These days I regularly switch back and forth between space and foot stuff.Finding myself mostly taking scavenger removal missions. I ought to try a couple of on foot assassinations - the marks can apparently be quite tooled up so it ought to improve my skills. But probably not coz the git gud eludes me.
I suppose I could go and do some "classic" ED stuff... but the on foot game keeps pulling me back
Brilliant - thank you, I’ll have a good trawl through.
I was having a lot of CTD's about a month or so ago (right after the update), turned out it was a virtual memory issue (swap file). I had to increase the size by moving it to a different drive. Maybe check your system and program log files for a clue as to what's causing it. Sorry I'm not much help, I know it sucks.
I had two of them earlier, but it seems fine now.
While you're out there truckin', don't forget to drop some on a ganker every now and then. They love it!I mainly ran around Allied space in my new Beluga all weekend. With business class seating for eighty and Saud Kruger lines, you are sure to sit where you can see a window, or at least where you can see and speak to someone who can see the window, and find out about the view that way.
Now, for a refreshing change of pace, out comes the freighter. The Alliance has a real biowaste problem and now don't get me started on boom time delivery jokes .. we ship this shizzle FOR THE PEOPLE!
Been getting them over the past week. I thought it was down to my GPU, as I usually get some form of coloured reptile.
Like you I've been enjoying mining with an FC to assist. I set up a Cutter for mining, but the hard points on the back sticky-out things cause problems for aiming with the Abrasion blaster and/or Miner Chargers and the lasers fitted there mean you need to get that bit closer to be in range. The Cutter's not bad for mining, just a bit arkward, IMO.I've been out core mining for the first time in months, and the first time with a carrier orbiting the planet I'm mining the rings of.
The availability of the carrier removes a few things you would otherwise have to cram into your mining ship - like a fuel scoop, possibly FSD booster, heck I made do with a light weight 5D FSD. I also went into the field naked, by which I mean, no shields. But strong hull. The ship in question rarely has shields on it anyway.
The panoramic view of the asteroid field while using PWA is unrivalled, the boost speed a credible 530m/s loaded with limpets or minerals, and the agility around the rocks is unmatched for a fairly compact ship that can haul 96t of minerals back to the carrier. That's enough for me on one trip.
I like the Orca for core mining, but the length does make collecting chunks a bit cumbersome. I'd guess the Clipper's width is an issue, but not tried this ship core mining yet.
The ship'ss last trick is the abrasion blaster and seismic launcher can be mounted centre line to the ship just above the cockpit which makes a noticeable difference to the speed and accuracy of this part of the operation. It helps to compensate for the good but not amazing boost speed for finding the next core to crack.
All round I'm not sure what ship could top it for my tastes, except maybe the Clipper if it turns out to not be too wide. Maybe one of it's larger sister ships. To borrow another writer's phrase, "All hail the Chief".
Same here.
Seem to occur for me when the Cutter is just about to set down at a station. When I log back in I'm 20 clicks away. I assumed it was the Cutter at fault as the Auto-Pilot is FooBar anyway. Haven't been flying other ships recently, as I've been hauling for the Salvation shilling.
Without invoking the 4 Yorkshiremen sketch, mine's a GTX 660 with 2Gb RAM. I still blame the Cutter.
I use the Cutter for laser mining, but this ship seems ill suited to core mining due to its sheer size and lack of agility. If I were to try core mining with it I'd put siesmic charge launcher and abrasion blaster on the medium hard points mounted on the fuselage - unless I wanted the extra challenge
I've actually never had the game crash while piloting my Cutter.
I really wish core mining was worth doing. The Python is awesome at it. It is also incredibly fun...other than the fact it takes you 30 minutes to find one single asteroid worth mining.
As is commonly known, best credits per hour is laser mining platinum, but I'm after variety over getting credits as fast as possible these days.
