Yes, I understand...my point is that I have a suit with NV but rarely ever use it...sometimes I forget its there, but mostly I just go in the dark...and turn off the lights in the room...that has worked well enough for me so far...Night vision on a maverick is what I'd want

Upgrade the Executioner a bit and it only takes one shot - from up to 100m (or even 150m with range+), anywhere...^
*in fact some peeps have actually been complaining that a single plasma shot to the shoulder, elbow or foot shouldn't be lethal ;p

Cool...though one shotting-unshielded enemies at range is a hoot...
Well then, I guess they shouldn't have upgraded it...another good reason not just go out and engineer everything immediately...I'd rather just play the game...and then incrementally upgrade only what I think I need in order to get to the next level of what I cannot yet achieve...its more fun for ME this way...YMMV*...
* not necessarily you, per se...
Colonia is an option. 10*Faction Associates, 10*Digital Designs, 10*Cocktail Recipes = Night Vision unlocked. All those are coming from Hab Data ports (and partially from missions, if you want to do missions). But no kills required at all. You can pick delivery missions. You can visit tourist settlements and check their free public Data Port in the main building (and cut into another Hab, no shooting, cut, dl data, run away while they shoot at you - i was a bit concerned with assaulting tourists, so i went that way). Night Vision itself will require a list of other data, mb harder to get it without kills... But again, scavs, support missions - it may be hard but it's possible, i'm sure. Colonia Ody engi backs up all Bubble Ody engi, just as with ships. Things are easier there, and at some point you may go there anyway, so...
My favorite feature of Colonia is that jail is only one jump away...
That's quite some arsenal you have there Tyres.Here goes then, everything I have:
Artemis suits *:
Mavericks:
Doms - one for CZ's in the dark, one in the light, and one for assassinations:
10 rifle type guns for various situations:
3 pistolia:
* Image of suit itself went AWOL - not sure why
This is what happens when one has too much time on one's hands
I've taken a break from figuring out the carrier this and that's for now and am doing a high on-foot CZ myself that I came across at the moment, albeit with nothing like all that stuff you have there so far.
If upgrading were remotely possible, it would already be done.

Indeed - and i also avoid grind (as far as possible...) as it basically defeats the purpose of RP & game enjoyment - but yep, i built up suits & weapons incrementally over quite a time, having quite a bit of good FPS fun along the way... and despite all that's been said about settlements before by supposed (oft self-proclaimed^) FPS-experts, I really like OD and its various settlement / stealth mechanics - so i keep going back for a bit of fun, even - unashamed game-geek here

Colonia is a month out of each year place to stay. Feb/March is the next time. I plan to travel out from Colonia to the western edge on the galaxy while I'm there. Slowly heading for the southerly point right now.
I'll consider some in foot stuff while in Colonia. I built a Cobra MKIII for on foot activity last time I was there. My only Cobra MKIII.
I've never been to the hallowed colony tbh (still waiting for a multi-jump plotter for my FC that will get me there overnight & in time for breakfast^) but that does sound good - having once fluffed a settlement job to the point of death & notoriety (I think it was California Nebula somewhere) ...and then ended up 2000+LY away (somewhere beyond Maia IIRC) without my ship
Not Expecting Anything Really (TM)
…but i think it still would be a great idea, in terms of opening out the galaxy & enabling players to get around a bit more, long distance… the real hurdle might be getting over the complaints of those who got there the hard way - then again, we’ve all been through grindy days which became easier later on for newer players - a good thing imo, if it makes the game just a bit more realistically playable for more people?
With more than 99% of the galaxy still unexplored, surely easier long-range travel won’t chew it all up anytime soon?
Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will… :]
Yikes, good job I came across this:
"Pilots who lost their ship will redeploy at the last Station, Surface Port, or Fleet Carrier that they docked at; if the last station they docked at had no shipyard function, they will redeploy at the closest station with a shipyard to the location where they had lost their ship. Criminal pilots will redeploy at the nearest Detention Centre in the jurisdiction where they were apprehended."
elite-dangerous.fandom.com
I haven't enabled the shipyard on my carrier as I don't want one, but I might enable it temporarily when I go out into the black after reading that.
Worst case scenario: Carrier is at Beagle Point but loses ship due whatever mishap. Commander then gets redeployed to the nearest station with a shipyard but own carrier doesn't have one. So commander ends up back at Bubble (or I guess Colonia) while carrier and all the rest of the fleet is several hundred thousand LY away...
Unless other fleet carriers that DO have shipyards count, if so guess you'd better hope there's another carrier around not far away.

I have respawned on other player's carriers that I have never been docked at before. BUT, they were nearby in the bubble, only a system or two away from where I was when I "lost my ship"...Yikes, good job I came across this:

It's possible to set Voice Attack up with the means to cut and paste from Spansh into the Galaxy Map for normal ship jumps in a huge chain on the neutron highway, so would it be possible to do the same for FCs?
I've never used VA...I haven't enabled the shipyard on my carrier as I don't want one, but I might enable it temporarily when I go out into the black after reading that.

This is part of the joy of having a mobile home - you don’t need the optional shipyard (it’s for other players - or so your squad/friends can bring a bit more of their fleet along too), without it your ship will still respawn on the FC.
You don't need the shipyard on your carrier. That's for others, not you.I haven't enabled the shipyard on my carrier as I don't want one, but I might enable it temporarily when I go out into the black after reading that.Redeployment

This is so true.
- Power regulators: not often given as mission rewards and I've never seen more than one on offer. So I've needed to purposely fail power-ons to get the ones I need. Factions all over the bubble hate me now
- Manufacturing instructions: needed in vast quantities. For almost everything. These can be a drag to amass although you can get 5 on some mission rewards. One idea I saw posted somewhere was that MI's could be given as CZ rewards, This, to me, makes good sense.
There's an old adage: you'll find lots of the mats you don't need - the ones you do need will always be very elusive. The game is sentient and knows what you are thinking.
