    7 months lost

    Posted: 18 Aug 2021 02:52 AM PDT

    Spent 7 months out in the void, exploring. Discovering neutron stars, black holes, water worlds, ammonia worlds, Earth-like worlds and notable Stella phenomena.

    And I lost it all because I forgot to switch to a private session when I got back to occupied space and a ganker saw me as easy meat.

    I've no one to blame but myself. But I think I'm going to have to take a good long break from that game after this. It's utterly soul crushing.

    Fly safe CMDRS. Please if you're reading this don't make the same mistake I did and make sure you're in a private session if you have stuff you don't want to lose.

    New record! Was out having an explore when the new double engineered FSD became available. Finally stopped off in Colonia to catch up on the latest tech and caught my first 300+ LY jump.

    Found an old bedroom photo from about 1995

    Found an old bedroom photo from about 1995

    Was very happy to find this old picture while rooting around in my Dad's attic at the weekend while looking for something else.

    My bedroom setup circa 1995. Notice the Elite II system map on the wall which came in the box. I was playing it on my Atari ST 1040STE around that time. I loved the little TV/cassette player so I could watch telly at the same time as playing.

    Coming back after a few years...amazing game now!

    Posted: 18 Aug 2021 01:56 PM PDT

    I posted a while back asking what I should do as a rebooted returning player and you all gave me some great advice. I started up the game for the first time in years last night and holy crap so much has changed for the better! I love landing on planets and being able to leave my ship and walk around and the way you pick up missions is so much easier to understand.

    Anyway just wanted to say I'm having a great time and unfortunately stayed up way too late last night because I lost track of time.

    A brand new game!

    Posted: 18 Aug 2021 12:02 PM PDT

    So I just picked up the HOTAS 4 thrust master, and after an hour of troubleshooting and downloading drivers and testing they layout of everything, I finally got it to work correctly!

    And holy hell, it's a completely different experience! Everything is so smooth and much easier to maneuver! Landing and flying in general is just more fun!

    I've only been playing ED for a few months and have loved every minute of it, but now it's just feels like a brand new game altogether!

    I know I've only played with the HOTAS for a few hours now, but I already highly recommend it!

    Picture of the 63 Million

    ​

    Hello,

    Following my start of the journey to robigo c.f : Reddit First tread (TL:DR You take mission from point A, drive them to a beacon 3 Jump away, analyse the beacon, and go back to where you took the mission so 6 Jump.)

    I actually ended up doing the 63 Million i needed for my Python upgrade, and now big money will comes. I am following Yamis quick guide to Robigo Passenger grind.

    I will give more precision on how i did proceded to earn that money, i am a simple player, not better than anyone, not worse than anyone, mean you can achieve it.

    -1. I've farmed combat mission with a cobra MK III you can see the details here : Fitting / Different build - Reddit-2. I've wasted 25 hardly earned million into a vulture for CZ (Combat Zone) and imo as solo player it was SLOOOOOWWW as fuck, even slower than bounty hunting with the MKIII. (Btw in under 10h just with combat i earned around 30 Million all counted in)3. With my last and painful CZ mission asking me to take down 45 Target for 13 Million credit ( Took me close to 6 hours.) i've bought an ASP Explorer that you can find on Yamis quick guide.4. I've gotten to Robigo place, and start the grind, however i've lost a good hours with many things i had to setup for QOL.5. Now i writte that reddit thread, full with hope and good news for new player, getting rich quick isn't fake news media!

    ---------------------------------

    Important note that Yamiks didnt explained in the video :

    1. Do not make the 300 LY i've did from where i was to robigo in the ASPX, totally waste of 2 Hours. Instead, fit on it a good fuel scoop, try to get as close as 25-30 LY jump radius and you'll be fine. i was running 300 LY with a Class 1 Fuel scoop, literraly took me 3 total refuel wich was 20 min +- each of them, so yeah, waste of time again.
    2. Set up Keybind for the 75% Throttle speed, if you haven't heard about it as i, when you approach an objectif in Supercruise, as far as you keep the ETA at 06sec-07sec you're fine, how to do this : Go full speed until you get close to 06-07sec, then press the keybind to 75% and adjust with thrust forward/backward, sounds complicated, easy to apply its muscle memory things, don't over think about it. You can find the keybind in Controls -> Ship Control -> Flight Throttle
    3. Set up Route Bookmark, i'm lucky to have a "still alive and pumping 2017 high end desktop setup" but yeah, as you all know, fps in this game is hard. So i figured out instead of opening galaxy map, setup route, then go again inside the navigation tab, well all that take load times, its not huge but for optimization it made me win atleast 1min on each 10-13min run to simply have to hold click on the first icon on the top left when i open galaxy map.
    4. Don't feel bad about low earning mission : Pick up the hightest price you can, and fit the rest of your ship following that rules, and in 3h as far as i can see, you increase rep, wich increase big money mission, for exemple my last 4 run max payout mission went from 1.7Million to 3.7Million and it keep climbing!

    And the numbers :Times are my, don't look at them to see if its better at that times or not, its just for overlaping each hours.

    15 Million in bank : 19h30

    33 Million in bank : 20h30

    Break(Eating)33 Million in bank : 21h03

    45 Million in bank : 22h03

    63 Million in bank : 23h03

    So it took me 3 Hours of grind and you can take out a good 45 min out before running smooth, twinking my setup after each run, so i'd say 2h15 for a total of 48Million in an ASPX.

    Conclusion : It doesnt feel at all like a grind, you have to be activ on your computer, but a bit away aswell between jump quick enough to launch a quick youtube video on your smartphone. Go and get da space mula as Yamiks would say!

    ED Scavenger hunt trivia: What is the most valuable unguarded item lying around in the Milky Way that can be picked up for free and sold at a market for profit?

    Posted: 18 Aug 2021 11:53 AM PDT

    I'll pick up anything that's not nailed down so I was wondering if others were as crazy as me. And if you need a hint, I just gave you one.
