    Now, could this be why I am not seeing anyone, EVER!
    I have been playing this game (and sure, having fun with it) since Thursday evening, non-stop. Now I can't believe amongst all my play time recently, that 1) I am in such a secluded area that I am no seeing a single sole, or 2) the player base has dropped that drastically considering all the people in the world that are playing this.
    Eh, If I had the time I'd fly over to where you are to check if it is your area or just you. Perhaps I can get some time over the weekend and we can check.
    What system are you in? So I can start flying if I have time

    I think when I logged off last night I was in the vicinity of SEGAIS and/or SILVANITOU star systems. Making my way up to LAVE but I keep getting distracted when I have to dock in order to repair/refuel.
    I'm still around those areas and think I'll hunt here a bit as they are mostly anarchy and independent systems. I have now got enough to buy my next ship and wondering what to go for. I wasn't a fan of the paper thin Eagle so now I'm thinking of Viper or wondering if I should grind more to afford the Cobra.

    For straight up fighting I would pick the Viper, the Cobra is more multi-purpose (fighting and trading). It does take quite a lot of creds to completely kit out the Viper though, think I spent like 2 million on mine and I could still spend more.
    But the Viper is awesome, turns on a penny and is fast as all hell. You'd be able to kill most ships with it, apart from the Python and Anaconda.

    I think I still have to finish the update for my E: D, so I'll do that tonight, and then I can atleast find out how many LY you are from me. I'm in the Valda region.

    Thanks, it would just be nice to know and to put my mind at ease. Also curious to see if anyone has this issue.

    Segais -> Valda ... 9 Jumps / 120.98 ly ... longest jump: 19.80 ly (based on a 20ly jump range)

    Ah cool, that is really close. I'll take my Hauler, it can do 30LY jumps at a time

    Also in a bit of a pickle, as of last night I worked up some decent cash (yes I know, but remember I haven't been playing as much as the rest of ya'll) for another ship.

    1. Do I trade in my Sidewinder in order to afford the Viper with approx 40k to spare.
    2. Do I keep my Sidewinder and save up for the Viper or eventually the Cobra.
    3. If go with the first option, do I use the spare credits to get a secondary Explorer/Trader ship, possibly the Hauler or Adder

    I wish there was a way for me to ship my sidewinder from it's current location to my current location, or alternatively just sell it without actually having to fly 100s of LYs to get to it just to sell it.
    When an anti-piracy method is affecting the game for people who legitimately bought it and causing other people not to buy the game, there is obviously something wrong with it!

    I has a feels they'll incorporate something along the lines of paying X amount to get your ship couriered to your desired location, or a percentage amount of what your ship is worth. Something like that.

    Should already have been in the game imo. I don't mind paying for the service, but it's grinding on my nerves to keep hearing "they'll add this soon" or "they'll probably do this". I didn't buy an early access game, this was suppose to be a released game of AAA quality as we paid a AAA price for it.

    I can stand a few bugs on release and what not, possibly more than the average person. But these are critical features which should have been in the game already.

    If you need money, the best route is to get a better trade ship. From Sidewinder you should get the Hauler as fast as you can, and then the Adder after that.

    To make money fast with the low cargo capacity ships (works well with the Hauler due to the nice jump range) you should go buy rare commodities (I have a list somewhere) and then you fly far away and sell them again. If I recall correctly, the Hauler has 16 slots max (with Shields). You can make about 200k profit on a run of rare goods if you fill your cargo hold.

    The rare goods (if you go for the correct ones) are not that expensive to buy, but sell for hellavalot once you fly far away (think it is more than 60LY away or something) from where you bought them.
