I jumped on again, over the weekend. So glad I downloaded it again. I added a couple of you, but I have no idea who is active.. If you got a friend request from CMDR njardus, that's me. If you didn't, and wanted to, add me!

I ran some gold for one of the community event things, I think to Sullivan Dock, and one load from my Hauler put me in the Top 99% reward bracket, and a partial second load (got caught by a pirate, he shot me until my loading hatch malfunctioned and dumped some cargo) got me into the top 75%. If I stay there, I'm in the 4 million Cr reward bracket. But, a question, is that 4 mil then split amongst everyone in that bracket, or is that per player?

I want to use my savings to get a bounty hunting plane, I think it's time to diversify! :D
 
I wanted to take part in the bounty hunting community goal, only to find out my ship can't make it to LFT 133 :mad:

If you remain in that bracket, you'll receive that reward of 4mil creds.
 
Hot diggity! :D

I think there's two days or so left, and I want to do a couple more runs if I get the time.

Cool, I might join you tonight. Just finished setting up a new account, so might reset that save and start afresh. Just need to come up with a thrifty CMDR name.
:D
 
[MENTION=4071]BeoTeK[/MENTION], it takes such a long time to actually get enough cash when you start, so why would you reset your save game?

It's a new account anyway and I want a decent CMDR name. My primary account is half way to Jaques station, so this one will allow me to stay in the bubble and play with others and socialise.

Well, the gold run's finished while I'm still at work. :(

But I'll probably log on tonight at some point to just collect my paycheck and buy a new ship of some kind! :D
 
How would i know where the edge of the bubble is ? Currently just meandering around doing the odd BOOM delivery mission here and there in my Viper. But i am beginning to itch for some long distance exploration and plotting a move out the bubble soon...

edit : Anybody else here playing on XBONE ? Please drop me invite "Hiro ZA". Would like some help doing some of the bounties.

I know [MENTION=9789]DieGrootHammer[/MENTION] and [MENTION=9033]Talentloos[/MENTION] play on Xbone, along with myself, but I don't have a Gold subscription.


Just set your galaxy map to show inhabited systems (show allegiances), and zoom out to see where the colored balls stop.

We are already friends on Xbox Live. I've not yet played the game outside of Solo mode, but its because the galaxy is a dangerous place without a wingman. I shall be your wingman. Ghostrider to tower, requesting a flyby!!!

The game surprisingly fun in Open play. Even with my new account flying around in a Sidewinder I haven't a single bit of grief from any other players.

Also, I have noticed that the player base has increased dramatically, could this be due to their presence at Gamescom? This can only be a good thing.

Hotel India Romeo to Golf Hotel Oscar. Permission to engage in wing formation, granted. Welcome aboard, CMDR.

I shall pop you an invite the next time i am taking the stars and we can tackle some of those tricky bounties

I suspect it was the recent sale, which was brilliantly timed to coincide with anti-NMS sentiment.
 
Got my reward for the gold run last night, 6 million odd of credits. Bought a Vulture and started kitting her out, got all the the bare essentials on her, and kept an eye on the insurance cost so that I keep that available.. But when I bought my last item, a shield gennie, I forgot that the addition will push insurance up... So now I have 20k Cr less than the insurance! :( Luckily I still have my Hauler, so I just need to do a run or two to cover that.


Can Xbone and PC play together? And should we maybe start a MyGaming server?
 
Downloaded Elite dangerous: Arena...will this give me a decent idea of the mechanics/gameplay of the real game and what to expect in terms of that?
