What are you doing (ingame) now?

[SoliDeoGloria]

So,

Lesson #1 for noob scrub-lord explorers: do NOT investigate strong signals in deep space in your unarmed sidewinder - I went boom and lost two hours worth of scan data.

Lesson #2 for noob scrub-lord explorers: when heading out of a station, don't let the excitement of 'getting back out there' cloud your speed and orientation perception - you can go boom in a station too.

Lesson #3 for noob scrub-lord explorers: after getting killed (see Lesson #1), don't arm yourself and then go back out exploring without considering the change in jump distance and fuel consumption - which can screw you big time if you have to make two jumps into un-scoopable star systems.

Lesson #4 for noob scrub-lord explorers: learn how to use a basic scanner. HINT: bind it to a fire group and then SCAN systems when you enter them. It does not 'automagically' work when you enter a system just because it's installed in your ship.

decided to take my Sidewinder across the galaxy.

I did a lot of research and sold my weapons, my cargo holds and upgraded my fsd, pd and installed a fuel scoop.

With upgrades, I'm at about 13ly jump capable and have gone about 150ly toward the core.

My plans are to circle around Sol at about a 400 ly radius until I accumulate enough credits to put on an advanced scanner and surface scanner, then head for the far side of the universe. I stop every 100 ly so far and sell my data - it's kind of slow going, but I'm enjoying it.

Did a little roundtrip in my ASP, visited Azrael and Rafferty's Mobius, then decided to head to LHS 3447 where my unused Freagle was parked, sold it and then made my way to the closest Alliance system to hand in all the Alli bounty vouchers I piled up (900k!). Plotted route back to my home system Chedita and noticed that some of the systems I passed through had rares for sale. Buying as many as they offer, I slowly make my way home. Scanned every unknown star, unfortunately no first discovery tag yet. Enjoying NPC interdictions, must be quite a surprise for them to find out that the ASP with the Trader decals and cargo filled with rares actually packs a deadly punch

All in all a really chilled Saturday morning

Well grinded to 2 mill......Jumped in my Cobra and installed my final upgrade.....

Stored the T6 and decided to check out the new bounties at the Nav beacon....

Kin ell....

Scanned a sidey....10000 Cr.....Can't be......Oh well.....Bye Bye.....

50000 on an Asp and about 85000 on an Anaconda.....

My My...Things have changed.....

Now going to build up my bank balance and go off into the big black.....

I might pop into Lugh to kick some non Fed arse......

Be seeing you.....

[Emanon]

I have returned from a long journey on the outskirts of civilIzed space on and after a decent haul in credits and 40+ first discoveries, I decided to head back and I'm now also contributing to the fight in Lugh!

After much pew pew finally got to Master



Also, thanks to Commanders Lapsang and Comosus Phloxx for this afternoon's Nav cleaning 'Wings' fun

[Huntemdown]

Decided to finally bite the bullet and take the long lonely walk to Sagitarius A, must stop getting distracted and wanting to scan everything or its going to take forever. No damage or interdictions to get out of the bubble of civilization, went straight up 1000Ly but had to drop back down to the 600-700 level to get a few more options. Hopefully find some goodies along the way, just please no Thargons or Thargoids or bloody Tribbles, time to start day 2, only 1500ly done.

Bought a new toy

ASP now maxed out for trading

[Ev Tankero]

Hoi!

I too have fitted my newly achieved ASP to a "maximum profit trade vessel".
To cmdr Xebeth, what is your view of fitting an ASP to a trade runner?

My ASP has now the lightest modules (according to Elite Shipyard) and the most suitable power modules in order to give the maximum
- jump range
- cargo hold space possible.

But as of to answer to the OP, finally:
I have played most of my time in the game in Solo, soon that will be overrun by being a member of MOBIUS private group. Hail to you all, fellow members of the MOBIUS, 07
In the very beginning my "route" to winning this game... ah yes, there is no end, is there...was to try out the peaceful aspects of this game and up till now i have solely sticked to the profession of trading.
My first trading vessel was the Sidewinder, the next one the Hauler that i traded for a Cobra (which i still own), next one was the Type-6 freighter which i just recently, after ripping it off every module i could - selling them separately to the outfitter, traded for this ASP which is now fitted for becoming my last M-class trading vessel.

In the future i may be interested in trying some bounty hunting activities, taking a side in the conflict zones and kill the enemy in there (hech, what an overestimation of my combating skills there ) but for now, i will every time when starting the play session join the MOBIUS and head to trading on my not-yet-dead trade route.

I hope you all have your own fun in the game too!

So I have gone for this, it gives over 24Ly jump range with 116T cargo and a reasonable defensive capability



I'm sure there are improvements that could be made, loosing the Docking Computer would give another couple of T of cargo, and dumping the weapons would increase jump range.

Parked the Viper and tried RES hunting with my ASP, had a lot of fun and made nice profits. Shredded lots of Pythons, Dropships, Clippers and Condas. Must admit the ASP does handle quite different to the Viper, and shields are not that thick
