Well tonight i will be relocating all of my assets to Azreal because it seems like a cosy place to be and i am growing tired of Wangal.
Aside from that, just working out a nice trading route (i love prospecting) and readying my DBE for another journey into the void!
No idea what my destination will be this time though.

Weeping inside. I finally have the money to buy an A7 power plant for my Python, but the LYR outfitters that I tried don't have any. Lembava, 109 Piscium, Baldr, a few others that I tried out of desperation. No stock anywhere. I came all the way from Alliance space after grinding all night but I have finally given in. It's like 1976 all over again and I just can't get a carton of Slime.

Just got back from a 3 week, ~60K LY trip to Sag A*.
Visited 2226 new systems and performed 2053 L3 scans.
Profit was 56.1M CR.
Ranked up from 2% Pioneer to 59%.

Damn, I was hoping for more. :roll:

Oh well, back to BH for a while, I guess, and shoot for Deadly - only 25% to go.
It's time to give this another go.

Is there really a reason to spend that much money on a powerplant? Do you actually get more time to use your weapons with more power? Or do you have power management issues?

I run a full combat Python with 1248hull and 635Mj shields on a C7 PP. Everything is turned on, no disabled modules, and I chew through anything in a few seconds :D

Reason? Need? Are those really things you consider when playing this game. I am all about buying all the things when I can because I can LOL.

I have 4 different weapon builds for the Python that I move between based on mood and I will link 2 of them because they both use about 29.9 of the 30 MW that the A7 powerplant supplies. You can decide if it is reasonable or not.

"Because I can" - is a valid enough reason :D

And I see why you would need more power. Those shields + cannons + plasma guns... yea... power/heat overload hehe.
This is my Python. I like stuff that goes pew-pew and I since everything up to asps (including) dies within 5sec, i don't ever want to change my loadout. Fighting bigger ships is also a breeze because lasers just eat through shields hehe

Well I hope you tried Aasgananu-Houssay Ring and Pikum-Rushworth Station because I am rather sure that is where I got mine. There was a thread where we flushed out where you could find most thing in LYR space, but I lost it.

Basically this:

for a pair of class 2 gimballed beam lasers, since apparantly the station I keep my python sells c3 gimballed beams, but not c2....

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