I'm doing a bit of grinding to Rank 5 for ALD in Neites in my trusty FAS. Man does this feel like its taking forever though :shock: . It was great winging up for the first time ever with a few people yesterday so thank you for that. o7

I was doing some missions in the area of Alpha Centauri, so I decided to hop out to Hutton for the first time and grab a few mugs.

How did that go for you? It seemed like the BB was very stingy with shadow delivery missions at 17 Draconis this weekend.


They're fine. I swear you get less hassle from feds doing this one rather than robigo. I returned to Robigo later today as they are a tiny bit more frequent and higher value and I got scanned surreptitiously by some invisible thing just yards from landing at my final outpost. So I only lost out 4M. I'd already banked 16 or so on 3 others. Outposts are slightly more dodgy than orbitals as I can just belt into an orbital like a dervish and throw out the anchors, scoop and landing gear as i get to 3k (ish) might be 4k...ive hit a few toast racks. My asp isn't like my vulture, its hard to stop. :)

Outposts, I haven't figured out how best to approach other than arriving noisily and at speed.

Obsidian SD missions are generally more relaxed. The feds are fewer but thats only my impression. I may be wrong.

Thanks for the info! I'll have to give Obsidian a try next weekend when I have a few hours.

What I like with SD missions is that they're 300y + and with an advanced sensor you also get some nice cartography whilst your about it.

It beats the trade grind in a T9 anyways. I sick of the sight of my T9. :) Smuggling like this is more fun. Although I'm off to do some shooting for a bit in a hires next logon.

Besides you can pop by merope 5c to see the barnacles. Tis 1 jump away from Maia.

Banging our collective heads against a brick wall................

Just a small amount of problems tonight........

Big one that REALLY pissed me off was we were just coming up to a massive POI in the buggys.......Big structures we could see them and Boom......CTD........Came back in......Said structure no where to be seen.............

Worst than that is....We convinced someone to buy horizons to join us in game.......

He did.......And after a download and install joined us.....

Lori talked him through the planetary landing process and gave advice on buggy bindings......

But no matter what we done...He was always 10m above the surface and seeing different things to us.....

Dear FD....... :x

Tor.....Hold on.......Tor.......Wait a bit.....TOR will you stop fecking firing.......Ok......Tor I know a therapist that can help you....... :D My Cmdr also has small feet

Managed to donate enough to Fed "charities" to get my Rear Admiral rank this weekend. 5 days from WO to RA. Ran some shadow missions and delivery missions while there.
Now off to rank up my trade while delivering stuff for the Blue haired one.

Have fun, fly safe. o7

Chipping away at this final 32% to Elite.
Can't wait to start working towards Elite in other things.
