    I mine in solo/private group mode since I am an Eve escapee and I dont want to be ganked by people in space while I am trying to relax ;-). There are no intel channels in Elite to give you warning!

    Is it persistent in that if you aren't on for a week you either have to start-over or have a lot of catching up to do?
    From what is seems thats not the case, but just wanna make sure

    Been lurking this thread a few weeks now and my interest is peaking...
    You might be able to come right, but word of warning. The game doesn't save the state of where you are when you quit, like it would have had it had offline mode, unless you quit after having successfully docked at a station. The quest timers also don't stop if you quit, so any open quests will continue to run until they run out of time and you are then penalized for not completing the quest (not just not getting the reward like other games). So basically you won't be able to do missions.

    You will have to leave the station, fly somewhere, look for a ship with a bounty to kill, kill it, and fly back to a station within 30-40 minutes. That is possible, but I don't really see you able to do much else. You won't be able to head in a random direction and explore the galaxy until you carefully plot a route to a system with a known space port, and then if you get interdicted you might be in time trouble.

    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!

    Really? Does a bounty only last in a session? I did not know it went away if you logged out of Elite.

    No it doesn't. Once the bounty has been collected it stays with you. Unless you destruct.

    sorry dude but this is incorrect. the game saves the state you quit at. I have quit the game mid supercruise and when I logged back in it spawned me right where I left off, only in deep space so just needed to fire up the FSD again.

    The mission timer thing is true still so you will have to pick those carefully. bounties are better in this situation and pays A LOT better

    Wat. None of this is true. The game saves precisely where you quit. Missions are not that bad. Cargo haul missions are the only ones for which you get fined when you fail (and that's only because you then 'steal' the goods). Plus the average cargo haul missions or data delivery mission takes about 10 - 20 minutes max. Assassination and pirate hunt missions might be a problem, although I've personally never had an assassination mission take more than 30 minutes. You just need to drop into random signal source locations or search for the target in open space and interdict him. You also don't get fined if you fail an assassination or pirate hunt mission.

    Bounties vouchers also don't expire, so if you shoot someone with a bounty you can turn it in any time you like, whether it's minutes later or months later. The only time it expires is if you die. You also can absolutely pick a direction a travel there. Just add a fuel scoop and go. You don't need to make it to a station before you quit.

    Are you sure the game you played is called Elite Dangerous, Wyzak? Because nothing you said is remotely accurate or even true.
