What are you doing (ingame) now?

[Cmdr Kharma]

Watching Some less intelligent member of the "Team" try a flyby and bounce off the planet to the cost of a 173,000 repair bill.....

I did laugh......

And then watching as he joined forces with the other numbnuts to ram a sentry in their SRV's.......It worked.....

And yet again I laughed.....

Lori of course went boom in the process....But nothing unusual there......

Decided that the rate I go through Buggies is horrid and I needed to ensure my playtime was not interrupted going back to the stations to get more buggies.

So I bought a Buggy hauler. She's fast, Sleek, carries 5 buggies, 128 Tonnes of Cargo, and looks fabulous in a Little Black Dress.

Hopefully she lets me stay out and play more

Serious question... is there anything to do in a buggy other than assault settlements (which I have no real interest in), and bust open tiny rocks that seem to be very sparsely distributed on planetoids?

I kind of want to get more materials for synthesis, but when I only seem to find 5 pieces of anything on a planet within a half-hour ride from where I landed, it seems a bit boring. I still need to rank up from lieutennant to rear admiral and raise about 100mil credits at the moment anyway, but I want to know if I'm missing something.

I thought I read about derelict ships to plunder, but I haven't seen any of that, and the buggies only seem to hold 2-4 tons of cargo anyway.

Trading. Yawn.
Keeping myself awake figuring out how to do the round trip faster. Currently got a round trip down to about 10m30s.
Using a docking computer helps - whilst it's docking, I can select the next system and station, so my time in port is minimal.
Anyone got any more tips to speed this up?

Drink heavily...

[Cmdr Kharma]

Nope not missing a thing......That's about it.....

Unless you approach it from a different angle........

How many...Double...Triple.....Quad backflips can you do........

Can you really zoom off a cliff top and survive......

Can you take out a sentry by ramming it.......

Buggy races........

Can a buggy get to space by sitting on top a ship.........

Absolutely nothing to do with grinding...Getting credits or rank progression mind you......

But then it's fun..........

If ya 12.........

You need to check what planets etc you are landing on.. different materials are found on High Metal planets than Rocky planets (Moons) - also check the reserves, Depleted reserves, as the name suggests, can be a grind, but Pristine reserves suggest higher concentrations of materials... I know, I'm stating the obvious, forgive me, but - one last thing, vitally important... find a couple of eediots to share the agony with... laugh until you pee a little and hey presto.. you got what you need!!
If you want to find POI's fly at about 3.5km above the surface and look for the Blue circles, land, dismiss your ship and look around in the buggeh... always something to find..
Oh, did I mention it helps to have a drink or listen to music too.. (or the mutterings of two inhibriated collegues impacting in to the planet surface at a rapid rate of knots..)

Have immense fun out there

Beat me to it...

Well now frankly....That's not hard is it......

Finally bought my Python. 10 mil of upgrades to start with. Making my way back home.

That helps. I've really only found one rock in blue circles before, but it may have been depleted planets. I tend to stay well within the bubble running missions and trading/smuggling, so that may explain it.

Question about dismissing the ship though: Do I need to worry about it being attacked somewhere in orbit, or is it only vulnerable on the ground?
