Happy hunting/rescuing CMDRs.

Not yet curious enuf to try an AX CZ. Combat sux0r too, not enough huevos

to go higher than NHSS4. When all else fails, lower the standards.

Quite happy that sensors are back in NHSS4s, less happy at the 20 or 40 out of one chance to grab more sensfrag mats.

Taygeta is complete, three to go ...

ZAKALWEINC8876 · Feb 8, 2020

Well, that was "a bit tougher" to complete!

Nice work everyone

Hi guys, I'm currently in Lembass trying to complete combat zones, I got a little bored of the guardian weapons and started a crazy construction + engineering of advanced multi-cannons, 2 days I took, but today when I went to test them I saw that there is no indicator of ax ammo after synthesizing .... I thought there were some markers on the modules screen before, but it seems that they have disappeared for me ... how can I know what type of ammunition I am using right now? has anyone else noticed this? thanks

? shoot first? qwest shuns later?

Wondered the same, weigh back when- have not synthesized any +5 +10% AX ammo in a long while. Was not seeing much difference- getting a little better at combat now but that's not saying much.

Still 4 incursion nearing the end of week 2 - maybe we'll get a second one finished this week:

quote (sometimes bugged) missions ... [kill thargs...] /quote

The only glitches I've noticed are for stacked mishes some of them won't start counting until after the earlier (?) ones clear. Maybe mishes from the same faction? Dunno.

As far as i know only missions from different factions can be stacked. (1 kill counting towards multiple missions.) I do not think this is a bug, but was a change Fdev made because of people kept stacking kill skimmer mission to the nth degree. (like competing 20+ kill skimmer missions at once.)

Shh don't let FDev know.

Doh. Dangit. Scout hunting w/o mishes is ... profitsss ...

Factabulous · Feb 13, 2020

As expected after the restart:

Taygeta has gone into repair as expected. Probably enough ti do for another week, given how long Marginals seem to stick around now.

Wait... thargoid kill missions are back, and you don't have to kill the thargoid specifically in the mission USS?

Nope - any will do. Lovely

Edit: I was finding the Aegis ships would give multiple missions per faction, rescue ships seemed not to do that. I may have not being paying enugh attention though

That is correct. They did a sensible thing

If the mission is kill scouts or kill an interceptor (ie not kill a hydra/cyclops specifically) then anything you kill in an AXCZ counts. Which is breathtakingly practical.

Well done FD, now can you stop all this sillyness so i still have stuff to rant about at the Cambridge meet please

Holy damn I'm glad they reverted that change... I might get back down there now.

I believe this is correct.
Stacking lots from Aegis ships.
None from Rescue ships. I was doing this and checking over several days.

Only got this to work with Scouts, not Interceptor missions.
