Sooo tempted to delve into this again but every time I think about logging on the thought of playing for a couple of hours and coming off with a sense that I've achieved very little puts me off. Did FD ever re-balance the Sothis / Ceos runs after they were nerfed into oblivion?

I'm grinding to get my big ship, once thats done I'll rank up on the other lot to get that ship, then look at engineering stuff...

I don't really get the engineering stuff, i'm supposed to meet ppl but have no idea where to find them.

Do certain things and you'll get introduced to them, then give them certain things and get to use them, then it's a case of the more you do with them the higher level stuff you can get them to do, think of it as a mini grind within a grind lol
fired this up last weekend for the first time since patch 1.2.
wow, the game is really coming along, plenty to see and do.
voice control and VR support, the frontier team deserve plaudits.
really liking being able to move equipment around and the whole passengers thing.
do we have an OCUK faction up and running ?

thanks for the heads up
Well I logged on last night to have a tinker and Sothis looks pretty dead. My Python was built for the Sothis runs so was mostly lightweight and no armament for the jump range, however with 450m credits I'm going to A rate the components, get some guns and maybe try these engineers that people are fussing over. So,
a) What is the best way of making money and increasing trade rank now that Sothis is gone? (no passenger missions please).
b) Can I have some suggestions on weapons for the Python please?

From what I remember of the python it is not sure on power and handles heat pretty well.
On my cutter I'm running grade 5 efficient beams with thermal vent with one corrosive MC and one incendiary and it's great. Stuff just melts.

currently running my mission python with 2 large pulses and then rest multi cannons. multi cannons are engineered with overcharge and incendiary rounds
works pretty well
currently running 1 huge beam and rest multis its ok once i get on target
So with the multi-crew details appearing, and the premise being that you can either:-
1) Offer your ship for multi-crew position(s).
2) Ask the game to place you on another willing CMDRs ship.
...it's going to be fascinating if in 2-3 months we have another CQC on our hands. ie: For all the time/effort invested, it ends up being rarely used.

Loving the new feature where missions will immediately fail...
Awesome..

Do what?

2.3 leaves me a tad cold. The Commanders is basically more combat related guff, as if shooty shooty in Elite is that exciting anyway....
However, after just arriving at the site of the 3rd Alien Ruins, which happened to be placed on the beigest, most featureless lump of rock I've so far had the misfortune to visit, perhaps combat is the only thing to get the heart pumping in Elite.

Go into mission board, accept a mission, second later it fails, look in the log and it says unknown contact, failed etc...
If it's a transport X mission I end up with illegal cargo as it thinks it's stolen...

The Panther clipper now that brings back memories of when i had one in elite 2 frontier armed with a large plasma accelerator.
Iam currently trying out voice attack with a few hcs voice packs gf though i was going crazy talking to my pc.
