And I am using a xbox pad on pc, and it is possible to play almost without a mouse and keyboard. But you must combine two buttons on pad.
Almost? I only use my keyboard to alt-tab if I want to interact with my other screens.
I don't think the game creates the keyboard prompt when you click on a text field on PC.
Depends on your load out. I remember that I killed Anacondas in my multi-purpose Asp.
Yeah but losing hardpoints to mining lasers and internals to collectors, refinery, and cargo is a pretty substantial impact on combat effectiveness.
Obviously it isn't as effective but the claim was that winning against an Anaconda is impossible. It's not. I played the first few years exclusively in multi purpose ships, mostly Asp and Cobra. I managed to kill every NPC in game. I never used HRPs, MRPs or SCBs. I didn't engineer my ships either. And I am not even good at combat, every dedicated PvPer will defeat me.

Right, but that's an ASP outfitted for mining and combat. It's going to be sacrificing some mining utility and honestly I hate flying the ASP so much that I can't even really think about Core mining in the thing.
Sorry but that's simply not true.
I just get behind them and fire all weapons...
You're sacrificing a lot of your power for mining tools and are going to be hauling either limpets or cargo, which is going to slow you down. Plus you'll have an undersized shield in most cases, and Point Defense to prevent cargo being vented.
no i believe you, been looking into the engeneering and looks like i was missing out on alot. but i would be very happy and gratefull if you were willing to still wing up and let me learn from you,if your willing to?It's been ages since I flew one, but in a fully set up Vulture, which is a small ship, I'm confident enough to wipe the floor with any single NPC opponent outside a combat zone. With a fully kitted out medium ship (same size class as your AspX), I will kill any NPC ship, and (with a diffferent loadout) dominate the majority of CZs - and I am by no means an exceptionally good combat player. If I need to be reminded of that, I try to fly to Jaques in Open...
If you think I'm lying, come over to Colonia. We can wing up and tackle a few RES or CZs. I have holidays between 22. December and 12. January, so timezone is somewhat optional for a single demonstration.
If you're saying that a medium (as is your AspX) ship can't be kitted out for both NPC interdiction survival and mining, we can also have a go - although in this case, I'd prefer to use a Krait Mk.II. But usually, I go core mining in a DBX and simply ignore the NPCs. NPC interdictions are easy to escape. If you want to join, I could also set up a Keelback - but expect to get bored, as I won't fight in one of those.
P.S.: Mining in the Colonia area is also better than arond the Bubble
also well said, and thanks. ive gone to playing in solo mode. think that may be better for learning the game, and if i read things correctly there is already a "security blanket" in place to help keep me alive in game. i just didnt see it,might never have if not for some of the better people who posted great advice thank you all! it still bothers me that there are people who target the new or weak as opponents to attack, but i guess thats what happens when small minded people get big guns. again thank you all for helping and in a little while hope to see you out in the dark, once i "get gud" and for anyone i might have been rude twards sorry it was frustration,but when first read some of the comments didnt help. and for those that just spit out crap,hope to bump into you once i get gud
can i get to colnia in solo then switch over and meet up with you or do i need to get there in open to be able to meet you?
You can travel in Solo and switch to Open. I recommend switching after you've docked and handed in your exploration data.
