Engineered T9?

deleteduser · Oct 24, 2016

Hey Mods, this could have gone in to 2 other forums so it seemed like here was the best bet...

So, has anyone gone the whole hog, or part hog, on a T9?

Imagine a T9 being 30% better at everything. Still not going to be worth a damn in a real fight but will be better at its traditional roles of miner/trader. Jump farther, take more hits, maybe even swat down some pirates.

I've upgraded the shields to a nice resist level and of course the fsd. I was thinking about the drives but i fear more speed makes him uncontrolable

He makes now full A and full loaden 18ly

i'm happy about him but to be honest....since i have a cutter now....he collects dust

I love him really, the feeling of him is just undescribable. He is unique and will ever be! [heart]

Once you get a 'Cutter or a 'Conda, the T-9 is kind of useless. Cutters and Anacondas do everything better, faster, and with less risk of getting shot out of the sky. And you can refit them to do other things.

A T-9 is a dead end ship, pretty much.

A cow that's more cowy?

No thanks!

Once I can afford one, I'll Engineer it out as well. I mean, why not?

Yes, it becomes a strictly RP ship after you can afford an Anaconda.

I did, modded FSD, Shield, Boosters, Thruster, Weapons, Armour, you know all the fun stuff. But will replace the shields soon with prismatics I then mod and probably gonna change the shieldbooster too. Its a great ship and modded even greater, lots of fun fighting pirates with it and of course if you like the kind of handling lots of fun to fly around.

Love the ship, as far as bang for bucks goes hes a steal.

The T9 is most beautiful large ship in the game. It's not good any any particular task. But it's more than good enough for the wimpy NPCs in 2.2. Even the Elite FDLs drop like flies.

I have modified mine.

Grade 4 FSD boost, gives maybe 22LY empty, 17LY at 400 tons.

7A Shield Generator with Grade 5 Thermal Resistance.
2x 0A Shield Boosters with Grade 2 Thermal Resistance.
1x 0A Shield Booster with Grade 3 Heavy Duty mod.

Shields rated at 529MJ, with Resistances of +38 Kinetic, +50 Thermal, and +50 Explosive.

Stock everywhere else. I carry no weapons.

It's a really fun ship to fly. I enjoy the cockpit, can't wait to take a walk someday and explore it.

I've done the same as you, FSD, resistant shields/boosters. But I've also upgraded the powerplant and armour.
I plan on upgrading the drives with lvl 5 clean drives at some stage.

It is a fun ship to fly, just because it feels big and heavy. I'm looking forward to when FD gives the T9 the same treatment it just gave the T7.
