Ok don't quite get two things...
CG - so basically its a unified goal of doing "something" in a system based on whats on galnet? And if you are in the top x% you get y credits?
Powers (e.g. Zachary above) - similar to CG? I.e. you do certain mission to get as many merits as possible?

Yer, whatever the CG is, everyone can join in on doing what the CG is (deliver goods/kill pirates etc) and when the time is finished, depending on where you ended up (top 5% perhps), depends on your payout and benefits.
PP is slightly different but pretty much the same (if that makes sense) you are battling others this time though but striving for the same effect and you get your payout/benefits each week.
no idea, i just went into the conflict zone, sold all bonds and then check the CG mission every now and then.
Other than keeping an eye on the CG thread and seeing when others have jumped a tier you don't.
A Thrustmaster Hotas X is another great option and is a lot cheaper. I've got one and can't fault it.
If you've got a microphone then get the VoiceAttack software for about £5 - it really adds to the immersion
So in helping with the CG (although a Cobra isn't really suitable for the combat bonds or metal deliveries) I've found the station also has Diamondback Explorers and Scouts as available ships. I've not looked at them in any great detail so, compared to a Vulture or my current Cobra, are they any good? Do they have decent cargo space, weaponry, shields and manoeuvrability?
Quite annoyed with myself...
Hopped back in for the weekend. Went to Robigo for the CG..... 480 Ly jump and a pain TBH
Qualified for the CD in an hour or so, then to the top 40% after 3 hours/// BUT got a bounty and have had to leave. For some unknown reason, it is 15 K and 7 day's.... Oh well....

Don’t worry I have my shopping list for Elite.
Voice attack has been on it a while, love what it adds to the game. Also a few Voice packs. Who does not want a talking ship to command with Brian Blessed voice!

In a few years the VR goggles will make track IR old hat so removed it from my list.
Ok... I tried... I really tried... I so want to love this game....
But everytime I do a mission to blow up some pirates or bounty hunters etc, I seem to just spend my entire evening looking for them in signal sources....
And I found myself just nodding off between searching for them....
Im getting so ticked off with this..

Likewise tbh. I really struggled with this the other day. If I do find a target, there's 3/4 of them and I get mullered in seconds.
I have a fully equipped Eagle for bounty hunting and cruise round RES sites and Nav beacons taking out targets. For about 2 mil now and gonna keep plugging away until I can afford a bigger better ship and maybe go exploring etc. Maybe a pilgrimage to Sol.
I wish the game had a more social hub, a better more interactive way of grouping together and playing out missions, sharing resources etc. I think that would be great.

That sums up my frustration with the game too. I'm an Explorer, but if I want to try more aggressive missions it is sooo frustrating...
You need to be picky about the missions you are taking, don't take missions to kill pirates that is in a system where there are no resource extraction sites as they will be difficult to find. Check distances to stations before accepting delivery missions, you do not want to be Hutton'd, there are so many missions that will just lead to frustration you really need to look at what they are asking you to do before accepting. If you do take pirate kill missions for a system with no RES sites then you are going to either have to spend a while dropping into unknown signal sources (weak will not do, strong will but solo will be dodgy...), interdicting whatever shows up in supercruise or load a ton or two of gold into your hold and hope to be interdicted.
I absolutely understand the frustration but it is in the main avoidable with a little planning and research.
Seems Sunday night server issues are with us again, FD need to get that sorted, I think that's about three or four weeks running now

Sigh, thanks for this post bud. I am so close to uninstalling ... SWTOR and FSX are waiting to be played...
So you are saying if I want to kill pirates/bount hunters best to do it at RES?
Also how do I find the new Hazardous sites?
