I finally grinded my way to the top of the Empire ranks and got permission to buy the most beautiful ship in the game. I don't have the money needed to outfit it so it'll be in a garage collecting dust for a while but I get a warm fuzzy feeling inside just knowing I own it. This is one of the two most desired ships in the entire game. It's also one of the two most expensive ones. Bought it for 208 000 000 and jumped twice to a different station and found it for 188 000 000. Shit.
This is just a random screenshot from a station I went to. Thought it was cool.
Let's keep this thread alive. I've been playing more Elite Dangerous. Mostly grinding but I did go on 5000ly exploration trip to unlock an engineer.
The engineer demands 25 units of unknown fragments before he can do any work on my ship so I decided to check out one of the crashed alien ships.
Just the sounds coming from the wreck is enough to make me want to leave. Also after picking these things up people have been interdicted by the Aliens when jumping from one solar system to another. I would love to see that for myself one day.
