Where is the discord info? Don't see in description.

Not interested in piracy, I'm a smuggler. But I like watching fellow Cobra CMDRs.

That hud is amazing! Although I haven't watched the video yet and haven't played Elite in a while, I've seen this on reddit and hopped on to check it out. Since I am a newbie to all other aspects of the game but exploring, I am hoping to learn something! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@bloodgulge]

The grey hud or the green one? I can give you the color scheme

[@nonfique429]

@@bloodgulge Oh, the gray one! I hadn't even made it to the end of the video to see the green one. I'd very much appreciate it if you shared the color scheme, thanks!

@@bloodgulge Thanks! I've watched the video btw, good place to start even for me since I know nothing about piracy. I'll follow for updates!

@Medusil, Dude how do I get that green hud and the cool green laser shots? That weapon has a sick fire rate!

[@jackr5046]

Where can I find The Code's discord server? I'm a fairly new player interested in piracy.

[@jekylthorn8969]

Good guide, but it annoys me that this game always railroads you to one thing to make money. In this case, diamond piracy in Frog. So tedious.

Can you pirate other people? How?
