Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[Speedcuffs]

Hmm.
Switched off the belly layzor on the Corvette.
Now kills even faster.
Stoopid belly hardpoint.

Might fit some packhounds on it for the lulz.

Yay, 10 Billion.
70% dangerous.

Fleet Carrier? Maybe.

Think my next ship build is gonna be a large combat just not sure if i want to go cutter or vette...first.

Nice last cpl weeks got me to elite trader, just into dangerous (6%), and up to 5.5 billion. 10's my goal for the FC plunge.

 

[SpaceGoblin]

I was planning to do my flight out to the Jellyfish and Crab Nebula's in my Adder.

But recent 'Tinfoil' developments have given me cause to re-consider, so I've invested in a classic:

Lookin' nice and mythological, scooping salvage from a Degraded Signal Source.

Spent an hour in Alcor, wake scanning the CMDR's coming and going for the CG. Not a ganger in sight, for once

Time to go see Elvira Martuk and get the FSD tweaked.

But before that was a bunch of exploration - images under the spoiler cut:

Spoiler: More Exploration Pics

More Algae!

Of course, I change to a white ship and SRV, and all I find is ice worlds...

Space junk:

I do enjoy big craters:

It really is a big crater:

Not even at the bottom yet:

Yep, real big hole in the ground:

Later, on the pad, Boulle Mines:

Cutter is no good for normal combat!

 

[Nekozji]

Wings of disagreement?

 

[Ashnak]

Wings of disagreement?

Not really. Sure, an armed cargo cutter will make mince of the interdicting NPC T-10 eventually, but for pure combat, the better agility of the 'vette (and the dual huge HPs) will win the day.

Sent query to deep memory. Result = 0

How does it kill quicker with a hard point missing? Is it because you no longer need to worry about aligning it?

What is baking my noodle even further is that, if you fit packhounds, you'll need a third fire button... or, in reality, switch between fire groups mid fight.

I've been out for nearly a week now so please forgive the brain fog and broadband deficiency syndrome.

I have 2 Class 1 MC Turrets and 2 Class 4 Gimbled MC's on the same fire button and both packhounds on the other. The hardpoint on the underside is pretty useless, so I stck a turreted Beam on it.

The highlight of this week's CG, it is not great, but it is the realization that the highest demand for Liquor in the galaxy comes from Racham's Peak. With a price higher than 100,000 Cr yesterday or ten times over the galactic average sale price. What's absolutely cracking is the demand, well in excess of 1,000,000! That must be the wetest bar in history.

a) you do know where Rackham's Peak is?
b) you have seen its parking space?

While pondering, try Anaconda.

I wasn't going to head out there with T9 full anytime soon if that is what you mean.

I did think it would make a challenging player driven initiative for the fcoc types. Perhaps for Saint Patricks day. (Odd that this is now a common association for a religious festival, I suspect that's the power of marketing)

Yes, the burst laser was using up capacitor while actually hitting very little due to shockingly bad fire arc.
Huge beams now get to fire longer. Part of the issue is my 'lazy' fire group setup: left trigger, small gimbal multi & KWS. Right trigger, everything else.

Need to try 2 Huge burst lasers. Or (shudder) an asymmetrical load out.
I suspect the 2 Huge beams are best due to hitscan though.

Ah, turret beam! Sounds good, I'll try that.

Mine is pretty similar with yours except the packhound which I have not yet unlocked it...

 

[Speedcuffs]

Bah. Fitted the turret beam, run out of raw mats.

 

[bangermsuk]

You can make good credits doing those 50m supply bertrandite missions. There is a ground base very near selling bertrandite.

and where is this mystery base? only missions i seen so far are killed ?? people for 28 million

 

[Yingnei Gasua]

Jacques station itself. Sometimes you can even get more than 1 of these. I hauled quite a few T9 loads while I was there last month. They are wing missions. But you can do it alone.

There's probably much more effective missiles, but the Packhounds look great and I can fire off a salvo of seven in one go before I need to drop a Heat Sink.
