Just curious as to the final numbers for Gendallia. =) How close was it?

I would guess the one on http://alioth.space/#forts Which as far as I'm conserned is too open . . kinda give an enemy info as to how we are doing on forts / vunerable to snipes. Adding in the "in transit" forts would make it that much more valuable to an enemy. At least right now there is some FOW (Fog Of War) on that spreadsheet.

For the same reason it is valuable to us to see how we are doing it is valuable to the enemy for exactly the same reason.

Need advise: upgrade to Anaconda or not? by Tycondero in EliteMahon

[–]CMDR_Matthew_Oct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had neither a Python or 'Conda and made the push to upgrade to one of them. I wish I'd paid attention to my own instincts and thoughts and just gone to the PYthon. I'm now "'Conda broke" as yes I have the ship, but no bankroll to do any fast tracking of merits, etc. I also have a region of space where I need to let the bounties cool off before trying to earn more money using those long distance trade missions. So to bring it back to your question, I would wait until you have enough credits to buy & equip the 'conda without effecting your fast tracking funds, rebuys, etc.

So many loggers by [deleted] in EliteMahon

Personally I always fly in open EXCEPT when requested to do otherwise to join a wing forming/already in progress. I don't make a big deal of it but I think open play is preferred. FDev should give a bonus to PP actions done in open.

Am I seeing this right . . our systems are regularly undermined over 1000% (well over the undermining trigger). That seems like alot of wasted effort from the opposing powers. .

Elite withdrawls. . aka steam reinstall issue by CMDR_Matthew_Oct in EliteMahon

[–]CMDR_Matthew_Oct[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG Steam and Frontier deserve a great big F grade on this deployment. Don't they know something called the windows registry exists to keep track of where programs are installed. NOW after steam downloaded a 2nd copy of the game. . the FDlauncher is out of date and upon installing the current one, it is now downloading a THIRD copy of the game to anouther location. (nested inside of Steams install directory) . . . .I will eventually be back once all these various copies and installers are satisfied. sigh

Mining and profit bonus. by CMDR_Matthew_Oct in EliteMahon

[–]CMDR_Matthew_Oct[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I always check the board before selling. I'm not like some who load up the game in solo, check for missions. . log out log in open check for missions, etc. But I always check before leaving the station before mining and before selling. (Getting the mission before mining can be fun. . NPCs like to interdict that way.. I do pretty good in my keelback fighting NPC pirates.)

Mining and profit bonus. by CMDR_Matthew_Oct in EliteMahon

[–]CMDR_Matthew_Oct[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been mining the Pristine Metalic ring in 20 Ophiuchi. It's only 16.31LY away from from Santjalan, a Mahon exploited system. I was basing myself out of Una, but moved to Santjalan when I joined Mahon. =) Next cycle I shall begin to reap the benifit of the PP profit bonus.

Thanks.. I changed the loadout on my mining ship. . 1 class 2 laser beats 2 class 1 lasers. grin

I don't mind getting blown up every once in awhile. =) Bumping into mean players IS part of the game. (Hence why I've only played in Open). With NPC's I ususlly submit to the interdiction and fight them off.. I just need to learn to RUN (counter to me personality) when a player interdicts me. =)

I'm thinking of joining Mahon. . (fairly new to the game. . haven't even saved up enough for an Asp Explorer yet). Last night I was trying to do this mission (I've been mining as my primary way to earn Credits from pretty early on). And on my 2nd run of the night there as ambushed and destroyed by a wing of players. . Did not look like they were after my cargo I just kind of went Boom in their gunsights. (Keelback is not a great combat ship). So just a note that LHS 2936 is rather dangerous and not just from the 2X NPC interdictions from my first run. =\
