Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[CMDR-NOBODY]

wow, super pen and feedback cascade make my rails cool alot! even with 4x spamming together didn't get me cooked!

May be i can put a c3 lr/tv beam under belly. C4 beam would be too cap thristy??

Discovered an Earth Like World today! It's my second one, in all these years.

The system was pretty cool, with 4 terraformables and a couple landable w/atmosphere types.

Here's the lovely little earth-like:


I also found the caterpillar graveyard, very sad


The sandy color was giving me dune buggy vibes


There was a truly massive crater, very impressive. This is just the edge.

Wait, wait, wait... a community goal? That I can actually participate in?

Sounds like it's time for a full cargo barge refit

Edit: or not, there's really none of those commodities left already

improving the inf on inara nexus , in lhou mans.

hey where you going , wanna lift anyhow aren't you supposed to protected the base

Just wanted to refer you to the CG thread - but then I saw you found it yourself.

Just picked up a G3 Executioner (no mods). Be interesting to see how it stacks up against my G4 Intimidator (again, no mods). I've always favoured a ranged approach in my fighting so maybe it will do nicely - at least the mats are fairly easy to get to make it a G4. We'll see!

It will be noisy, the scav's will come running... Run and hide at height

Finally understood why anyone would want a docking computer.

It's for the Nth trip of a community goal, when it's late at night, you're tired, a little bit drunk, and you just don't trust yourself to land on a planet right now.

(It's also faster than me, holy heck!)

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

I always use a DC. I can dock easily enough, but I like to flit around a bit, looking at the gal and sysmap etc. while my ship takes care of business.

Hmm. I always find scavs like to throw granades at me when I'm on the rooftops. Must be my suave elan and alluring visage...

My alt is participating in her newly acquired Python. Things are looking up

Thing is, I can get out of a station faster than the AI. I'm around them and gone while they're lining up on the slot.

But for actual docking, especially planetary... the pad is always at a weird angle, and as a human I can't tell when I'm 200m above it, so I have to come in like a runway. The DC just drops me down vertically. That was quite a time saver... but I also begrudge giving it a slot! Wish the whole kaboodle was just an upgrade to the ship's computer, one off payment, not a module.

Note: once the DC is engaged you can already plot your next destination. Very good when humping back and forth to your carrier (in another system).

Yep yep. Do this all the time. In the name of efficiency.

Boost boost booost, no boost no go! My IC is pending for the EPT upgrade... getting out of the slot in 800+m/s is hmmmm, yumyum

Farming materials to engineer my new ship: Imperial Courier: Baby Blue.

It will complement Deep Blue my Federal Corvette and take the role of Bounty Hunter in Resource Extraction Site [High], since I often park my Carrier next to one it's perfect.

I already tested it as it is and it is a very fun ship to play, but not really suited for the hazardous Sites or Assassination missions where it won't be strong enough, for those, the Corvette is unbeatable.

Been to those two planets for Raw materials, topped up one of my inventories and half the other...
HIP 36601 - C 1 a - Polonium
HIP 36601 - C 1 d - Ruthenium

I always explain that too myself as being fallout from the AI troubles they had before my time, it was decided that Docking Computers would be Babbage engines as a bunch of cams and gears was unlikely to be able to reprogrammed itself for world domination.

Of course this doesn’t fully explain why DCs a few years ago were homicidal maniacs bent on boosting you into anything solid enough to destroy you.

As long as you can dodge round the T9 and Beluga that collided in the slot just as you hit boost.

On the planet docking... do what the DC does at outposts: nose dive until close then flip. Does the same on FC approach.
