Pack Hounds!Cytoscramblers with phasing.
I’m sorry but I don’t think I can, not sure it is just Elite though might be any multiplayer game. I have heard this in the fights about having Open only anything.Ooooh, really now?
Ok, I admit I did not look at this ever before, but I just learned that Elite requires a Microsucks Gold xbox subscription for online multiplayer such as squadron etc. if I am not mistaken. Tell me I got that wrong please.
Been trying to optimize my frame rate (1060 3GB and VR ), playing with the Quality settings. It's a freakin' mess, with absolutely no help whatsoever. The explanations are poor or none, and honestly you have to look very carefully to actually see the difference between some of the settings, whereas others, like terrain have a huge impact.
The good thing is that it seems easiest to determine the effects when on a planet, which gives me an excellent reason to boost around in canyons. It does cause a few rebuys, but it's really fun. I wish FDev would support racing in the game, but I guess there are more money to be made from ARX. Speaking of... The Mamba also looks good in white

Have you seen those Cyto's in action?I would go for pacifiers and packhounds yep, the cytos, enforcers, hammer etc. not so much.
I would love my SLF to be able to hold advanced plasma accelerators though.
Got a new avatar for 2020 speed cuffs?
MUST have!Check how quickly this clipper loses it's shields:
You should be able to avoid those rebuys by doing the boosting in a SLF.
If you insist on a real ship, try one of the small ships (Sidey or Viper for preference - but anything that takes Enhanced Thrusters will do). If you build them for speed, 750..850 m/s boost is possible

I'm not entirely sure that doing the canyon boostin' in a 700+m/s Eagle will help avoiding any rebuys. It certainly doesn't work for me.You should be able to avoid those rebuys by doing the boosting in a SLF.

I love flying the Mamba. Guess some of you might have noticed.
BTW. Check
For some eyecandy nearby.
However, I haven't used the Mamba that much for combat, and I wanna try those cytoscramblers, so I'm considering going lawless. Catch me if you can:

Bookmarked for laterz.
I've been happily working on my Alt commander (again). This time I decided to do the "Road to Riches" type of start, concentrating on getting credits that way, and working up to an Asp Ex. Just for fun. But I've been recording it, and uploading the results to my Youtube channel.
I think I might do a few different starts, just for the enjoyment of it. Maybe next time I'll concentrate on combat instead...could be amusing
I don't know if anyone will want to watch, but I like making videos so I will do that too.
My channel is over thisaway --> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMHUZ9vISpfqvbv28i3RErA
So that's what I'm up to!

Nice looking motor
I did mine in "British Racing Green" and called it "Chocks Away!".
Had my first foray into a HAZRES. Surprisingly, I came out of it relatively unscathed and with about a million CR in profit. I'm too cautious to say I'm in any way a good fighter though and I don't have the nous to take on an elite in a bit of 1x1 ultraviolence.
That experience bar to the next rank is creeeeeping aloing.
And I'm getting hit with something about "trajectory attack" or something.
So much to learn!

I'm considering 2x large and 1x huge plasmas for the bad Mamba. They get hot, but the sound of those thingies...
Any suggestion for good experimentals for plasmas? Considering efficient, since they are fixed, but some say they are easier to aim with long range?

If you go with plasmas, you should focus on just two things - heat generation and projectile speed. Range doesn't matter in itself, but it is ONE of the mods that increase the speed of the blob, which helps a great deal with aiming (and more importantly - hitting things)
Although if you are going with PAs just because they sound good, may I suggest you try large and huge cannons? That thing is epic. You will need something else to deal with shields, but as far as the sound and the satisfying feeling of hitting things goes, the cannon wins in my books by a landslide.

I'm sure you were considering calling it something else
I like the Mamba in green as well.Haz Res are fun, but also try and go to a CNB. There's more room for swinging the cat there.

Cannons
Well, now I've mined all that bromellite for the engineer, but cannons. Just saying the word "cannons" sounds proper destructive, and I do plan to get in trouble with this ship.
I'm using the Cytoscramblers on my Chieftain and I like it. Perfect use of the 3 small hardpoints to me!
I'm hoping it'll be at least as durable as my TM T-Flight Hotas X, which it replaces! I don't use the yaw much except at low speeds anyway, and I have at least one set of thumb switches on the throttle I could asign it to atm
Can't use the throttle paddles though, those are my forward/reverse thrusters!The binds set up is quite a task, but well worth it
Getting there on the set-up/binds. The refcard will be handy when I'm fully set up, so I can remember the more obscure inputs
As for what I've been up to - my 'open only' account (still pretty noob, only started in December) has found a quite (not seen another soul since 18th Dec, last 24 hours, 5 ships 2x are mine, and I bet the 2x cutter are the same CMDR passing through and back!) system a few hops beyond the borders of the bubble to experiment with the BGS, get my head back around all that gubbins.
No sooner do I pick a faction and start 'manipulating' then war happens, so I've picked up a Viper IV (un-engineered, not even fully A rated!) and am trying my hand at Confict Zones.
I gotta be careful, stick with the greenies, make sure I mob up with them and not draw too much 'aggro' - only one rebuy so far (with 1 lost bond!), and about 2mil (so twenty times that re-buy) in cashed combat bonds, its going reasonably well. Although this is a Low intensity zone.
If I was wanting to make money, then going to a High Res would be more lucrative - the wanted ships there are much easier to take down, but I have enough to be going on with, so figuring/remembering the BGS is a more important goal.
I don't expect to achieve much on my own, as a bumbling 'noob', but I'm having fun, and that is surely the point
No pictures yet - I haven't re-configured the camera suite controls to the new Hotas yet...
