G4d my Dom suit that already had damage resistance. It needs mowah powah before I do fighting. So that means even more mats.

I discovered a grade 2 Artemis suit for sale this morning for 750,000 credits. It had improved armour and shields. I judged it a waste of credits since I'll never be involved in combat in an Artemis suit. I would have taken it if it had something useful to exploring like increased sprint duration.
The Artmeis needs very little given what I do with mine. I have a G3 one which I found with faster shield regen already applied. I added reduced tool battery consumption and may, at some time in the future, add better jump assist.
If I found one with night vision I would not turn it down. Part of the appeal of exo biology is the photo opportunity which of course doesn't work in the dark. How would you track down an elusive patch of bacteria in the dark?
Not sure I would spend materials on night vision for an Artemis suit. Good for a Maverick of course.
I also found an Artemis with night vision. I added extra battery capacity, increased jump assist and sprint duration, which makes it great for longer excursions and mountainous terrain. I’m happy with it.
it is tricky to <many swear words deleted> impossible depending on terrain texture, for me the best option is from the ship listening to the Composition scanner. Or if the world is close enough to something emitting enough light go and look on the less dark side.
I haven’t done any engineering of this stuff and currently not particularly interested in starting, I did eventually find a Maverick with Night Vision but they seemed to be super rare at the shops and I was forever being beaten to the ones reported as available.

I'm working on Federation rank to get access to the Corvette. I refuse to do endless Data Courier missions because its repetitive and boring. I'm doing this instead... see, totally different.... 
I do a lot of both, either for influence for the faction I support, or right now for the Federation reputation. I don't get out the ship either. Credits mostly come from pirate massacre missions stacks or those mining rush missions where you buy the commodity to supply it. Going to visit my usual locations for these later to see if any are available. Uto Port in Vistaenis sometimes has 4 or 5 factions offering these as wing missions and two of us sharing with each other can make 750 million inside one hour. Not often conditions are right though. Now I have to supply credits for carrier ups at 25 million a jump in fuel. No point in mining Tritium when you can buy it for around 53K per ton.
Is it just me, or are the weapons on the scorpion a bit underpowered?
Hey now, I spent months and months doing Odyssey missions and slowly upgrading all my gear. I had a blast, but it took a very long time.
To me it was a wonderful experience, because I really enjoyed the missions. I seem to be in the minority for some reason I can't fathom. The Odyssey missions are really well designed, and much more immersive than normal ship-based missions. I like that it takes a long time to upgrade stuff. It's not like there's anything left to do one you have it all upgraded, so making it faster doesn't make much sense to me.
Now that all my stuff is upgraded, though, I'm out in the black doing exobiology and exploration.
I dunno. That whole "gets more accurate as you hold down the fire button" mechanic is bogus, if you ask me. I haven't used the Scorpion for much except climbing steep mountains
Yes, that "accuracy" thing really isn't true at all!I dunno. That whole "gets more accurate as you hold down the fire button" mechanic is bogus, if you ask me. I haven't used the Scorpion for much except climbing steep mountains
I just feel that, with that surge repeater, shields should be stripped with alacrity and then the aculeus should make for ludicrous gibs. *
* I loved that from ROTT back in the day - it's just a shame I can't find a good piccy of it

I actually enjoy EDO missions as well. Some more than others - I tend to avoid illegal missions not because morals but they tend to be bloody annoying - but overall I do like the slower pace of leg stuff. Both literal and proverbial. Hell, when I started Odyssey with freshly cleaned account, I haven't touch my HOTAS for almost two months. Just doing missions and visiting places by taxi.
It's just that I have never found a single pre-upgraded suit in all that time. And even since then, I've only got one upgraded combat suit - the only one I never use (can't even remember the name.
). Maverick and Artemis, the suits I use on daily basis, I had to upgrade myself and to this day I don't have a night vision.grumbles some more
Just passed the one billion credits in assets mark.
Next stop: fleet carrier!Just passed the one billion credits in assets mark.
After those nicely equipped modern carriers patched me up so nice out in Veil East, I hatched a plan. It was the best, most irresponsible plan since my predecessor Rupee Noon 25, who bit the dust returning from the Norma Expanse. Yeah now someday I hope Marv's carrier is just as fine. There is still plenty of space for roughing it, ..enter my plan or, what I'm up to.
I Rupee Noon #26, have cut diagonally across the inner spur region and near connecting with the Colonia bridge series at Vladmir McDoogle's Triumph, in the Flyiedge VN-W c4-51 system. We'll see how flaky that paint job comes ashore. I think that paint job though, it also makes it look a bit like a dixie cup. The wax paper is holding up so far.

They seem bad at first but that I think is down to the initial scatter the longer you hold down the trigger the tighter the group gets and the more damage you can do. But they don't live up to their looks unfortunately.
