The Replicated Man

Apparently with the new interstellar initiatives it's going to be easier to gather guardian items in the future. Interested in seeing how this pans out
PvP More PvP Action!
Once we know what is expected in the II will determine if I bring my alt along (no Guardian kit yet) or my main account.
I know I'm an optimist, but hope that it won't just be a re-run of CG's of the past but something a little more to involve better than just a small fragment of the playing community.
The original ram tah mission (which I missed) paid 211 Million on completion, 'only' 111 mill when I did it last year... The guardian sites in the mission gives you loads of data scans which are needed to kit out the guardian hardware (along with other tat), some of which is actually useful...
Go for them when you are ready, for me as mainly an explorer type the FSD Booster (and SLF) made the poodling around worth it

Okay, how do I start down that road and can I do it in a sexy electric green Viper MK III?
No, it'd clash with my Cobra III...
And you need a SRV, I love my little Viper III (yes, but Red) but I don't think it'd jump far with the SRV in its belly

Well, I just got my 5 FSD from that Farseer hag and I need to know what to do next.No, it'd clash with my Cobra III...

I was thinking of looking up an engineer for my engines - but I don't really know for sure what to do.
My jump range is only 22ly.
Is the guardian thing a good next step?
No. Or yes.
That is more than my current ship.
But your current ship may just be a little more heavily armed/armoured than the Viper?
That said, even with a GFSD Booster heavy builds can have low jump range.
What is your planned play for the next month or so?
FSD Booster can add up to 10.5Ly on range for no extra fuel cost, nice for going further, quicker
(or putting back some range that big guns / reinforcement have added)The Guardian SLF's are both nice to look at and can attack Thargoid ships - not tried them against 'normal ships' so...
Going out and doing the 111 million Ram Tah mission will use a few days of play time as over several systems and a lot of SRV'ing, but will also net you a goodly sum in exploration data (and might push you close to/actually Elite exploration.
Doing the Module/weapons/ships is less time consuming, but will require a bit more pillar scanning to get data. (distance is 700'ish Ly from bubble)
Best 'beginner' type ship would be a DBX with an engineered FSD and mainly lightweight modules. PD on top of ship recommended.
If you just want to get your own back on Krash, you won't need most of the Guardian stuff... Just leave us your Last Will & Testament for safekeeping if you choose that option...
It really depends on your goals. Are you trying to get to Colonia? 32ly range = about 600 jumps? I always advise noobs to engineer/upgrade defenses first. If you're staying around the bubble and want to increase defenses then I recommend engineering shields (shield gen + boosters), armor (hull + HRP), and thrusters. Indirectly this means you'll want to engineer powerplant and distributor as well.
I love my DBX for missions like this. Great advice!
And it is a wonderful ship to unlock those sweet G4 rapid charge SCBs in Colonia ...
My DBX jumps around 65Ly on a full tank, as Krash/Bigmaec say, it is great for long range trips, although fuel scooping is tedious if you've passed through a few non-scoop systems.
Seconded, Colonia is lovely - everyone should go there at least once
