The "Battle Cow" is back! With a turret bug...

Finally, after searching half the galaxy, i have found the A8 shield generator! That means the "Battle Cow" can now be spotted in the open galaxy, on the live server! Sadly, we have encountered a nasty turret bug:

You can see, that my class 2 pulse turrets are firing when set to "forward fire", but they refuse to work, when set to any other mode. I have spent 3 hours in the nav beacon to test it and its very inconsistent: sometimes they work well, sometimes only one of them is firing, most of the time both of the top turrets dont work at all. The bottom one (class 2 beam) is working just fine all the time...

Im ticketing it, and fitting class 2 beam turrets for now.

Luckily, sometimes it works just fine. This is the first fight with a Conda on the live server:

And this is the result of 2 hours bounty hunting in a nav beacon:

I plan to make videos about different type of weapons fitted, chase some players, visit conflict zones etc.

If anyone has an idea how to use the "Battle Cow", type it in the comments.

Swap one of the utility-mounts for an FSD Interdictor, troll CMDR traders at Yembo to eject their entire cargo hold under threat of piracy-death. Then politely thank & inform them of your zero hold capacity; they are free to scoop it back at their leisure ;)

Hah, great idea for a video, i might try just that. Actually, i have the interdictor on the "Battle Cow" ;). By the way, does anyone know a good software to edit videos before uploading it on the Youtube? I want to add some text and combine some videos...

Turreted Cobra... "Like wings on a cows back"...

Actually I am...:D

I recently purchased and parked a trade Python where it can make around 2-3mil an hour and am currently saving for a pimped out Cobra with no cargo hold at all for a combat support ship. The idea is that the hard points of a Cobra are exceptional for turrets because of it's shape allowing the turrets to have full fields of fire. A support ship if using gimbled or fixed cannot stay as close to the mother ship, as a turret mounted Cobra can. I had done some testing with turrets on the Cobra much earlier, and found that flipping the ship to face it's top or bottom to the target meant that it relieved much, if not all of the need to chase the target, leaving the Cobra to fly where it wished while constantly engaging the chosen target with fire.

Sort of like wings on a cow's back you know :rolleyes:
