Use EDMC, go to File - Settings - Inara and tick the box. On the INARA webpage, login, go to Settings (top), then INARA API (left side), and generate new key. Copy that key into the EDMC API Key window. Done.
It will update INARA depending on how you've set up EDMC to throw out the updates. I've set mine to delay updates until I dock.
Thanks, that's really helpful, and I will get this done after returning from my exploration expedition.
Plus, I can use this to import my builds in to Coriolis. I stopped using that as soon as I began engineering, but if I can simply import my builds that would be great.
No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

Not the best return per hour, so far as credits go. But I often spend loads of play doing things that don't pay any credits at all, but are (IMO) quite rewarding otherwise. And I've spent an easy 100,000,000 credits along the way, things like donation missions, ship transfers, and whatnot, all of which only consume credits.
You're making more than me! It doesn't matter one bit if you're making a lot or making a little, as long as you are enjoying what you're doing. I know you already know this
I've spent hours scanning wakes, or driving the SRV around and that makes not a bit!
Wow Wingy, nice! Elite combat rating must be the hardest to get? How many bounty claims have you turned in if I may ask?

Yep, I drive the SRV for hours, too. Part of why I enjoy the Keelback for exploration lately, is that I can take a fighter along for this same role. They are so fast and maneuverable, it's a joy to zip along an interesting landscape, right down close to the surface, while my ship awaits safely above.

Yep, having fun is good enough. If what you're in to is paying space ducats, all the better. If not, so what, there will always be money to be made down the line.
Has anyone here reached Elite exploration rank?

I'm now @ 62% towards top dog.Hopefully by the day's end I'll be there.
I thought it would be more of a slog to be honest. I'm running all the Rep +++ missions I can find,no planetary landings,they take too long.
Not sure if I will go for Empire or Alliance next. So many 'goals' in this game to achieve as long as you don't mind a bit of grinding. I see there is no rank for Alliance,is that just a case of achieving 100% and that's it?

Chasing ranks doesn't appear to be very profitable (I don't do combat) unless someone knows different? I also don't carry an SRV so surface missions are out too. I guess I'll just have to continue the rank grind and then have a massive trading session to get the credits built up.
I can afford a Corvette (just) but no leeway for making changes to it and I don't want to sell either of my ships.

So which ship will you buy? The Orca is a fine beast, I'd say
There's no money in ranks, no. But at least you can walk around saying you're an admiral, and that's cool. I bet the chicks dig it. When you're down the pub in your admiral's uniform you must have to fight them off
I started this thread 10 days ago, and since then I've made an additional 110 million, almost exactly half of what I had made in all my Elite time previously. So that changes my profit a touch, but I don't want to say by how much or it would reveal how many hours I've played in those 10 days.
No rank progress, but have gotten exploration to 70% Ranger, so just two and a bit explo ranks to hit Elite now. But that is like another couple hundred million just to go through those last two levels. It won't come quickly, but I am making progress. Gotta get that permit.

I'm going to rank up the Empire as fast as possible. And yes,some of those ship builds are staggering.
I've moved my base to Empire territory for the ranking grind and requested my T-9 be delivered to my home station. That cost 750,000 cr!
I'm really happy atm because over the last 2-3 years I've been in a gaming wilderness,unable to commit to anything. Now I'm fully committed to E:D and loving it
