Watching a collider, binary moons around a GG, it was moving so fast it was gone in about 40 seconds.

Hi All 
What am I doing at the moment....Mining, because from some of the information I've recently seen we might need mined metals / minerals as part of the commodities needed for Colonisation. Okay, at this point in time I haven't a clue of what stuff might actually be needed, but I'm just outside the bubble at one of my favourite mining spots, so it's something to do while waiting for (hopefully) the Colonisation feature.
Osmium is one of the elements I'm concentrating on, and if this isn't needed there's always those Osmium centred missions at some stations that's worthwhile doing!
Does anybody else feel that maybe some particular commodities may be relevant in this case scenario?....Or are you just waiting for more Colonisation info?...Just wondered.

I have no idea what commodities might be needed so I am going to wait and see, while I am doing that I am going to take part in one or both of the CGs with the idea of getting a reasonable contribution in before the update happens halfway throughHi All

I started with the bounty hunting CG using my Mandalay, the Flying Fish, it is a little week defensively and might need a bit more punch for Haz RES fighting but wasn’t bad at all in a High RES, it seems really good at getting in close.
I might have to adapt it from an armed explorer with SRVs to a more combat focussed ship especially as my Cobra V, the Ultimate Question, seems so much better for exobiology at least it doesn’t get hit by the ground so much.
What I'm doing right now? Reset one of my accounts and am now trying to scrape up enough money1 to decently outfit my CMV. Managed to grab and complete a 400kCr. long-distance delivery I could do in my Sidey, so I was able to buy an Artemis and a DSS. But I'll probably trade that in temporarily for a Hauler or an Adder and run some cargo in the current CG.
Mid-term aim is to get up to equipping (and that includes the Bubble engineers and a few Guardian cookies) that CMV for DW3 next year.
1) Yeah, I could get the money via the carrier from my carrier account - but that would be cheating...
P.S. Just found Spansh' exobio site...temptation is calling.

I've joined the Brewer security forces in Minerva with the Stormbringer. So far, I've focused my attempts on the nav beacon, poking everything that has a "WANTED" stamp on their hull. Works quite well, so far. The most difficult opponent I had so far was in a Vulture. Really difficult to keep your guns pointing at these. The ones I feared the most were surprisingly easy to handle - the big fish like Anacondas and Clippers pop almost as fast as an Alliance Chieftain.
I'm contemplating to fetch the Interstellar Loadstar and try to haul some stuff for the other CG, but I'm not sure if I'm up to that task...

Yes, that's what I've been doing too. This is the first time there's been a problem (and it was a big one).
You only need to deliver a single load of 1 tonne or more to qualify for the rewards so you could do it in Stormbringer.
Speaking of which if you swapped the manifold scanner for the OB version you would significantly reduce your power issues for only 0.5km less scan range.
I was going to have a look at the latest driver For Science™ and then I read this thread:

playing pp2 with archer, and trying to avoid the system authories ships, THey hate me for some reason, Can't be the mass ground base murdering, surely.
also searching planets for niobium.... not in a scorpion , doesn't seem to have a radar for it..hahaha

Type 10's are great fun too, if the nav beacon is compromised. It's easy to sub-target their engines because it takes those lumbering giants forever to turn.
I delivered 60 of each commodity in my Krait. Though I'm not sure why exactly since you only need a single item to qualify. OCD, maybe.
Are you using the K-warrant scanner for extra cash?
I did a bit of fun haz res before doing bounty missions while collecting commodities. I doubt it had much of an effect on the combat CG but it's nice to get your rank up in case you feel like doing cash missions.
75% Combat's already at £100M and it's about to hit tier 2.
75% delivery is about to hit tier 1. It'll be interesting to see how much there is to be made here since it's by far the least popular CG.
I'll probably go back to doing haz res stuff after I've done some material trading. Partly because it's better for the CG and partly because it's a fun change from missions stuff.
Same here. Sometimes I check before I get all my folders and stuff set up because I like to reboot after an update.
Well, I was lucky. No problems on my end.
I haven't gotten so far, yet. But even without, they are quite easy targets. Right now, I'm glad I can make it through without fumbling myself into oblivion.
Right now, it is more "decorative", as I'm still learnig how this all works. But I might give it a try next time I'm out there.
You don't really have to do anything if you stick it on a weapons fire group which gets a long finger press, like gimbled lasers or multi-cannons. It'll scan while you're firing. Though I also stick it on a non-weapons group in case I want to scan without firing. Maybe the data link type scanner group that never gets used.
I'd still recommend engineering it for fast scan though.
I've never understood why those are used so much, you can tell if someone has a warrant just by locking on to their ship. I thought they were mainly used for finding passengers that have warrants on a ship like a Dolphin, I have never used one, never had a need in ship-to-ship combat so I'm not an expert on they're use.
Usually, you'll only collect a bounty they had on their head in the system you're in. The K-warrant scanner searches a database (or something) of other systems they might have a bounty in so you can now get that cash too.
You may even scan a clean pilot and discover in your contacts that he has bounties in other systems. Though I never use this. It seems overly complicated. Plus, you'd be the wanted guy if you took a pop at him.
A nice ringed planetrise I've seen many times. But close enough to see the shephard moons too? Not so often!
Ah, that makes sense, they should call it the wiki warrant scanner. The problem is I have no place to put it, I haven't got a fuel scoop on my Krait, I usually stack identical kill missions (or very close) and get credit for both simultaneously, I think it's a bug.
