Seeking Crew and Build Advice

Postby PsychoVIII » Fri Sep 15, 2017 7:07 am

Hello, CMDR Zomborz here

My ship is an Anaconda, and only being 10 days into the game, I feel pretty awesome about that, but I still have a lot of learning, and work to do.

First, I only have for Engineers:
- Felicity Farseer
- Elvira Martuuk
- Tod McQuinn

So I don't have a lot of the really effectual upgrades yet, so build advice that works without engineering would be preferrable.

My Anaconda is equipped with:

No hardpoints

Lightweight Alloys
8D Power Plant w 4.47Mw tier 1 Overcharge
7A Thrusters
6A FSD w Tier 1 Increased jump range
5A Life Support
8D Power Distributor
8D Sendors w -61.3% mass from Tier 3 Low mass
Empty Military compartment

7A Shield Generator
6A Auto Field Maintenance Unit
6B Fuel Scoop
6E Cargo Rack (Placeholder for 2 fighter bay)
5E Cargo Rack
5E Cargo Rack
5E Cargo Rack
4E Cargo Rack
4G Planetary Vehicle Hanger + 2 Scarabs
(4 slot) 1C Detailed Surface Scanner
(2 slot) 1C Adv Discovery Scanner
Planetary Approach Suite

O.o considering I'm writing this on a phone, that was a LOT of tapping

Sell, it.
Buy an asp-x.

Learn to fly that.

Hey I'm Thor -
People call me Bob.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

Wow 10 days and already in an Anaconda, congratulations are in order, been no flies on you :) Tell me what ships have you had before the Anaconda? To be effective in combat you will have to spend many times the base price of the ship, and you are going to get pretty bored, or at least I would with the limited options of the set up you currently have. So I guess that is a less blunt way of agreeing with Tor, unless you have already gathered a fleet of ships within your 10 days :)

Ten days' play to build a well-equipped Anaconda?

And they say this game is getting too easy!

I'd make it all D-class except the FSD, fill up with cargo racks and... leave it in the hangar for haulage community goals and get back to a cobra MK3 or Python to run missions :p
use these to unlock engineers, gain rep at factions etc..

I made my way slowly through the game, got the anaconda after almost 2 years, and i end up going back to smaller ships. They are just way more fun IMO. Using the conda all the time is like going to the bakery across the street using a fat-ass SUV instead of walking :p Good for some things, overkill for most.

Spent some time in a Viper Mk3, then moved into a Diamondback Explorer. Loved that ship, eventually sold the Viper and Diamondback and went to a Dolphin for a bit, before returning to the diamondback.

Probably no surprise I've been working hard at Quince grinding empire rep and no small quantity of credits. I'm already so far outclassed by everyone, I don't mind a bit of exploiting to get myself a nest egg to build myself on.
