Looks like very much fun. But a very steep learning curve. How would I even start playing this game? How many career resets before you start learning the interdiction mechanics and strategies?
I would suggest going a Facebook group or something similar. This game is fantastic but the learning cover is almost vertical lol. facebook.com/groups/EliteDangerousGroup/?ref=share_group_link
interdicted me once with bob ,and ( start shooting me right away), followed me around 15 jumps , before i get to safety on my carrier ,owell 07 cmdr fellow cobra pirate
Hey Deavo just got elite dangerous and Started playing literally yesterday. I also make content but its For MechWarrior Online. However im thinking of Getting into this game. You were the first video thumbnail i saw that intrigued me. And since im also an underdog Content creator id rather support our kind rather than the big guys. Anyways I don't know anything about the game and just began so I'm sure I'll come back and Ask You some questions or tips. Keep it up
Welcome to the galaxy. Us small people need to stick together! Thank you for the comment! There is some good Facebook groups out there also. Some are better than others. This one is worth checking out o7 facebook.com/groups/EliteDangerousGroup/?ref=share_group_link
I love Elite, but this is the reason why I play only in solo mode. After few times being ganged but [always] 4 players I don't enjoy running away all every time. And some people just have to prove they are better. So as much I liked PvP in EVE, here I just enjoy flying. Still, for 8 units of grain... I salut you :)
They are playing the role of pirates. Piracy is about dominance not fairness. You don't need to run away, you can just give up some cargo and that will be you for the rest of the day. But if you prefer solo then just play the game the way you like it.
An annoying tactic you can try is to just head out into the middle of nowhere and fly, for, example, up and out of the main orbital plane, and come in from some extremely weird angle. Or if you want to be extra annoying, just keep going out for a very long time, high wake out, and force them to waste time yourself. Yeah it's a bit of a douche move, but so what? xP
Who knows… I have 10.5b showing as assists on INARA but over the years I will have spent more I am sure. My tips for trading builds is simple, don’t be greedy with a shieldless build, it needs to be able to take more than one shot. I remember getting my drives shot out by an Eagle NPC!!! I was in a slow T9 but it just shows that it’s not just PvP that needs a decent build. Sorry, you didn’t ask about builds but I am easily distracted 😆
Ok, wow, I honestly had made this as a snide comment, but thank you for actually going into detail. I hope that it helps someone else who tries to do this in the future.
@@cmdrscooby1429 Welp over 20 minutes of pursuit even across different systems seems pretty unrelenting to me CMDR... I'm probably just getting old... o7 volare insaniens
Yeah, but in fairness the extra shield booster may have saved my bacon. But, yeah you’re right, especially when I purposely went looking for pirates to play with lol.
PvP Piracy isnt about money. It's about role playing and creating a different type of player interaction that doesn't necessarily end in pvp and isn't ganking.
It's about having fun. If all I wanted to do in game was make money, I'd be in mahlanja every time I logged on and would run trade missions until I turned the game off. Why play games when you could work IRL and make real money. Games are supposed to be fun and some people enjoy the chase of pvp piracy.
the game is boring af apart from the awesome framework. there is nothing to do of any substantial value in terms of fun, so people start to create their own fun. game is empty and idk what the devs have been doing for the last half a decade, at this point, (and i never thought there would be a day where i say this, because it seemed like a scam) but star citizen, minus all the half baked stuff and the major issues like bugs and performance, at the time of writing this, has more things and more fun things to do than E:D. crazy times we live in.

Sad I lost my view of this but great video. You should have taken the 5 tons for 24 hour pass I offered. 😂
But where was the fun in that lol.
@@deavo74 Thanks for the cargo was a fun robbery 🤣
Very sad you lost your view. I’ve been ignoring that statement for 2 days hoping it wasn’t true.
that must have been some pristine grain
Awesome vid showing a fun evening of cat and mouse, fantastic skills dude gg...... .and yes as always I arrived too late lol 🤣🤣🍻🏴☠️o7
T’was a fun time o7
I was in YIN sector swapping ships 🤦
Which seemingly worked well for me.
That's some great evasion there
I’m not too bad at running away, lots of practice 🤣
Excellent, this is what Open is supposed to be like. Nice job everybody 👌
Totally agree
That ship on the thumbnail looked like a PCB with 4 USB ports.
That made me chuckle lol.
Someone stole your stolen grain. Oh the irony. ;)
Indeed. I had to sell it on the black market.

Isn't this kinda the point of the game it's a space simulator after all and pirates just have to be there but then again whatever you like I guess

@cmdrdulldave6986 hello there CMDR. I knew they were there, I did this as a bit of a fun test. Solo is something I avoid. o7
@@deavo74 Yeah I know, I was replying to the "This is why I play solo" comment.

So how many thousands have you spent on individual ships?

You mean millions if any thing worth flying.
Good job :)
Reason I play solo/private...
To avoid having some fun? Your call.
@@deavo74 If i wanted unrelenting buggers hunting me all around the place I'd visit my niece and nephew. Definetly not something I'd call fun

Imagine cargo running with no PD
Yeah, but in fairness the extra shield booster may have saved my bacon. But, yeah you’re right, especially when I purposely went looking for pirates to play with lol.
Well if they simply attack and don't hatchback, the shield boosters could save your life
They're helpful against npc's but pretty useless against players ✌🍻🏴☠️
point defence..
Yeah a few have mentioned this… Actually I mentioned this. However when it comes to PvP I feel a shield boosters probably saved me.
you did mention this, and on reflection I think you are probably right, because you survived and succeeded wd. Nice video btw and thanks for sharing.
And thank you for dropping by o7
i dont get why they are pirating, seems like such a waste of time in that game when theres so much more profitable things to do

God some people are pathetic...
Hello there. May I enquire as to whom this was directed at?
Everyone in this video is having fun playing a video game. So who is pathetic?
You’re not wrong o7
Manufactured content at it's finest
Manufactured?
In that I knew they were there? Yes.
Did I know they are PvP pirates? Yes.
Did I make the trip thinking I maybe able to make a video from it? Yes.
Did they know what I was doing? No.

LOL, I made 4 million with my Cobra in like two runs.
I think you may have missed the point. I can make 100 million in two runs. It wasn’t about the money.
@@deavo74 It was about the 2 grain, I know. But why the hassle ?
I mean on one end you have a guy trying to deliver 2 grain,
while the pirates were hellbent on scoring that.
I mean futility must have a reason right ?
Reminds me on the content of cmdr Isinona. o7
I had to search for this one. Not done a video in 4 years! Nearly 20k subs as well. Seems a shame.
Why dont you just play in solo, lmao
Where’s the fun in that? 🫡
🤦
Cause this guy is not a true trader, if you dont get that you dont know the game at all. :D
