[PSA] The Corvette Is Unlucky.

[Chris Simon]

Just warning!

I've visited 3 Engineers.
And managed to not get a single "above average" roll on anything!

It's cursed I tell you. Lol

Of course it is.
You have to engineer your parts on a Cutter and then transfer them to the Corvette.
You also need to be the top rank in CQC in three consecutive months and visit A* three times to have the ensured >100% rolls.

I know it's stupid rules. but I didn't make them up. Sorry.

you think you are unlucky?

i am currently trying to find a discounted 8A Powerplant for my corvette.
ingame interface helping with the matter?
- >NO. all you can see there, are LYR control systems...
EDDB helping with the matter?
-> no, because every station that is listed, will be out of stock when i arrive there.

maybe after searching the whole evening, i will be able to crawl back to sirius to mod it...

I had that while trying to find a 4A Fuel Scoop for my FDL.
12 stations later, and it would have been quicker to just fly it down to Maia on the 3A I had installed.
Lol


Best part, I had a 4A Scoop in storage.
But it was in Maia.

Pin your blueprint before rolling. Don't believe me, just do it, it costs nothing to pin a blueprint . . . o7

I don’t believe you. The only way to get truly favourable rolls is to abandon 200 platinum exactly 900 meters above the station. If you can get ten or more to land on your designated pad, you’re guaranteed a god roll.

 

[AutoMechanical]

I always get trash rolls so.... Eh

 

[Ian Skippy]

Woooh. I got a good roll on a shield booster. Lol

Off to the Dweller.

Slightly off topic;

Is this ok for shields?
2031Mj
K-Res: 44.4%
T-Res: 48.4%
X-Res: 60.3%

That's in 7A standard shields, and 5 boosters (2 heavy duty grade 4&5, 3 Res augmented grade 3).

I can improve them a bit once I re-gather the needed materials I just wasted on 'meh' rolls. Lol

Depends on what you want to do. For PvE its more than fine, mine is around 1300 or so and they never drop. For PvP its too low.

I'm in a Love -Hate relationship with the Engineers...

After updating Farseer to reach Grade Five FSD Range... getting a feel for process.

Take my Diamondback Explorer to her for Trial Run...
Get a few decent rolls and leave with 49ish Ly jump range on my A-Rated Explorer...
This is the Love Part... Right Here...

Thinking "Heck, This Ain't So Bad..."
I call in my Cutter Trader into the System while I go on the "Oh So Fun" Scavenger Grind...
Gather Fifty Rolls worth of Mats and Crap... about Four Daze Work for me...
Already Tired of This Part...

Get one Decent Roll, First Roll for my Cutter, up to 30.5 Light Years, should have hit Apply...
But think Surley Better is coming...
Run outta Rolls with it jumping 28 Ly...
Light Hate Stage for Engineering firming up...

So go gather another Fifty Rolls worth of Crap...
Not really enjoying the Gathering of RNGesus Crap...
Get my DBX Gunned Down in a Bounty Hunting Fiasco while scanning Wakes at Nav Becon...
Call in my Battle Python just in case...

Round Two, Fifty Rolls for Cutter G5 FSD Range...
Not one single Decent Roll...
Leave with a Very Hot 29 Ly Jump Range...
Not a Happy Engineering Customer...

So two weeks into Engineering for me and I've got only a little to show for my Effort and Time...
Plus I'm barely breaking even on Expenses, nowhere Close to my Normal Weekly Income...

Im taking a Break from Engineering...
Need to go make some Credits doing something I can do Sans RNGesus!!!

End Rant...

Luv Y'all FDev...
Luv E.D....
Hate You RNGesus... and Stupid Mat Grind...

Same here, I just got my corvette yesterday and went to three engineers too and just got average rolls before my materials ran out. Maybe the RNG "gods" have left, because 3.0 is coming with previous-roll limiters for bad rolls.

 

[StiTch]

Mate, just don't go there.

Sat down with that ruthenium-pinching goit Mr. Cheung last night. Two rolls on my iClipper's C7 bi-weaves in...nearly god roll material; strong boosts to both optimal strength/mass, regen boost, big integrity boost, just over max thermal resistance.

Seventy-five rolls on my iCourier's new shield later, and the best I get? Resistances at max values, a 5% regen boost and a 1% mass decrease.

And people said you don't find trolls in PvE.
