Elite Dangerous Evading Sees Carrier Sunk

Yesterday's session on Elite Dangerous continued into today (22nd) and saw failure followed by success in Warboats terms. The session began with I Found You! (10G) for cashing in a bounty.


The first of the two Warboats related unlocks came in the form of Splashing Out (20G) after buying a new ship but sadly it was a MISS on the Warboats grid. Next up was Gettin' It Done (10G) for completing five missions. 



The session ended with Well Avoided (5G) for escaping an Interdiction and as planned it was the final HIT on the Carrier (5sq long) taking the total sunk to two boats out of a possible five. The next plan will be to find out which unlocks will add to a single hit from last week on the Battleship (4sq long).

Elite Dangerous Takes Flight



Today saw play on Elite Dangerous with two possible Warboats unlocks but sadly they need a little more progress. The session began with Welcome, Commander (10G) for completing the Tutorial. Da Vinci Would Be Proud (10G) popped after creating my commander. 

Next up was I'm a Data Miner (5G) for collecting one loot data and was swiftly followed by the session ender in Pilot Papers (10G) for collecting five loot data.

Ninja, Dungeons & Retro Racing

 
Another day trying to pop unlocks on the Warboats grid saw six across three games starting with 10 Second Ninja. The first achievement was Greatbeard and Benji (100G) for helping the duo on their way by reaching 116 stars and completing the story mode. 


Think Of The Children (50G) popped after collecting all nine disc pieces in order to unlock the mini-game. Yay -I'm a Llama Again! (50G) popped next after successfully equipping a new character skin. 

The session ended with the goal unlock of STOP-HE'S ALREADY DEAD (25G) for scoring 15,000 points in the aforementioned mini-game. As expected it was a HIT in Warboats and meant the five squared boat was now just two successes from sinking. 

The middle square in the five boat is on the game Elite Dangerous and needs further in-game progress so focus turned to either ends with one of two games set to be a HIT. First up was Dungeon Defenders II with the single unlock coming in the form of Veteran Defender (25G) for reaching level 25 on a hero. Sadly, this proved to be a MISS on the Warboats grid. 


This meant the guaranteed 
HIT was on Formula Retro Racing and a quick Eliminator race proved to be enough to secure the unlocking of Unlock Forest Track (25G) for unlocking the Forest track. This completed the days play and made the Warboats grid look a little better HITS wise.

Warboats Sees First Sinking

Today saw some Warboats success bit more on that later, the day began with a session on Call of Duty Advanced Warfare with four unlocks starting with Sitting Ducks (10G) for killing three enemies on 'Manhunt with the Sniper Drone. 



Next up was Born To Die (20G) for completing the 'Manhunt' Mission and was soon followed by Where Are You Going (10G) after stopping an AST with an EMP grenade. 

The session ended with Betrayal (20G) for completing the 'Utopia' mission and this unlock is a Warboats one but sadly it resulted in a MISS.





The above MISS meant that the first sinking was in sight with just one HIT needed to complete a boat of three squares. This saw a move onto Assassin's Creed Unity with the unlock needed being one that would take some effort and see other things pop on the way. Beginning with First Blood (20G) for completing Memory Sequence 3. 


Next up was a guaranteed unlock in pursuit of the main one called Falling From The Sky (5G) after performing 10 Air Assassinations and was a surprise on Warboats even more so as it scored a HIT (a new boat). Chopped! (20G) popped soon after for killing 20 enemies with a Heavy Weapon and La Cour Des Miracles (20G) followed for completing Memory Sequence 4 and was another Warboats surprise but this time a MISS.

The session ended with the goal unlock of Blade In The Crowd (20G) for performing a total of 100 Assassinations, as expected on Warboats it was a HIT and with a sinking meant the earning of the Community Challenge Badge (shown below).

Later in the day, there was a shot play on Death Squared as it had been mentioned in a TA news post and saw a single unlock in the form of Cleanest Run (50G) for completing nine consecutive levels without dying.

First up was Deadeye (10G) for scoring an 'excellent' in the Atlas shooting range with Grenadier (10G) popping after scoring an 'excellent' in the Grenade range.
