The long but short way to ELITE status!!!

Post by Carrotcat II »

A Boomslang fuse!!!

When you find a system that has a fleet of Boomslangs all in a line towards the space station, fly to the end of them and make sure that the station and all police vessels or off your scanner.

Hit the last Boomslang in the row with a Quirium Cascade mine and watch it run all the way back to the station.

The station launches another ship into the cascade as it feels as it is under attack and this will continue indefinately!!!

Leave it for a while (a long while...) and you will have you 6400 kills and your ELITE status!!!

Obviously this is cheating and I do not endorse it but I thought it was a fun thing to do!!!

Sounds fun, but what is a boomslang/why not just launch a q-mine near the station?
I shot him back first. That is to say, I read his mind and fired before he would have fired on me. No, sir, he wasn't a fugitive.

A Boomslang is a ship that you may only get from an OXP.

They like to fly in a straight line.

If you launch the mine right next to the station your status is instantly a fugitive.

Doing it further away you remain clean

There are alternatives to this. By the way: have you ever visited the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard? :wink: :twisted:

Well I already was a fugitive, so.....
