I did mine at Aditi. There was a single Imperial base, one jump away. The implications being that at the time you could stack 20 small transport/data missions, then make a jump and repeat on the way back. Took me around 3 days. Don't know if that's still viable.

Think Aditi took a hit from the nerf bat when 2.2 dropped
Will some of my exploration data count toward it?

Sorry, no idea.
I used to frequent Cubeo a fair bit but have been in HIP 10716 lately - need to check out that dry dock though as looks awesome and I'm betting it will be great in VR.
Which skin package is that on the cutter? Military pack? It does look nice - I like the Cobalt Grey skin on my Viper Mk4.
Yes the data missions between HIP 10716 and Wu Guanigi are super simple to stack up (20 at a time) and I was averaging 1-1.5 hours per rank. I've stopped at Baron as my target was the Clipper currently until I can afford something more expensive...
Anybody fancy an OCUK meetup sometime?
I'm currently at wu guinangi and hip 10716 too, passenger missions seem a little less tonight but plenty of data missions atm, I'm averaging around 2 - 3 % per run, am currently at 15% earl, so only about another 40 runs at that average to get to next rank.
my conda range is 38ly unladen so over 40 is pretty good.
ocuk meetup would be cool all depends on time and day though for me as I work shifts.

Not played for ages but for some reason the idea of passenger missions in my clipper is quite appealing. I assume just strip out all the cargo racks for passenger rooms is the thing to do?
No skin package, just the light the photo was taken in. The whole dry dock was great in VR - it just brings home the scale of everything.
Awesome - just had a fly around Chelomey Orbital last night and noticed there are 2 x dry docks outside the station with 2 x capital ships in dock. Looks like they have been in a recent battle as there was hull damage to both ships...

Need a Little help decided to dust this game off and did a passenger mission.
Arrived at the designated tourist beacon, now what, did not get any message updates, do you have to stay for a while?

Target the beacon itself and scan it. You'll be notified on success and can then go deal with the next step.

I had to abandon mine last night, was in the target system but could not find the beacon at all so quite frustrating. Will try again tonight, and perhaps not pick up 5 missions at the same time...
Go to each planet that you've discovered one by one. It'll show up on the left hand panel as a beacon
I read up the passenger missions are bugged?
The 2nd drop on a beacon visit doesn't show, you have to luck out on planet hoping. Today was most frustrating, after going through this twice today, I got a blasted bounty and blown to bits at the destination station. The last one was Van Royston, a blasted anaconda just happened to be docking up and decided to scan me, nine times out of ten it's an empty run in.
4hrs down the pan, the first time the game has frustrated me.

Folks, is the Guardians a new standalone update or is this still Horizons?
I just installed the game and it says its up to date with Horizons....
How do I know if I got guardians involved? Does steam update auto install this?

Afaik it's part of the horizons, steam auto installs the 2.2 update.
Don't know if you're new to the game or not, but steam might say you have horizons installed, just make sure you reg it at frontiers end, or it won't be active. A mistake I made myself for a couple of weeks.
You'll know if it's all working, the station UI has all changed.
