I've been playing for a couple of weeks. Finially figured out hot to make money (cough... bounty hunting). My goal is to eventually get a better ship, but I'll think I'll keep this for the time my new ship gets blowed up and I need to to restablish my bank account.
Looking for suggestions! I'm mullying over upgrading thrusters which I believe improves turning performance, while also considering upgrading my bulkhead to Military grade. For those who don't know, improved bulkheads help protect your ship from incoming damage when the shields are down. However I'm concerned that uping my bulkheads to military grade, because of adding mass, will diminish the the advantage of having improved thrusters. It could be a wash performance wise, while increasing protection.
For weapons, there is not a lot to choose from. A burst laser shows an increase in DPS (damage per second) over the default laser, but my understanding is that they over heat quickly. My understanding is that the gatling gun is great for taking down a ship at close range, after you've knocked down their shield, so I'm thinking about equipping one gatling gun, but think that with a single laser, it will take longer to take the shield possibly neutralizing any advantage?
I"m also thinking about electronic countermeasures. What is the best path forward? Thanks!
