Onionhead on special at Cassie-L-Peia in Tanmark 35T + 6T Tranquil tea. Jump to Tranquility in Tarach Tor for Tarach Spice. quick credits :) I sure wish they would get a shuttle running. I got a Vulture in Lugh, but eventually sold it back because I couldn't get it geared the way I wanted. Spent way too long shuttling around in a freewinder between stations. I am used to my Asp with a near 200 ly range without refueling, and being able to go faster than 13 mph. I'll stick to exploring and trading for a while.

I finally found a nice route that includes some 10 stops (all rares) and running that loop in my T6 earns me about 1.6 mil but if I wait a few minutes for re-spawns, like on my last run , I can earn about 2.2mil.

Finally making some cash in the damn game! Trying to earn a T7 then Python.

been jumping into the low intensity open zones in Gautama for Tarach Tor Council - pretty busy but gave more than I got. Flying my A Spec Cobra w/ shield and hull boost and it's pretty durable and its speed seems to compensate for the lack of agility. The lower weapons are a pain to get on target though. Only got killed once and cashed about 50k in bounties/bonds.

Any PCA peeps needs some credits for ED?

Post by wvjohn »

Long story short, I got tired grinding & selling parts off one ship to get $$ for another so I bought some credits (I know ;) ) By doing so I got entered in a drawing, which I won (I thought it was probably just a come-on scam). 1.5 billion credits. In my pocket. So I've got way more than I need, happy to share, which can only be done right now by dropping cargo to scoop. If anybody's interested, lmk. We can get in a wing and I can drop a bunch of that stuff they use for jewelry which is about $40k per ton I think. 50 tons of that will get you a T6.

What system you in? I might take you up on it. I've got a T6 that will happily scoop up some good stuff. ;)

I'm in Zaonce. If you're in Leesti, you're apparently like 8 LY away. Howdy neighbor.

I'm working from home tomorrow, so hit me up. I'll PM you my contact info.

There's a few of us here that are playing. The game has been undergoing lots of changes lately.
I have not "pledged" with any particular power. I've chosen to stay independent. ;)

I haven't done much gaming lately, but I keep ED updated. I'm just ignoring the powerplay stuff atm - don't see any upside. Genom, I can hook you up with some credits if you want. We'll just have to schedule it when you get back.

I am back in town. Will probably get through the tutorials tonight and have a clue on what to do after that. Usually best times for me are after 10PM EST, but I can work something earlier if needed. Just let me know.

Thanks!
