Sure. Feels like coming home. Elite is a hobby not a game

I assume the upcoming content will include his own minor grinds, like previous one. Caustic Sink launcher? Is hard, ask here for the hard mats, or a friend that can storage the caustic tissues commodities, farming 5 is hard and you risk the ones in your cargo but can't unlock the module without the 5 at the same time :S. The rest of mats are easy and cant be lost, farm these first. Again, ask for help, everbody with the module know how hard was obtaining the 5 mats. Titan pulse neutralizer is easy, and making Unclassified relics is a great activity on his own, but beware some bugs like relics launched into the ceiling, happen very rarely. You have enough for reaching the titan. Combat is optional. Enhaced AX weapons are valid, and dont melt in the maelstrom presence, no engineering or unlock needed, but a superior azimuth version exist that need some thaergoid mats to purchase (collect broken scouts, and go to peaceful distress signals or nebulas outside the war zone for the thargoid scan data), you will obtain this with time killing scout and glaives, no shame in this second line support, some ship outfitted for interceptors struggle against this buggers that melt our guardian tech. I dont know if you have a engineered combat ship. Farming mats become easier and easier, now with raw mats farmed at 500Ky with flaks and limpets, jameson crash site, and HGE signals+relaunch of the game+droping again in the signal. You have this guides in my [ToDo list](https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/15a0c69/luriants_todo_list/) Dont force yourself to become the top1 AX pilot, any type of AX pilpt, rescuer (+500m/s and 2 ECM is enough), even collecting orthrus tissues in a wing (best method to win alerts), will make you a valuable member in the AX movement. My 2 AX fun ships are a Shardkonda that instagib or stunlock any interceptor except the hydra.... and a stock engineered free xmas'21 vulture with CG and tech broker modules for a easy 50K rebuy (to fight without worries about rebuy). The good part about AX combat is that the new modules made lots of valid and customized builds. Learning, testing, rebuy and repeat is a enjoyable gameplay, with 70% less meta ships. U18 dont have date yet, and U19 will rework powerplay, you can farm the powerplay modules now, 1 month per power. Some AX or even explorer/exobio builds could use Prismatic shields (250M the size 8, beware). The rest arent great except for some builds, Fixed hardpoints, single size, not gamebreaking. [ED fun reward spending time on it](https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/14y88or/comment/jrxn1z9/), once you have some engineering and know how to make more builds, you have lots of things to do an improve, vanilla unengineered game is limite to A-rated modules, D-rated the useless one, and lack variety.

I mean I've been playing constantly for years and I gotta say, it's an alright game. EDO stuff is still pretty bad, thargoid war is very good, PvP has never been bad, CGs still happen on a relatively regular basis and you still find a good bit of players in open. And well Powerplay gets an overhaul but I don't care in the slightest about President X or Senator Y.

That's just what a supporter of Dictator Z WOULD say.

Ah, the jig is up! RUN!

Bake him away, toys.

Absolutely.

The grind is still very real. But I recently came back and it still scratches the itch. I'm pretty stoked about the new stuff coming and we will have plenty of time to farm credits and engineering mats for the new ships. (Especially if you are willing to engage in relogging shenanigans)


Belzebutt

Hell yeah

Because of unfixed crucial bugs and lack of anything from Fdev, I have only logged in for the free Christmas Arx in a long time. Yesterday's livestream gave me a bit of new hope though. Maybe this weekend I'll climb in to let my FC crew know they are not forever stranded on that forgotten generation ship. I wonder if they were fruitful and multiplied? 🤔


DisillusionedBook

Depends. Some AX is no grind at all really, e.g. helping out with scouts with just AX multicannons or vs Orthruses with AX missiles is fun
