Iwao KishiroI've been doing that Imperial CG 3-5 hours a day and I'm still stuck in 75% participants. Frontier does not value the player's time at this point. And I say that as player with something over 2500 hours since 2016/2017.


If you have Odyssey, do the surface CZs for bonds. For what ever reason, the surface high CZs grant a lot of bonds. Each rount at Uutini netted me 12+ million bonds. I haven't put much time into this CG at all due to work and am in the top 10%. As for rewards, it's already hit tier 5 so for a little while there will be a 30% discount at the station for Imperial ships.

We, console players, don't really have Odyssey... And won't have for a rather long time I guess. I really tried to keep positive but I start to think we just play at borrowed time before Elite is forgotten and abandoned for consoles entirely.

It would suck, given ED has no alternative. And no, moving to PC is not an option or even possibility.

They never really did. This may be the only game where I've spent more time going from point A to B than time at point A or B.

But... It's a game about space travel?

The journey may be part of the experience but unfortunately it feels like 99% of the experience is supercruising or hyperjumping, and eventually all star systems begin to look and feel the same. It's a game about alt-tabbing.

Ah, yeah, that's more accurate... At least you can't (almost) hit anything in space
Having a second screen for social media doomscrolling should be mentioned in the system requirements!

p.s. That's why Carriers are awesome! I'm making a tea, having a smoke or doing smth else while it jumps!

I spend more time these days in Inara rather than the game itself.

My apologies. I didn't realize you were on console. You have my sympathy for that as while I might be on PC, I don't like how the whole situation with Odyssey has been handled.

Yuna SakashiroI'm thinking about building this frag courier...

Anyway ...

I'm wondering, do I need double shot frags or will lightweight get the job done? I don't want to sacrifice speed.
