KarinkaKenji_088Hey guys, i have a question.
If i go out to HIP 36601 to stock up on all the raw mats out there.
How long do i have to wait for it all to respawn?
Sooo plenty of mats there, enough for filling the cargo without relogs.
Let us know when you find some selenium
You can get selenium now while casually mining platinum.

GryphnnIf you spammed that Community goal the whole week it is totally possible to get even more. You get 10-12 Mcr per ground combat zone. If you manage to kill 95% of the enemies.
I want to know what setup you using for that. My usual ground High CZ ends in 10-15 min with result 700-900 vs 0 and although I participate in most of the kills I usually end with 5-6 mil in bonds.

or
Still ground combat: Ship with dumbfire missiles 9-13 Mcr, 8min/match (no progress for Mercenary Rank or Combat Rank)
The latter method was just me testing a theory seeing somebody reaching Mercenary Elite V already (Cmdr. Itapen).
But I guess this was the result:
EpisparhProbably some no life nerd that do not have anything to do between sleeping.

Not for me, I'm not a miner. I would rather like to find it in geologicals. I have already tormented myself with mining 500t of ores for Selene Jean and it was very unpleasant experience to me.

GryphnnTK Eclipse shoot down the shields move on and let the AI do the rest 7-9 Mcr the more compact the surface site the better

That Elite V Mercenary does seem rather suspect given how slow the progress was before the last update, and given how the next closest players in that category are Elite I and there are only a very few of those...

GryphnnI don't know what people mean by slow. Compared to Combat Rank, Mercenary Rank seems to be way quicker and easier to gain.
Yep, much quicker since they tweaked it in Tuesday's server update!

Compared to Combat rank, everything is way quicker. Mercenary is much better now but it wasn't so great before. It was still better than Combat however.

I am papering G5 Dominator - Ammo, Battery, Jump Assists, NV with x2 G5 Karma L-6 with stowed reload, magazine size and faster reload for aerial bombings of High CZ from suit.

GryphnnHow much faster is it now? I haven't tried it since the update.
Well, for my low rank, clearing out a settlement gave me about what a High CZ gave before... so about 3-5%. I'll be doing High CZ later for a better comparison.

GALNET - 08 JUL 3307 - Independence Spreads from Azaladshu System
*Pilots Federation ALERT*
The Azaladshu Free faction has defeated the forces of Neche Inc and retained independence from the Federation.
As a result, the Azaladshu, LFT 824, LHS 277 and LTT 3919 systems have confirmed their independent status. The victory also inspired the Coalition of Uteran, Lp 726-6 Free and Gluscap Labour factions to secede from the Federation, affecting all systems under their control.
Mayor Constanza Noguera, leader of Azaladshu Free, declared:
“A Federation that abuses the rights of its people has no authority. With the help of our loyal supporters, we’ve made a stand for dignity and civil rights.”
The situation has caused turmoil in Congress, with President Zachary Hudson being criticised for his inability to contain this rebellion.
Shadow President Felicia Winters responded to accusations that she orchestrated the seceding factions:
“I support their rejection of our harsh surveillance laws, but not their methods of protest. I have no wish to see the Federation lose member systems for any reason.”
Pilots who supported the Azaladshu Free faction can collect their rewards at Eratosthenes Ring station.

The Federation falling apart? This is getting my Seal Of Approval!
