That mission fail thing's been happening for quite a while now.

I've not played in a week or two but I was getting plagued by it at Robigo Mines.

I have killed a few commanders but not many. Most of the time it has been when I have been pulled out of Supercruise and demanding my cargo (of which I had none and was war ready ) But that was quite a long time ago (pre wings) and also had quite a few combat loggers back then as well. Give it till they realise they are under-powered and then quit.

I've joined Mobius, seemed the best way to interact with real people without the possibility of being interdicted for no reason other than someone wants combat.

Speaking of combat, here's a vid of me debating whether to do my best Rimmer impression whilst in my Viper MkIV vs a Federal Assault Ship. I'm going mining soon so will likely do one of those 'how to mine' vids (which will probably be full of bad practice & mistakes since I'm still learning stuff ).

Good old Mobius and that is all I play in myself now also. I haven't been on for a month or so but getting time for me to get back to it as my other games are starting to bore me and VR needs some loving.

Here is me with a couple of the guys in Mobius

Combat was fun then

And here is a combat logger I recorded.... Funny stuff

i know that guy, he an annoying french guy that thinks hes right all the time, and frankly annoys most of the people of the lave radio teamspeak..

 

[Gregster]

Tell him to come look at this vid next time he is being annoying

 

[Showboat]

haha, never seen a combat logger before! Was he trying to take your corvette out with an asp?

 

[Gregster]

My Conda he was and it was proper built for war as well

It was the bit about destroying my ship if I didn't do as I was told that really made me laugh but sadly people were doing a CG back then and most ran a Conda without decent shields to make more use of storage space and so made themselves easy targets (Like I do in my trade fitted Cutter).

 

[Gregster]

Right, so decided to get back into this and see what is what. I am pretty well geared up with Engineers, so what should I be looking to do guys? I am Elite in Combat and Trading and only have exploration to go but not too sure I want to do that right off the bat. So any suggestions welcomed

Great vids, great ship & yeah lol... I sense he probably took a while to come up with that 'stand and deliver' speech to cut'n'paste... & then only to chicken out! When I runaway I do it 'honourably' by putting all the pips in to engines, shields, & hitting the trust and frame shift buttons, though the only time I'll ever probably interdict anyone is an NPC as part of a mission.

I'm still a newbie really & discovering how to do stuff, and I actually prefer doing it via experimentation. Here's my cunning plan to unlock the Engineer Selena Jean using limpets

The Alien Ruins are worth a look if you haven't been imho just because they are really impressive to drive around (the towers that rise from the ground where you get some artefacts from are really to watch if catch one). I solved a couple of the obelisks then headed back, but I'll be going out there sometime again soon to see the other layout that has been found.

 

[Gregster]

Good shout on the ruins and will do that thanks. Mining is one of the most relaxing things I find but go for Pristine metal rings if you want to get into it. Not sure what Selena needs for unlocking but nice vid there

Here is me Mining in a Cutter, which worked out very profitable and got me the Samarium I needed for one of the Engineers

Edit:

No idea what youtube have done but that used to be 1080P

 

[Besty]

Yeah mining looks like a sweet way to spend time, I just think you need a big enough ship to be able to handle bandits, I think a Python would be the smallest viable ship to mine in an Anarchy system without a buddy to swat away the pesky blighters?

LOL

 

[ScreamWorker]

interested in this, is there a trial to check it out first ?

You don't need to mine in a Res area. Just drop in to the rings anywhere and then boost about 8km away and mine in total peace.

 

[B&W]

any chance of this coming out for the ps4?

Worth it! Don't forget to accept the 100m credit mission from Felice Dock in Mene en route!

You just need to refine 500t of anything then deliver 10t of painite (which I think I can buy but not sure). Anyway, I think I've found a quicker method ...

Cool. I'm not sure I'll every pick up a large 'sport... I'm not the greatest pilot yet but I do like nimble ships. My current next ship target is an Imperial Clipper which looks like a good compromise between a 'fighter' and a 'sport'. It looks too!

Funny you should mention that, yesterday I uploaded me unlocking Felicity Farseer & YouTube compressed the heck out of my 1080p to the point that in some places there is digital banding and even pixelisation. Not a great way to compete with Twitch.

 

[Trig]

I dismissed the 100 million relic thing, dunno where they all are and cba lol

 

[Besty]

Cutter is the biggest trading ship but it is absolutely massive. i saw my first cutter coming in through a dock yesterday and took up the whole letterbox.
