OK I was sure I had read that somewhere. My mistake. So then yeah, I've been speeding along

The advice in this thread has been really helpful I must add.

And... we were talking about distance from star to destination and I flew a transport mission earlier. To a place called Yurchichkin Port in the Geras system and it was 1,100,000 Ls. Supercruise control

How long did that take? And how much was the payment?

Probably 1/2 hour and 500,000.

I think my designs on getting a FAS will need to be put on hold for a bit. I had mistakenly thought I could get one at the third Federal rank, but that's the Dropship, not the FAS. As I am only just a Cadet at this point, that makes it a long way off. I'll have the money long before the rank so maybe I will aim for a Python after all.

I'm guessing it's more than 1/2 hour and for that time, you could've earned more than 500,000. As for grinding ranks, there used to be places where you could just throw money at the problem to make it go away

Hey LOTS of BOUNTY HUNTING CG's this week!!! All in relatively close proximity. I started at the one in ERAVATE (HIGH RES at ERAVATE 10) but there is one at LHS 3447 right next door and two more at systems about 66 light years away. PEW PEW time again!!

Awesome. Thanx for the info, I'll scoot over.

Yeah, the last one was like 4,000 light years from where I was and I didn't participate. Last I saw only about 200 people were involved in that one.

But Eravate is close. I'll join you guys at some point for some combat. The Vulture is all tricked out now. I ended up fitting 5A shields to it and didn't even go over 100% like I said earlier would be a problem. Jump range is just 10 LY though.

Since this is a space sim thread...

I've been playing Tie Fighter a lot lately. Who cares if it is old; it's still awesome.
