I do use the galactic average and economy types to narrow things down too though...but when I'm out of luck I spread the search a little wider with it... Currently running a 15ly trip taking Beryllium one way and Domestic Appliances back...with 112t cargo that pulls in 194k Cr! Just helped me buy, and A rating upgrade, a Viper for bounty hunting fun in 2 couple hour stints...

Re: the PC Gaming thread
During combat or coming out of cruise?
I'm back doing trade runs. So if you didn't have those credits available for insurance you'd be screwed right? Or does the cargo your carrying count towards it aswell? |

Re: the PC Gaming thread
I had issues yesterday with trading transactions erroring and by the looks of it people still are...I'm holding off on doing any big trades until I see something from the devs on the forum here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=90388

Cargo is lost, as are any bounties not cashed in or planetary scans If I didn't have the rebuy credits in the bank I would have lost that Viper, all 3 million credits worth Quote:

Re: the PC Gaming thread
After seeing the "Rares" tab on the tool you suggested, I have now gone from 200k credits to 500K including A rating my FSD.
Gonna do a few more runs and get something a bit livelier than the Hauler. Had my issues tho, got stuck in a star's heat cloud and had to take the hit on my shields to going down to 55% to get out using the supercruise. All good fun! P.S. I tried sending in game chat but they always failed, maybe cos I'm still in solo play? (I'm RedArchangel by the way but I'm sure you'd guessed that!) |

Re: the PC Gaming thread
Yeah, I've added you in as a friend, chances are we'd both need to be in open or private group play to talk....I've created a private group under my name "kaivalagi", join that and we can meet up easily, just request to join and I'll accept! Then when you want we can jump to a common place maybe?
I am currently based at "charunder" if you want to see where that might take you? I have a nice 1700+ Cr/ton 15ly single jump round trip you may want to use for a while... Never done rares Oh, today I royally screwed up...getting cocky with speed around stations I thought I could out accelerate a python out of dock by retracting landing gear, hitting up thruster, aiming and boosting....I managed to slam the wall next to the slit and explode...500k insurance and 900k cargo lost lol! Made it back in 2 hours though and added an extra 1 Mil buffer since too...I now have 3mil cash and 13mil in assets from 2 ships....onwards and upwards!

Re: the PC Gaming thread
Yeah I'll join up, Charunda sounds familiar so I'll check.
I was heading to "Any Na" to collect another Rare item. Rares are good for the smaller craft because you can carry 6 or 8 items and make 100K+ on the trip. Bad bit is that you need to be heading 160lys from where you got them to make that money. Planning a route over that distance is tricky though. The map is not designed for those kind of distances. I mean technically as long as your heading away from the source of the item, who cares you'll still make big money, but ideally I want to get to another Rare source so I can carry on with the scheme. I managed to Pinball around a station too after the keyboard stopped responding, after switching to one of the HUD screens and back all controls returned but I managed to smash into the port 3 times! Weirdly no damaged sustained from it though. |

We could do a rare run together maybe? I assume you've learn how to run when interdicted? It'll be good when wings functionality turns up, I think then we'll be able to travel more as one etc
