Re: Why does the ship tell you to 'slow down' AFTER you can't actually slow down?!

At 6 seconds I press the "8" button on my keyboard which is bound to 75% throttle... and it coasts the rest of the way (barring other nearby gravity wells) staying at 6 seconds until about 3 or 4mm where it drops to 5... perfect almost every time without having to fiddle with anything or s...

Re: What is it That Makes Exploration so Interesting?...

I've done a few short trips, it's not for me though. My biggest problem is if I take the plunge and take a trip to Sag A* or something further I am dedicated to completing it. I struggle with the idea that I'm essentially locking myself into a single role until I return. I can't decide today I want ...

Re: Need more CMDRs at RES Farm!

I can usually get a decent spawn in the Fusang system. The majority of spawns will be small, but a few resets I'll get a large spawn. I'm rank 2 with Hudson so I get a 40% (unless he dropped in ranking again) bonus to bounties, with a large ship spawn I can easily rake in 5-10 million an hour. The t...

Re: Faction specific weapons/equipment

I think this Thursday will be 4 weeks, I know I'll be rank 3 by the end of this week, will have to wait another to get the flak cannon though.

Re: NPC Combat Rank and Mechanics

#5 I am fairly certain doesn't happen. I remember reading a post from the AI programmer that said they did test subsystem targeting internally but it made the AI too difficult so any subsystem damage is chance. Everything else likely varies depending on rank. I'm sure they have a table with the diff...

Re: PSA: Wanting to get involved in PowerPlay but don't know what to do?

Now that I understand PP a bit better, this kind of stuff is very important. Contributing to the wrong system can negatively impact your power.

Too bad there isn't some in game mechanism to coordinate effort.

Re: Lower bounties since Power Play?

An update (in case anyone still reads these :) ) Last night I managed another large spawn, 8 mill and a few more % on my rank. I then wing'd up with Boxcar and we probably reset 15 times, and I did several times solo as well... small ships. Some started with a Python or Clipper, but only 1 then all ...

Re: Lower bounties since Power Play?

Oh forgot to mention another AI gem I saw last night. There were sec forces after a while in my large ship spawn, including 3 anacondas. One anaconda in particular seemed to be a bit of a grump as it would ram every wanted guy... this wasn't some mistake once in a while where they clipped eachother....

Re: Lower bounties since Power Play?

Last night I did 2 spawns, 1 at the millepe system, and then 1 at the fusang system. The first attempt was just small ships but when I returned to Fusang I got a big ship spawn... in an hour I managed (with the bounty bonus from Hudson) to make 10mill cr and raised my rank by 4%. Large ship spawns a...
