Btw, how many tens of thousands of Elite NPCs do I need to kill for my combat rank to advance? Progress feels super slow lately.

Ah, the same problem. It looks like... stuck.

p.s. By the way, how did you managed to make that screenshot? Side panels are closing automatically and seems like you can't open them in free cam.

I had to cheat a little.

Ah, Blender. Nice idea. And... that's hardcore. Even not the Photoshop.

I'm glad you pointed this out Meowers. I would have been content to just leer at the attractive pixels without appreciating the true effort involved

Nice work Saka! o7

Yeah... I'll have to make a screenshot for my logs, that must include that right interface panel, but making a pic of a panel itself would be too boring. So I remembered this one as it's quite nice.

(no, I won't be repeating your one, as I have to show 'front' side of that panel)

upd.: ah, crap, there's no suitable internal camera positions anyway.

Ship combat is slow. It took me 4 hours of high res bh just to get 3 percent. I think something changed since then though as I now have 33% and have not killed any ships in the meantime.

You mean, in-game percentage or what's seen here on Inara?

They are both the same for me.

OK, today I saw a hollow red triangle in the high CZ in the CG system. He ate two rockets and I never saw him again

And for the last combat rank you need to kill a lot... I think it is 1700 points. Elite ships kills gives 1.25, deadly 1, dangerous 0.75.

Just keep going to Haz RES, high CZ and perhaps Thargoid interceptors - you will get there eventually.

It depends on what data Inara can acquire. Maybe something is interfering with data upload, as I had a sudden +3% today, however, I made several profile synchronizations during the day.

Well it made the jump in-game so it must be FDev server-side. Also I gained about 1 billion in assets suddenly as well though at a different time. I think maybe they made a few adjustments they were going to make earlier and had forgotten about or something of that nature.

What the heck? I want that surprise too!
