Chuck's Combat Explorers, Volume 2: The Viper

To start, I'm talking about the Viper Mk IV. Yes, the heavy one. Here's the build . It's essentially a smaller railgun version of my Challenger build from before. It deals less damage (actually twice the burst damage, but you can't fire the rails non stop even if you can hit with them constantly) an...

Why the Challenger is secretly awesome.

Ok, yes, I know. I know all the reasons why the Chieftain is a better ship. But to be fair, I'm the guy who wrote this and said the Dolphin is the best exploration ship in the game, so I'm a bit obtuse when it comes to ship choices. So please, hear me out. First, here is my current build. (Still wor...

My New Home

For the past few months I've been using Barba Ring in LP 355-65 as my "home base" because it's a Li-Yong Rui system with almost everything available in outfitting. However, I acquired an Imperial Clipper today and decided I wanted a new place to hang my flight helmet with a large pad, a sh...

Re: My Completely-Personal-Opinion Best Exploration Ships List

Does it not have a heat problem? I thought this might cause it problems fuel-scooping. I've not had one. Even with Grade 4 Dirty Drag Drives (but, to be fair, also with an armored efficient power plant) mine can deep scoop to full from below half a tank without passing 80%, even on large blue or wh...

My Completely-Personal-Opinion Best Exploration Ships List

So...I've been watching quite a few Elite youtubers lately and noticed that even the ones that don't specialize in "top 5" lists still do one. Between my 6MBit DSL, my face for radio, and my voice for television, I am in no position to publish a video myself. Thus...I'm typing a list out i...

Re: CMDR ChuckDM

So...a couple more builds. Note that I've used all of these before, but am not using them now. (Probably throwing the Keelback one back together this week though.)

Re: CMDR ChuckDM

Yeah, I really like rails. I'm absolutely terrible with every other fixed weapon, even lasers, but I tend to land at least 70% of my shots with rails. That said, right now I actually put a pair of MCs on the Courier. I'm saving the rails though. I find the pairing of 2x rails and 2x beam lasers (gim...

Re: General screenshot thread

Well...and since I finally arrived, I suppose a few pictures of the Witch's Head Nebula are in order: https://i.ibb.co/DkLdd9c/6-22-19-The-Witch-s-Head.jpg https://i.ibb.co/p0wgkGp/6-22-19-Staring-Down-A-Witch.jpg Got really lucky with the angle. Went to a different system first and just happened th...

Re: General screenshot thread

After plotting my own course out to the recent Guardian site (where The prospect is) I managed to hitch a ride on The Conduit barely 20 minutes before it made the jump back to Zende. Now I've decided I'm making another trip out to the Witch Head Nebula (because it's the nearest puff of pretty space ...
