THE FORMIDINE RIFT MYSTERY (Part 4)

Exactly it's more than that.

Salome is a reinvented person that has failed at being reinvented.

She is a narcissist while pretending she is something else. She is neither good nor bad but her actions have mostly been failures.

She holds the answers but rather than reveal them she is still trying to cling to the hope that she can change things by using this information against the people she hates.

She is being eradicated but still believes that she can be powerful and justifies it by garnering public favour and using the tools that she was born with. The Imperial blood line and the ability to manipulate.

In her mind she may believe she is doing the right thing and her supporters only enhance that belief but in reality for the average person, as we know it's just pain and suffering.

After all that she continues on this path to be something superior like a spoilt child who thinks she deserves better.

She is in reality still Kahina, Salome is just a front that she is using like a bad homework excuse.

Sure she's made some bad decisions out grief from slaughtered family but she's a good person and has learned to be more caring on her current jihad. I think we're forgetting the important thing here, she's sincerely following her heart.

It was Cuthrick who saw Kahina off to prison, holding her hands while inserting the transponder in her arm and whispering sweet goodbyes in her ears "10 minutes after entering Diabo space activate your remlok and wait for your ride".
Whats the point of charm without ruthe.
 
Yes, yes there is. I just did it to my 4A Beam on my FDL. If your going off of INARA it is seriously outdated. Go see Broo.

Really. When did this happen. Must have been when I was out in the rift.

I don't need it on my FDL but for my Python it's ideal. Prob be handy for my Vette but not so important.

Do you have a blueprint link ?
 
Found a blueprint !!!.

This is super good news. Trying to work out if I can get 3 fixed beams to function with thermal vent and thermal conduit combo.

Well she is certainly not a bad person.

Being honest to your heart and standing by your beliefs doesn't make you good. It is however honourable which is a very Imperial trait.

By todays standards Charles Manson would win X-Factor, horrendous backstory, just wants to sing and follow his dreams.

I don't know if the political level, those powerplay cutouts, have any clue as to whats going on. I'd guess the deep state or permanent bureaucrats of all three power blocks or at least knowing elements within each are working together or are at least in agreement as symbolized by the identified meta-alloy thiefs. There's no hint Blaine has even told the Emperor, it's Blaine that really runs the shop and Kahina's only 2 degrees from him so I'll assume the others are the same distance from their real boss whether they know it or not. The INRA is probably whispering in all three of their ears.
 
I like to shift the pips around from shields to weapons, depending on the situation, so I don't always want full pips to weaps.
I'm used to the beams stopping firing when the cap is drained, what I'm not used to is that they sometimes permanently malfunction (until repaired) & taking damage after a few(?) times over heating, this didn't used to be the case until the end (ish) of last year. At 1st I thought it was due to special weapon affects from the enemy, but this only accounted for 1 battle at the time (been mostly in the rift the past few mths).
So is damage been taken from over heating the norm now? (btw AFAIR I haven't engineered the beams on my Asp....... I think!).

Re my engine focused 4D PD (only grd 1 IIRC, IDK how many rolls), well I think it has enough energy! lol, but TBH I haven't been in a battle since engineering my Asp.
But there is enough energy for them to all work, & it boosts. Sequential boosting gives me 370-395 m/s vs 377-395 with the std 4A. I gained ~0.5 LYs j/r.
As for your Python, maybe you lost some engine capacity & gained recharge rate. If the capacity was only just enough originally, then even a tiny loss would prevent boosting.

Sounds like you've lost integrity on your beams so they are more susceptible to damage through overheating. Might be worth storing them & trying some replacements, engineered Step by step, to see if it happens again & why.
Thanks, think you're right about my Python issue.
 
Slightly off topic, but just adding to the efficient beams discussion, I have Efficient Weapon 5 on all three large beams, on one of my three Pythons. If you are using Inara, it is out of date. See below

P.S. before the eagle eyes amongst you shout "That's a Patreus symbol on the Empire one!", yes it is. Because I wanted an empire symbol, the PP ones are there, but it's the best of the four. I have no link to Pat, and defo not with regards to his relationship with Salome.

You all have no idea who's puppet Salome is, but you're all happily rushing off to play white knight to her damsel in distress.
It's amazing what people will do for the hot girl.
</RP>

Ask yourselves "Who rescued Salome?"

[Clue] It wasn't CoR

It doesn't matter whether Salome is being manipulated (by the Dark Wheel or any other); what matters is getting the truth about "the serious xxxx out there", why it happened, who has been seriously misleading the galactic population for decades and why it has been covered up.

It does help that she's hot, however I suspect she and Aisling are "involved". :rolleyes:

Join me in the cocktail bar of my Anaconda - located on the viewing deck. Strategically located at the bow of the ship, this will ensure the lowest profile whilst facing the unfolding events, minimising risk of stray fire landing hit. I have popcorn, pretzels, cheese wine and beer. I believe Gino's brick oven Pizza located in Old Venice on Sol can deliver in 30 minutes with their new long range Haulers.

We can pick over the ashes in the aftermath!

Oh, I also have a La Marzocco Mistral coffee machine.

Z...

You have fresh coffee? Order me a buffalo cheese & sun dried tomato pizza & save me a place by the fire (I'll bring my slippers)!

P.S. What is the point of the chin window on the Anaconda? Can one of the multicrew use it for planetary survey?

Amen to that! I'm joining random wars right now, picking to fight against the side with the biggest ships to get the most efficient route ot complete my triple Elite... 50% Dangerous as of last night. Almost half way...

Z...

Mm, don't you have to get through Deadly too?

Of course she is a bad person.

She knew fully well the moral shot comings of her own family. She still reclaimed Prism. A system stolen by the Empire and the Loren family, form the locals that rebelled.

She lead the slaughter of the natives and personally executed their leaders. All this was done to secure the Empire it's most precious source of tantalum.

Her life has lead her into conflict with those that are even worse than her. That has made her a useful tool for those that want secrets exposed. Nothing more.
 
I put G5 dirties on all my ships - basically, I like to do things fast - docking included, and landing on things. G5's make this happen with everything. 360+ boost Anaconda is kinda fun, too...

I'm actually in the process of engineering my Python, I'm going to give it a go as a conflict zone gunship, as I just don't seem to get along with the FDL, or maybe I'm just using it wrong... I think I'm too used to the agility of the Vulture and I need to re-adjust my tactics. Long range sniper may be an idea, actually. Anyway, I'll mess with it as time goes, but for now, I think I want my Python back online...

And, by heavens I'm sick of looking for Cadmium.

Z...

I'm not a massive fan of combat in game, but I do like to participate from time to time. When I first tried a python in CZs, it seemed terrible, but recently, it's served me well. I think the issue was that the canopy kept breaking, but with a couple of module reinforcements, it's been great. I used a build with 5 pulse lasers and find that extremely satisfying due to the large capacitor, and efficient mods. Can take a.Conda's shields out very quickly.

The g5 thruster mods help too.

Bad person? Maybe.

I'm not one to visit the sins of the father on his children. The massacre of Federation colonists on Prism was carried out under the orders of Algreb Loren. That particular sin lies squarely on his shoulders and it seems that the surviving victims of that slaughter aptly punished him for his crimes. An eye for an eye, tooth for tooth the Loren dynasty was brought to it's knees and nearly extinguished.

Her own actions to reclaim the Loren family's rule over Prism resulted in the deaths of thousands. She may not have directly given the orders that resulted in these deaths but she still can't deny responsibility for them.

She is an Imperial politician ... more concerned with her own status and honor than the lives of us small, insignificant beings who fill the background around her. We're just here to serve her purposes or be brushed aside.

Her experiences may of course have changed her, like Halsey going from peasant bomber to aid worker, but I doubt it.

I think she is fueled by the desire for revenge and to a degree, curiosity. She seem a selfish as ever.

I meant getting to deadly is half way, and I'm currently getting 5% a night, so almost half way}(10 mofe days)

Argh! I'm going to be grinding mats tonight instead of blowing stuff up! Argh!

You're wasting a corrosive shell - you only need one for it take give the affect to all your kinetics. Put it on another ship and thow incindiary on, or something else.

Oh yeah, I'd certainly tap it after a big night out on the booze. Even after a night out with no booze. But that doesn't mean I trust her..



She knows the coordinates, we don't ;)

Nope, I don't think she does, or it'd all be over...
