Some guy did what I wanted to do.http://imgur.com/a/xOxJM
Died for the first time this morning, bugger. Accidentally caught an asteroid that was in shadow of another, whilst banking - never knew what hit me. 80k rebuy and 200k lost in bounties, pah.
I was dog fighting in the shadow of a planet in a dense asteroid field a few weeks ago, not a great idea but I was basically flying by radar, which was different
Yeah I've done that once. Didn't fancy my long term chances and in my case it was only Sidewinders spawning in. Wasn't worth the risk.
Got my Python yesterday. Managed to not lose too much cargo space over the type 7 228 vs 232 but do actually have shields this time Balanced it so the jump distance was the same under load so I can keep running the trade route I got going on. Can then just add weapons when we group up for fighting then sell them again when its back to solo trade running.
I had 232t in my Clipper and that had some weak shields for docking incidents, which happened a lot in such a wide ship! Twice I got a bit too enthusiastic in rotating to line up with the landing pad after not quite going through the letterbox enough and getting myself a 250k repair bill! Plus a couple of times underestimating the momentum via the thrusters and overshooting the letterbox when undocking...
I think you can get around 280t in the Python by going to a smaller shield generator. I have heard there are issues with the fuel cost on the Python; are you finding that? I think I had planned on skipping the Python and going for the T-9 with the view that I could make the money back quicker to get a Python if it was still useful post 1.1.
Did think about skipping and going for a type 9, pretty much had the money for it for but the jump distance was very down under load so would introduce a lot of extra jumps into the trade route.
I wanted something I could take to combat too, wanted the fed drop ship but was just not getting rank missions fast enough for my patience (made it to Petty Officer).
Yes the expenses in the python are crazy, 1% of hull dmg is like 10k repair (in a type 7 you could get 20% hull dmg before it broke into 5 figures) and the fuel bill is massive. Used to cost me 10,000's to refill from empty on the type 7 but i let it run down on the Python yesterday and it was 111k!!!! Nearly fell off my chair!
Do like the weapon options for Python tho, 3 large beam gimballed lasers and a couple of medium plasma accelerator cannons
What's the opinion on community goals? Apparently station needs building in Yembo.
You do get paid - but you need your wits about you. Huge player activity and PVP there at the moment.
I had that. I exited out and changed the language options to 'English' rather than 'Auto' in the launcher, that seemed to work.
Yeah I had German too! Anyone got tips on finding good trade routes and also not sure whether to rank up with federation, alliance or empire! Does it even matter?
