Thanks for the advise Zetr0.

I thought that would be the case during some research.
The mat farming won't go to waist I can use traders to trade them for what I need.

I'm happy with my Anaconda so far. Using it for multi mission role. So a bit of combat/exploration & engineer mat farming.

I prefer the anaconda over smaller ships it gives me alot of versatility. Just an epic feeling of achievement and glory flying that magnificent beast :D

Also I can just plant my self in a rez site & melt bounties without to much running around :D

The ship is mostly A rated now with full G5 mass Manager 6A fsd & grade 3 7A dirty thrusters so far. A few other as well.

Just need to unlock some of the other engineers and go farming for the Gardian Booster.

I don't really have any issues with jump ranges I get 24 - 26 Ly atm without sacrifices to the potency or the main loadout of the ship.

I then put in a big fuel scoop which makes refueling a breeze.

I got to jamerson crash site easily, the story there is very cool :D

I did not notice the backup light in space no one hears you beep. One way to see it is drive backwards using the turret view. I believe the light lights up when you use the throttle in reverse. At night, I use night vision and turn around the SRV, so it is easy to miss but all those surface hours driving with friends we should have seen the light.

Thats alot of anacondas! They are not cheap ships by any means.

Yeah night time farming is spooky as hell!

I'm doing the cg now farming the bounties.
Made it to top 75% and it counts towards my rank.
Good fun!

Interestingly - this is not on mine -

I wonder if this might be an Odyssey thing?

Not playing Odyssey deleted it wait for the main release. Wonder if it is a Hanger class thing G or H will check when I get to the PC. I know I was in the Explorer. Do you have it in Reverse, and throttling backwards I believe that is when the light appears?

Currently, I am collecting mats because I have a little bit of grade 4 and 5 grade resources, but in recent times it has slowed me down terribly due to other matters.
