Nicely done! Here's a small tip: You don't need to use silent running to avoid station and ship scans. There's are many ways with which you can bypass scanning. 1. Popping a heatsink will interrupt the scan (if you keep your ship cold all the time you can avoid npc's starting the scan entirely) 2. Deploying your landing gear will also interrupt the scan 3. Speeding through the mailslot of a station and 200ms+ will prevent it from being able to scan you. (Note: Seeing the "Ship scanned" alert is not dramatic at all, because it only means that the npc is starting a scan and since it takes 5-10s for the npc to fully scan you, you can simply react and dodge it using any of the methods above. It's really easy to pull off, just be ready for it.) Fly dangerously cmdr! o7
Thanks :D I also learned that it is completely unnecessary to avoid scan since the police in Dromi don't even care about that cargo... The ATCs in Mawson probably laughed at me really hard that day. o7 :D
@@BravoDashFive The game shows a text just above your fuel bar if you are carrying anything illegal in a particular system. Some missions are completely illegal, and you can see that before taking them, but I doubt that the starter systems will provide many of these.
Yes, I'm playing the PC version too :D My plan is to learn the game enough to survive NPC pirates before enter the bigger world. I can't even beat a Competent ranked NPC at this moment, so I guess I will stay in the newbie systems for a while. I also noticed the warning text when I actually picked up an illegal cargo (I think it's called Bootleg Liquor or something like that). I abandoned it right before the police showed up to scan me. Anyhow, o7 commander Stroyer. :D
@@BravoDashFive Elite has a very steep learning curve and is a very grindy if you want to progress fast. Which is a nightmare for new players. I can give you tips on where to not waste your time and avoid the mistakes I did, I've pretty much seen all gameplay loops at this point.
