So I decided to take the last 3 and a half months off from Elite and now I need to get caught up on some outfitting info pertaining to te recent weapon changes and the upcoming 2.3 patch.
All of these questions pertain to updating my Corvette for 2.3
So here goes...
1.) Shields - I'd like to know what values these diminishing returns are at both in terms of MJ's and resists. (Yes, I know it's Beta and subject to change still). I'm trying to determine what combination of reisist and heavy boosters to use also reinforced or thermal resist on my prismatic. (In my live testing I'm extremely disappointed with both but maybe te new regen rates will make up for the vastly diminished capacity)
2.)Military Hull with reinforcement or Reactive Surface with thermal resist? I have both but have not been able to test yet.
3.)Module reinforcements - Do they stack and what is the best combination of these to use? Currently using one of each in my military slots as that seemed to be best at first glance. Can these be engineered? I see no mention on Inara and it seems woefully out of date now.
4.)What is the new money making method? Long range hauling? Smuggling? Bounties? Passengers? (I hope it's not passengers...)
5.)What's up with the alien ruin situation? Is it solved now? If not is that high payout mission for it only offered to the first to complete it or will anybody be able to go do it? Honestly I can't be bothered if there is no reward. I will have a look around sometime but I saw it well enough in youtube videos to take any joy of discovery out of it.
That said... I must say I'm a little disgusted to return to the forum only to see the same crybaby whining about engineers and RNG. If you still think like this... You are doing it wrong! Plain and simple. Not just my opinion. Fact. I used to teach people how to do it but it's like trying to drain the ocean with a bucket. I can't be bothered anymore.
Anyway, I am really excited for 2.3! I spent last night upgrading new weapons and have several fully engineered loadouts ready to play around with now. Really hoping we will get to test all of this on some thargoids soon
