You should include, that in the power play 2.0, you collect the life pods this way but then you have to turn them into a power contact "within the same system". This will give you merits from your pledge and will allow you to complete the objective.
I just was starting to check out how to find escape pods in ED. And this video was the first yt showed me BEFORE I started to write anything in the search engine. Spooky! Thank you for the video ans thanks to the algorithm of yt.
If you have a bounty hunting ship capable of killing bandits, you will produce more escape pods in a "Resource Site (Low)" than an individual signal source. That's where I get escape pods from.
Just be careful, sometimes there will be hostile ships there, or they can jump in after a time. They seem to be engineered like CZ ships, my unengineered Anaconda got jumped by two Eagles and a Sidewinder after collecting the escape pods. I made my escape after a couple of minutes ineffectively shooting at them and my shields getting taken down and pounded with missiles.
You might also be able to bulk grab occupied pods from 4 wreckage POIs above Ram Tah's base, there's 4 of them and one of them spawns 5 pods every time you jump into it. Edit: seems to be only good for Aisling bonus farming.
I farmed escape pods by "serving warrants" (aka bounty hunting) at a Nav Beacon...I will say the AI commanders in the area will get super sweaty and try to snake your pods from you.
@@alexmcd378 also, F-Dev suspended getting merits from farming escape pods for the time being. They are worth credits, however; just not very lucrative.
@@alexmcd378 Yeah, anyone with a warrant will scan you and try to take them from you, by force if necessary. Some of the AI commanders will even launch hatch breaker limpets at you.
Ya if not lazy... I generally decide to do this not when at the sun... and I do a lot of exploration so scanning is almost automatic to me. But yes you could scan the beacon - but you'd need to do that after every one you go to most of the time.
3 weeks in elite is a long time. Your youtube vid was out of date within a week of publishing. I got two elite updates today alone. It's completely useless. Frontier is finding all the loopholes and plugging them up faster than youtubers can cash in on how to quick and easy
Ya I did this on 2 other accounts, but dude the video came out a day after PP was released LOL... I'm showing reality which includes mistakes. If you want a perfect 5 minute tutorial don't play and wait till big youtubers release it weeks from now. Some people want to see what I did right AND what I did wrong to learn from it.
You can add the items you dont want your limpets to pick up the the ignore list , just highlight the items in your contact list and select ignore.

@@-hellsgate- ya that is what I did in my video from AFK check it outi
Sub #420, haha... just came back to the game, and dig your vids so far

@@DaveStarfire I had ships jump in every one but they never shot me once.

Has to be from the same system in PP that you turn them into.
@@AtlasRandGaming Oh well, it indeed sounded too good to be true
Which kind of systems are reinforcement systems?
Anything that you already have... not new systems.

Do blown ships drop escape pods? I never noticed that
@@alexmcd378 They drop damaged or intact escape pods with some regularity.

@ thanks, got my first pods that way. And discovered escape pods are valuable cargo, so don't get scanned to many times at once

Does the 8 second rule also apply when disengaging SCO and activating cruise assist?
Nah, you are better deactivating it about 3-5 secs. It’s also the called 7 second rule not 8.
Any PP2 system. Faster to scan the Nav Beacon. Turn in to any PP2 agent.

If you wantched the videos on release day - they were all correct :)
This wasn't a tutorial, you were just figuring it out as you played. Didn't you at least try this once before recording?

why are you judging a new channel of a dude tryin to figure this shit out with us?
