Strange, my post just disappeared. Anyone having similar experience with writing a post, opening another i a new tab, sending the former post, and first post vanishing?

Anyway, what a night. Persephones station was hugely overcrowded. Condas zipping around like flies ... Mobius has grown big for sure. Than someone spilling cannisters all over the place. That was really traffic line business hours style.

@Flipp, sorry if I came into the way of your Python. Very strange though that I should have hindered it in the letterbox when I didn't even notice it -- a Python should be big enough to notice you should think ... or do you sport some new cloaking device? ;)
After anncouncing my exit and just before entereing the letterbox, a Conda was dancing nose-down on her landing pad, forcing me to stop, so I didn't even have much speed at the time (and looked around). Oh well, sorry anyway.

the Persephone goal is a boring as pooh so i thought i'd build my usual Hauler shuttle and go home for a bit of photon fun in a RES.
can't buy a Hauler, so a Sidewinder then - that's ok, i'll go to neighbouring high-tech Siddha and buy a Hauler there.
sold the weapons and extras and fitted an E1 fuel scoop.
can't upgrade the Sidey's frameshift drive.
can't upgrade the power plant.
can't upgrade the (insert item here) because Persephone is a grotty little backwater flea hole with no spares.

here is the shortest route i could take from Persephone to Siddha.

bugger that for a joke.

jeez, if that's your stats and you haven't hit elite yet, then i've got years left to go

by the looks of your rebuy, i'm guessing you're in an Anaconda? is having such a large powerful ship much of a factor when the game assesses kills vs. rank? i.e. compared to if you were in say a Viper or Vulture

Finally got my Python yesterday afternoon! :D

My lovely little trade route that was taking 3 round trips at 128 tons in my ASP to make around a mil credits profit now turns over 2.28 mil profit for the same number of trips. Going to build back up my credits and work on upfitting systems to get her combat ready and then will put shields back on last and enjoy my combat/trader. I'll gladly sacrifice the 64 ton bay for shields at that point so I can go back to putting those pesky interdiction npcs in their place.

Probably, but I've seen folks on the official forums say they hit Elite with big ships with lower stats.

Me and Flip headed over to Autaheneseti for the federal bounty CG.
