the planets for discovery scanner to be able to fire. So I am as far away from the planet as I am able to and not able to hit the massive ring. I think it's so far out it doesn't evn give the little "ring" .

I hear you. Spent two days from Petty Officer to Post Commander and I don't know if I can do another one and a half ranks for a corvette. The buzz has gone.

Not sure I need a vette for the time being.

If you can scan the planet, you'll be able to scan all the rings. Not sure why it wouldn't register -- ring -- missed -- ring -- missed. To test out, what happens when you do fire off a probe beyond the 'ring'? Does it fall between the rings or travel out past the large one?
