Re: Tips and Tricks for a Brand New player

My two contributions for brand new players: Interdictions: Do not be worried about interdictions. Not only is it easy to escape them by submitting to them, and then boosting away and re-engaging FSD, but it has been my experience that you are not placing your ship at risk to engage the enemy ship, (...

Re: Shiny New Python

As for the AspX, I'd keep her, the Python (even engineered) doesn't have the best jump range, so if you want to do anything that involves a lot of travelling (exploration, passenger tourists, visiting megaships, etc...) then the Asp is the better bet. I do agree with you by and large, but maybe I s...

Shiny New Python

Finally decided the time was right to buy my Python, and the people who said I could have done it sooner proved to be right as I only sold one of my ships, my FAS and after A rating the Python I still have over 80 mill, so the fate of my AspX hangs in the balance as to if I sell it. The main point o...

Re: Exploring suggestions

Maybe I have been lucky, but I leave my settings as the fastest route with no filters for the stars, and I just try to pick as straight a line as I can away from my starting point. Once I am at least 1000 ly out I just mess about scanning planets. That said about being lucky. I do scoop at every sin...

Re: Tips and Tricks for a Brand New player

I really find the demands of some passengers requesting goods to be annoying. If I am transporting them and they ask to be taken to another destination to look at a CZ I always do it, if they want to take in a sight seeing place I always do it, but when they ask for goods I always decline. Maybe I j...

Re: I Has a Conda (Yay)

Yes I take your point and good advice, but I also have a DBX fully kitted for long hops. I use it when I want to go into the deep for a holiday :)

Re: I Has a Conda (Yay)

I think I will hold off buying the Python till I can fully kit it out the way I want. I am not in a hurry. My current assets are very modest compared to many people in the ED world, but with just over 400 mill I could buy any ship I want (rank permitting), but buying it and making fit for the purpos...
