Lawks... senior moment alerrt.

It seems I have a G5 Executioner just with headshot damage on it - and no other mods! What on earth is going on there? What was I thinking?

I ought to do something about it but I really have no call for such a weapon at present.
That is no excuse not to try something unexpected on it you could come up with the new meta gun, and if not it’s no loss.

I tried that gun in a CZ with stuff that should have improved its capabilities. For me, it didn't go well.

I may just hang on to it pending the appearance of on-foot Thargoid fights.* Come to think of it, that may have been why I picked it up in the first place.

* Coming Soon ™️

I'm currently speeding up my noob's rear end in order to have a bit better gear because of that: I may have one or two wagons trains late in Elite in general, but as a retired DooM'93 guy, there is no way I'can't be there throwing rockets and boomsticks at the face of whatever hellish spawns the very day Thargoids headquarters launches Order 66.

If you are referring to this game called Real Life - that's no match for Elite.

It* might get a 10 for its graphics, but game design and story telling would get a -5 from me. At least.

*: Real Life
Worst. Game. Ever.
 
These Kraits are extremely vulnerable to docking computer damage, I'm tired of making manual landings especially on those orbital outposts. I had a new revelation yesterday, a veritable epiphany, when approaching a res site on a flat trajectory it can dump me out of supercruise up to 50Km away. If I allow the ship to overspeed and back loop throttling back, when the target is in sight I wait for the target lock indicator and it will dump me out 3 to 5Km form the target.

This is good because I'm always leaving from a station in the ring system or a carrier between the rings and GG, if your approaching from a long way off then this doesn't matter. I started doing this because I was being interdicted up to 3 times in a span of .35Ls, which can be madding on my way back for repairs, my ship just doesn't have any fight left in it.
 
I have found the best approach to anywhere in the close proximity of a ring is to try and line up so I am at right angles to the ring plane, that way I am closest to my target when I am closest to the ring.

For stations etc between the planet and the ring leaving at right angles to the ring plane is the fastest way to leave mass lock, I even do that if I am going from the station to a RES in that ring I just perform a a loop so my flight would look n shaped as flying near the ring plane is slow.

I figured a lot of you guys already knew that and I'm sure if I had ran a search here I would have found the answer. It sticks in my head better if I stumble on it, I knew about coming into gravity wells at a right angle, I try to put the station (tiny star) in the center of the planet. Center the moon an the GG then center the station on the moon, seems to work for me.
 
Well now I'm back, in outer space! After almost two years afk. I've been thinking about it since the recent announcements, and figured if I was coming back before the updates start would be better!

So I'm mostly blowing off the dust, marvelling that either my control bindings have survived the reinstall process, that my muscle memory isn't too shabby, and flying the latest CG in a sidey!
