Oh cheers! How do I go about adding people to my list? Also can I add myself to this list?

And the chaps on Pagan are some of them from OCUK? How and where do you "meet up" to group up etc?

Most of us OCUK members had a blast this afternoon with 3 wings:)

(just pop into our TS friendly bunch and drop down to Elite channel and discus location ect)

Nah entire server is OCUKs as far as we're concerned, just a few people from elsewhere use it too :)

If anyone plays a game and needs a TS server they're welcome to use it, if there isn't a room there for the game you play we can make one and put them in charge of it etc.
 
Ok I need some help, can someone look at the screenshots and tell me where I should be looking for this general?
I searched at teh 2 areas in the mission objective and found someone telling me that I shouldn't kill the general along with that message saying to go to Obastini, having searched for almost an hour there on various USS I still can't find him so am I doing it wrong? Looking at the map the mission marker hasn't updated to say Obastini but still shows the 2 original locations.

If anyone would like to help me that would be welcome.

Still looking :(

I took a few missions like that and got confused, annoyed and then just abandoned them. Either I am missing something or these missions are boring as hell :(

You need to go to either of those 2 systems listed and look for Unidentified Signal Sources.

When you drop into one, you'll either find nothing, pirates, floating cargo, people who will talk to you and tell you where your target actually is, or the target themselves.

Easiest way to find a USS is to throttle to 30km/h in Supercruise when in the system and watch your Contacts list. A USS will pop up, target it (it'll be close) then disengage Supercruise and drop into the USS.

Repeat as necessary until you find your target.

Its bugged, I found that if you get the guy telling you where to find the target FIRST, then you can complete the mission but if you get the guy telling you to go after another target FIRST you will not be able to find the original target ever and as most people do these missions to rank up going after the alternate target is rather counter productive
 
Did anyone go anywhere near Lave over the weekend? I went over there to do some ranking missions as there is a lot of player activity

The place is full of idiots just trying to kill you at the station, they use a small ship to ram you at high speed to get your shields down then a guy in the station in a clipper keeps crashing into you until you die, luckily for me my python is quite strong so I got docked and entered the hanger in plenty of time but these guys must be really bored with the game if that's all they have to do!

At least the CODE guys attack you out in open areas so you have a chance of defending yourself and tbh I have quite enjoyed my encounters with them even if a fight goes from 1v1 to 1v6 in about 30 seconds and I just end up running

I got bored with it after a while and have now embarked on the 71 stop rares run with another guy I got chatting too, which with a 14ly jump range it is going to take a couple of nights at least
 
There was a Reddit post about this I think. Some guy apologising for playing drunk and annoying/killing/voice spamming people last night. Was quite a funny post but can't find it now.
 
I never go to Lave and those few systems in open, which is a shame really. But this style of play is not my idea of fun. The nature of the grind in obtaining upgrades is to steep to be set back by idiots who think imposing there pointless tactics is fun.

Code should do the right thing on these occasions and blow the crap out of them.

Besides i am halfway to the A rated power unit for the python now and then its fully uprated :) its took me a while to get 25mil this time around as i have been working on ranking up for post commander in the Federation and its taking ages.

Although i am tempted to ditch the majority of upgrades and save the python for trading as being able to dock anywhere is a significant advantage imo and just kit out a Fer De Lance, but will miss the firepower of the python, 3 beams and 2 cannons eat mostly anything very very quickly.
 
I do play in Mobius often, but i do miss the lack of interaction of decent people playing the game with respect for others.

Even in Mobius i dont see many people out and about in the systems I am currently in.
 
Anyone have an issue with spontaneously exploding in RESes?

Yesterday I was in combat against an Anaconda, with loads of security helping out, when BOOM! I know my shields and hull were fine. Just exploded without warning.

Moaned to their support and raised a bug, and was credited the equivalent in credits I lost, which was nice... but just now, was again in a RES, and boom.

Now yesterday, I know I was not near the asteroids, and while I am sure I was a bit away from them just now, I can not say for absolute certainty, as I was interrupted by the other half (Why can't they learn to #### off when we are playing this game?).

What I do know is that my hull and shields were both 100%. Yet still, just instadeath.

While I have died in RESes through combat, this is now twice this instant death has happened to me. After it happened yesterday I left the game alone. Now within a couple of entries to a RES it has happened again...
 
I don't mind the players griefing in open play, it gives me targets! I wouldn't mind getting a wing of pythons/FDLs together to hunt CODE players so they aren't sitting so comfortably. The crashing in the dock is pretty weak though. Makes we want to buy a type 9 and do it to them.
 
Must admit sometimes I'm surprised by how many "live" players I find when playing in Mobius and other times it seems empty. got to say though anyone I meet is always really friendly and up for helping out.

Who are these CODE people? Have not heard of them but then again I never play in Open.
