I have a courier with 2D engine focused power distributor as a fast, well, courier and mission runner for Inf++ rewards - it has just enough space for the required limpet controllers and limpets. I used to have low power draw multi-cannons on it, but even with these it overheated in combat. I don't thin kthe power distributor I had helped. I think the power distributor even on 3A is a bit small for the hardpoint load out, and it gets hot as a result.@Nekozji As another curiosity: I'm building an ultra light Courier for combat, and even with an armored PP that ship boils. Funny thing is that in any other ship I've tried, once heat reaches 70%, the OH I have stuffed in the dashboard starts smoking. In the Courier, not until close to 100% heat, no smoke at 70. Strange ship

Finished engineering a new Asp Explorer, and decided to board the Gnosis megaship for a while. Currently spending a week exploring at the top part of the Galaxy waiting for it to jump further.. Time will tell if I endure its long rift trip..
And it's still going!
I finally found something biological that is not a patch of goo on the ground or a tuft of grass. The planet is quite beautiful with the atmosphere. I see odd puffs of dust sometimes - a bit unnerving.
I think those are dust bunnies of the future, a bit evolved from the ones we have now under the bed.

Should I be ashamed that mine was on the first page? This thread is the Taggart of the forum.
Not that I am implying that crimes have been committed in the thread.
Mine's got beams (currently)
Minor changes since my last post:Coriolis EDCD Edition
A ship builder, outfitting and comparison tool for Elite Dangerous

I built it to be agile, so I can avoid being hit by enemy ships, while I circle them aiming at their modules, but meh. Mainly because it's got one of the lasers down under like a FDL. I can't have that. But agile, it is!
Edit: the fuel scoop is to make it easy to go to Deciat etc. to hunt gankers

You might want to reconsider the experimental effect on your thrusters. At this mass, Drive Distributors are faster.Mine's got beams (currently)

+1 go with drive distributors on iCourier with 3A enhanced drives - definitely quicker.
Not surprised the ship gets cooked with those beams. Try one or two of them with thermal vent to dump heat instead of oversized effect. They are also draining the power distributor really fast. Efficient engineering will keep them firing longer but will be heavier.Mine's got beams (currently)

Only the not insubstantial time spent on the thread and in-game!
Well this thread becoming one of the 4 most visited place whenever I open the browser. The other 3 are Instagram, Facebook and a local political forum.
Orzz
For a moment there I misread this and my brain went "Wow - this thread is getting more hits than FB and Insta!?". I very nearly crashed into a 2G HMC.
PS If there are any lurkers out there thinking about posting here, please do. We'd love to hear from you!
Which is fine as long as they were false teath.
Indeed. And that's another symptom of getting old: when you and your teeth go to bed separately.
Just found an SDP... I'd give it up for two smear campaigns...
And regret it later.
Election won 4vs0 Total Victory (looks like I chose my system wisely) and now the faction that requested my help has risen from second lowest MF in the system to second highest.
We now need to formulate a plan ready to pull off a 20% influence swing to force a civil war and retake the system; by the people, for the peopleā¦or summink.
From what Iāve learned so far the plan is going to involve completing lots of missions but perhaps also enlisting the help of the anarchy faction to help degrade the ruling factionās overwhelming influence.
The other thing Iāve learned is BGS talk can be tinder dry and this thread likes screenshots, soooooā¦next time, action pictures!

I know that guy. At least he's not the lowest MF.
