Very geysery today and Fumerola Carbosis, don't think I've seen this color.

If I had thought of getting some Limpets, I might have been able to repair myself. But I noticed my focus was waning, so I wanted to make sure the vouchers were handed in. And I didn't want to risk losing the exploration data I had collected on the way there...

I take it you visited the hazardous RES?
For I had an Anaconda fighting on my "team" in the normal RES...

In the HAZ RES if you see two ships fighting they are often both wanted which makes it a great opportunity for getting both bounties by helping the weaker/more heavily damaged ship then when that fight is over finishing off the survivor, in my Vette I will send the fighter after one while I take the other, if one of the ships isn’t wanted of course just fight on their side.

Good to know for later reference. But for now, I think I'll stick to the normal RES with my Viper.
One thing I noticed is that it takes Morgan about as long to take out a ship with gimballed weapons as it has taken Janet with turreted weapons before...

The hazardous one, yeah. I just had to bail when I suddenly noticed five guys were targetting me and I don't think I even had a fighter out. Not that it would've helped.

Are you in a private group then? I just bumped into a couple of anti-xeno guys and the carnage was fun. There wasn't much time to try my first go at winging up since it was my last run anyway. Though I may go back in later.

And that repair limpet controller is a good idea. I saw your comment before I went back in so I headed next door to Christy Dock and replaced my 3A collector for a repair module instead. It's not like I collect much inbetween finding targets.

Five guys? That's four too many for me.

I'm usually in solo. My inconsistent schedule doesn't work well with meeting other players on a regular basis.

Morgan has both a repair and a collector limpet controller. She might miss some fights, but as she is in dire need of materials, she collects all that she can.
She uses the CG as a measure to unlock Tod, also. The money is a welcome bonus for a fledgling commander. And those scanners might come in handy at some point, who knows?

It was a messy free for all so I must've accidentally targetted a separate wing after destroying a ship. Not intentional. Just not paying attention. Fun though. I ecaped with my bounties.

But yeah, I mostly play in open but it's still solo play. I can do my own thing when I dip in.

And that K-warrant scanner will definitely come in handy for a new commander looking for cash. Double engineered (I think) so no need to waste mats on fastcan. Stick it on a gimbled fire group and forget it's there.

Yeah, it is always advisable to be aware of your surroundings...

I tried open for some time, which was fine until I visited an engineer. After getting ganked twice, I returned to solo.
I'm usually not good at being interdicted, no matter if it is an NPC or a player. With NPCs, I have at least the option to evade the interdiction.

That is a good idea. Cheers.

We're you in open? There's usually a bunch of seal clubbers around in Deciat.

Unfortunately they tend to be rife in any open multiplayer combat game - seal clubbers are low-level predators which scare new players away and kill good servers… there used to be a saying on Titan, an excellent UT community/server still much missed:
“Ban a n00b, save 10 newbs!”
