I enjoyed the Eagle more. Although you have to stay away from Anacondas and some rich twat NPC in an ASP gave me a bit of bother. Kitting out the Eagle in Asellus Primus as I write this.

Well I have had my trading head on tonight in the hauler getting some dosh to try out beam lasers on the Viper........

Took a few lucrative missions................

Notice the balance on the last piccie..............


Took a few other missions...................Flew back to home port...........

Balance 131,000...............WTF.............Lost about 100,000 ish.....


Bang go the fecking beam lasers............


Also on one interdiction I evaded it in about a second !!!!!!!....Just made contact with the escape vector and bam....Interdiction avoided...............

Some strange shite happening for me tonight.........Bummer on the dosh though....That was about 2-3 hours work......All stations that I found with palladium only had 1 ........

Weird............


*Edit*

Maybe if one had not imbibed so much alcohol and become a dickhead.....He would have realised he had not sold the cargo he bought on the last run...........

*Runs away and hides in a corner*


*Edit 2*

Also forgot to mention....One must always remember what ship one is flying......DO NOT try to fuel scoop with the ship that does not have a scoop.......And just sit there staring at the screen and scratching ones head as the temp rises..... D'oh.....

Whilst on the subject.....Fuel scooping is a hell of a lot easier than it was on the original......Unless you get interdicted of course....Like I did on several occasions....

Tor.....Hold on.......Tor.......Wait a bit.....TOR will you stop fecking firing.......Ok......Tor I know a therapist that can help you....... :D My Cmdr also has small feet

Combat is one of the areas I've not really done much with in the betas so decided to sell my Asp last night and pick up a Viper. Thing is I've not been able to find any Power Plants to FSDs for it. Went to Styx, Aulin, Assellus Prime, I Bootis, Opala and Ovid and there were no plus symbols by either category.

Anyone had any luck with this recently?

Cheers Commanders Flip & Kharma, I'll go check them out (as long as my limited jump range allows me lol).

All those are good places. My favourite has to be G 180-18 which is a jump from Opala or Ovid (I can't remember which but it's out that way) kitted out my Viper with some lovely upgrades with a couple of trips there. The station begins with A I think.

I play this game when drunk a lot so sorry for being vague.

Alexandria Gateway, or something like that, I think.

Yeah, visited there earlier and picked up a B3 Power Plant, C3 FSD and an A4 Power Distributor :)
