Sothis and Ceos Advice

Dont forget to also keep your exploration data and sell it at Sothis or Ceos. This also really boosts your rep.

Don't... I returned last week from Saag A and used it for the community goal, don't get me wrong the extra 15 mill at the time seemed worth it but now i'm kicking myself a bit lol

If you're already grade 5 with Felicity and/or Elvira then it's ok. I split my data between Felicity and the CG.

REP for you sir, very helpful, many thanks.

And you are indeed just around the corner. I think I sometimes pop over there in my Vulture for a spot of RES hunting. We should wing up sometime!

Oh yeah, two high res, two has rez, pristine mining and decent outfitting with 15% off, that's why it is my home lol. I'm currently flying about getting eng upgrades but I will add you for some future FAS/ vulture BH.

Is it near CEOS? I want to get a 15% discount on my Conda if I get one.

Not sure on the first part but Lembava/Diaguandri is in the Li Yong Rui controlled systems - about 430LY from CEOS/SOTHIS.

Yeah I think you are right, the 500,000cr / tonne are not really there for me at the moment but not to say they don't exist it's probably more to do with local faction reputation more than anything, as I was typing this there was 3 x smuggle runs Sothis > Ceos 5.5Million each all for about 8t of cargo, but I didn't have the ranking..... case and point right there lol that would have been a right cheeky little job.

So I guess for the minute perhaps the smart thing is to load up on the best I can and run with it? I have got a mix of missions so far total payout is about 16million for about 90 tonnes of cargo, if I stick to this level of work load I should scrap past the 30 million marker which I guess is not bad for my first attempt? and it's in line with your 30-60 million you mentioned above.

Hopefully then once my rank goes up a bit I can start to be a bit more picky with the work and work my way up towards your 60mill marker.

I appreciate your help mate thank you

As someone else has mentioned - just run missions for all the factions in the Sothis/Ceos area for a couple days worth of playing and you'll be Allied with them in no time. Then you can cherry pick the best missions.

I'm currently Allied with ALL of the factions in Sothis and Ceos - lots of fun!

I've been back to Robigo the last couple of nights doing a spot of slave smuggling as it's back up and running but tonight will be my last run - it's boring as hell since they nerfed it.

Honestly don't know why they felt the need to change the Shadow Run missions - the whole point of them was the high risk, high reward. I understand the inherent issues there were with Robigo but they could have dealt with it in a differnt manner i feel.

Oh well, I may just about have enough to outfit a D rated Conda by the end of play tonight in which case.......do I head to Ceos/Sothis for some more smuggling giggles or head back to Felicity and grind out for that Level 5 FSD (I'm 50% through level 4 to 5 unlock currently). An upgraded Lvl 5 FSD on that Conda sure would be sweet! Decisions, decisons! :D

I never bother with large a rated scoops the B rated large ones are hardly any different and a fraction of the price, and fine for little trips out to the frontier.

Eh? What has this got to do with it? My advice still stands and is a very rapid way to boost your rep at Ceos or Sothis.

Uhm ... Sirius Corporation left Ceos, and Ceos is now independet. So a faction less at that station. Just mentioning it ....

Weird.. From momories I would've said Ceos only contained Medium sized pads.. Sothis has one large and one medium. I'd most definitely use a Medium sized ship at first to level up the faction ranks.

My Sothis advice is to keep quiet about it before the entire community piles in and it gets shut down like Robigo. Oh, never mind.

Don't all star ports have at least one large pad?

I don't have a coriolis build, but I can tell you what I had its easy-

D-rate all core internals, except a-rated FSD
A0 shield boosters- 4
Chaff launcher
2 point defence on the back wings to intercept missles
6E shield (shield boosters add 80%) since I always ran after interdictions with 4 pips its all I needed.
6A fuel scoop
Cargo, cargo and more cargo. I think I could hold almost 400t.

I only put 2 mine launchers in the small HP's, and a 4A multi-cannon for fun. Basically after I submitted to an interdiction, I would boost, deploy mines, and boost again while dropping mines, if I noticed the NPC eating the mines, I'd wait till they were about 30% hull, turn around and kill them with the multi cannon.

If you have "report crimes against me" turned on, do not try and turn and attack. Security will run into any mines still active and you will get a bounty.

Also I ran 4pips sys and 2 eng, mines take almost zero power.

I also picked up my Annie at ray gateway, 124 mil is great. I think my total cost was about 166 mil, 24 mil going into the fuel scoop and the a rated FSD was 15 mil if I remember correctly. Hope this helps.

Edit: Also makes a good miner with a little adjustment, and gcrv 1568 (my home) is just around the corner from diaguandri.

I've tried a build based on this and the best I can seem to get is 340t cargo?

Both new dawn station and newholm are large-ish stations (although they are the stations that do not rotate which is strange) and I believe sothis has a outpost as well.

Huh, I coulda swore I was getting like 368 tons.. Maybe I ran a 5-class shield if its even possible, I wouldn't recommend that though. Even with 340 (sounds right the more I think about it) is a lot of millions! Also if you are ever short a few tons of cargo, sothis was selling a rare- crystaline gold, which turns a real nice profit when back in the bubble.

Tweaked it a bit. https://coriolis.io/outfit/anaconda...2f24.Iw18ZlA=.Aw18ZlA=?bn=Sothis Hauler Conda

Got 400t cargo now but had to drop to 3A shields - don't know if that's advisable or not.
Also, only FOUR jump range on a full tank. I know that's what the fuel scoop I'd for but that's like scooping on pretty much every star on the way back.

I feel getting the right balance here could be tricky.
