I've decided to head back to Sol for the first time in several months, just to look around and run a few Fed missions.

Here's the Python with Sol and Venus looking down.

I also came across a coded message in one of the stations at Sol. It mentions a stranded ship somewhere on Charon. I went to the coordinates but didn't find anything. Maybe it's gone since the message was from 22 Dec.

The capital ship was stranded and partly on fire. They didn’t even broadcast SOS’es on the local channel like NPC’s in distress usually do.


Would have been funnier if it were out of gas and asking you to transfer some fuel. :lol:

Just completed my mighty Vulture, "Silverback." Very pleased with it though it suffered in inauspicious inaugural flight as I screwed up in a Hazardous RES and attacked a wing consisting of an Anaconda and two Fed Assault Ships, getting myself all kinds a blowed up. Alas, this is why I always have at least enough cash for two buybacks. Still, this unfortunate episode aside, I am most pleased with her.

Check her out and tell me what you think:

Man.... sorry to hear that you got blown to bits. Those wings in the RES can be deadly. I'd be happy to wing up with you sometime, if you're interested.

I took a look at your Vulture. Nice loadout! A couple of things that I'd change (if it were my ship).....

Go to D life support.... you never know when an extra couple of minutes might save your life

Drop the point defense. The NPC's usually seem to fire missiles while you have shields, and missiles do very little damage to shields.

I'd add a 2nd chaff laucher in it's place, and keep it powered down. If you use a lot of chaff in the RES, you've got a second load on hand this way. ;)

Without the point defence, and with the 2nd chaff turned off, now you have a bit more power. Trade in that B shield booster for an A. :)

Here's what my changes look like:

If you're rarely loosing your shields in combat, you may want to drop the hull upgrades for additional maneuverability.

Hmm, I hadn't considered disabiling the 2nd chaff launcher. I tried mounting 2 but they both fired at once which was kind of wasteful but this way would work nicely. Thanks, I'll try that! You're right about the PD laser as well, has proven to be sort of pointless. Thanks for the input. I'd love to tem up in an RES some time. I haven't encountered any other players yet since joining the group but I'm in Aliance Space and not sure how many people are there. I'm going to head to the Mobius base soon and probobly start using that as an HQ.

Glad to help! :)

Once you move to Azrael area, you'll be around a lot more commanders, and you'll be in my backyard. ;) I am frequently in-game around this time of day on the weekend (as I am right now) if you want to wing. Today I'm doing long distance secret missions, but will be back home tomorrow at this time if you're in the area and want to wing up.

Where is which ship??? I was just returning to a system where I stored two ships in two different stations, and the usual info about which ship is actually stored in which station in the System Info screen has vanished. Stations are marked if they contain a ship of mine, but which ...?
Am I blind?

Another one: Is there a possibility to target CMDR ships only? Not for PvP of course, but at some stations, it would make life so much easier for contact/ID with all those NPCs around.

Doing some shadow deliveries out of 17 Draconis. Lots of pirates and security services ships following you around, which lends some excitement. :)

It's a nice change of pace from my normal routine.

BTW, the donation missions are still plentiful on the BB at 17 Draconis if anyone is interested.
