Elite Dangerous (2020)

Just a reminder - 2 hours to departure from Lave to SWOILZ PK-R b20-0 (or nearby) for diamond mining

:laughing::mega: ALL ABOARD!

I’m ready to rock!

Ok, we’re parked in a nearby system again as SWOILZ PK-R b20-0 is full. I’ll leave the carrier here for a while to give time for a bit of asteroidy fun :grin:. Probably jump back next week at some point when it becomes advantageous to sell. I’ll give at least a days warning beforehand.

Cool. Tomorrow night I’ll put a few hours in, see how much a difference the subsurface missle make.

Wow, I arrived under-prepared. My ship’s 16-17LY laden jump range can’t get me anywhere near the target system.

How far away is it?

Nevermind this… mistakes were made.

Re-evaluating…

Ok… @Gunnyhighway

It’s only an 11LY jump.

Problem was me, SWOILZ KP-R B20-0 and SWOILZ PK-R B20-0 are right there together, and I picked the wrong one!

Haha. I’ll be on at some point today if you want to link up in the ring.

:laughing::laughing: I didn’t realise the system names were that similar

Just sold you another 100 tons of LTD’s. The sub-surface missles came in handy. They come flying out of those holes! Also donated the 10 tritium i came across. Drop in the bucket I know, but I can’t use it.

Every little helps :wink:

EDIT: I just looked at the inventory on FCMS and we’ve collected quite a variety of minerals - someone has been busy cracking asteroids methinks :bomb::boom::grinning:

not complaining, but how are you going to turn a profit when the galactic average for LTD’s is ~250k right now? Do we need to find a more profitable mineral to look for? Or are you just playing the economy of scale game?

@Gunnyhighway galactic average is around 250k, but the highest price is currently 1.5M. I’ve set the prices on the carrier to approx 2/3 max bubble price. That way you get the bulk of the profit for doing all the work, and the carrier gets a slice when I sell in the bubble.

Wasn’t aware/must have missed that you had set up the carrier to buy like that. I’ll be sure to sell to the carrier to help pay for the rides I’ve gotten so far. :grin:

@HavlokUK Whens the next planned jump back to the Bubble? Just curious.

It was scheduled for yesterday but I extended our stay as we had jumped away for a couple of days in the week. I was thinking of jumping back maybe Wednesday but could make it sooner if you like.

15,000 light years to go. Hoping another week and I’ll be back.

Sounds like a plan. I’ve actually already made my way back to the bubble. Realized I wasn’t as far along as I thought unlocking engineers, so I’m spending some time working on that. Hopefully I’ll be all finished up and able to link up before you jump back outside the bubble.

Probably be able to buy yourself a fleet carrier after you cash in all your exploration data. :grin:

Didn’t one of the recent updates seriously scale back earnings from exploration data? And also, I’m only stopping to map ELW’s, water worlds, and some terraformable HMC’s. I don’t have the patience any more for full system scans. Besides, I seem to have the worst luck when it comes to making money- been playing since launch, and I’ve never broken the billion spacebuck barrier.

I hadn’t heard that - if they did it went well under the radar

Mining LTDs is the current winning money making meta - use your exploration data earnings to buy a Type-9 and away you go. You’ll be a billionaire before you know it :grin:
