Is the Sol permit the same as the Founders World permit?

Paul GlynnI went for bounty hunting and saw something weird:
Competent dropship survived longer than deadly anaconda

Can someone explain it?


dropships at least will try to joust and shoot you, I have come across low rank anaconda's that just sit there and die, if you approach them from a superior position and pin them with overwhelming weapons fire they fold up like a $2 suitcase

Nope. Founders is for Shinrarta Dezrah, iirc.

im usually NOT allowed to speak as I am extremely rude and antisocial...but when it comes to manipulating the BGS...look no further...Cephy is the one. It starts with Choice of faction, and its success depends on what missions, when and where you pick them. For massive credits you dont want to do BGS manipulation until you are Elite combat rank. Only then is it any good to work it. i usually use two schemes, the Focus one scheme and triangle scheme...in the focus one scheme, you want 7-8 agents to focus a single faction from a neighboring system, this takes a fuckton of time since you have to be very picky about which mission you take, if any mission is interfering with what you are trying to do in the slightests of ways then that mission is a big NO NO for you. The triangle approach is easier to set up because it involves attacking more than one faction....the focused approach pays a bit better as there is less traveling to do .
Expansion happens while or after boom. Remeber that mission boards get updated every 15 minutes, if there isnt a mission that is aligned with your goal at the time, then wait a bit and look again. Forget killing their wanted enemies by yourself...instead do it thru the missions (double pay bounty+mission) i manipulate any system i want by running only 2 types of missions stacked with each other when possible, assassinations/takedowns (both solo and wing versions) and massacre missions ( both solo and wing types) with these two types of missions not only do you get the dankest money in game(yes bigger than mining) but you also put to practice flying skills otherwise you wouldn't use while staring at a rock. When you first get to a system you want to play in, you will find sometimes they are fighting one another...you must become the keeper of peace, work to stop conflicts within system first then work towards boom then expansion, expand all the faction of one system into the neighboring systems, preferably one that has a controlling pirate faction. IF a neighboring system has a controlling pirate faction... everyone in your home system if you try to expand them towards the pirates the mission stacking will get real and you will make about 300-400mill per hour of pewpew (provided you stack your missions properly).

No. They are different permits with different requirements.

Founders World - Shinrarta Dezhra - given for Elite rank in any category
Sol permit is permit given by Federal Navy - when achieved the rank of Petty Officer. You get ranks by doing mission for Federation aligned factions and at some point when you reach 100% with Federal Navy you will be given a special mission for promotion to next rank.

For Founders (backed the game to a certain amount at Kickstarter) it was.

If you are not a Founder though, the Sol permit is navy rank bound and for Founders' World (Shinrarta Dezhra) you need an Elite rank.

ED Odyssey requires 60 GB disk space according to FDev. That's three times the amount required by Horizons!

Does that mean Odyssey will be three times as fun as Horizons?

Galaxy now three times as large. Sagittarius A* gravitational pull now three times stronger to keep it all together.

At what point did credits become meaningless?, for me it was the ability to buy a fleet carrier without worrying about costs. It was around 10 billion...

My main ship is a Keelback and I only do things I enjoy... I realised money was meaningless to me when I hit around 30 mil.

Nice, took me a long time that realise credits don't actually add to the game. You don't need too many credits to do want you actually want.
I find exploring (something .......) and mining (always looking for that perfect rock) as the best for me. Always drop back to the bubble for a bit before going back out. Found the fleet carrier a brill addition for my style of play

I find hiring myself out as a mercenary and stealing data from installations to be pretty fun, especially when it all goes wrong.
