Good job, way to not blow it at the last minute. Surface Scanners are pretty good, you'll be a very experienced and prepared explorer next time. Diamondback Explorer and Asp Explorer are my favorites for obvious reasons.

I've got 6 hours played now and I still feel like a loving idiot. These missions I've taken say to go to a location, then go to the conflict zones in those areas and kill a certain amount of Red some shitheads. It's listed as "Harmless", which is fine, because that's apparently what I am. Every single time, I go and look at every conflict zone, and every motherfucker there is with some Security Force. Some are marked "Lawless", which seems super hosed up for a Security Force, but that's not really my point. What am I supposed to be doing differently here?

Yeah, combat zones are not good places for anything but the finest ships with artisanal handcrafted engineering mods out the wazoo (and maybe three buddies). You will get chumped hard trying to solo a CZ in a ship with non-engineered modules, even Pythons, Vultures, FDLs and Anacondas get melted. Stick to Resource Extraction Sites and nav beacons for now. You'll still make credits, without swarms of milspecced ships focusing you down.

You won't be mass-locked against high-waking, so if you mess up your positioning leap out. This makes a lot of money, assuming you've accepted 2-3 massacre missions each worth a few mil + combat bonds. Khablam fucked around with this message at 10:10 on Jul 22, 2017 |

DreadLlama posted:https://eddp.co/u/SAWWvpod I wouldn't know, I've been avoiding PvP in this game like the plague. I feel like that kind of a loadout kind of ignores the Vulture's ridiculous shield ratios, though - it's got obscenely sturdy shields for somehting its relative size. Try biweaves and a couple of shield boosters.

I just want to pay the credits & get it dropped, a loving 5,000 credit bounty cost me a 12 million rebuy and an NPC copilot I'd been ranking up for days because I didn't realize and got caught by system security near a space station.

Unclamps from a landing pad. Boosts to the exit, windows drops to desktop "HEY BRO DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE COLOUR SCHEME!?" aaaaaaaaaah! tab back in tab back in! No, don't! Keep current, and never ask me ever again, EVER. AGAIN. "lol k cya next reboot" Every loving time! CPU and GPU are only pushed to about 20%! Benchmarking doesn't trigger it!

Managed to score a 49% FSD roll on my dolphin and a 55.4% on my DBX. Only took like 5 or 6 rolls for the latter. fully loaded my DBX does just above 55ly and at max jump hits 60. I could probably get it higher with better lightweight mods but I can't access lori jameson and gently caress that. You need dangerous combat rank to meet her but she's in the founders system which you need elite to enter. Why the gently caress did they put her there

My buddy has been ganked twice by the same guy (yes open etc).

I guess other ships might have beaten me to getting permission? The system was pretty busy (near a community goal, and sells the required items) but the ships near me were NPCs. Also I notice some bases on planets you can't even lock on and ask for docking permission, I'm assuming I need to be friends with the factions that control them?

The system was pretty busy (near a community goal, and sells the required items) but the ships near me were NPCs. If all the pads on a station are full and you request a docking permit, the station will helpfully kick out an NPC pilot to make room - you'll see them start the undock sequence, but of course it'll take time for them to undock. The problem is that if there are only players docked, the station can't just up and punt someone off the pad (although it would be hilarious). YOu can either wait around for someone to leave, or you can log out of the game and log back in in solo/private model - you'll be near the same station, but without other players involved. Fair warning, sometimes a bunch of shitheads or another decides to specifically hang around and idle on pads to 'blockade' community goal systems, especially if the station involved has limited pads to begin with. Of course you can get around it by playing solo, but still. Also, not all planetary settlements are dockable - a settlement icon with three towers, with a tall one in the middle, is a dockable one. The smaller icon with two shorter towers doesn't have accessible docking pads.These are typically designed to be targets for those 'go kill some skimmers' or 'scan colony datapoint' type missions, and sometimes you can find useful data off local datanodes.

If you don't want to go to the trouble of relogging and changing mode twice you can go to supercruise, loop around, and drop back out to reroll the instance.

Are you sure those aren't installations? They don't have landing pads - they serve as targets for missions/sabotage, and they have data points you can jack to sell for credits

If the station hated you it would be because you're hostile to that station's faction and it would show up red and would basically notify you that you'll be shot on sight.
