At least the Cutter feels like a big ship. T9 as well. Not like Vette and Conda.

I wanted to try plasmas. Then I ended up building this pewpew Krait.
s.orbis.zone
It's loads of fun at low and med CZ. There's also an alternate "material gatherer" loadout for hazres with cargo bay and collector limpet controller. There was some learning curve with the plasmas but now I mostly hit things with them. Okay, medium-to-large things, but still. At hazres the best tactic is to fly behind a wanted ship, then fire all three at once, follow and repeat until materials appear.

Straight into the station noob-hammers.

Well today is the first time I got double interdicted; or rather, interdicted, and then ganged up on.
The mission pirate I expected, and frankly they're good money and mats so I just drop out of supercruise the moment they interdict and then blow them up.
What I did not expect was some random trash talk from another pirate who wasn't related to the mission, who then bamfed in during the fight with the first guy.
I mean, obviously I clobbered them both and looted double mats, because you don't just interdict a cutter and live, but it was interesting AI behaviour that I've not seen before

For conflict zones?
Shield cell banks
No, really, I run 4 on my python when going to a CZ. Only 2 are powered up at a time, but that is plenty to fix an immediate threat, and at worst boost out of trouble, recharge, turn off the depleted SCBs, turn on the unused ones, and get back to the fight. Stopped failing CZs once I was doing that
I have one SCB on my Krait. Can usually do 2-3 mediums with it. A useful trick for CZs is to boost like 10 km away and reboot the ship via the right-hand panel - 50 % shields in 25 seconds.For conflict zones?

Is there a oddy problem with on foot NPC scanning.??
Can bounty scan a dead scav but not a dead NPC you may need to clone an I'd from?? And long-range weapon scan not showing any NPC details until the first hit.
Hot weather here has caused thermal shut down of my laptop several times in the middle of threat 4 pirate missions. No rebuys as yet..

Agreed!
Not every encounter is the same which keeps one on ones toes. I've had similar but the random NPC targeted my pirate rather than me. Fun times!Well today is the first time I got double interdicted; or rather, interdicted, and then ganged up on.

Yes, there appears to be an outstanding bug for scanning downed NPC's. Not sure of the fix ETA. However, and strangely, just recently, I've been scanning them OK. Go figure.Is there a oddy problem with on foot NPC scanning.??

I've had occasions where I've stacked Assassination missions and they both drop in to my instance. I try not to do it now as the Feds always seem to kill one and I get a failed mission.
Someone has a sense of humour:
You only need to hit the enemies that drop in once to achieve some sort of damage. After that let the other NPCs take care of them and you get credited for the kill
hmmm, start pc ........ NO OPERATING SYSTEM found...
who changed my pc..you have to do better than switching my ssd drives around
back to business.
scanning more planets.....yes i know that quite boring but i look on to the Cg yesterday and search dulos to find that there was no Station there and no planets.just the mainstar and a few carriers,lol (i rename ody>Oddity).

Indeed there's a Elite novel based in the system, part of the original kickstarter deals. One of the Drew Wagar lore tour episodes stopped here and had a chat to the author. She was an interesting person, worth watching if it's still available on the tubes.Someone has a sense of humour:
Yes, it's a bug that dead NPCs cannot be scanned for IDs right now
Been to a Guardian site for the first time since Odyssey launched.
Could not land on a planet as it kept telling me that I needed Horizons (I was in Odyssey). After relogging, relaunching the game, trying Open, PG and Solo, I gave in and launched Horizons.
The Guardian site was now on the other side of the planet, so I flew there, but I couldn't land because the game kept saying that I needed Horizons!
In the end it worked, but it was one of the silliest bugs I've seen so far.

But if you don't tag them and the cops/other pirate(s) kill them: mission fail.You only need to hit the enemies that drop in once to achieve some sort of damage. After that let the other NPCs take care of them and you get credited for the kill
It is nice watching pirates gang up on each other though.
Mighty flat planet. Couldn't find much on it at all.

Odd, it won't attach like usual, only via a link.
