Top 10% in the bounty hunting CG and top 25% in the famine one.

If this Python had 1 more slot, it would be the perfect Medium ship to go have fun in with a mixed mining, cargo, combat, and planetary setup. As it is, I keep shooting things, so shieldless is a non-starter.

Anyway, scanning and scooping along the way to 1846.

Heading to Wyrd to meet the Dweller. Then back out to Sothis to mine and grind missions.

Decided to partake in the Gooheimar CG instead. Federation stuff so hopefully will help with my ranking.

Using Collector Limpets to collect all the engineer cargo after a fight or in an emissions detected situation. Lazy Mode 10.

Beat an FDL earlier, and I felt really accomplished after doing so, cause that wasn't an easy fight. Used The Dweller to get my lasers to partially bypass shields now.

Spent some quality time with Farseer this weekend doing my first engineer upgrades.

Got the Vette's speed increased by 17% with a level 3 thruster upgrade. Increased it's jump range from 11.94 to 16.45 with a decent level 5 roll.

Feeling pretty good about my first engineer visit. I have the goodies needed for a few more level 5 FSD rolls, so I'll be taking my mission runner Python back for an upgrade when I get time later in the week.

Also, had a good winged RES hunt with CMDR SorcererX. :evil:

Electrical wiring issues ...

Sorry haven't been around since late last week. Had other duties, but turned on my gaming PC's UPS to a pop on Saturday evening.

After 12 hours, and after moving a lot of stuff out-of-the-way, finally got the entire circuit mapped out, everything off of it, and cannot figure why the breaker didn't trip, but definitely takes the circuit off-line if I manually trip it, while some outlets still work, but not some downstream. Got a call into the Pros.

I think adding the GTX 980 Ti to my unit put the circuit over the limit. I had quite a bit on it, and it's probably best that I not only get a Pro to figure it out, but to run more lines. It could be a critter after all.

Creator knows we had infestations after the 2004 barrage of hurricanes, all of us did, and some might have figured out how to get in ... again.

Is that a laden-range upgrade, or max range? 16.45Ly laden would make the corvette viable in many other roles besides standard combat. Personally, I love landing the Corvette and using it for SRV mining. It has great thrust/weight compared to the Cutter, looks great, and lands easily.

Anywho, back out to Sothis with Wine Tea, Women Non-Lethal Weapons, and Song Power Generators.

It happens. :roll: How do you like your Vive so far? I've been using one for a couple of weeks, and love it.... in small doses of an hour or so at a time. Have you been tweaking the SuperSampling in SteamVR? If not, it's worth a go. It certainly helped sharpen up the text in E-D for me. I run the multiplier at 1.6 in SteamVR and SS at 0.75 in E-D. That's on a GTX-1080SC card.



I have been tweaking the Supersampling, 1.5 is the sweet spot for me as I'm "only" using a 980ti. :D and 0.75 in game. Any more than that and the stuttering starts. As for what I think about ED in VR even with the image issues? I'm never going back to my monitor for ED.

Better news is that I finally pulled the trigger on trying to get cable up to my house. It's going to cost quite a bit but I can't handle 768k DSL any more...even my wife is complaining and she's the biggest technophobe I know! So hopefully at some point, I'll actually be able to play in the Mobius group properly :)
