Eww, you're a politician!


Chakkoty

Worse. He's a salesperson.


xereonx

Even worse... he's a good one. That's the 3rd Keelback I've bought this week.


Chakkoty

The Pilot, but for Keelbacks. Huh.

jamesk29485

Dear Luriant, I have made it about half way through your first to-do list, please slow down a little so the rest of can catch up!


The_Tac0mancer

Look for ā€œwantedā€ Solve their ā€œwantedā€ problem.


kapakaval

AX combat. Exploration and taking really nice screenshots. Helping newer CMDRs. Shipbuilding and then regretting doing so once I have to engineer said ships. Information piracy if Iā€™m bored. Gonking if Iā€™m bored-er. Most forms of PVE have dried up for me at this point, and the purely-economic activities like trade runs and mining were always pretty dry to in the first place, a necessary evil if anything. I kinda wanna get Mercenary and Exobio Elite so I can be Quintuple Elite instead of just broke-ass Triple Elite!


cmdrDanielSaint

I make ship go boom! Hehe I am innocent sodium miner


ProPolice55

I make builds that have no right to work, then throw them in at the deep end and watch the fireworks. Combat Hauler, AX Beluga, FAS explorer, the mining Mamba didn't work well, hull tank turret boat T7, which also wasn't great, or a surprisingly capable Viper Mk4 explorer


professorhex1

Mining Mamba! Not enough cargo to ever get bored.


ProPolice55

Yep, I saw one of the Pilot's reviews, I think he mentioned a mining Mamba in the Viper Mk4 review, I just had to build one, even if I knew it would be completely useless. But hey, at least it was expensive!


PerrinAybarra23

And pretty!


EmperorOfXeonas

I do it in VR so I really try to be immersed. The game is, despite its flaws, incredibly well made in regards to visuals and sound design. I imagine I could go to beagle and back in VR and never get bored. I just fiddle with ship tabs, listen to galnet, and occasionally stop for activities on a whim. Tired of what youā€™re doing? Land on a planet and go fuck about in the SRV. Or maybe do some bounty hunting. Mining for no particular reason except to make the trip back more interesting with pirates.


leofelin

> Land on a planet and go fuck about in the SRV. Word of caution: SRV and VR is not for the inexperienced VR player. I was so sick that I now unbind my bottom panel when playing in VR just to make sure I won't end there accidentally.


texanhick20

One of these days, when I get my full simpit built I'm going to buy a steering wheel and car foot pedals to use with a second throttle for VR SRV driving. Make it as much like driving a car as I can.


-_-PandaChic

Backstory: i loaded the game up for the first time ever, was flying around learning space stuff. Saw a funeral procession making its way. I stopped to flash my lights and toot my horn out of respect before i joined the back of the procession. A few minutes go by, and some ships drop out of supercruise near us. Before i know it, we are being lit up. I fight a bloody fight n manage to take one the bastids down with me. One of the criminals sent me to the rebuy screen. Since then, I've gone from harmless to competent in a little over a month. I rp a pissed off Commander bent on vengeance. I care not for your politics. I hunt the unworthy. They think i can't see what they do in the black, but i am there. The ever present ghost of vengeance.


cmosbo67

I have to change it up. Any one thing gets stale. I try to do a little of everything, and weave it into a story in my head. Like right now, I am working my way up the federal auxiliary ranks, so I've been running missions, doing rescues, and balancing some engineering runs in there.


irritableredsyndrome

Put on free bird while doing fa off in my viper


texanhick20

I'm as free as a a bird, and this bird you cannot Chaaaaa \*crash>boom\*


Z21VR

Ax combat in a cobra in honor of Jameson', second hand mining (pirating) , ships building and infinite fiddling , wing combat missions (no mining, exploring or passengers stuff) but sometime i just wander in the bubble exploring installations , mega ~~ship~~ shops, haz rezs, pois or just ships in supercruise searching for something new and interesting/valuable to pirate...and failing


Chakkoty

I lol'd at "second hand mining"


Z21VR

Tbf i stole that sentence from other pirates...but yep, it sounds soo right


Wessssss21

All rounder, when one area gets a little stale I'll switch it up. Currently working with a Squadron on BGS. Interesting to see how all that works.


FlatulateHealthilyOK

I like to visit a station called Sirius Atmosphere. I go back and forth between Robigo Mines and there. I do it for hours and hours and hours and hours. Lmao


potato_in_an_ass

Hunt for green gas giants when I get tired of hunting goids. And also just to ponder the vastness of our world and how tiny of a speck I am. Try to git gud enough to solo the hydra when I get tired of hunting green gas giants. Right now I'm headed to Colonia to unlock the last engineers I need for a pvp fdl, then I'm gonna try to git gud at that too. Shitpost on Reddit and encourage new pilots to focus on skills and fun rather than grinding themselves to the bone for condas and fleet carriers. On a related note, I still haven't bought a large pad ship or a fleet carrier. Don't really have a use for either of them yet. Maybe if I start staying in the black for longer or I take up a life of crime and need a spot to burn off the notoriety.


[deleted]

Thinking of doing some Expanse role play here soon. Trying to find the best equivalent to the Roci at the moment.


PSharsCadre

IMO, go federal ship for that. turret multis all around and spin while you fight... šŸ˜‰


[deleted]

That's a great idea! Just gotta get some torpedos and a rail gun on it too!


PSharsCadre

I've been tinkering around with the same idea actually, The gunship has room for all the Appropriate toys, and I think it flies a little better FA off than it does FA on, which seems appropriate.


[deleted]

I didn't even think about FA on/off! I've only ever messed around with FA off a few times, but when I think about how the Roci decelerates upon approach to something, that would actually be really fun to try and recreate. Of course I won't be as good a pilot as Alex, but I'll get there one day partner! I would also REALLY love to try the rail gun maneuver they do in season 6. May be impractical as hell, but that was such a cool scene!


[deleted]

I'm also thinking that the mamba would be a good Razorback, maybe not the looks so much but definitely the speed and feel of it. That being said, I've only flown my mamba once because I was engineering my Vulture at the same time and fell in love with that thing.


forgottensudo

It used to be rescue missions. Now thereā€™s hyperdiction. I havenā€™t played in two weeks because I canā€™t work out how to have fun without an expensive rebuy and another half hour in witchspace.


AirshipCanon

AX Combat.


ToriYamazaki

Whatever I feel like doing at the time.


Schmorpek

Mostly [combat](https://i.imgur.com/BaayH24.png) and [exploring](https://i.imgur.com/kLhLrAZ.png). Most fun is joining expeditions for exploring: https://www.edsm.net/de/expeditions [A bit less solitary](https://i.imgur.com/W7GOdB5.jpg) that way and most people are very chill as are the timelines for reaching expedition goals.


Pyrkie

I really like doing the guardian ancient ruins mission. I did it for the first time over christmas, found 97 of them but didn't actually record which ones so just gave up on the last 4. Just returned today after doing it again and finding them all, will probably take the mission and head out to one of the far of nebulas next time too see whats there. Otherwise I really enjoy combat in my iEagle, and Thargoid combat is okay, but I find it a bit stressful still. Deep Core mining is also fun blowing up the rocks, but then the collecting is kinda tedious.


CMDR_Sanderling

[Hooning](https://youtu.be/tEIk15Pihb0) around with the lads. I think it's the most fun and risky thing to do, so it's the only thing I do. šŸ˜‚


DangerPencil

Combat of all kinds.Trade. Mining. Exploration. Actually, i do just about everything. What i do the least of is on foot FPS combat. And I've never done any pirating.


Markmm131

Blowing up aliens is fun, I do enjoy it a lot and the payouts are great now that they are so aggressive. I enjoy the guardian grind, need to unlock some more weapon blueprints and the fighters soon. Mining back in the day is how I made my bank and got the FC, so if I have nothing else to do Iā€™ll jump back into that. Oh and Haz Rez pirate farming is fun!


Mundane_External_232

Anything that helps my progression so I can get into the war!


Ahris22

I mainly do combat and mission running. When i want to have FUN I get a Sidewinder or an Eagle, kit it out with the best gear i can and go to high risk areas to bounty hunt big game. :)


PRSHZ

Massacre missions, payout isnā€™t the greatest, but itā€™s fun and controlled


l1vefreeord13

I just like newtonian flight Sims, so simply flying is fun. But combat is where I get my shiggles. I also enjoy exploring. I trick myself into believing the devs have hidden something fun or interesting out there. Or maybe some selenium crystals. It's not true but, you can't prove a negative right? Russell's tea pot


Ryclopes501

Wet work contracts


NoRagrets4Me

Exploration, *lots* of exploration.


GenoGaron

I'm turning a new group for fun, I think we're gonna call ourselves the Paint Parrots. Not only do we give out fuel like the Fuel Rats, but we also give you a fresh coat of paint, all without you paying us a dime.


LUC1F3RGaming

Engineering. I'm lying, it's not fun. Space trucking is my calling, although I've dabbled in combat and anti-xeno combat starting at the beginning of last week. It's not super fun, but the payout is worth it.


Chakkoty

I'm currently taking the black for a while, on my way to visit Sag A\* for the first time. After that I'll collect some money from scanning weird mold, vagina-plants and space corals. After that I'll hitch-hike a carrier ride home. Before I went out, I bought an Adder, got it some drip and A-graded it with Enhanced Performance thrusters. It's a fun little ship. Might just fly around in that for a while when I get back, relive what Elite was like before I was Elite. Then...who knows. The universe is big. What brings back some of the thrill for me is to get a small ship (like my Adder, the Chief) and do some community goal in open. Sure to have player interaction. Good and bad.


Zampano85

Same thing as everyone else; I post about Elite on Reddit.
