Re: Shield breaker mines, but also hitting myself ...

From my experience, the Class 1's are the only hardpoints on the 'Conda that can safely fire mines while cruising straight ahead. You could try some fancy flying with FA-off (pitch up so you are coasting through space belly-first, then fire a class 2 mine). That should keep you from physically running over your own mines. But you may still detonate them yourself because you won't be able to gain distance quickly.

And here with the cutter my main problem is to not drift too far for the mines to hit..

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

Hi All,

Well 19% past LT. Commander, looking for a spot to stack some Boom data delivery missions to polish off finally getting my Corvette, with little luck finding any, still the looking for them is fun.

Dawg and Tor talked me into blowing 350 million to get another Cutter (had one that I sold when I hit trade Elite). That was Saturday. Of course it needed some FSD Love. Got it to 31.6 empty. Also did some drives, power plant, shield boosters and other tweaks.

Then we headed to Sothis where I parked up for the night. Didn't get on till early afternoon. Managed only 2 runs today with a 640T cutter. Total after expenses (includes a couple of bounties and scan data sales) just over 127 Million for 2 runs. We had to bounce between Sothis and Ceos, but it is definitely worth it.

I was almost in a panic after buying the Cutter and having only 117 in the bank. Have not had that little in a long time. But feel better with about 245. Will probably do another run or two this week as long as they hold out to get the reserves back up.

Oh and finally got my first Modular Terminals today. 4 in total already dropped at Marco. Only 21 to go..........

:P

After Didi worked her magic converting G3 shield boosters to G5 on the Cutter, I did the same with the Asp.

Then took another jaunt to the Pleiades.
Stopped off to farm a few unknown fragments for Palin.
It turns out that I am a few hundred LY short for Palin access, could have sworn I was over 5000.
So running a few missions for engineer goodies (force of habit) and back to the bubble to collect the Asp (deliveries on the way back)
Last delivery is 300,000 Ls from the jump in. Made 14 Mil on the trip back, so not so bad.

Dont know why I am lugging around 65T of engineer stuff though.

Just in case...
