Thanks for the welcome!

I already moved to Armstrong City, with my Type 7 and Viper at the "garage". I've updated Inara http://inara.cz/market/17528/1040 for all system and station info and its commodities prices. With time, i'll be updating also nearby stations and systems, mainly for commodity prices so the traders in our sqadron can have a bit of downtime from the pew-pew

Also, installed cross talk... let's see how it goes, sounds promising!! Maybe if we shared some base setup would be cool, since i've never used that addon :/

See y'all up there, fellas

@Incubuss Sounds good! Since I see that you have a T7, let me give you a little trade route that might help you. You'll need at least a 16.87ly laden jump range to make it worth the time, but it IS definitely worth the time:

Duamta (Polyakov Station)/Beryllium -------> Anlave (Hogg City)/Sell
Anlave (Hogg City)/Progenitor Cells -------> Duamta (Polyakov Station)/Sell

If I remember right, this should net you about 280k each way. At least I think so. This was with 216 cargo for me. Could be different now, but I'm currently using this for my own route. It's roughly 550k/10 min. That being said, watch out for that white hot beast of a star in the Stein System;)

Eagles,

Just a bit more on the base. I realize that it may not be a permanent choice for us. We'll see how things go. If the majority ends up liking it; great. If not, we move. Hope everyone is doing well! Turbo out.

I can get to Borr on one tankful! See you all at the Nav beacon

@Turbo,

Thanks for the tip! I'm sure i'll take a look at the jump range... i think i have 14.something LY but i don't mind the extra 2 mins jumping between systems.

While this area is obviously less rich in easy, multiple, short trading routes, for me would be a secondary thing or something to do when there's no squadron duties to do. The system seems good to me and your initial reasoning is sound. Multiple extraction zones, lots of bounty hunting potential but, i'm more than ok of going somewhere else as well if it benefits us in the long run.

For trading and CMDR tracking, should we find an unified "app/webpage" tracker? I've used Thrudds, Slopey's and Inara... weirdly enough, i've enjoyed Inara's User Experience more than the others, even though i think thrudds has larger database. Problem with thrudds is... too much wrong data... Inara seems to be more precise. With the added bonus of the "CMDR's Log" thing where we can input our data and easily share, if necessary... Up for discussion!!!

Not at home now, still at my mate's friend BUT i'll be ingame in a few hours...

P.S. This is turning out to be great!!! Really looking forward of what we can make out of this!

Just moved my Viper to Armstrong City and started trading in the surrounding systems with my shiny new Cobra.

Eagles,

Glad to hear that a few of you are interested in the new system. I do like the volcanic-like planet close to the star. It's pretty neat looking. I'm very excited about our squadron and where it's headed. It's good to see a bunch of like-minded folks who enjoy the same type of gameplay that I do. Let's hope that the update proves to be fruitful. I've also heard that there is going to be an incentive to trade in a wing as well. Apparently there is going to be a percentage-based perk that is given per trade run. Could just be a rumor, but we'll see. Looks like I'll be settling into a Type 9 Heavy in about 25 mil or so. Shouldn't take too long. My plan for now is to get in the T9, buy a viper that's fully kitted out, and work between those two ships for now. When the squadron lifts off (no pun intended...) a bit more, I'll switch back into either a python or one of the new ships. The vulture does look pretty sweet and the power balancing is really just about the math and finding out little ways around problems. The Fer-De-Lance may be a bit too expensive, but we'll see. As much as I hate to say it (due to me not being a materialistic-type guy), it really comes down to credits. I want to ensure that I'm creating a high volume of funds for our squadron in case they decide to let us start sharing credits. Also, I want us to eventually have one big ship in the wing such as an anaconda or corvette. I think this will really bump combat to the next level, and give newer players a chance to hunt in large areas without so much risk.

Also, I'm going to look into writing some gameplay guides for our squadron to use as reference. This will obviously benefit the newer players more, but it would be cool for us to have some downloadable PDF's or something that have some basic info. If nothing else, I'm anxious to see our logo on something I plan on making guides for bounty hunting, combat tactics/wing flight (yes, I have to admit I'm interested in using a bit of formation flying if it's not too difficult;), trading, ship outfitting, and misc. tips. Hopefully this will help out everyone in the mobius group as well!

I still haven't heard back from the group about a dedicated TS channel, but I'm sure they'll get around to me at some point. Also, I plan on seeing about getting this forum subdivided for us to be a bit more organized. Would be nice if it could be broken down into tactics, trading, upcoming hunts, new pilots, etc...

Hope everyone's having a great day! Take care! Turbo out.
