I checked out Hip 6796 last night, found that it had very limited ships and modules there. No more than a few of each module class/type, very few A rated modules and mainly for the smaller ships.

I love the look of the system, but the lack of ships and parts would entail travelling with a half built ship 2 or 3 system jumps for outfitting. Any more suggestions for a home base before we commit to moving (in some cases) several vessels?

As yet, I've not managed to wing up with any of you since I was running protection to a gaggle of geese in Asps and T6's doing the community goal. I normally don't do PvP, but there sure are some proper tools around since the Sothis fiasco, all flying shiny, shiny ships beyond their experience and picking on lonesome, weak traders.

As of last night, there was no serious pirate/griefer presence bar a few socially children taking happy slap turns at the cargo ships docking. Most of them were 'Harmless' rated, flying the budget Clippers available until recently in Empire space. Most only needed a friendly "Hello" from an Anaconda to persuade them to mosey along to the nearest playpark.
I'll be there tonight hanging around doing escorts if needed whilst helping with the community goal.

Oh so you actually want ships and outfiting. Well try 109 piscuim it's near hip 6796 has medium player traffic the station it 1900ls away from star insane outfiting 18 ships in ship yard. Has haz res and high res. Its also has discount . Currently federation controlled. The reason why I recommend hip 6796 is because it's uncontrolled and is nearby to places you can get any ship and all outfiting. Yes the outfiting sucks but no system is perfect.

The US guys are all playing and winging. I've met quite a few of the them already. Your "ideal" game time, say 7PM BST (guessing here) is about 1-4AM in the US. Reason for adding you as a moderator for the EU. Maybe you could recruit some guys on the Xbox forum for more EU guys? IDK...

As far as HIP 6796 goes, that is a shame about the ships and modules. Honestly guys we're never going to find a "perfect station". I submitted the request on Wednesday afternoon US time, in hopes of ED implementing it prior to the cycle change on Thursday. I haven't received confirmation just yet. If/when we need to re-outfit we will just have to jump real quick... Not a huge deal. I still love the system, along with most of the guys I've spoken with, as it provides for excellent mining (10 pristine ringed planets), at least one Haz Rez, a booming economy, Station that is near the star, discounted system (Li Yong Rui) and 100% Independent planets. We'll make it work.

Correction to my last - I am there now and outfitting is pretty stacked. I don't know where you were looking, but every module is available and every weapon/utility is also available from what I can tell, and there are 10 ships for purchase including the python and anaconda at a discount.

Yes, 109 Piscuim is one jump and it is definitely loaded.

Hey all. I'm interested in joining up, if you'll have me of course. Once upon a time the U.S. Army called me a 67T (UH-60 Blackhawk Crew Chief). Gamertag: Bhawk 81589. Been hanging out in LP 926-40 since I started. I'm aligned with feds in PP, but I can drop it if need be. "A" rated Viper and a Type-6 at your service. I'm Oscar Mike, out.

If anyone is looking for an Imperial Courier, they can be found one jump away from 109 Piscium at BALDR system.

Here is my setup, she has 280 MilGrade Armor and 536 Shields, Boosts to 390 rockin' 3x F2 Gimballed Pulses. I call her The Ex-Wife cause you dont wanna see her comin' your way

Roger that. Added you to the group and friends list. Find your name at the main post on this thread and thank you for your service.

Flown in many a Blackhawk. We used to do Air Reaction Force (ARF) missions just flying for hours waiting for contact.

Guys, I'm not picking fault here I love the system already. We're on the same page and it's certainly home for me once I move my gear in...

I'm on all hours, Brian. I currently play with a group of friends from the U.S, Canada, Holland and those of us across the narrow pond here who have no lives and stay awake till 9am the following morning.

Hip 6796 is perfect, so please don't assume I was knocking it.

I had assumed though that the group would be inclusive regardless of region or country, are you suggesting that we over here aren't to be included in U.S only wing invites etc?

 

[Bhawk81589]

Thanks to all of you for your service to your respective nations as well. Thanks for the welcome Brian and Centrum. Fast roping or touch n' go's doing the ARF thing? Either way its a blast! Well if hip is going to be our new home I guess I better start my 12 jumps now. Whew, I'm already tired. BTW The BH will always be the Cadillac of the skies!

Lol. Of course the group is inclusive, I just thought that the time difference was making it difficult for you to find a wing. If you are on send me a party invite, or join mine if we are in one anytime. I thought having you across the pond would make it easier for guys in your time zone to get more info if you were on during that time. That's all. I did not mean to sound like we are a divided group or anything like that.

Hahaha. That's the truth, fortunate for me I never had that problem, just a couple crazy ex girlfriends. I made just a couple changes to your loadout. Implemented some power management and an extra Sheild Cell Bank to cover your 536MJ. If you look at the recharge on the SCB, it will tell you how much of your shield it will recharge e.g. 2A SCB will recharge 105MJ.

Returned the favor

 

[Odd Color]

I'm away for a couple days and will be on soon but welcome to any new members. I have just joined the military and my ship date is in January. My MOS is 31B with the army national guard in hopes to further my skills and better my chances of getting into my local Police Department. Feel free to add me ( Odd Color ) and I'll do the same once I get a chance to get on.

 

[Warvet070816]

So many MP jokes... Lol and welcome

 

[Spirited Bacon]

Wooohooo be at hip 6796 in 13 jumps

 

[Brian B]

Alright fellas, tonight we will hold our first meet and greet at home system/station. We will conduct training ops to include PvP combat training. Q&A on any questions you may have regarding the faction, Powerplay, outfitting, etc... Plan on meeting up around 9:00pm Eastern time, 6:00pm Pacific time - until whenever it ends. Plan on bringing either a mining ship to scout out our many pristine rings for high value metals, or a combat ship for the haz res. See you guys there!
