I would add, high cap + loader, if you are using at least 2 MC. If mixing different size MC, OS for the largest one, high cap the rest to give longer on field time.

I found Lazor + MC builds are the most cost effective for any PVE pewpew situations... Rearm cost + TTK + bounty payout considered.

Struggling practice PA on FDL now.... all fights last at least 4 mins since PA plugged in.... 🤦‍♀️

Just installed thrustmaster T.A.R.G.E.T. software installed trying to setup axis curves, see if it help a bit.

There are a couple of stickied threads on the T.A.R.G.E.T. software that might be of interest one is here

Guide / Tutorial - Get your Basic TARGET Script - PIPs and Curves here.

Hi all, This is a TARGET Script tutorial. Target Script requires Thrustmaster joystick/s or HOTAS hardware. Saying that the theory can be applied to other scripting tools like Joystick Gremlin etc. I've read a few forum threads over the last couple years about how hard TARGET Script is to...

Never really thought about how underappreciated limpets are until I was mopping up materials manually at the end of a CZ. Turns out the cargo hatch is the first thing to fail under extreme heat 😹

(The enemy fielded 2 anacondas from the start and spawned a third later on. I feel like I can be forgiven for SCB spam!)

Still, now about 2/3 the way through competent - the bar is above the 2nd E - so I'm starting to think I may get to return to the bubble within the week. Hopefully there will be one of the /r/FCOC fleet carrier shuttles departing at about the right time 😸

I tweaked my Krait with all sorts of G5 weapons.

Packhounds overheat me and overall missiles dont pack enough BAM to justify the constant ammo problems.

I cant hit crap even with screening double shot fixed frags. Unless it is a conda filling half my screen.

Railguns are fun when they hit. WHEN they hit. I can't stand the fixed time to fire. If it was hold to charge and release to fire I would use 'em.

PAs? Better luck hitting the lotto.

3 Large Gimball beams and 2 medium MCs. This is the way.

Yes all my beams are gimballed, I wait for them to charge me until they get 1-1.5km from me then I let them have it all. Shields stripped and damage done.

The smaller ships tend to fly away to 7km if they survive so they can regenerate their shields. I do it so with the first pass, I take their shields to almost gone then they come around to make another pass and that's how I do the most damage.

Only downside is if they have chaff launchers and the lasers can't lock on. Just takes a little longer to kill them.

That was a lot of conflict zones! 😹 I even got adventurous and did 2 back to back without a break; which was a bit hairy when 2 enemy anacondas showed up in the 2nd and ammo was getting low... But at least I have delivered a targeted beating to one of the dictatorial factions around here. They don't like me much now, and they're pretty big so there might be some stations I can't dock at. But someone's gotta take a stance on it, right? 😼

Thank you to the various commanders of fleet carriers parked in useful places, you've saved me a couple of hours at least, just in travel time to restock and repair. I believe this one was [LOMAC]Temerair in Edge Fraternity Landing. Nice colour choice 😸

And now I have an invite from Petra Omanova. Perfect. Give her a visit, and then work out which recipe to pin at each of the Colonia engineers, then I can start planning my way back to the bubble!

Edit: wait, what?

Congratulations! I'm not sure are there any npc pirates to hunt out there in the black, I would say BH at RES/CNB would be a lot faster.


Finally get the curves setup for my 16000M & rudder pedal via T.A.R.G.E.T., swinging my ship around is much more comfortable with increased precision in fine movement, but PA still sucks....me is to blame obviously 🤷‍♀️ . Getting very frustrated with stock PA, switching to stock rails, due to its fast ammo/hit scan nature, hit rate is not bad actually. But I feel lacks dmg it has vs PAs...

Need more time (which I only have a few hrs/night in weekdays) to practice.

Chaff is when you have fun flying for position and closing in for the quick finish. Oh, did I say it's more fun when your lasers are all engd short range blasters with effects... 😜😀🎯

Congratulations.

Some time ago, maybe when they introduced the starter zones, the Pilots Federation started subsidising insurance costs for newer pilots that message means that you will now pay the full 5% of its costs if you get unlucky.

On a more depressing note if you look at the stats for how many ships you have destroyed, you will need to destroy something over that many ships again to get to the next rank, as an expert you will get fewer points from those ranked above you as you are now closer to there rank.
