You have 12,800 if you use SCBs each ring of your shield is technically 800, I have 2x 6a SCB with Engineer mod to get 4 scb ammo. So you have 8 SCBs at 800 each and base strength of 3200.

I have had 3600 but the downsides were too much so had to get rid of some Shield Boosters.

Internet Friend · 10-02-2017 09:36AM

Ah right, wasn't factoring in the SCB boosts. Thought you'd gotten ridiculously lucky and won the engineers lotto many times!

Mine are currently at 1700 (thermal resistant) with all my boosters resistance augmented. Seems to be just as strong as reinforced all around thanks to the resistance boosts. Only get trouble now from real players or large wings, but playing in Mobius PVE negates the real player problem.

Couldnt do it......Couldnt sell the Conda.....been tru so much together but after 150+ hours.

Its mine!!!

I am now in the position that to A rate it ( either have the engineered modules I need in storage or the magic stiff to make them) I need money, So i have to play the game again.

Now I have A rated Corvette heavily modified worth a billion, a Jumpconda and now the Imperial cutter with default stuff and 320m. The plan is go all laser based weapons.

I need a Trade CG

Hadn't realised asteroid bases had been introduced in this patch, just seeing the screenshots on reddit.

Mining.....dreadfully painful stuff I'm glad I never have to do again

dreamers75 · 11-03-2017 01:24AM

Will get back into it at some point.

Hate the cutter or maybe I hate the fact that to get it where I want to will take a lot of time and I literally have a murder Corvette and dont feel the time is worth it.

That's just classic MMO end game raider fatigue. It gets hard to be bothered logging in when you have the best gear in the game

Yeah me and ED are on a break for a bit.

2.3 isnt floating my boat with Multicrew, I do like the new missions tho. They are linked and can generate a mini story.

Getting pissed off with the instant fail on missions.

A million lost there because...well I don't know. :mad:

Pain in the arse.

Internet Friend · 12-03-2017 11:34AM

They're looking at fixing that in 2.3

Sounds similar to the insta lost bonus for getting shipments to stations on time that bugged out 99% of the time.

Can this be playing offline? my broadband is a bit pissey lately..

No the background sim is always running even in solo mode, so there's no way to play offline.

Can't say I've ever noticed that one.

Although, I'd rather that than the instant fail on missions. At least it doesn't affect your rep with a group or faction.

Ok after spending the last year of my life grinding out The Division the last update broke me

and it's time to move on. I bought this game when it first came outfiest I wasn't into grinding then but I need some thing to fill in the void in the evenings so it's another "where do I start" post.

How much is a grind is this, I did a few trades bit getting nowhere fast. I know it's complicated but when I see some of the ships costing 100's millions it's very daunting.

What would ye do starting out again to earn bucks fast, is there any resources online out there to help.

dreamers75 · 27-03-2017 08:21PM

Community goals is the quickest way to get money and combat vs the AI.

There is a Bounty Hunting CG on at the moment which combines both of the above and a Delivery one at the same place so if you fly there bring some of the required goods to get yourself on the board.

They usually end before the expected time so you need to get over there nowish.

I've made about 70 mil in a month by buying a type9 (previously in a Cobra) and fitting it out purely for trading. I'm operating in Sol and can get about 2 mil a trip. Short enough trips too. I think being friendly/allied with some crowd helps. Not sure though.

Elite is really empty as a game though, it has to be said. The potential to be great is there, but at the moment, it's just a pretty looking grind. Trade, make money, buy a bigger ship, rinse, repeat.

I'm on my way to an Anaconda, but after I get that, I don't know what I'll do. Piracy? Bounty hunting? Both seem kinda limited.

There is a real problem with these games that are released early to people. Content is lacking and the focus of the dev teams seems misguided, to say the least. 'Day Z' is still Alpha and various iterations focus on strange updates and in 'Elite Dangerous' we get an update that allows us to put faces on our avatars? All the while, it seems that the devs are forgetting to put stuff for the player to do (other than collect items) into their game.

Elite hampers its " stuff to do" by making anything you do affect someone else universe. Any sort of story you have will fcuk someone elses up.

There are new multi part missions in 2.3 beta which have promise but unlikely to be fleshed out for release.

dreamers75 · 04-04-2017 04:05PM

Anyone want a "handy" 200m?
