Less than an hours play.

It's not Horizons related mate, Fdev just upped the payout levels of normal CG's to 11

Deffo pick up the expansion next time its on sale tho, the drive tuning mod alone makes such a difference to how a ship handles.

I'm back out in 17 Draconis after finally getting a Fed Rank progress mission . I must be very unlucky with the donation missions , only getting 2 or 3 for each login , this is gonna take longer than it's worth .

Seen someone else having the same issue on the main forums, check out Tun thats a safe bet but still a grind.

dreamers75 · 07-09-2016 12:30AM

2 more ranks done and 24 Modular Terminals.

Successful evening

You running missions or just dropping credits on donations to level up so quick?

Missions, take 20 from Shu babassi 3 all going to one place, its one jump away.

Can do 20 in 15 minutes so 80 an hour and atm its 2% per mission. So a rank an hour.

They are showering me in commodites and materials too, so I should be able to unlock Marco Gwent tonight.

Do you need to keep logging out and back in again to get that many missions?

I wish the Fed rank was that quick , I'd say it's costing me at least 50 million a rank if not more

I presume you could use the same method for Fed rank, you just have to find a similar system.

Tun to Alrai works the same way or Sothis to Ceos (im sure there are more).

You have to mission stack yes so take all Empire missions only, switch to Open take more, switch to Solo take more, switch to Private take more.

Only take Empire ones and it requires only mode switching 4 times.

It will change to 1% per mission at some rank not sure what yet.

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/286967-IMPORTANT-OFFICIAL-SHIP-TRANSFER-POLL

The poll itself can be reached at this URL: https://www.elitedangerous.com/en/shiptransfer-vote/

for your convenience, the options in the poll are are shown below:

POLL: Should transferring ships and modules to your location take time?

OPTION 1: No, the transfer should be instant.

OPTION 2: Yes there should be a delay of 5 minutes minimum, 100 minutes to cross the human bubble, edge to edge.

So FD have said its happening and thats that, now players have a choice to decide how it happens.

To be honest this doesnt bother me in the slightest but as with official game forums the sense of entitlement from people with 1000+ hours plus in the game is mental.

What I dont have but would like is when I arrive somewhere and want to switch to combat mode in my Conda/Corvette is a high spec outfitting. Now I am getting what I want with Module deliveries so I can literally have an Multi Role Conda/Corvette (soon to be cutter). I can deliver a trade then equip my shield and hull boosters then murder ****.

So I have no opinion on the ship transfer I would have used if the module thing didnt happen, long post from the Dev in the quote.

Venom · 07-09-2016 06:35PM

I'v found in most MMO's, there's a certain % of the playerbase that upon reaching max level/gear/spec, start crying out for the game to be made much harder overall.

This whole taking 5 days to move ships is not only silly but makes the entire process pointless.

dreamers75 · 08-09-2016 04:38PM

Ohh Combat and Military Intel stealing CG in the same system.

Mu Koji

Anyone want to wing up for Combat Bonds for the Federation Empire Money.....?

Wossack · 09-09-2016 12:22PM

Was out there last night, and didnt last too long unfort. Returning newbie in a cobra3, little outta my league perhaps

Internet Friend · 09-09-2016 12:24PM

Went around all of the Conflict Zones in the system last night but all of them were in a ceasefire state, wonder has that changed at all today.

dreamers75 · 09-09-2016 02:10PM

ABC 4 is active and has capitals ships and ABC 6 is active. Was in top 10% with 2 million last night. Cant enter beacons as it crashes my game FD supposed to be fixing it.

Shame you cant kill capital ships

dreamers75 · 09-09-2016 10:42PM

Annnnnd its done. Lost loads of bonds with whatever issues it had, still cant drop into Beacons without the game crashing.

In that system you could make a killing delivering nerve gas missions.

dreamers75 · 12-09-2016 06:29PM

Ship transfer vote is in, 40k votes 70% voted for a delay between 5 and 100 minutes.

I only want Module Transfer so not bothered.

jonski · 12-09-2016 07:29PM

A delay makes sense imho .

They should allow me to deliver ships in my Cutter too ....and pay me big bucks to do it

Module storage and transfer is the big deal for me out of the 2 but and I can live with 5 min to 2 hour window for ship transfer once its not stupid money.

Got a very nice outcome on a level 4 FSD Range mod so now have 40LY jump range on my conda

Internet Friend · 12-09-2016 08:27PM

Instant ship transfer was a silly idea really, very immersion breaking imo, glad it wasn't the communities choice.

Really enjoying it now that I have horizons, spent the weekend doing engineers stuff and working on my Fed rank (which is still abysmal!). Went out to see the crashed alien ship too which was kinda cool!

Icyseanfitz · 12-09-2016 10:27PM

played this 2 years back at release, has there been much added to it? is the expansion a must buy?

Forgive the newbie question but what engineer stuff is there to do?

dreamers75 · 12-09-2016 11:41PM

I have awesome incendiarys MC on the Anaconda, I want to put them on the Corvette. And I dont want to give Blaster 30m in Alliance bounties again. That took a lot of time, the level 5 items were much easier than getting that bounty.

I got an awful roll on Level5 MC for the corvette.
