What are you doing (ingame) now?

[tinnitus]

I was bored with the game, took a break, then came back. I thought just do stuff I enjoy, trade, run missions. At the time I was in the Bodb Dearg Sector the first sector popped in my head was Quince, no not Quince earned my Elite Combat Rank there the thought of it reminds me how much my stick-hand hurt from dogfighting. Called in the Cutter outfitting her to be a little more Jump friendly then loaded a few tonnes of Viagra (performance enhancers) for the ground crew plotted course for CEOS. Visiting selected stations that I am friendly with to do missions, checking out signal sources, using the SLF, and SRV planet side is a hoot. That was a few days ago I am still flying towards Ceos enjoying the ride. I'M BACK! And it feels good.

Welcome return Commander - tinnitius -o7-

I have been so busy, so much has happened... a little while back I took some time with a few days break due to grinding materials a bit too much one might say.... however since then... some highlights.....

1. Managed to get a Wing Mission payout of $959,000,000 credits to share with my Wing
( that was a good day in grinding those 20 missions - )

2. Bought a Fleet Carrier "The Pax Magellanic"

3. Joined a Squad ( High Guard )

4. Took down Jupiter Division (Community Goal - managed top 10%)

5. Unlocked some more engineers,

6. Jumped to the Ananconda Grave Yard ( about 3,500 LY outside the bubble and into the gap in the spiral arm )

7. Abused the Neutron Super BBQ - Highway -

Truly messed up at a White Dwarf - not pretty... my Phantom - "Mad Mats" wasn't having any of that!

8. Stacked up some serious Pirate massacre Mission in Pikum - there should be much less of Pikum Family Pirates now.

9. Engineered some ships..... REALLY REALLY fast ones please meet the following

Now just before we start, yes one can get a lot faster than these builds but the idea is to have a Usuable vehicle *that can jump about 20 light years * so that you can actually DO things with them as opposed to a bunch of thrusters strapped to a hull and hope for the best.

Lucky 777 - Viper Mk3


She has a a Top Cruise speed of 650 m/s amd a Boost Speed of 813 m/s - ( without Weapons ) she is very VERY quick with enough juice in the Engine Capacitor to get too full Boosts out, before you know it you are the better part of 16 Kilometers away.

With weapons [ a total of DPS of 167.6 ] a cruise speed of 647 m/s and a boost of 811 m/s

Why the Lucky 777 ? - Well in the initial build of this vessel her top speed ( with boost was 777 ) and so the name kinda stuck.

She has a jump range of 19.02 Light Years with a radius of 33.26 Light years, an SRV Bay for venturing out on planets and "meets" as well sporting 2 Engineered Frag Cannons and 2 Engineered Beam Lasers she is also complimented with two banks of Engineered Chaff Launchers and despite all this she has some Shields too ( to be fair it is more of a Blue Light but it says its a shield )

Please have a read here to see the full compliment of this vessel.

The other is an exceptionally fast Interceptor

So a similar Caveate to the one above - there are faster builds, but these builds must have *about* 20 LY jump range and have usablity attached to them, such as an SRV, weapons etc

Diablo 888 Interceptor - Imperial Eagle


In her current configuration ( fast Interceptor ) she has the following profile

Jump Range 19.21 Light Years
Jump Radius 35.43 Light Years

Top Cruise Speed : 683 m/s
Top Boost Speed : 910 m/s

Weapon DPS : 155
With two 1E Gimblaled engineered Frag Cannons and a further Engineered Gimbaled Beam Laser she can pack a punch, having Chaff reduces the Enemies chance to lock on with Gimbaled based Hit Scan weapons as you boost your way out of trouble. One can increase the DPS of the Interceptor to just over 200 if you are good with a couple of Fixed Weapons Frag Cannons.

Sacrificing weapons this Is quite the fast platform, with over 932 m/s Boost Speed and nearly 700 m/s Cruise Speed - this is an amazing data courier.

anyway, both of these are incredible fun to fly - and we tested these out at the last Commanders Meet at Dav's Hope - Commander Logic infact did stream the event.


You can review the build here Commander

[Rayman]

I unlocked Imperial cutter. Now I am doing the feds rank farm in the canopus system to unlock corvette

[Zetr0]

Congratulations Commander Rayman -o7-

I know what kind of grind that is, enjoy your well deserved Imperial Cutter - you wont be dissapointed!

As for the Federal Rank - god speed Commander

If its worth anything I did the Sothis to Ceos runs with my Python - Halcyon Run - there are various stations in both systems that you can grab lots of missions ( mainly data courier ) - a medium ship is recommend as its mainly medium landing pads.

I love my Corvette its an amazing machine - have a look here - A true System Authority vessel

I regret taking so long before doing both the Imperial and Federal Ranks as both ships are Amazing, and when you engineer them.... Oh boy!!!!

Again, great work on the Imperial Rank Commander -o7-

[Rayman]

I just unlocked. Thanks for showing Sothis to Ceos runs. It went much faster, not as much as in imp rank grind but at least there were two systems only. Now I'm going to guardian sites to unlock the guardian shield module because I'm planning to do a viper mk 3 build for bounty hunting.



A build i planning to do for viper mk3.

Updated build.
https://s.orbis.zone/dqf0

I watched a guy named flinklock engineering and efficient is a must if you use at least two of the same weapon modes. What in my case is 2x pulse lasers and 2x mcs

I have fer de lance but focused more on conflict zones and want to test this kill warrant scanner thing.

[KW_JOSEY]

In Jimavi at the moment. Mostly flying delivery missions for OoM for Inf gains.

@Commander Rayman -o7-

Congrats on making Rear Admiral!!! you are going to really enjoy that Corvette I am sure.

And nice looking Viper!!!! Impressive combat speed indeed!!!

@Re: Kill Warrant Scanner
I swear by these - if you have a combat craft and have a spare space - get one - it will pay for itself within 10 pirates easily.

I own 4 - The Vulture ( re: bellow ) the Savage Wake ( CZ Corvette ) the Cutter ( Dark Wake ) and an Anaconda ( Troubled Wake )

The Vulture has its engineered to Long Range, the Savage Wake, Cutter and Anaconda have theirs Engineered to Fast Scan.

To be honest the K.W.S. is a license to print money IMHO


@Commander KW_JOSEY -o7-

Would that be in Colonia ? I have read a little about the OoM and MCRN, but only have a basic passing knowledge.


New things:

After smashing countless Pirates in Pikum, I dedcided to take the scrap and build a little side project - all from reclaimed Pirate Hardware, I can deffinately attest that lots of Pirate Pilots where harmed and lost their lives in the making of this -


#> Core Dynamics : Vluture - "Dead Meat" - Ship Configuration


Quite the monster - teetering at 99.6% of its maximum power when HP's deployed

I pledged allegiance to Aisling Duval, a leading member of the Imperial Empire who is against the practice of Imperial Slavery, she has founded a charity named Stop Slavery Stupid - I have been purchasing Imperial Slaves and Lethal Weapons in Empire space smuggling them into Federal Space killing some Empire Ships that I cannot escape from while commanding a Federal Corvette. Oxymoron??

I don't know overly why, but this pleases me =)
