This is the build in the exploration configuration between the mining CGs:

Oh, now that I see the whole picture those shields look better. I'd re-work them to round out the resistances a little more, but for an explorer build you're doing good.

Really it depends on how well you practice your escape and, of course, the best defense is to see the attack before it even happens and not be there to let it happen in the first place.

Armor could use some work, but I understand that you're maxing out for exploration.

Good luck out there. Like I said, look for suspicious folks in supercruise and react accordingly, and you're half way home already.

P.S. Why the burst laser? What's that about?

Thanks!

Supposedly, some of the new space creatures in the lagrange clouds react to certain stimuli like light and being tickled by laser fire. That, and playing volleyball with SRV wreckage at meetups. [noob]

I enjoy building super dooper combat spaceships and using them to blow up other people's spaceships.

I also enjoy cycling and cooking (I enjoy hand-baking bread the most). And I dance - mostly east coast swing, but I dance other stuff, too.

I'm an adult with a career, a house, and a family, and a proud combat veteran.

Oh, and by the way, I prefer historical dramas to... whatever "peppa pig" is.

I would suggest you drop your powerplant to a 4D and overcharge it... you'll shave 6t off your mass and you can then up your two shield boosters to A rating for a net 3t loss in mass.

Not to get derailed into detailed build critiques, but for an exploration build that is terrible advice. :eek:

After jump range, a major determinant of travel speed is how much downtime between jumps you have. A D-rated PP + Overcharged is a recipe for high heat, which means not getting as close to the star when scooping and waiting longer to cool off before jumping. If we're looking for more power and less mass, 4A + Armored is the better approach.

The heat though would be terrible, no?

Fair enough.

Personally, I'll take a slightly longer refuel time hit if my trade off leads to a survivability buff.

But to be fair, as a bubble denzin in an Adder I do plod around with an engineered 2D FSD and a 4t fuel tank :D

Yep. As is the integrity. But I'd take the hit for more speed and survivability.

That said, everytime I try to open my cargo hatch this happens at the moment due to eeking all i can out of a 2A plant.

Sure, but not unless I'm within a dozen jumps of a respawn station.

So, as I said, the whole question is academic. No one in the expedition will allow himself to be killed out in the black after months of exploration.


You guys will have some fun over the next week, and maybe also around the time we're at the Sag A* station, but after that, you won't see anyone in open any longer.



Those are both false, ftr.

I'm IN the expedition.

I don't think you've done much exploration. No, my powerplant is fine, and it also powers my mining gear.
