Need more CMDRs at RES Farm!

[blazingmaniac]

I did find that particular RES very dark generally, more so than others I frequent. Moved back to my home system for a couple of reasons, firstly I was not getting the decent ship spawns despite several revisits there and also as I am not friendly with the system all ships show as unfriendly/unknown so i was having to be super careful engaging so as not to shoot system authority vessels.

Ahh good to be back in familiar territory once again.

The only downside is that the rings orbit the planet at really high speed, so a daytime and nighttime are about an hour and a half each. It is rather dark when the sun is blocked, but I just fly slowly or above/below the asteroid belt. In areas that are pitch black (facing the planet during night), fly above the asteroid field and when entering, fly like you would when driving in a really bad storm, SLOW; 0 pips to engines, and slow maneuvers

Meh, LP 547-159 has a really crap selection of parts and weapons. It becomes annoying to travel nearly a WHOLE ls to get back to the station.


For an all-day RES that is close to a well-equipped station, check out LTT 4961. I think you will find it a lot easier. It does take awhile to get used to bounty hunting in the dark; but as long as you fly slow and with the lights on you will be fine.

Any RES will have good spawning or bad spawning; it's all RNG; Random! I always brute-force my way to get good spawning. I simply keep popping back in from SC to the same RES; and after about 1-5 times, I'll be able to get loads of larger ships to spawn the whole time I stay.

edit: Since asteroids in the dark is rather dangerous, I will now label RES' that will have poor visibility. If I miss any RES' please let me know!

edit 2: I really like night fighting at RES' and will be listening to this while killing in the dark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nba3Tr_GLZU

Sorry for the double post, but this is the kind of system I have been looking for:



High Tech Coriolis Starport with nearly everything 28 Mm - 0.2 ls from 3 RES, and a low conflict zone. Metal Rich with Major Reserves. All nicely packaged.
Independent System: LTT 4961

This is my new favorite; goodbye Iota Persei
Always Day
22 ly from Empire, 35 ly from Alliance. Surrounded by Feds and Independents.

I'll be sticking around here when I upgrade to an Anaconda and then some. I doubt I will be able to find a system that will top this one. Is this the one? Does anyone know a high tech starport closer than 28 Mm from an RES?



edit: Tjindjin is 5.68 ly which is another High Tech system if LTT 4961's Conway City is missing any parts.
edit 2: you'll get used to the light...

Sweet, gonna go check that one out.

DAMN! That is sure BRIGHT Need some sun shields or something.

It really isn't that bad once you enter the asteroid field. But it sure is different from all the RES' I've seen so far!


Very Metal Rich Asteroids?

Might just have to go to that gem you've found for a look when I get home tonight - as long as it isn't too far away from Leesti that is.. ;

Can you guys update as to the best res sites near any CG?
For Grinding as well as a base for mission and rep grinding?

Yep, I could do with a base of operations.

I need the following!

A place to park up the Python (Stripped down to maximize my credits and re-equip at will) so the station would need to be high tech and have all those expensive modules! (IE A7 power plants) maybe other a spec gear.

It would also need to have some fractions to grind, I have allied the wong guin, so would need a new system to grind imperial rep.

It would be great if It has a few RES sites near by!

It would help if there are some trade routes near by (say 50 Lyr).

It would be nice if it is near the CG's

It would be nice if it sold the vulture, plus all the gear to a spec it!

Any ideas?

My current base is NLTT 8653 in Empire Space - been close to the last few Empire CG's.

Has 3 RES sites around NLTT 8653 1 - all in sunshine.

High Tech station - Seamans Landing has most things in stock including E3 Gimballed bursts - if that station doesn't have it then either Sak Manka 1 jump away or Saisiyat 2 jumps away will.

As of today it has Combat Zones also.

It does sell the Vulture.

I bought my Conda here and got all the A and B spec items in NLTT 8653, Sak Manka and Saisiyat.

And pretty good trading to be had in the area also - especially in a Python for outposts in extraction systems selling gold etc.

[clivewil]

his is the kind of system I have been looking for

LTT 4961, that's where i am right now.
they even sell Vultures there, so i didn't have to go hunting for one nearby
no C3 gimbal beams though have to make do with pulses
