Greetings Commander,

Bounty hunting, exploration, mining and trading, everything has already been described in such detail.

I always like to combine all these things in the BGS and not only does my account balance increase but also the influence of my faction!

BGS mining, or mining for the BGS, can yield incredible profits. Often raw materials such as osmium, samarium, bromellite

and some others that can only be obtained through mining, are needed for very high influence missions, which bring in several million credits. (especially the small missions with 36 & 45 tons)

You can now extract these resources with mining and store them on your own carrier or you can sell them at very high prices!

Which brings us to the carrier trade.

Buy the raw materials in demand and sell them at a very high price and people buy them because they need them. Currently that would be CMM composites & insulating membranes.

As long as you don't overdo it with the price, you can make 100 million or more with relatively little effort.

Why do I play Elite?

Good question and long answer.

First of all, I love science fiction, I've always loved playing sci-fi games and reading books about it.

As games I would probably have to name Homeworld, Freespace 1 & 2, Mass Effect and Dead Space, there are so many but these were always special to me too.

There are also countless books, but The Lost Fleet dominates here.

Elite combines all of these!

If you find encrypted messages, you can come across dark secrets and sometimes it's very scary, which reminds me a bit of Dead Space.

In the fight against Thargoids you join forces with so many player factions to fight a common enemy and/or save civilians, almost like in Freespace.

Just to make a few small comparisons.

But in the end you are your own “Lost Fleet” and have to find or create your own home and that's what fascinates me the most!

Find a squadron and/or people you like to play with and explore the endless expanses and possibilities of Elite.

I came across Elite at some point, played a bit for myself and didn't get very far.

Later, the game lured me back in and I played it again for a while, which is definitely several hundred hours.

But I really fell in love with Elite shortly before Odyssey.

I met a streamer and his squadron, which I joined on 01.06.2021.

I knew so little about Elite at the beginning.

Thanks to the squadron and the many players I got to know over the years, my interest in Elite grew and I fell more and more in love with the game.
