I love this humour with this music that plays when you use the Auto-Land Module.

Da-da-da--dum---dum----duuuummm....

Oh and some cheeky beggar was after my 2 fish cargo, after taunting me over comms he exited the jump just after me and took a shot at my peasant ship, i was ready to fight to death over 2 fish but the police intervened :eek::D


PS: no idea if that was AI or real? i see a lot of ships but how do you tell what's real and what's AI?
 
AI and get used to it. Anytime you are carrying cargo, AI ships interdict you and you can tell real players from NPC's by:

Real players name is - CMDR <insert name>
NPC's name is - John Smith (notice no CMDR)
Solid triangle/square on the HUD = NPC's
outlined triangle/square on the HUD = Real players

If you see a triangle that is outlined, that means they are behind you (real players) and you could possibly be getting interdicted (pulled out of supercruise) and have to fight or run.
 
Have gone from 28mill to 75mill in a few hours, main reason its not higher is down to me being wanted by the time I get back to cash in and getting blown up...
Seems they dont like you hitting the other things around the skimmers lol

Annoyingly you also now get NPCs called CMDR or Commander, I think maybe frontier recycle player names for the NPCs? anyone able to confirm this? And some real players have called the characters CMDR x or Commander x
 
Dropped back on, no missions from The Order anymore, however there are some from the Jet guys...
 
are there any good cash runs atm, sothis and ceos have dried up wu guinagi seems very poor atm, and draconis 17 is apparently no good anymore, where to go to make money.
 
17 Draconis is still on, missions have moved from The Order to the Jet Bridge Inc, but still pulling 1m> per mission, highest so far is 11m odd..
 
I've been collecting stuff from ship wrecks, now my cargo hold is full, what do i do with the stuff in it?
 
So need to get back into ED but not really played it since they brought out the engineers updates... I just don't think I can get back into it... any pointers now with the engineers update?

Thanks,

Stelly

Quick question - is your cargo hold full or is your materials hold full? Or both?

Currently you need materials and commodities (cargo) for some engineers. Depends what you have :) You also need data items

I used this website to understand what I needed and when

I had the same feeling Stelly. It felt overwhelming. But I did it slowly and now I have an A-rated engineered Corvette that rapes PvE

Buy a wake scanner for data. My ASP can now hit 45Ly and that was a std roll

Right hand panel - 4th tab

There's cargo - for commodities that you pick up. You can eject this for others to pick up
There's materials - stuff you cannot eject to someone else. Max 1000
Data - which you also cannot eject for others
Synthesis - for more complicated stuff later
