Hey I am still confused with the two mining lasers - why??? lol
Not sure what to say here but yeah, way too fast access to Anaconda there. Also if you flip tables because you lost once to NPCs....yeah, still don't know what to say to you. This is a game where you actually die - well, your ship does - if you go down. And you lose stuff.
So maybe positive sign is that you figured out that ED is not game for you before buying HOTAS and VR? Because that's genuinely good thing. I really would hate you investing and then figuring out you can't play/don't want to play ED.

Mining lasers with a KWS and Wake Scanner nonetheless...
I'm reminded of this oldie but goody...
I'm also going to guess "No pips in SYS" was also in play.

Thank you FD for saving me a bunch of money. I was going to abandon Beta now until the live release but I conjured up another endeavor to do before Beta is over. I logged back in to beta then sold off a few of my ships so I could afford a Type-10 and equip it sufficiently for travel and fun. (sold the Mamba too)
I would never have done this in my RL account but hey, its Beta. I flew a Type-9 for about 18 months as my primary ship way back when rare's runs were just getting started and trading was a good way to make credits. I loved that Type-9 but I had to move on so I sold it. (I wish I could transfer that Type-9 paint package I bought back then to the 10 but oh well)
Some modules have probably arrived by now so I'm off to see if I can still get it through the slot.

OP, would you like me to rip the pee out of you for your display of unfathomable ineptitude, in order that the mods lock this thread out of pity, with a closing statement along the lines of... "That's quite enough!"?

99% down to Frontier's lack of forethought in terms of progression; specifically, earnings potential & costs of the ships/modules!
I'm perfectly willing to allow people to stick their face into a fire if they want. Last thing I feel like having is licencing requirements tho; we have enough pedantic game mechanics already.
True, this is fine against Cmdrs, but against high rank mission stalker NPCs, is of less value. If you HW, and jump back in, they will be right there waiting for you.
Your gif is backwards.
Well, that's lovely, and I wish you well. Alas for many of us ED has been a happy outlet for our wallets.
I've got a new HOTAS, headphones, EdTracker and other ancillary bits. And I don't regret spending a single penny of it, not even on the paintjobs, bobbleheads and LEP.
Ymmv of course, and if it's not for you (much like Cities Skylines isn't for me) then it's time to let go and find fresh pastures, and I wish you well.
Lol, does the OP really think that a NPC Python is dangerous?
No, he thinks it's deadly!
Honestly, i almost did. It’s sort of become low-hanging fruit, though.
That weird moment I used to ram the pirate condas to death in my trade cutter
Well what a salty thread, the OP did rather set the tome with his intial post.
Only one thing to add. Have a button bond for next hostile or wighest threat. When being interdicted .... press it. This will give you your attacker's details as if you had scanned it. Use the ship type and rank, and situational context (such as security level, rep with the controlling faction, population, number of baddies chasing you, criminal status in system, time left on mission etc) to decide if submitting or fighting the interdiction is the best course of action.
I love it when ships chasing me interdict me in a high population, high security controlled by a faction I am allied with, guarentees me the extra credits for the mission.
The game is not hard, but it is very easy to make sub-optimal decsions.
Cheers
