    Gankers justifying their actions as "hard lessons"

    Posted: 25 Oct 2019 07:31 AM PDT

    If you're the type of person who thinks that ganking a new player is teaching them something....try this instead of outright killing them:

    Get a module sniping build; beam lazors for the shields and cannons for the module. Snipe either their thrusters or FSD. If you can get their thrusters this is better because they will have no choice but to learn something: reboot/repair.

    Outright killing a new player only teaches them one thing: that you are a shitty person. That is all they will learn.

    If you snipe their thrusters and high wake while they are dead in the water...they don't have many options. You can tell them "reboot your ship. fly dangerously" and leave without sending them to the rebuy screen.

    I'm tired of hearing the 'logic' that unprovoked ganking 'teaches' players how to 'git gud.' All ganking does is tell everyone that you were bullied in school and you're trying to get your revenge on the world; you're not helping, stop lying.

    I wish there were private companies managed purely by users and a whole ecosystem around it

    Posted: 25 Oct 2019 08:55 AM PDT

    Imagine creating a mining company and hiring people, or an agricultural company trading fertilizer where I need to get the permits and deal with space bureaucracy.

    Jesus Christ, do I pay for crew members even when they are inactive?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2019 01:35 PM PDT

    It says here I paid Selene 85mil and Moshe 59mil even though I used them for dozen hours max half a year a go. So they still get paid, in this case 4 and 5% of what I earn even though I do not have any ships with fighter hangars let alone assigned them to anything.

    PS I posted this here because I think this might be interesting to the community as a whole

    Inside space stations.

    Posted: 25 Oct 2019 08:23 AM PDT

    So here's a question for the group.

    When you enter space stations and you're landing on your designated pad, in a lot of the stations there's a control tower for each pad. Do you think it would add to the atmosphere of the game by having silhouettes of the people that are supposed to work in there?

    For example, someone sat at a desk, someone looking through the window, etc?

    What,do you guys think?

    Under or unexplored Galatic regions

    Posted: 25 Oct 2019 12:36 PM PDT

    So it's been on my mind now that I don't think I've seen a discussion between cmdrs about regions or places that we don't really explore or hear talked about much. In my mind most of the places I usually hear about is the Formidine Rift and everything between the Bubble and Beagle Point. I'm more curious about the other regions that are far off the beaten path and the fleets of the DW2 Expedition.

    PSA: Grind - How to get Federation & Empire rank in 1-2 days - Oct 2019

    Posted: 25 Oct 2019 03:49 PM PDT

    Disclaimer: I do not claim the locations of those systems my own discovery. For example Empire grind tip is well known (I will just cover it shortly, so it will be under same topic) and Federation rank was discovered by user: MozartMcLaus in the official forums - I do not know if that is his commander name. I know this all works, as I grinded my Empire rank in 6h and Federation rank 8h. During that time I did took some bathroom and dinner breaks. Note things might change, missions get nerfed or system status might change the amount of missions you get etc. If you notice something does not work, come back later and it might will work. I thought of keeping Federation grind spot quite under the hood for my squadron here, but nobody really needs to rank grind anymore so I figured I share it more so public as it will have some use for those who need it.

    Empire Ranking :

    Things you need:

    1. Ship - I recommend small ship DBX / Cobra / Hauler (reason you will landing outposts and in times medium pads are full so you better grab something small + those are outposts).

    Location:

    Mainani - Mies van der Rohe's Claim

    What to do:

    1. Grab all the Data delivery missions and deliver them only to Ngalinn and just keep going between those systems.

    2. If you get rank up mission just take Data delivery mission to Mainani or Ngalinn.

    3. Watch this how to video from Down to Earth Astronomy

    Federation Ranking :

    Things you need:

    1. Ship with largest amount of cargo (Cutter / Type-9 / Anaconda) - I use 664T Cutter and at times I'm short.

    Location:

    Go system: Canopus (309ly from Sol) - Rangarajan's Base (42,415 ls from star)

    What to do:

    1. Once docked take every Data delivery mission and look for Cargo delivery missions (not the ones what ask you to buy anything or collect from the signal sources), that go to system: Exphiay (8.06ly from Canopus). Note: As there is only couple of systems 300ly range, but you still get main missions between Canopus and Exphiay. Ignore planet missions!

    2. Travel to system **Exphiay (8.06ly from Canopus) and pick any station (861ls away) - note both stations are just 1ls from each other!

    3. Deliver all the Data and Cargo missions and pick new ones from Worlidge Hub and James K Winston station (once you take from one station go pick from another). Take all the Data and Cargo missions back to Canopus.

    4. Be ready for many interdictions as you carry cargo. Best advice is to just play the minigame and that is it. Most things that hunt you are NPC Type-10s / Anacondas and FDLs.

    Note:

    Sometimes you get Rep+++++ missions (for example) / those are rare, but happen. If you look for Navy mission, then only grab data or cargo missions on your grind path. Best time to run missions there is based on the state of the systems too.

    If you get Donation missions (credits and nothing else) for those 2 Federation NPCs - take and do them! Rest of the NPCs Donation missions are only good if you need to build REP up with them. You can ignore them after.

    One negative downside is the 42,415 ls travel in one of the system, but it is much better as cargo missions give you much more REP than some data mission hopping in Ceos and Sothis over the course of 2 weeks or so. Data missions are nice for early rank, but later get really really small REP givers. So that is why cargo missions are better.

    Of course this method means you do need to own larger ship. Please look mining guides for to make easy credits what get you started:

    Notable Stellar Phenomena: Where can they be found? They tend to occur near nebulas, but can they occur randomly in the galaxy?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2019 02:30 PM PDT

    Also, are they tied to the region of the galaxy in some way?
