Oh well; I'll upgrade at some point, and despite my bitching it's not a dealbreaker in the meantime. Thanks all for the advice. Trustworthy fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Oct 31, 2015 |

Ive never been sold on bulkheads on most ships unless it's expressly for pvp. With scbs they way they are if you lose your shields you probably don't want to stick around unless you are in a conda or fed ship. I'm also not sure why you want so much cargo space. If this is for fighting you want more scbs. A 3A scoops is also good enough without the extra fuel tanks I find. Also for class 4 and below I find rank b scbs to be better overall. Not that much of a difference in recharge per use but you get one more charge that more than makes up for the loss per use. Lunch! Finally! fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Oct 31, 2015 |

So... After quite some time away from the game I started playing again. Today after getting a little too cocky bounty hunting in a HazRes with my Clipper I got my rear end roasted. Had to take out the loan for the insurance since I didn't have that much when I started playing again. Went to a HiRes to do some more hunting with the hope of having some space police serve as a distraction so my glaring incompetence doesn't get me killed again. On my first target a security Anaconda flies into my lasers and I get tagged for assaulting, he and his buddies hosed me up royally, I escaped, but my life support is leaking, and of course I only had the lovely five minute one installed. Just as I'm about to make it to the station I get interdicted by some shitlord, and got dragged off course enough that I couldn't make it to the station in time. Cant pay for any of this loan and forced me to take the sidewinder. So am I now stuck in this little shitbox being a space poor again?

Turtle Dad 420 posted:Had to take out the loan for the insurance since I didn't have that much when I started playing again. This is the point where you did A Bad Thing, yes. Not that it matters now, but if you find yourself in that position again your best bet (if you're in a decently-kitted-out combat ship), if you don't have enough money to pay the insurance on it again would have been to: 1. Jump to the nearest High Tech, 50%+ pop space station 2. Downgrade a couple of As to Ds for some liquid capital, and maybe pay off that loan? (I'm not sure how loans work, but 'mortgaging' off a 7A shield gen would get you a cool 50 million in change to work with) 3. Kit out a Cobra or Asp for some solo/private trade/smuggling runs until you're in a comfortable place as far as liquidity goes. As it stands now, though: yes, you're space poor. At least you still have your ranks to get better missions! And if your rank in everything is super low, at least you have a chance to change your CMDR name for basically-free if you want to! e: That said, if you E-classed your Life Support because you couldn't afford the 50k to go from E to D, and not because you forgot to hit it in the outfit screen, you may want to avoid making a habit of making just enough money for a ship, buying it, and then using it out of the box-- if you don't have at least double the cost of the base ship at least you're going to end up in a lovely unflyable E-class space potato regardless of what you're buying.

I goofed around and updated the iClipper build. I didn't realize that stacking shield boosters would still all run at once. http://coriolis.io/outfit/imperial_clipper/06A6A5A5D6A5D4C0v0v1k1k040404044k052b5e5959542o.AwRj4yrI.EwBhEYy6fO+EA=== Goals: 1. Get as close to 720 tons for maximum maneuverability. 2. Maximize survivability through shield and boosters. 3. Shoot stuff. Thoughts?

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:I goofed around and updated the iClipper build. I didn't realize that stacking shield boosters would still all run at once. Drop the hull reinforcement and maybe replace it with a better fuel scoop because 2A is slooooooooooooooooooow. With the iClipper you don't have to worry about armor in general because if you do end up somehow losing all your shields, you can still outrun pretty much anything on boosters alone. I also redid your power settings, it's generally best to switch on SCBs as you need them. I think I remember seeing a gimmick build that put a fixed C3 beam on one of the wing hardpoints and gimballed pulses on everything else, basically abusing the clipper's ludicrous maneuverability to use the beam as a LASER SWORD and the pulses to snipe subsystems but that's probably not what you're looking for  vvvvvAlso yeah if you run dual pulses you can keep an SCB up while deployed, plus the lower energy usage means you can fire them for basically a whole minute before your capacitor dies. 3 fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Oct 31, 2015 |

If you use pulses instead of beams you can have an scb powerd while your hardpoints are deployed.

I've got my FAS up to this point and am thinking about getting into reinforced hull next. I figure anti-thermal is the best choice, but how does the resistance work with regards to weapons that deal both thermal and kinetic? And does explosive get any hidden resistance? e: haha holy poo poo nevermind why is that so expensive? I'd still like to know about the resist mechanics though.

Mirrored is generally better but Military is good enough. You should really get A thrusters first though. The fas is super mobile and has amazing pitch and yaw rates. If it werent for the fact the shields were garbage trash and hull tanking wasn't also bad the fas would be an amazing ship for its mobility.

How come people like the fas? It looks terrible on paper with those shields. Can it armor tank or something?

Armor tanking is bad but it makes a good stealth ship. Like I said if it weren't for the garbage shields it would be a very good ship. It has excellent agility and it's hard points are a bit weird but certainly far better than the clipper.

It moves like a dancer, carries a lot of armour and is relatively fast for its weight. Oh, and although it's not clipper fast... it still rams like one.

If you want to do missions just replace one of the 4A Shield Cells with a Cargo Container. You don't need kinetic weapons with a Clipper. If they're small your lasers will do just fine. If they're big you just need to ram them with all your pips in SYS. Zesty fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Oct 31, 2015 |

So with builds where the batteries are outright disabled, I assume the plan is that you power up a single battery, drain it, and then use the next one? What about builds where you use multiple shield batteries at once? It seems like it would be less mental hassle to hit it once and regen your entire bank of power. loving around a bit more this is the build I came up with. Thanks for everyone's input.

That's almost exactly my build. You can power a 4b and a 3b at once, it owns, although you lose quite a bit of sustainability by sacrificing that size 6 slot. Good enough for PVP tho.

For the record, by and large, for combat ships I'd highly recommend a 2A fuel scoop and base from a nearby station, if at all possible. You can swap it out for a bigger one if you need to make a long trip, but since they're worthless in combat, you want to rely more on refueling at starports and have the scoop as a "just in case" deal.

Bought an iClipper. Fitted it out. Boosted out the door. Clipped a guy. 200 credit fine. Turns out I hit the guy so hard he explodes. 4000 credit fine and the station opens fire. My ship blows up before I even hit boost a second time. Clipper loving owns.

Ok I'm finally less than 1,000 light years away from populated space. I left on this journey in july and got a ton of data to sell. Is there anywhere where I'll get more money for it than usual or do you always get the same amount of money for exploration data everywhere? Definitely getting a different ship and doing something completely different when I'm back. Might try out that asp or vulture. Of course I've been gone for so long that I no longer have any idea what's going on in the game or what any of the numbers mean.

They'd have covered their rear end better if they'd just kept silent or blamed it on the player's hardware, then announced somewhere down the road that it was fixed.

Update: Opened up a ticket last night explaining my idiocy. In the meantime I found a station handing out some good missions, and got myself a diamondback scout and have been really enjoying this little ship. I've Been running more missions with it and doing some minor scavenging and smuggling cargo from Res sites, nearly got it kitted out completely. Woke up this morning to a response from support. The dude was basically like "lol yeah man, that sucks, lemme help you out." So they reimbursed me the cost of the clipper. I've been having so much fun in the scout, I think I may just go buy the clipper real quick and store it while I make a little nest egg so I don't get hosed over again.
