Powerplay Obtaining Prismatics

Could any of you kind folks post me to a guide that explains the best way to get Prismatics? I haven't payed much attention to powerplay, only watched streams and vid's to understand the basics.

The plan is to install them on my Python & Anacondas

Cheers

What Apos said ^^

Bear in mind 777Driver they weigh a lot more , cost a packet (not really their downfall) and suck a ton more of juice all for about a 25% increase. I'll be fitting one to my Python soon just to try it out but I'll need to upgrade the power plant from a6 to a7 to do it, which costs 51M if memory serves.

Also if you leave Aisling and die and can't afford to buy the shield back (heaven forbid) you'll loose it and have to do the PP grind again.

Cheers!

Thanks for the help guy's. Yep, I understand the issue with extra weight, money's not a problem.

Well, Prismatics are THE way to use your shield in a lower class slot w/o sacrificing shield strength. Basically a Prismatic 3 is the same as an A4 shield (nearly same strength, same weight, a bit more power) and saves the higher slot.

Well the plan was to upgrade the A6 on the Python & A7 on the Battle Anaconda, doesn't really seem worth the hassle if I don't get the best shields. My trader & Explorer Conda's run shieldless.

So I've pledged allegiance, does that mean I'll now be randomly attacked while smuggling outside of imperial space?

You'll get the odd interdiction from rival factions yes, plus the pirates wanting your goods. Result !

Better still, we're comrades in arms now :D

Can I ask if once you have obtained a power weapon, if you defect...

1. You can sell and rebuy in outfitting to shuffle them to a different ship?
2. On death are they rebought if you have defected?

Thanks

1. Yes, but it's slightly bugged and they might be lost.
2. Yes.

^^^^ This! Allows me to have the same protection than a higher class regular shield in a lower internal slot: invaluable!
 
Just waiting for Thursday :)
Dot sure if you can only buy them in Aisling Duval territory or anywhere? I am parked up at the edge of AD space waiting to go to Founders.

Pretty sure every station will sell them once you are entitled to buy them.
Go to Siriusland to get the 15% discount.
 
Join Aisling, wait 3 weeks, farm Rating 3 within an hour by underming, get shields in Week 4.

That AFAIK doesn't work. You can only advance one rank per week, or am I mistaken there ? So you'd have to wait only two weeks, make rank 2 in week 3 and rank 3 in week for, all set.

You can be rank 5 within a week if you put some heart and soul (or credits) into it. No limitations.

Yes this is correct. I went from zero to hero in 4 days. It cost me 100 million quid and 8 hours of grind - most of which was spent in that click monstrosity that is fast tracking. Filling a Conda is a herculean effort.

Worth the investment i feel given that HazRES is where I will earn my cash from now on and not have to do any more trading. Not that I'm knocking trading ive just had my fill.

I did rank 1 -->5 progression in one "full immersion 8 hours" day of killing stuff, so no expenses (excluding some refill/repair) and 50 Millions insoming next week.
Anyway this way it is a painful grinding, honestly i wont do that again, not worth the effort for a game
