Will we ever get to walk around in our ships?

I BELIEVE I CAN FLY: AIRBORN SRV CONTEST!!

Post a video of your longest, wackiest, and/or most daring jump in your SRV! Add a little description/preface (reason it happened, what the gravity situation was) of what's happening in the video. Bonus points for EPIC background music!

Who doesn't enjoy sparkly, shiny pieces of cardstock and stuffies?!?!

One of my favorite ways to enjoy Elite Dangerous is by running trade and mining missions for gold, silver, and bertrandite. I use a combination of my fleet carrier, an Imperial Cutter, and a Python to make the most of these operations. The Cutter is perfect for hauling massive amounts of cargo to my fleet carrier where I store the goods in a location close to where I'm procuring my missions. The Python provides decent cargo size and can utilize a medium landing pad.

Beyond just making credits, I love using these missions to help new pilots get started. By offering them a way to earn their first $50-$100 million credits, I help them work toward their own Python Whether it’s guiding them through profitable mining runs or setting up lucrative trade routes using my fleet carrier as a mobile base, it’s rewarding to see them progress. I remember the help that I received when I first started out and I love to pass that forward!

What about listing your fleet carrier name with a photo and explaining why/how you decided on the name? There are some wild names out there so it would be simple and fun.

I used to bounty hunt with a group of pilots when I first started out. We would zip around in a HazRez with our Fer de Lances through the asteroids chasing down laser flashes in the distance trying to get in a few shots before the kill. Well, we usually played late and I had a bad habit of falling asleep while running full speed. Asteroid vs Fer de Lance at full throttle is definitely a one sided battle.....

Bounty hunting in Elite is a very fun job. The best part about it is the low entry point as far as ships go. You can do this in your starter sidewinder and be just fine as long as you know how to run. The first thing that you need to do is find a RES (resource extraction site). Drop into the site and start scanning ships. BE SURE TO SCAN!!! You’re a good guy so don’t shoot other good guys! The key to hunting is to let the feds/security forces do the work. Just be sure to get your shots in before the pirate ship hits 0% hull. If you use this method you can get bounties for ships many times bigger than your own. If you want to make that extra space cash for the bounties then equip a kill warrant scanner.

A good way to find pirates from a distance is to look for signs of a fight around you (laser beams in the distance) and high tail it over there (again, don’t forget to scan the target first) and join the scuffle.

Now, an important thing to remember (other than scan your target first) is that your bounties die with you. If you get space wasted then your bounties are gone! Pay very close attention to your ship’s health. Decide on a bounty total that you are comfortable with and head to a station when you hit that number.

Now go hit those RES sites, take out the trash, and don’t die!!!

This Python is the ship I spend the most time in. Mostly used for trade in the Inti system doing silver and gold transport missions. This thing has made me billions (with a B not a M) of space bucks. Close second for seat time would be the Federal Corvette followed by the Imperial Cutter.

I thought that I would drop in on a little back water and check out the night life. The booze sucked, the cigarettes were stale and security kept scanning me. I had to bounce out of there quick, fast, and in a hurry. Time to head back to my carrier. The bartender knows me and always gets my drink right. He better because I write his paycheck.
