Sounds like a good opportunity to try a commander's private group for an uninterrupted wing. ;)

I'll probably be doing assault runs next weekend in the mornings (9:00-10:00 GMT) if you want to try winging up for it.


I may, though I don't know how well that will work with my usual route of cycling game modes to refresh the board and stack missions at all 3 outposts on the planet. May have to tone that down to wing up. May get past viscount tonight because of it.

Just did a distress call, the final wave was dangerous conda and three vultures, had to use four cells but managed to kill them all without losing shields.

Learned the hard way that overloading a Viper3 with a FSD interdiction module & a frame shift scanner is a very bad idea. Got blown up by a Federal ship raiding the Azrael system as my entire ship shutdown due to power demand overload. The rest of my session went better as my patrol of Azrael netted me one kill (a wanted Sidewinder) and familiarity with the hypercruise patrol process itself.

Took a couple of missions after to recoup my rebuy and then some. Have a B3 class FSD now so my jump range isn't so laughable. Also fitted a C2 Fuel scoop so range is no longer a problem - something I learned with the Sidey :)

On my way to way point 2 on the Distant Worlds journey...
Lagging a bit behind but I should be back with the peloton by the time we reach way point 3 this weekend.

You can prioritise modules on the right hand panel so you can run power at say 110% but you set some you dont need when you deploy weapons. Such as your FSD drive, cargo hatch, interdictor and such. (not used a wake scanner so not sure if used in supercruise or normal space).

If you check this out you will see how weapons are prioritised. http://coriolis.io/outfit/viper/03A3D3A ... BhrSwJnSg=

Sorry if im teaching you to suck eggs. :)

Depending on your definition of local, Cubeo.

Cubeo mate. Ive been doing them. :) You need to go to the penal colony on one of the planets and all the missions are aimed at metcalf base also on the same planet. :)

Thanks for the tip ! I think I neglected to prioritize the interdictor and wake scanner modules thinking their power consumption was negligible. A very rookie mistake which made me twice as careful after.

And since my Viper3 needs a test run, I think I'll take it to Federation space next. Would be very discourteous of me not to pay them a visit after all the Fed interdictions I've been through :)
