I was just thinking the same,very quiet.

I'm still beavering away in my Cobra,trying to make Elite. I did feel a little burnt out myself last week. Then last Friday I had a little incident getting out of the bath and went over on my a$$,twisted my right knee and bruised all up my left side. Not content with just the one fall,3 days later I went down again in the bedroom. No further damage but it didn't make things better that's for sure. So,more or less confined to the house, I ended up playing E:D. I think I can explore with my eyes shut smile

Haha yeah, not so long ago you made a comment about how we really woke this forum up, which was true at that instant, but within days it was dead again. I guess most folks can only take Elite in small doses smile

I'll be back, just a short break to recharge. I still have to hit Elite somewhere along the line so I can see how the rich people live.

I'm happy to do 3 hour shifts as long as I have my laptop open next to me. Then I have something to watch during the boring bits. I would say that exploring is at least 75% boring biggrin

I am just coming back after a ~3 years hiatus from E:D; when I left, there were no engineers, surface landings, Thargoids, ... Ranks Expert/Ranger/Dealer.
So here I am now two days back, with ~15mio cash, my old Cobra Mk3 (and somewhere also a Lakon T-6), and try to get a grips of the latests do's and don'ts...
Consider unlocking some of the engineers, stocking up credits, doing missions, ...

And the game already bites me again: took two massacre missions to kill Tjindjin Gold Hand Gang members, an easier one, 33 harmless or some such, and a more challenging ~85 expert to kill, both 7 days to complete, iirc. After ~3h patroling the Tjindjin system (Nav beacon, USS, Resource sites, ...), I have killed a grand total of two of them (at least counting for both missions...) - theTjindjin Gold Hand Gang faction is at 0% system control and lockdown... And as I have just learned on the FD forums, apparently not all of the very few ships of them around actually count for those missions, only those tagged as mission target do..... banghead
So I guess I might still try for the easier mission, and just skip the other.

Oh, and in case someone wonders, I also accepted a ~3 years old friend request - I think it was Ice, iirc cheers :

Yeah those missions are too difficult to complete, it takes too much time to find the qualifying ships in my opinion. I took one of these in my early days and haven't done so since. All of my bounty hunting is done is RES sites now.

Welcome back to Elite!

Indeed, played all evening and I am now at 10 targets destroyed, all by interdicting their supercruise - I guess I must consider myself lucky that I have two missions with the same target faction active... I will complete the 33 this weekend and afterwards terminate the other. Well, at least all the ship scanning in supercruise gives me a lot of data.

I never computed my Elite time in terms of money, but instead fun. Alas, the days of great robberies has passed and I had to move on. frown Still pop in now and then but it isn't the same.

Well,the Chuckster has burnt-out on E:D for the moment frown

I did briefly consider starting another new game and go Elite in a Sidewinder but... no. Now I need to find something else to play but what? confused

Dayum. That's about 4600 hours? You must enjoy Elite smile

What's your favorite ship?

Like I said, ED is often running when I am doing other things so the hours are probably less. I hope. biggrin

Most of the time I fly the Imperial Cutter. Slow to handle, but large cargo hold.
With a fighter hangar, I`m pretty happy with the ship.

I think it's the same for most of us. I've let my ship sitting at the dock for hours while I watch a footie game or cut the grass smile

I've not owned a Cutter as I don't have the rank. Someday. My brief break has now extended almost a month. I will probably give it another go when the new update drops next week.

I'm in the same boat as you DB,I think I overdid it a little. Can anyone summarise what's in the new update? They have a livestream just started but I can't be bothered to sit through the whole thing.

There are three things I am aware of off the top of my head. New Alliance ship, heavy duty Chieftain essentially. Hull tank. Wing mission changes, who cares. And the Thargoids have the ability to repair each other or something like that. I guess I haven't been paying close enough attention. Not sure there is much more to it, but I recall a 'redacted' feature or change that could be anything.

Thanks DB. Nothing to get me excited unfortunately.

I am going to have another go at No Man's Sky to see if it's improved since last year.

After spending the past few days mining cores, and reaping the generous rewards, I thought it was a good time to dig out this thread and see how things look now biggrin

When I posted on April 9, 2018 these were my stats

Assets: 230m
Hours Played: 355
Credits per hour: 647.887

Combat: Master
Trade: Broker
Exploration: Pathfinder (but not for long!)
CQC: Beyond Helpless

Feds: Petty Officer
Empire: Knight


A week short of one year later (including an eight-month break from Elite)

Assets: 1,789,730,030
Hours Played: 823
Credits per hour: 2,173,754

Combat: Dangerous 27%
Trade: Elite
Exploration: Elite
CQC: Still Helpless

Feds: Ensign
Empire: Viscount

Core mining is a game changer of course. So much so I'm shocked this is FDev we are talking about biggrin
