Yep, Inara confirms it.
Congrats, man, that's an awesome achievement.
I had looked a couple days ago and you were at like 85%, then today I saw it at 90. Then Wingnuts says Elite and sure enough, you did it. The progress you made over the past month is unreal.
These sorts of things have little meaning in most games. But for those of us who fly Elite I think it's really something to be proud of. It's one of my goals but not all that close yet.
No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

Recluse is very close to Triple Elite too.
I'm at 20% Deadly. I hit Deadly on March 1, and since then have turned in a little less than 700 bounties plus a handful of assassinations. So that's more than 30 kills per point. NPC rank plays a part, so it will vary. Plus, I've done it mostly solo, and I've never hired a minion. Bo got his combat Elite playing winged up a lot, so splitting the XP on all of his kills. What was your bounty total when you hit Elite Bo? Around 12,000? And of course combat bonds and assassinations add up too, but I know most of us only dabble in that. Mostly it's bounty hunting.
So at this rate I'll need at least another 2400 kills, and maybe many more, to hit Elite. Better get to work! That's alotta shootin'. Matter of fact it's about double the number it took to get to Deadly in the first place.
But I want my locked ship to say Elite too, so I had better keep at it.

CONGRATS!! I am CLOSE but no KAMITRA CIGAR.... I was ahead of Bo by something like 15% a couple of weeks ago...but I gave up the CNB farming for awhile. Time to saddle up and get back to it!

You're close for sure. Yeah, Bo really got his focus tight and ripped though the last 20%. I've been a little too scattered to really get going, but even then to be at 20% after a month has been a little better than I might have predicted. But I have to break it up with mat hunting (searching HGEs), sightseeing and other missions. Haven't played much over the past week or so while playing Silent Hunter. First week in a month where I didn't get my 400 Arx The coronavirus though has given me more time to do both. So if there's a silver lining to it, it's that, and even better, more time with my son and my dog haha. If I stayed focused on combat I think I could hit Elite right around the time carriers come out. But I tend to burn out in June every year. I play Elite for several months each spring, then burn out and move to something else. Maybe carriers will keep me around this year.

I guess I’ve got to find another goal in ED now.
You said it. Early on in my Elite career I made a post here along the lines of 'I fear that when I hit Triple Elite and have all the ships I want I'll stop playing'. I talk all the time about needing goals in this game. How having a purpose is gold. When the time comes I can no longer think of one it will all come crashing to a halt.

I concur with this. At least for now, I already have all the ships I'm interested in having and they are all fully or nearly-fully engineered. Money is also no concern but there's still lots of exploration I can do. I have yet to visit the Witchhead nebula as well as other notable places in the Milky Way.
