If you aren't fitting shield cell banks then toss your shield into that size 5 slot and upgrade your scanner to advanced.

Going that route with the shield generator, what's the difference between biweave, prismatic, and standard shields? The different types are new to me

Each type is a tradeoff between passive regeneration and total energy, with bi-weaves being the weakest with the fastest regen and prismatics the opposite. On that note, use this version of coriolis which is more stat heavy, up to date and supports engineering mods. It is operating under beta statistics however, some figures are bound to be slightly off from live. Chrysophylax fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Jan 3, 2017 |

Emnity posted:So how does the 17 Draconis thing work with the bounties you accrue? How do you dock back up at the station to turn in? You should not be incurring any bounties at all while killing skimmers during a civil war in 17 Draconis. If you are, then you are most definitely doing something wrong.

Pharnakes posted:How are you getting such good missions? I am now allied with the jets but it takes me maybe half an hour to get 20 missions most of which are 2-4 million with a handful up to 6. I've never seen any over 7. I'd say maybe 1/4 of the times I relog I get offered missions over 2m in payout, sometimes 2 or 3 from one session. The biggest bottleneck for me is the loading screen from the main menu to loading the station, will lowering settings reduce that at all? It may be because my combat rank is at Dangerous. The missions I'm getting for large amounts are for Deadly and Elite ranked. I made 140 million in that one run of missions last night.

Libluini posted:That's not really bad either, since it's still beta. Technically, we haven't ever gotten military slots, so one less is still one more then we have. I'd check the math on that, because when they were saying this, they were still talking about military slots replacing one of the regular slots, so that would be a netloss since you could only use one of the slots for "military" equipment. The corvette, for instance, was originally going to get an extra size 5 military slot, then it was going to have the same number but one would be military and the other normal, then they were going to remove one slot and add two military slots so you would have had 1 normal and 2 mil, and now I have no idea what the actual plan is for the live server when the patch actually drops because (as is a theme I've been harping on) FDev constantly talks out of both sides of their mouth and hates clarity. In other news: the DFS Senatorial Pork finally got >25ly range, so we are off to Jacques. I will have to beeline like a mofo, because I don't even have time to stop and scan: just stellar parkour all the way to Colonia.   White paint, purple lasers...   Neutron stars really do a number on the paint job, but...  Suck my jump range, nerds.  Seriously neutron stars are sicknasty fun.

I want to do some Powerplay so I can buy some prismatic shields. From what I can tell one way to get merits is to find a system an enemy power is trying to expand into, then go there, enter combat zones, and blow up ships, then turn in in a system controlled by my power. How do I determine which systems to go hunting in? Do I need to find a system contested between my power and theirs in the galaxy map?

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:h-how Lots and lots of mat grinding. My weapons combined weight is about the same as my shield booster. I got close to a max roll on the FSD, with a bit of extra fuel to push it. Lightweight mods on everything (utilities, weapons) and grinded secondary weight-savings mods for everything else.

To add to that, lightweight military armor is seriously impressive. A month or two ago I put grade 1 on my FDL and that nudged my jump range to a bit over 16 LY and it only has a class 4 jump drive mod. (got the parts for class 5s but I'm saving those rolls for another ship later) Once I finish my mining grind for the current engineer - which I'm dragging out because I hate mining - I'm probably going to upgrade the hell out of a DBS and go back to basics.

Plek posted:I finally got to 17 Drac to give this run a try and it only ever spawns dangerous+ NPC ships at the base. Weeee. Focus on the skimmers, which appear when you get closer than 250m. Kill them quickly, then log out before the ship can kill you. Alternately, use a precision weapon and avoid hitting the base structures (the ones with red lights in the corners). AFAICT the guard ships don't care if you're only hitting the skimmers.

So, what the hell My game is crashing just as I pull onto a landing pad. Every single time. I tried 4 times (I thought it was disconnects before but it's a straight up freezing of the game, so it's a crash) Is this a known issue? I'm running a file verification in Steam.

Since everyone is milking Draconis the wars tend to end really quickly.

So having already ground out a billion credits at 17 Dracs I decided to try the mine launcher strategy for kicks. ... Why didn't I try this sooner. You only need 1 mine in the vague vicinity of the skimmers and it kills the entire base. No muss no fuss, they're all just dead.
