What are you doing (ingame) now?

[TorTorden]

Finally had some decent run of luck of with engineering mods.

Primarily fsd range mods.
Got my python up to the 19.2 fully laden but it's mostly combat/multipurpose fit.
And my cutter does 22ly fully laden.
I even had enough mats to get a g5 distributor charge mod on the python as well..

Might consider better shields for her next.

Corvette update
Shields up to 5103.4

At what point does this become just funny?
Sit in a Haz RES with turrets, leave overnight, pick up 50Mcr in bounty vouchers next morning.

with G4 Reinforced shields tune (G5 was worse)

Yep, my level 5 roll was worse than level 4 as well.

and 8xG5 Heavy duty shield boosters

So ... you've got 120t of weight in Boosters alone, eh? Then again, they probably provide 4,500MJ of your shield strength.

I'm going to try to get my shields past 1,500MJ, with just 3 x level-5 boosters, with the level-4 engineered 5C Bi-Weave as its base, now that I just unlocked what's her name.

It is not so funny. It is almost essential. I get interdicted by Elite Anacondas that pop SCBs and use chaff all the time and they turn better then my Vette with DDT G5. I got down to 1 ring before kiling the conda in my last encounter.

And the intediction was for 1 unito of Heatsink interlink.... It is crazy....

CNN news reports Strong signal from sun-like Star sparks alien speculation, SETI is training the devices 94 LY from Earth, HD 164595 G-type star in the constellation of Hercules, certain it is not what Frontier Developers placed there but it would be fun to go look and we would locate it.

Hear me now

That moment when you get near one shot from 50 to 0 hull by a bounty hunter while undermining... with 500 merits unclaimed...

[Darwin]

Re-rolled the G3 Dirty drives for the Cutter, now get just over 400 boost
And G5 FSD range upgrades for the Asp and Cutter.
Also tweaked the colours of the weapons...

Even the Asp has G5 armour and some modified shield boosters and shields. And a shielded power plant, and G2 Clean Thrusters, G3 Charge Enhanced Distributer. And 'spare' modified pulses from the Cutter.
The Asp handles and boosts like a Cobra, with 36 LY range.
Setup for mining mats at the moment.

The Cutter can now do 26.24 LY in heavy PVE general/combat build still with 320 cargo (22.48 LY laden), with another 180 cargo easy by swapping out non-engineered modules, or the DC...

G4 Reinforced Shields
G3 Shield Boosters (mix of heavy duty and increased resistance)
Total 2933.7

G4 Hull reinforcement
G5 Armour
Total 1855.6

G3 Dirty Drives
G5 Increased Range FSD (26.24 LY)
G4 Charge Enhanced Power Dist.

G2 light weight C3 Beam with regeneration sequence
G3 efficient C2 Pulse with scramble spectrum
G3 efficient C2 pulse with thermal shock
G2 increased ammo C3 multi-cannon with corrosive shell
G4 increased ammo C4 multi-canonn with incendiary rounds
G1 increased ammo C2 multi-canonn with corrosive shell
G1 increased ammo C2 multi-canonn with incendiary rounds

I think I am engineered out for the moment. Need to go look for aliens.

Elite Anacondas looking to take my engineer goods get a bit of a shock now, if I let them catch up

If only I could find a few more modular f**n terminals for Qwent.

Thank You, Tod "The Blaster" ....... These screenshots were the *FIRST* rolls for Lvl 5 Sturdy Mount for each of the 4A Multis on the Vette. I couldn't be happier! (secondary effects aside)

One roll and done for each MC.... gotta love it!

I lost 0.5ly of jump range due to the extra weight, but I got a great FSD upgrade at Farseer last week, so it's all good.

Hello,
I'm thinking of going for G5 Enhanced Low Power Shields on my Vette and Python. And just going for 2 G5 Reinforced Shield Boosters on my Vette.

My Python has G5 Reinforced Shield mod on her Prismatics and it takes forever to regen the shields.

Have fun, fly safe. o7

[Geopan]

I see a lot of people taking the sturdy mount modification. Anyone willing to elaborate?

Thanks,

Geo
