Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

Hopefully putting my first post on this forum.
I got back from a trip round the galaxy, visiting all 42 regions, just in time to participate in the Xbox beta.
My scan data from the trip gave me enough to buy my FC this week, so I (like so may others) have been filling it up with Tritium.
I had to divert from the task this evening, as I had an appointment with the click and collect Prismatic shield store.
Having done that I returned to my FC to discover that I can't now get off it due to another issue with the update.
I was hoping to take a short trip into the black over the weekend. I tagged a couple of systems with pristine icy rings earlier, and I wanted to check whether the hotspots had changed. Knowing my luck, even though the systems are about 2kLY outside the bubble, I'll still get a couple of NPC pirates and a wing of Sirius Corp mercs in with me.
Anyway, my apologies for the wall of text, I'll go away now and see if there are any other threads I can jump into.
 
It's funny, on my PC on Coriolis.io I managed to kit out a T7 into a kind of quantum state. It's fantastic, 50ly, the exact shield I wanted, good speed, runs cooler than stock...

But somehow my attempts to remake it on my phone are utterly failing. I don't know how I did it and it is driving me up the wall! 😅

I know I can just copy paste the link from my pc, but it has become a matter of some importance to me. I can't say I learned anything if I can't recreate it. 😆

That brings me to a question, I noticed there is another site just like Coriolis.io out there. I think it's called Edsy? What's the difference between the two sites?

Edsy same kind of thing as Coriolis.
Personally I don't like the layout, prefer Coriolis.
Use it on my phone mainly.

I prefer Coriolis when I just have to throw a quick build together from scratch. I prefer edsy for making tweaks to existing builds.

I really miss the old EDSY (E : D Shipyard) - I know that it is just from habit but I really relied on it for years and then they changed it into something that "feels mucky". I almost miss it is much as Thrudds - now that really was a terrible sin for that gem of a site to be allowed to expire.

They both do the same job. The Coriolis site looks nicer. On the other hand, I've noticed that there are occasionaly some discrepancies between Coriolis and the game in terms of how engineered modules actually behave. EDSY has been more accurate for me historically, although I haven't used either site for my engineering for a long time - I have enough mats to just max every mod, and will store or sell a module that I no longer use.
I have spare accelerant to share.🔥🔥🔥
And now, a word from our sponsors!

Njiri Fuel Logistics:
Fleet Oiler services now available in the bubble!
Competitive prices!

Been doing more Lunar Landing Games on Achenar 3. I thought I'd make things hard by going in with a stock Sidewinder and Hauler but all it really took was patience. Though they're light I thought the lack of power would make it more of a challenge. All my previous High G landings around 6-10 Gs were in my Anaconda, which is heavy but had enough power to get me out of trouble. So I went with my Type 9 as it's heavy and flies like crap. I wasn't quite prepared for the way I dropped like a brick no matter how much upward thrust and boost I applied gravity just kept bringing me down. I managed to land it... if you can call it that. I smacked into the surface pretty hard and knocked out my shields and quite a bit of my hull, then turn my hull down to 1% just trying to set down on a good spot. It was funny but so ugly I couldn't take much pride in it.

Bought yourself a carrier with proceeds from explo data!? Holy Shackleton, Batman! Rep.

+1 for both of these...
 
I spent about 6 billion, and then put a billion into the carrier account to cover upkeep for...a long time.

I had saved up 8 billion for this endeavor, so it worked out well enough.

---------------------

On another note, I've always wanted to fly my Anaconda out to Hutton Orbital and get some photos. Well...today I did! :p

(got a mug, too, and stored it on my carrier :) )
Are you going to collect at least one of each rare good and store it upon your carrier?

A quick thanks to those following my journey to Triple Elite. As you can see below I'm now within one play session of reaching the goal. I'm sure I can fit that in sometime this weekend, so ... watch this space!

Excellent - good luck! @@@07

As for me, well, had a bad morning.

Struggled to drop into one of the new LTD3 spots - very narrow band - and when I did get there, all I got was 30 measly diamonds :(

Then, I completely 'd a fuel scoop. As I waited for the FSD to come back on line (it was quite hot in the cockpit at that time) POOOF! In drops a bandit. This could get interesting. And indeed it did.

"Don't try to run!". Sod, this! Boost boost boost! "I have you now!".Hulll breach attack. Module damage, heat damage... oh my... can one take on an enemy with an abrasioin blaster?

Eventually, I escaped the goit but at some cost: when I got to my sell station of choice (some 48kls from the main star, I hasten to add) most modules were down to 83% whilst the ADC was a positve wreck at 36%. Amazingly, it still got me through the mail slot (with a couple of scrapes). I suppose I could have tried manually but the Cutter is quite a large gel.

I'm off for a nice, stiff cup of tea.

.........

I did once join in with security as they took-down a pirate scum ship just after I arrived in the ring - by getting in close enough I could throw abrasion-blaster shots at them whilst my mining lasers made lovely patterns on their hull - I got the bounty voucher even though I probably did less damage than a very very non-damaging thing.

The other thing I do is if I am intrerdicted by a very weak ship is to ram the bejimmy out of them. Saves getting bored but it is a real waste of time often as they tend to eventually run away and I have no weapons on the mining ship to actually tackle them.
 
I've been using my Cutter as both a miner and a hauler. Having an FC means lots of hauling opportunities and needs, so I want to have a dedicated big hauler.

I considered buying another Cutter so I could leave one as a miner and the other as a hauler, but then I thought, "I don't have a T9. I should try out a T9."

I don't think I'd want to fight in it, but it sure does haul a lot of stuffs.
