Elite: Game talk

EpisparhFrontier, in their ultimate wisdom thought that it will be fun for the players to wait X amount of minutes to buy N amount of PP commodities..

Ahh, now I get it (duh), it's the stuff you can fly around for your power & that you can fast-forward for cash to speed up the process. I see, thanks.

Next question: So how tricky is defection? Do they come down hard on you, or is it manageable?

MiseriAnyone helping out that Operation Breakwater counter CG put on by McCoy Spaceways at all?

Had it in mind to fly a load for them just for the heck of it when I'm done doing what I'm doing. Don't think it will matter much one way or another though, or will it? (Edit: Or maybe it would by supplying substantial storage room. That I don't have and I'm not sure I would if I did, though.)

I've heard that defection isn't as bad but NPCs will definitely try to hunt you. So if you are not confident in your ship and skills better leave the power and wait for the cooldown before pledging to another one. I do not remember how long was the delay or was there delay at all.

I doubt a hour or a day will make a difference.

At my current rating of 3, the wait is just 1/2 day. I'm pretty confident against NPC's and so am tempted to try it, but probably the wise thing to do is to leave it till a later stage, yeah.

12 hours isn't as bad when you will need to be Pledged for 28 days

Exactly. It's just an attractive idea to take along 1/2 your merits, or what is it. That, and the sense of living dangerously

A devoted combateer I ain't, though. I mean I can stand my ground (and hopefully know when to run away), but, that only goes so far.

Hello.
I wanted to join the Community Goal: DELIVER GUARDIAN ARTEFACTS TO THE BRIGHT SENTINEL IN HIP 22460 as a new player.
I collected the necessary artifacts and was on my way to hand them over.
After arriving in sector HIP 22460 just before the goal, I was killed in a flash by a player(human).
My question is: does it make sense to try to complete these tasks when there are such gankers among the players?

If you don't want or can't play PvP, you can always switch to Solo mode.

No with your cardboard ship and game experience.

Switch to Solo or play in Private Group to eliminate danger of being killed by more experienced players with far superior ships.

I think it’s a little unfair to call it ganking when someone kills you to stop you delivering potentially murder-enabling materials to a psycho madman. They may have been doing the galaxy a service.

In this case I would not call it ganking but in general, if you want to get stuff done, play in Solo mode or a PG to avoid player interference altogether.
