Landed my Asp outside the security perimeter and went in with the SRV. After a few minutes SRV was blown to pieces.
Got me a new buggy in port and decided to change strategy, now I first wanted to blow up the turrets using my Asps beam lasers.
Asp got blown to pieces quickly.
Sulking the rest of the evening and took a stupid delivery mission to feel useful again.

I need to find out how to do it. Maybe I need a wing :)


Here's a video that shows a very good way to do ground assault missions. :evil:

I didn't want to build a Fed ship for it, and I thought it may be a bit more than is needed, so I refitted my Asp. This configuration is working quite well for me for ground assault missions. :D

Not sure how to link without showing the full address, sorry. :D


I use two setups:

Mission FDL
RES FDL

To put the text as the linkable part:
[ url = link_here ]orangetext_here[ /url ]
Take the spaces out the url parts for it to actually work :)

Back at Sagittarius A* - my second trip here.

I was in the neighborhood, so I might as well stop by to take some shots :)

It looks like it is keeping its eyes on me:

Gonna do huge plasma when funds allow. Then get an asp for surface missions.

The reason I picked the cannon is that it doesn't drain my capacitor. On my first group I have all the lasers with the warrant scanner, on the second group I use the two pulse lasers on trigger one and the cannon on trigger two.
I use the first group to take down shields and getting into a good firing position. Group two I use to take down bigger ships and to let the capacitor recharge.

How good is that cannon? I use 2 class 2 plasmas and they look cool and do good damage

It's lovely, it only takes 2 to 3 shots to complete take out the power plant. It's a bit annoying to lift the nose up to shoot the bottom gun, but you get used to it. The combination of the two plasmas is awesome, I had that for a long time and it does look epic.

Considered 4 plasma and one cannon but would run out of ammo a lot

Think it might be 2 beams and 3 cannons
