three beams across the top, and a pulse shot from the left, rapid fire multi servos.What weapons are those? Beams? That left-hand one looks different...

Agreed. My 16-strong Colonia fleet is already on its way back to the Bubble, courtesy of Codger’s Place. Corvette, Cutter, Clipper, T6, T7, Viper, Fer de Lance, Courier, Python, Cobra MkIII, Eagle, the Carrier swallowed the lot. Enjoying the in-flight movie as we speak.Great to see people helping each other out!
We need the rep back so I can spam it.

Personally I don’t use the docking computer. That means I have the prospector limpets in the class 3 slot and can deploy two at a time, and gives room for a third 5A collector limpet controller, which I find is a lot faster out in the field. I also don’t bother with the fuel scoop when mining so I can haul 512T. But other than that we’re looking the same.Chaps, could you take a look at my mining ship, please? I'd be really interested in opinions!
I'm pretty sure I can't tweak it any further without making compromises and a couple of points:
- 256t is a pretty paltry cargo size for this ship but I'd rarely have time to collect any more than that
- Yes, a lot of A-rated modules when D's would improve range but, so far, she can escape interdictions just about OK
Short linky
Long linky
Many thanks!

If anyone was following my quest for Nyogel 767a a few pages ago, you’ll have seen that I ordered some, and that it turned up in time for some weekend lubing.
I have just finished doing it, thanks to a concise and comprehensive guide on what to do to apply it effectively here.
The only observation I would add to the process notes above is that the stuff is like particularly viscous and sticky honey, so it does not come out of it’s tube easily at all
I have only done the throttle at the moment, as that was relatively easy to take apart safely. The difference it makes is truly, utterly, flabergasting. It is no longer a jerky movement in places, or too loose, or anything in fact other than perfectly smooth, measured, and will stay where you pushed it to. It really does make the throttle seem like a far more expensive item of kit, and I would heartily recommend the Nyogel adventure to anyone.
I am about to go and poke the nose of my Clipper into the vicinity of a couple of black holes, so throttle control will be most welcomed for a smooth ride
Yes, I absolutely also vouch for Nyogel, it worked the same for my Thrustmaster throttle and makes a LOT of difference.
Wait, what? I've never looked into the guardian shield boosters because I imagined them as regular shield boosters, just a little bit better and I didn't think it would be worth the time. They are an actual module? And you can put them into military compartments? Well, I guess that changes my plans for next couple of days. Suddenly they sound like a great thing to have!do the little jaunt out to the Guardian sites and get the Guardian shield boosters. Then you'll at least have something you can put in those restricted military slots. Otherwise, dump a hull and a module reinforcement in there. Just in case.
I'd chuck out the the ADC and stick a 3A FS in it's place, but i've never flown one, and i don't know how it handles, so i'm probably not the best person to ask.Chaps, could you take a look at my mining ship, please? I'd be really interested in opinions!

Me too - never twigged to that either - so off we go zapping sentinels again - hey ho!
(It will make a change from filling up the squadron FC with Tritium and LTDs I suppose. )
My pleasure, Gentlemen. After you've unlocked them, you'll find them (in the stations that carry them) in the "Hull Reinforcements" section.
There is no way in the nine hells (forgive the expression) that six collector limpets will keep up with four mining lasers. Also for sub-surface you will want more collectors. If you want to build for jump range and travelling ”manually” to your sell location with some medium sized cargo (not utilising the 512 cargo potential of the Cutter), then I would suggest an Anaconda instead - perhaps starting from the range build I posted in the subsurface build threads and adding laser mining equipment. No large ship is going to really excel at core mining as they are too ... well ... large ...Chaps, could you take a look at my mining ship, please? I'd be really interested in opinions!
