I fucking hate this. Can a WSS even show up in an unexplored system?
>>
>>127364247
I seriously do not know how it's possible to play this for more than a couple of days or a week max.
I played for about that much in beta, then again several months later, and once more this week, after which the process will probably repeat.
I can understand how dads play it because they literally only play for 2 hours or so a week so they don't have time to realise it has no content, but playing any more than that is a complete mystery to me. And this is coming from someone who grinded out the same procedurally generated warframe missions for almost a year straight.

Actually, during that 2 hr stream, Brabo hinted that Beluga liner will not be able to fit through the funny hole and that it will use some other (TBD) methods of docking.
>>
>>127366275

Are you opposed to paying it off? If not, get into a shitwinder and go where you're wanted.

Dock in a station you're wanted at. Don't get killed yet.

Take off and let the sec outside shoot you down. You'll be able to rebuy the shitwinder including paying the 600k to wipe your record clean.

If you don't want to pay, get someone with a KWS to kill you but make sure the last place you docked is somewhere you're clean. Your bounty will go dormant and will be hidden from players as long as you don't commit any crimes (not even minor fines!) in systems where you were wanted.

After 7 days the dormant bounty becomes a legacy fine and can't be reactivated as a bounty. Just don't dock anywhere you have a legacy fine and then die because it gets added to your rebuy cost when you respawn there.

It's odd how small Elite freighters are. Even the clipper can only carry 700 odd tonnes of cargo. A big, modern cargo ship can carry 20,000 containers. The containers alone weight a 2 or 3 tonnes each.

They should introduce the big Lynx bulk carriers. Get some more use out of that capital ship hyperspace animation.

>>
>>127371376
DBS is one of the ships that has more than enough agility to keep it's guns on target pretty much all the time. It takes a bit of time but it's good practice for when you use weapons that have no gimballed variant (Rails/Plasma).

However if you mix weapon types (projectiles/hitscan) then some gimbals are good to keep everything on target.

Even little things like turning up at a station and finding one of those things parked there unloading would be a nice bit of variety in the scenery.

Having them in distress call beacons would be nice as well. Not sure exactly how their hyperspace works though, that would change how you fit them into the game.
>>
>>127379748
Yeah, capital class freighters are sorely missing from the game. I heard FD want to expand on capital ships a some point, and they probably aren't adding them to the game yet because of that, but who when they'll get around to it. E:D generally need way more variety in stations and other structures in general, really. didn't one of the Dev Diaries mention something about shipyards and stuff?

Even the "small" ships in Elite are fucking enormous. What's odd is that they have so little internal space. A Type-9 should be able to carry several thousand tons of cargo.

One of the AI ships actually gets forced to take off the first time your docking request gets denied. It takes a little while before the pad is ready to accept a docking request from you though.

>>127384716

Yeah they ended up using that asset for the travel engine module for new stations.

They jettison the module and break it down for parts once the engineering section containing the factories and docking bay arrives at the destination.

Frontier really fucked the scaling.
It's like they upscaled everything 2-3x before adding in the cockpit chairs leaving you with weird anomalies like two meters of headroom for no fucking reason.
>>
>>127399740

You should see the T9's cockpit in VR. It's around 30 feet tall with two separate floors behind the pilot seat, not counting the three raised platforms with the stairways and operator seating, and about as much square footage as two-storey house.
>>
>>127398336
Yeah the ships themselves are quite big. I guess I meant small in terms of cargo capacity. Comparing a fictional spaceship to something like a Maersk Triple-E container ship is probably not fair but the disparity in loads is immense.

>>127399740
The only thing I can think is that this is due to the focus on VR for the walking season so we can move around our ships with a minimum of vomit inducing canned animations.

Early game it carries plenty of cargo for trading, has great jump range for rare trading or smuggling and fights well enough compared to a Viper, which it is both faster and more maneuverable than.

It's only slightly less effective at combat than a Viper and dramatically better at absolutely everything else.

And as you'd like to pretend is a bad trait, it can outrun anything it can't deal with.

Basically there is no reason whatsoever to not get one as a progression ship at the very least.

Then you realize that all those low end ships you speak of are totally fucking useless now that it is so easy to make 10 million in a RES site.

So no, you shouldn't be using a Cobra for any significant amount of time. And you will have a Clipper up your ass regardless.

Viper's maneuverability is shit and it can't stack armor/scbs and chaff/hs like a Cobra can. It's objectively worse at combat in spite of that being its focus.

It's not debatable. They even held a cobra dads vs viper griffers event and the griffers got completely fucking ruined despite being PVP tryhards.

DBS is great though.

Have you? The Viper MkIII's pitch/roll/yaw are almost as bad as a Python. The MkIV is actually worse than a Python. Lateral thruster authority is bad on both Viper models too.

Collect rocks, shoot robots, steal data. There's one kind of rover with one kind of weapon and no real upgrades, and the bases you can attack are all pretty much the same but different sizes.

Here's the thread I was looking for.

Pitch Roll and Acceleration for (nearly) Everyship. (UPDATED for 1.5Beta)

>>127418967

Blue range pitch rates look worse for the Viper IIRC. It's significantly faster in the blue zone but the Cobra's pitch speed improves by a larger margin in the blue.

Engine pips also have an effect:

>>127416086

Viper with 4A shield has 126 hull + 179 shields = 305 total damage capacity
Cobra with 4A shield has 216 hull + 124 shields = 340 total damage capacity
Cobra is less impacted by additional mass due to base mass already being high and having a bigger engine
Cobra gains more armor from bulkhead upgrades
Cobra can carry better shield cell banks and hull reinforcements
Cobra turns better and is faster than a Viper even while weighed down
Armored Viper with one class 3 shield cell and stacked hull reinforcements has 545 armor and 754 total shield capacity
Armored Cobra with one class 4 shield cell and stacked hull reinforcements has 1320 armor and 824 total shield capacity while still being faster and more maneuverable than a completely unarmored Viper
And the icing on the cake? The Cobra has power left over for shield boosters if it wants. The Viper doesn't.

There was a lot debate about Viper vs Cobra before the DBS and Vulture came along and rendered the Viper completely obsolete.

This was probably the biggest test of relative combat capabilities: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=186804
Spoiler: Cobra defeats Viper acceleration advantage by flying backward

Literally the only people who defend the Viper are people who can't afford a DBS or better.

would a vulture work with 2 plasma accelerators or 2 railguns?

Yes but say goodbye to your shield booster

>>127422249

I've run two PAs before. I had to shut down life support when HPs are deployed in order to make it work though, so max 25 minutes in combat.

Not really practical for PVE but in PVP it'll surprise most opponents. I've taken out player ferdies with relative ease using that setup. By the time the realize they need to run the module splash from the PAs has killed their drives and half their other systems.

Hi edg.

I just got ED (not Horizons) on PC and I am really enjoying the look of what I can do. I managed to get in to the game but then did my usual panic and wanted to quickly dock again because I could see people waiting for me to kill me.

So imagine I am a chimp trying to play.
If you can please help with some advice on how to dock, where to go and look for stuff, anyone out there willing to take me under their wing and help guide me about and get started?

>hull+shields=total damage capacity
Not really much of a difference, considering more reliable dps of a viper.

>Cobra turns better
While standing still.

>bulkhead upgrades/hull reinforcements
Wich also increase it's mass and drift.

>stacking scb's
>on a cobra with it's shit shield
>after scb nerf
It will get alpha strike'd anyway, so you won't have anything to recharge.

>shield cell
>increases shield capacity
?

>while still being faster and more maneuverable than a completely unarmored Viper
That's straight up bullshit. You'll need to keep 4 pips in engine all the time, otherwise viper is faster and has better accel/decell and lat thrusters.

>tfw viper is still faster without hammering boost
>tfw smaller shape, more effective chaff
>tfw better hardpoint placement, higher constant dps
>tfw better acceleration, less drift
>>
>>127422868
>Not really much of a difference, considering more reliable dps of a viper.

Then you run into a surprisebra with 2med rails and a pair of torpedo pylons thinking "who uses missiles?"

>While standing still.

Also in motion. Cobra has better turn rate at 0 pips and 4 pips, in or out of the blue zone

>Wich also increase it's mass and drift.

Negligible impact to its flight model given its base mass and C4 engine. Even completely loaded down with HRPs and military armor its mass is far below the optimal mark for the engines

>It will get alpha strike'd anyway, so you won't have anything to recharge
>2sml/2med
>alpha

lol right... If you're that worried about alpha from 2/2HPs then use another HRP or biweave, but that just makes the Cobra pull even further ahead

>better accel/decell and lat thrusters

Doesn't help in practice, and it has been practiced a lot. See >>127421950

This shit has been tested to death in-game since gamma. Viper loses between pilots of similar skill

See: Viper vs Cobra discussion
Who the fuck cares? People that matter fly FDL or Python anyway. People that can fly can outturn Vultures with a Conda. Who the fuck cares about ships that cost 300k? You use them for a few hours until you get a good ship, like Vulture.

not that guy, but:
1.Playing as pure trader in type 6 will crush your soul and mind.
2.Viper and DBS are only for combat, so you are basicly locked to pew-pew all the time.

Cobra is a low tier jack of all trades. the Dadmobile maymay wont change it.

Of course, You you lurk the forums and generals and You are "in the know" of how to make money fast, it gets obsolete pretty quick. But for me, a dude that dived into that game with no hand-holding and with a wishfull thinking that he can actually be fuckin Han Solo and tried to make a living soley on pre-sothis smuggling and piracy (yes I was stubborn) it was a fun ship.

You aim your mouse somewhere, accelerate and you fly at it. Then you just have thrusters to pretty much instantly move up/down/left/right.

If it's illegal where you're taking them, if you're scanned, yes you'll get a bounty, and probably a fairly hefty one too, since it's 87 of the fuckers. But yes, you can get scanned then turn in the mission and pay off the bounty, so long as the mission doesn't specify that getting scanned will fail the mission.

Alternatively you could skirt around the edge of wherever you're going till you line up with the entrance then scoot along in silent running mode. Grab yourself a heatsink, too. Careful not to fuck up and crash cause you could asplode without shields.

>drop in within 400km of a signal source

I just started and I'm really confused as to what I'm supposed to be doing right now. I've been flying around in super cruise scanning shit and trying to check out signal sources and stuff.

I've found a bunch of wanted dudes, but I can't interdict because I don't have the thing to do it.

Why do signal sources never turn out to be anything? And what should I be doing? Should I go pick up a mission from a statio or what? Somebody told me to hunt bounties from smaller ships around signal sources, but nothing is ever there.
>>
if you are looking for mobility and versatility in hardpoints, what ship should I look for? the faster the better

so far I'm looking at a FAS for future testing, currently flying a DBS in HiRES with a fixed 4x pulse setting for fun, don't care about vulture because I'd like to have more than 2 hardpoints so I can switch stuff around when I'm bored

what are the experiences with the FAS?
>>
>>127443083
you have to target it and drop out of hyperspace.
>>
>>127442497
It works against human players. If you're interdicted by a human, what you should do is silent running, fa off boost, turning back and boost again. That will make them lose you. Heat sinks are targetable and will show your position. Terrible if you're not within the visual limits
>>
>>127443270
That is literally exactly what I've been doing.

>drop within 400km

The only time I find anything or anyone is on a distress call. Last time, it looked like some dude blew himself up and left a bunch of cargo laying around.
>>
>>127443168
Tried it once. It was pretty durable, not very agile at all, and had enough firepower to lay most ships out.

If you're looking for something good, but don't want to cheese with a Vulture, you could do worse than the FAS.

>>127443382

The FAS can utilize 5 weapons, 2 med points, 2 large points, and the ship itself. Its shields are absolute dog shit, but the hull itself was forged in the heart of a dying star. Decent hard point placement, and with proper equipment and handling can make for mad dashes, but its not a dog fighter. Using the FAS to the max requires getting used to toggling flight assist on and off for more tight maneuvers. Once you get used to that it can easily punch well above its weight class while taking relatively little damage.

Also, the thing is a guided projectile. Ram every goddamned thing with it. Wear the scraps of Anacondas like you are Buffalo Bill.

Fucking plebs here.

It's FUCKING easy to avoid scans at stations. Just align with the planet at your back, station in front of you during SC. Drop out right in front of the station mail slot.
Just boost in the mail slot with your Asp. No scan. FUCKING EASY!

Getting interdicted?
Submit and boost your way out of there and spool up FSD.
Authority interdicting you? Submit and do the same. You'll be out of range of there scanners.

You'll need: An Asp with A-rated thrusters/ power plant/power coupling.

Commanders, I hope you did your part and contributed to search of passenger vessel Antares that disappeared in 3251 as no humane person could just stand by while there are mission civilians out there.
Just think about it, commander, what horrors must passengers on board of that liner enure, they've been mission for 51 years now. I'm afraid if there are any survivors they had to commit acts of cannebalism to survive and so did their children, who were also born onboard of that God forgotten ship, drink their own unprocessed urin and endure horrid mutations due to lack of oxygen.

Wanna do powerplay shit? Its basically just a flavored theme of the above three, but yeah whatever. Can unlock some other specific areas to shoot other shit at I guess.

Wanna explore shit? Get in literally anything with a jump range past 20 and an advanced scanner and just go fucking anywhere it doesn't even matter. Expect to show back up in civilized space a week later and only make maybe 2m credits for all the 4 3 2 1 you've had to listen to.

What's stopping you from just abandoning the missions at Robigo and selling the slaves back to them. There's no fine as far as I'm aware, and I just did it since I got scanned.

My dream game would be Elite's local flight and combat insider X's world, X absolutely demonstrates the depth elite lacks

Tragically it won't be fixed because of the mmo element and of frontier's determination to never let the player have real influence lest the game gets elite style megagroups shitting on everyone else

Pretty similar to what I'm using and it's working out ok for me. I don't know if you need that many fuel tanks though.

You could probably knock off the last 3 internal compartments at least but that's just my opinion.

>>
>>127466307
honestly the DBS is the best in its category

you can get better shields than the Viper with boosters, which you can actually mount because you have more U points, the same amount of dakka, better agility in a package that gets 420 armor with military armor

and you get 20+LY jump range even with full cargo hold

well worth the 500k over the Viper

I've made 2+million with it by bounty hunting in HiRES just today and at oen point even just held my own in a frontal engagement against a Clipper

I know the DBE turns less but dat large hardpoint tho

Wouldn't mind if they came with all the features ready in addition to the promise of future support like actual mmo/always online game (i.e. diablo 3) expansions

Instead it just feels like you're paying for content patches to be continued with no real guarantee of what you're going to get.

Hilariously this is backfiring for them, at least in my case, I'm not getting Horizons at full price because I have no fucking idea what the expansion will actually contain when it's finished and the next one is released

>>127467623
Pirates are an irritation, but generally a hell of a lot more preferable to security. System authority are an absolute ass. It's all scripted though so you can generally just guage it by what you see it the messages window. When I see red sys auth messages I ensure that I don't let them get behind me and try to jump out of that system as soon as possible. The safest thing to do is try to avoid interdiction at all costs, and if you ever see interdiction detected, kill the process. The second safest is to always submit to interdiction, then boost away and jump out, but doing that without sheilds can be a bit of a risk when it comes to pirates. Also sys auth like to drop in whilst pirates are attacking, which can cause them to literally spawn right in front of you and be completely unavoidable. A lot of it is up to preference, you might decide it's worth having a cheap sheild module for insurance against pirates, or you might be comfortable without one.

Where does Robigo get all these slaves anyway. You'd think, being an isolated mining facility in deep space, that they'd need slaves transported to them, not the other way around, let alone such vast quantities of them. Is it some kind of breeding platform? And what's more, who is willing to pay 2-5 million credits for for simply trasporting a dozen or half dozen slaves? Considering that delivery would only be a small percentage of the actual sale price, that would mean each individual slave is worth as much as 10,000,000 Credits. Who is paying that much for slaves and what exactly is special about these slaves that they would be worth so much money?
I personally can only think of one kind of slave that anyone would pay so much for, and also one that would require such effort to conceal from the authorities.

DBS is the penultimate early-game fighter. Only slightly less maneuverable than the Eagle, and big power plant to feed guns, modules and utilities with fantastic heat management. Decked out in armor and hull reinforcements it can still boost to 410 and jump 20LY.

>>127519284
You and I have basically the same loadout except I have A rated powerplant just for better heat management and the mass is negligible, and then swap a shield booster for another heat sink. Helps with quicker fuel scooping since they made it possible to dump heat in SC.
>>
>>127520239
You'd want a Rating E Kill Warrant Scanner, and IIRC those don't cost much at all.
The rA only gives 2km more range and a fuckhuge powerdrain compared to the rE, not to mention it being more expensive.

Just head to your nearest Resource Extraction Site(Low/Normal/High), get a few shots in on a Wanted target that the cops are already killing and you should be good.
>>
>>127520239
The bounty scanner isn't a must early, it only reveals bounties in other systems. Just go in a low level RES and help out the cops, you'll be fine.

Make sure you ALWAYS wait for the scan (standard bounty scan, built in and automatic) to finish before you hit the target, cops will fuck you up for that fat 300CR payout otherwise.

I'll explain what I did to get to that point if it helps at all.

I did RES farming until I could afford a good Type-6. I did rare trading in the Type-6 for a long time. Bought a Vulture for even more RES farming for whenever I got bored of rare trading. I switched back and forth between Type-6 rare trading and Vulture RES farming for awhile until I could afford more expensive ships.
I'm not sure which ship you are in currently, but I love the Type-6 and Vulture.

You can get started with just a Cobra MkIII. Smug fit costs around 5mil, can stack 6-8 shadow deliveries and for the inexperienced it's better than the Asp at hauling ass into a station or away from pursuers if you get interdicted out of supercruise.

Couple good runs with that and you'll both have the dosh for a proper Asp and know what the fuck you're doing.

So the funniest shit.

Have a cargo scanner or KWS and sit next to an outpost, any outpost. Wait for an NPC to start to dock. When he gets kind close to landing, start scanning and they flip the fuck out and fall over and slap into the walls and shit to try and get away.

Then he has to float away and line up to dock again, then you start scanning again and he flips that fuck out. I got one to explode eventually after like 30 minutes of making him scrape against the outpost.

AIs actively try to avoid scans, even if they have no reason to. The only time they don't is when they're in the middle of running a scan themselves.

It was even worse in 1.4. I'd KWS miner AIs in RES and they would immediately boost into the roid they were facing.

I'm *fairly* sure it does delay it in the same way for NPCs too. I guess I need to make a recording.
>>
>>127525087

DBS is more maneuverable and has better weapon placement while the iCurry has the best acceleration in the game and ridiculous shields for a ship that size.

Basically DBS if you want to use fixed weapons and enjoy jump range. Courier if you like being tanky.

Price difference between the two is largely irrelevant for BHing since the courier's smaller modules are cheaper to outfit and both ships even out to around 6-7mil combat fit.
>>
>>127526345
Yeah, since FDev never explains shit about their game (and according to that quote don't know themselves what the game is doing) it's up to the community to check.
>>
>>127525779
>>127526345

It has been tested extensively and the devs chimed in on a livestream at one point. If you get the impression an NPC scan stalled, it's either placebo or because you managed to physically get out of range or out of their frontal arc.

Chaff does not affect NPC scans, and it isn't supposed to affect player scans either but there's been a long-standing bug they can't be arsed to fix relating to how the client handles target lock during chaff.

Basically your scanner has an invisible gimballed reticle associated with it that determines whether or not you can run the scan, and chaff sends it dancing just like your guns.

NPC targeting is simplified and handled differently from players so they're unaffected by the bug.
>>
>>127527454
Silent running on the other hand can delay a scan if it reduces your targetable range to less than the range the scanning ship is hovering at, since that breaks the lock completely.

NPCs scan at 1KM, so basically just the diamondbacks can do this reliably after scan has started and only for a couple seconds because the NPC will immediately close distance to reacquire lock and resume scanning.

And unlike players, hard loss of target lock doesn't reset their scan progress as long as you're still the focus of their attention. This bit is also a bug that exists because ftroop never thinks anything through all the way.

>>127527454

Boosting your ass off after submitting to interdiction or trying to mini-game the interdiction?

Boosting your ass into a station or silent running into the station?
>>
>>127527697
>>127527454
Info is much appreciated anon. When scanning and sensors are such a clusterfuck of bugs it's no wonder people are getting shitted off about it.

The worst thing is the cunts on the forums
"You're just sad that you can't make easy profits off smuggling now"
"No we're angry cause the rules are fucking buggy and inconsistent you idiot"
>>
>>127527930
>>127528079

Ideally you pilot like a boss in SC and don't let yourself get interdicted in the first place. Otherwise win the minigame, but be aware that losing the minigame is way worse than submitting and trying to run.

If you don't want to get scanned entering a station, go silent and freeze yourself with heat sinks BEFORE the cops notice you're there. Once you get their attention they'll come to check you out whether you go silent or not; they know roughly where you are. If you're outside lock range but still hot enough to show up as an unresolved contact, they'll just fly closer until they can lock. They're also attracted to ejected sinks because they know that means someone's being sneaky little shit, which may bring them close enough to just straight up see you through their window.

In the end, speed trumps everything. If you can put more than 1.2KM between you in less than 10sec, they don't get to finish scan. Get into the slot and break line of sight, no scan.
>>
>>127527930
>>127528079
>>127528748

tl;dr: Only two surefire ways to avoid scan:
Task kill or be able to outrun a Viper MkIII in less than 10 seconds.
>>
>>127528748
>they don't get to finish scan
What I'm noticing is that:
-scan starts
-enter slot and land (even going into the hanger, doesn't matter)

-exit slot
-latent scan is still going and there's no notification

This is a known thing right?

bro...
>>
>>127529093

Yes. Unless something else grabs the attention of the cop that's trying to scan you (like a fight), he'll try to get within 1KM of you as soon as he can and you won't get notified a second time. You can see exactly who it is too because he'll have his hardpoints deployed in order to operate the scanner. Local station cops lose interest quickly but the cops that are spawned to chase you are a lot more persistent in getting that scan off.

Once again this is a situation where you can just plain outrun the cop if you're fast enough. Otherwise you have to relog or wait for a distraction.

Also remember that you have to break line of sight getting into a station if you're being scanned. If you're just inside the slot and the cop is lined up just right to still see you, he can keep scanning. They'll never actually position themselves in the slot to scan into the bay on purpose though. They're programmed to avoid obstructing the slot.
>>
Is there a compromised navbeacon near lembava?

>>127529446

The pursuit cops are complete bullshit. They drop into your wake right on top of you and they're always aware of you. Doesn't matter if you freeze to 0 heat and go SR. They'll come right for you. Only options are to log out or run.

Or if you're in an anarchy system, you just need to shoot them and they stop trying to scan and go all combat mode.

Do not fire inside the NFZ of an anarchy station though. They issue fines with lasers.

About a quarter of it. Most of it was good to god trading. Some of it from Sothis when it was a thing. I actually went back to regular trading on a Cutter, but Robigo is just more fun.

Maymay aside, both Cobras are solid ships. I got a solid flight time in MK III some time ago (before powerplay update). If the MK IV would be avaliable at that time, I probably would have bought it before <ASP.

Quick question:

is Robigo profitable for a guy with A-fitted Python who is bored with RES farming and who sold his soul for a while with T-9 Slave Trading?

Would I get a decent dosh out of it or should I stick to belts?
>>
A Redditdad just told me to call fuel rats to NGC 7822 and when they arrive, flip off and fly away.
>>
>>127537789

More like grand-dad, but I don't complain. Too busy grinding for that A-rated Cutter I intend to grief the exploration party that's going out on the 14th.
>>
>>127537385
And by original Elite games you mean one of the many, many versions of the first game since it was established back in pre-alpha there's an absolute hate for the sequels.
>>
>>127538430

Can you make 50 million in 3 hours? Cuz Robigo did just that for me. Get ready for a billion interdictions though, and I would recommend getting an >ASP for more easily eluding those pesky narcs.
>>
>>127538720
U wot m8?

Even Sothis Gold Rush wasn't that insane.
>>
>>127538715

> absolute hate for the sequels.

What? For real? They were epic for their time. I mean, Frontier had no story but the sandbox was without compare. And First Encounters had a story if you cared to read through the magazines, which was pretty kick ass.
>>
>>127538649
>fighting
>with a cutter
m8, ok that most of them will not carry any weapon (and will depart in private group) but fuck even my explorconda can fuck that imperial cow
>>
>>127538794

Sothis didn't have as many interdicts so I consider it was easier. But yeah. 50 mill in 3 hours, clocked. IDK if trading with a Cutter is faster than that. Possibly, but it is so boooring.
>>
>>127534683
Have you ever done exploring before. That event sounds dump to me. Maybe if Elite had more depth in ship mechanics like, docking in to bigger ships, walking around in our own ship etc but all you gonna do really is jump like 15 Ly max and wait for everyone else to do so which is going to take a long time and even more time to get anywhere
>>
>>127538430
I've been doing Robigo with my Python this week, it's good because of the extra cargo space therefore increasing your mad profitz, buuut the reduced jump distance is a cunt, especially now that the fuzz follow you each jump, so reducing the amount jumps required reduces the shitty interdictions and potential combat logging.
>>
>>127538946

Well considering they'll carry no weapons and that the Cutter can jump lock and outrun the Anacondas, I thought it was a good plan.

Probably wrong. Too stupid not to drop the game months ago, so probably too stupid to pull something lulzy off too.

sup nerds, first day really getting into the game, and I just made around 400k hunting dudes in lowRES

looking to buy a Diamondback Scout, what's the consensus? the other option I was looking at was a Viper MKIV, but the stats on the Scout seem better (minus cargo space) and most of all, it doesn't look like a flying quesadilla

If I do buy it, what kind of weapons should I put on it? I don't really understand what the different weapons are good at, gimbal vs fixed, or whatever the "meta" is now

I'm not too concerned with getting >muh perfect minmax, but I don't want to gimp myself

Also, when is a safe time to move from lowRES to RES, HiRES, or HazRES? low doesn't seem to be giving me any trouble, I literally didn't take a single hit the entire time in my sidewinder
>>
>>127539036
well then, since i applied as armed escort for the non carebears that will use open i hope i will find you, some nice action before sinking in the exploration autism. is always good and my ship is just a lighter pirate anaconda, so the rebuy is low and i dont mind getting wrecked few times.
>>
>>127539016
>>127538967

I hear you guys, thanks for tips. Is a python option actually more profitable? Have you compared it to ASP in terms of those jump ranges / stations scans etc?

>>127539302

Asp can give me like 26Ly with an 82ton load (class 5A fuel vacuum FTW), while Python gave me like 17Ly with a 260something load back in the day. So that's like double the jumps. Double the interdicts. Actually triple interdicts since you'll be stacking more missions.

And you'd have to combat log to avoid scans for sure, with Asp I've been able to avoid those (except when the game is a dick, intercepts me with a pirate then dumps the space cop for me to crash into.)

I wouldn't do it if I were you, but that's just me.
>>
>>127539349

Ohhh, I've no idea. When I started Sothis I was Entrepreneur I think. Since then I've become Elite so that's no longer an issue, sorry.

actually you can fly whatever you want without waiting anyone, there are only some fixed waypoints and a suggested route, i just look forward to land and be autistic with other people with the moon buggies and save stranded dads.

but yeah exploration needs some more stuff, even if horizons made it slightly more intresting
>>
I've just noticed that Sothis is very close to Robigo. To save me some time can someone tell me if Sothis is better than Robigo?
>>
>>127539106
If You only want to farm belts, take Scout, it is one of the best low tier combat ships in the game atm. Viper MK IV is trash, dont bother. If You want multipurpose, take one of Cobras.

As for weapons, C1/C2 laser weapons underperforms compared to their kinetic counterparts, but since You will be fighting NPC, take Beams or Bursts for ammo conservation. Dont touch torpedos and rockets besides some exceptions in PvP. Forget about mines.

I honestly should pick the Cobra since I think I'm going to try out all the different ways to play, but I hate the look of them. The Diamondbacks, Dropship and Type 6/7 are the only ships that look cool to me. Viper and Eagle are alright I suppose, but every one of the of the larger, non-trading ships look terrible.

Why does this game has such shitty ship design? It actually makes me appreciate Scam Citizens designs.

There's no accounting for taste, anon. IMO, ED have better looking ships than the amorphous monstrosities of SC, for one.

Although the damage modeling on SC is so nice! ED promised me something like that and did not delivar :(.
>>
>>127540289
I genuinely like ED ship designs with few exceptions such as Clipper, Orca and Dropship.

Oh well, de gustibus non est disputandum.

Scam Citizen ships are hit or miss, some are amaizing, some are attrocious.

SC designs are far better than the flat, samey looking metal slabs that ED offers. SC ships looking interesting, give you an immediate feeling of scale when you look at them.

You look at a Cobra or Python from a distance and you can't tell what goes where, they just look incredibly boring semi-circles with a tiny cockpit melded into the front.

Don't get me wrong, I don't care for SC at all and think it's a fucking huge scam, but they have great ship designs. Not all of them are good, some are too busy looking, but the good ones are fucking cool. I wish I could get a Freelancer in ED, but they'd never design a ship that doesn't have a completely flat bottom and undetectable cockpit.

Panther is great unless you needed to get somewhere in under week. It's big fat arse took so long to make a jump.

Ever since I started grinding Robigo two months ago, starting pre-1.5, and now post-1,5, I've yet to discover something equally profitable.

I've seen pledged bounty hunters farming mad millions, but that requires faction ranking and combating ranking, which I lack.

Now I know /edg/ finds regular space trucking absolutely soul-crushing. And it well may be. However, each time I check the market of some stations, i notice that some stuff is only a couple thousand credits in difference.
Even with a cargo hold of 450t, that would mean that that 450t is multiplied only 2-4 times. A trade run that takes perhaps 20 minutes would net only 2mil. Yet trading is generally considered one of the most profitable if not boring things to do. What gives? How can one make mad dosh with trading? I fail to understand how one could say it is better than a Robigo run that nets me 40mil in 1,5 hour.
>>
>>127541147

Oh yeah, there was that with low thruster power.

But putting... what was it? The huge beam thing on the nose and just sitting and frying pirates was fun. Or just let them ram into your 100s of shield generators.

IDK how they'll adapt it to ED (if they do it at all). I'll be sad if they don't give it a good weapon loadout.

Max large round trip for large ships is paying about 3k, and with a Cutter you can carry like 790 tons, not just 450. Still, Robigo is better. Robigo is life.

In the world of E:D the simplicity and minimalism which is shown best In Cobra MK IV and Python has its charm. Granted, that only fits for military vessels, but this is a world where you dock in a giant space cube with a letter box. So im okay with flying with triangles. SC ships looks to much like "jets in space" for me, but this is my personal preference. Sadly, my dream VISION will be never implemented, sice I have a raging boner for retro-futurism design (see Alien and Blade Runner) the more steam, pipers, bulky metal blocks and analog controls/kinescopic screens, the better.
>>
>>127541324
>Oh yeah, there was that with low thruster power.
Not just that the time in hyperspace is 1 week for a full range jump. Half max range = half a week. A Clipper only had a jump range of around 8 ly. Ships like the tiny Falcon and Osprey had 70 to 80 ly range.

Sometimes it was needed for military missions cause you couldn't get there in time with the bigger ships.

The plasma accelerators were pretty awesome.

I don't like the jet's either, but any medium-to-large sized ship looks great. Every large ship in ED is ugly and flat except maybe Lakon ships. And don't pretend that ED doesn't do the jet shit too, the Courier, Clipper and Eagle all have the same boring wing design. The Eagle is the only one that looks alright since it's supposed to be a tiny fighter.

every other ship is just a variation of pic related

It's the blocky, BSG/Star Wars ship design that I like in SC, not the jets. The Redeemer, Herald, Starfarer, Freelancer, Caterpillar, all of the Hull's, and all the Capital Ships give me a hard-on. You can actually see where the begin and end, and which way they're facing from a distant. They're have noticeable silhouettes. The Aurora and Cutlass are fucking awful, though.

I get that ED has an artstyle, but we are talking about the mass that is space, not to mention tons of factions and ship manufacturers. There could be far more variation.

That triggered me.
Courier has extremely low aspect ratio and almost straight. Clipper has medium aspect ratio and normal swept. Eagle however, forward swept, has low aspect ratio. Have you ever seen those wings?
git gud at aerodynamics, nigga. I'm not saying they look good or bad although Eagle is fucking hot but they have very different wing designs.
