Took a trip to Borr and refitted my Battleconda

DPS 26 all Pulses
Shields 1547MJ (7A+8*A0 Ss)
Armor 2108 (Military plus HullReinforcements)
15 SCB charges of 365MJ each 15*(6A+5B)
and still got my ass kicked in a CZ when 4 pythons jumped me while taking care of their Anaconda body...

At least I managed to escape and cache 1,5M in bonds....

Been there, done that. Why is it that the NPC's can have larger wings than we can? :?


Would have preferred the Wing of 8 I saw earlier. All Master or Higher Sidewinders ;)

Edit:
Hmm wrong quote, guess I need more caffeine.

Since the instancing is still so broken that getting even two wingmen let alone four together is a total crap shoot.

So don't go to station in system. Pick a system with facilities close to the sun and jump there.
Even having e rated life support I have never died to a canopy breach.

I've been doing OOM missions for a few days. Haul, trade, pirate killing ones. Yesterday I learned that having illegal cargo won't get me killed by cops, just get a fine which is less than the value of items. I was sure everything even slightly illegal is punished by 3 trigger happy cops in Anacondas aiming at my canopy. Also learned that having illicit cargo onboard will make authorities so much more aggressive and there seems to be more of them on every corner until you lose the cargo.

Flying mainly in Asp, a bit in a Cobra. Lasers and multicannons only so far. Just tried railguns for the first time and they are so much more fun than those two.. Or then it is just that new gun smell :) Have to try other guns as well some day.

Saving up for Python. Started to have second thoughts on that when shooting down Pythons in a railgun Cobra with ease.

Not much people in Azrael. I blame Fallout ;)

I need to sell discovery / surface scanners. If I find unexplored systems I use way too much time for those and it is not that profitable. Usually no problem but now when I have that Python in my mind..

Have not slept yet today. Or I mean yesterday I guess. Find myself staring at a pixel on a screen for 5 minutes. Maybe it is time to brush my legos and go unconscious for a few hours.

My ass hurts and I've made money. But I still have pants on. I checked. Might have been sitting too much.

Right. Legos. Sleep. Good night

Hello,
Been at the CZ for the community goal. And celebrating Deepavali.
Got enough bonds for top 5. So now mostly doing weapon and prismatic shield testing on Lady Jayne. But pretty much done with the CG. Heading back into Möbius since I've been going the CG in solo and heading to Azrael.
Have fun, fly safe.

Yeah that probably would have worked. Even better would have been to run like hell as soon as it breached instead of wasting 4 minutes to finish killing a conda. Would have only lost out on 80k instead of 200k in bonds and 200k in rebuy cost.
