There's plenty one stop over in Fong Wang system. That was my practice grounds for quite a while.

Great, will check those out.
Had my first kill in the Vulture! Yeh! TBF, they didn't really fire back though.
Back to Jameson to try out a few different weapon configs. Not sure about the beam laser.
This is my current Vulture, named "Bunzilla." It's quite fun to fly. The MCs are an experiment. I haven't decided if I like them yet.

I seem to use gimballed beams and turreted MC's all the time... but I may swap to gimballed MC's at some point.
Oo! I like the shields and hull on that mofo!This is my current Vulture, named "Bunzilla." It's quite fun to fly. The MCs are an experiment. I haven't decided if I like them yet.

How do you put your ship build on that Coriolis site?
Does using gimbled or turreted affect how you level up in combat?
Still haven't worked how to do that.
An interesting question, to which i don't know the answer. From what i gather from the posts of more experienced combat flyers, it is best to start with gimbals and take them as far as they will go/ you feel they can take you, then switch up to turreted when you have perhaps had a chance to build up your flying skills.
Bear in mind that some of the more advanced combat players will also be flying Flight Assist OFF, and will therefore have an advantage that only experience brings..
In reality that is only of concern against player commanders. But like everything else in the game, it is very much down to the individual. i guess.that's what they mean by 'blaze your own trail'.
I have EDMC (ED Market Connector) running, and I can just click it to import my current build.
No, it's just based on how many kills of what rank. The Wiki has the numbers. Here's a quote:
" It takes approximately 2,225 experience points to go from Deadly to Elite Combat ranking. This equals 1,780 Elite kills, or approximately 2,400 kills based on a more average distribution of ships."
So, double that if you're starting from Harmless
Combat
Combat is an archetypal pilot career recognized by the Pilots Federation. Combat encompasses multiple sub-roles, such as Assassin, Bounty Hunter, Mercenary, and Pirate. Increasing Combat rank requires destroying other ships, and defeating pilots with higher Combat ranks rewards a greater amount...

In the Galaxy Map, in map mode, the fourth tab is the filters use the drop box to choose the filter type one of them is Visited Stars that has 3 check boxes
- Visited
- Non Visited
If you want to only go to new places select Non Visited only
If you want all stars select both
- Plot Route Using Selection (always select this one)
As with all the filters the route planner will ignore them if there is a way to complete the route in a nearly straight line using the wrong sort of star. Changing map mode to realistic or Powers disables filters. Changing the mass of your ship after plotting the route can break the route
A break from combat is required. Back into the near black for some exploration whatsits for me for a bit.
One of these days, I'll find something totally unique. I also want to see more alian stuff: according to the Wiki, there're tons of ET's out there. I just get the feeling most of it is weeks of carrier jumps away

Hmmmm... I think that you mean move from gimballed to fixed weapons as your skill improves. Turreted weapons have lower DPS, are defeated by chaff (like gimballed) and are more expensive and power hungry - they have their place but not as a weapon to graduate "up" to as your piloting skill improves.
Hi bud.
It was on Galnet runs to Jan 7th, It isn't much cop to be honest though.
You get through the bottom 3 tiers quicker but G4 and G5 are pretty much the same and these are the materials that are problematic to gather.

Thanks CMDR Pug!
On a different note... 8 - eight! - LTD hopspts. 4 VO's. 3 tritium. And some other bits. Looks like an infectious disease.
