This is the Cobra Mk.III I'm using for on foot ops: https://s.orbis.zone/f2wk
Federal Dropship.
So.. which is better(*) a single missile, or a single pack?
Ok so that really needs to be two questions
- Better = more effective at killing ground based combatants ?
- Better = way more impressive explosions ?
I repurposed a Krait II. I'm not going to be engineering the missiles. I'm not seeing a need for it.
The missiles do turn the base hostile. I do turn off the base defenses before I leave. She was originally built as a CZ warship and she laughs at the system defense force ship(s) that may show up when she leaves.
I also agree whole heartedly to whom ever said 'don't park at the base'. I had to rebuy my DBX because I didn't realize that scavengers could take a ship out so quickly. That's when I changed directions.

Packhound cannot be fired on something without have it locked in targeting. They are good against some tougher threats which shows at least for some time as "target" for ship. Dumbfires on the other hand can be fired anytime and are perfect for destroying on foot NPCs due explosions (area damage). On foot NPCs are really hard to hit with ship weapons because you cannot lock aim on them. It is possible, I killed one with imperial hammer, but it was more luck as something else.

Boo! I was hoping for the equivalent of shotgun missiles
I found fixed beams quite useful, but you still have to hit them and they dodge, and you hit them and they dodge, and you hit them and they fall over.
Compare to Missile, missile, oh look they flew around and don't get up.
Me too. Can't beat the speed and hardpoints
Keelback
shakes head No such thing as overkill. 'Always cheat; always win. If you walk away, it was a fair fight. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.'
Adder
I want some cargo (might as well earn a bit from settlement trading if you are going there), supercruise assist and advanced docking computer because it's convenient, surface scanner to find POI, shields, SRV, a guardian shield booster, collector limpets for any high-grade USS on the way, a fuel scoop. Added a passenger bay for completeness. Being able to land on small pads is also a big plus.
So that means a cobra MK4, which is able to deal with the elite ranked NPCs hunting me all the time. Alternatives would mostly be a Dolphin (combat...) or Viper MK4 (wanted slightly more optionals...).
A different ship for a change.

For Horizons I usually ran an Adder, Odyssey its varied, but been a DBS for a while - i got used to one for some space activities, 4 hardpoints, 4 utils, just about enough optionals, enough jumprange for bubble antics..
Been working on a Keelback recently too, a friend was talking about trying the game again as a ground-walker, and it gives the SLF option for fun/fire support.

That's bait
