Just about to log in and spend the evening searching for PO in Wonneriti.

Add/Message me in game if you want to do some. Been very successful here for me and the A-Team.

If you want to do multirole and don't want to do the rank grind then the Anaconda is for you but if you already have the rank or want to get the rank, go for the cutter.
In my case I chose to go with combat so I got the corvette but once the engineers came out my only objective was to increase the jump range... the grind started and after a long time and with a LVL5 FSD upgrade, The corvette was able to do 20 LY with a heavy combat loadout ( Hull packages mostly ). After that I tried a multirole setup and it gave me 520 tons ( 584 without the Fuel Scoop) with a range of 16.8 LY fully loaded which for a Corvette is not bad at all.

And, about the dc?


I have never used the dc in the corvette. I find it a lot easier to fly and dock than the anaconda. Can't say about the cutter but from what I have read, the corvette is also a lot easier to dock than the cutter.

Docking the Cutter manually isn't terribly hard, as long as you aren't expecting to slide in at full throttle. The docking computer is especially buggy on the Cutter as well, so do yourself a favor, save an internal slot for something else, and docking manually.

Well, today my computer decided to freeze/crash three times in about 30 minutes - first problems since 2.1 dropped. :(

But one of those was in Firefox, on the board, about 1 minute after booting, so it doesn't appear to be the game. :cry:
It's time to give this another go.

The DC is currently bugged. I normally use them on my Vette and Cutter, but have them turned off until FD releases a fix.

DC? We had loads of DCs yesterday in FuelRats ... oobs, that was Disconnects, sorry, all these abbreviations :D

I decided to switch to mining, and I am definitely no miner -- something I didn't do since my early days in 2014, I still have my Freewinder stuffed with a rusting mining laser somewhere. My SRV didn't manage to get any Arsenic even at the recommended planets; yet boy, the view is fantastic from down there!
I am really no miner yet those bloody engineers "force" me to (you know, a Fuel Rat wants to jump as far as possible). I already hate the material dynamics by heart ... So I hope to get this Arsenic really fast, and then that strange chemical thingy of which I have no clue where to find it.
And then back to Ratting!

Hello,
Arsenic can be a pain. But I've accidentally come across it while driving on a planet, trying to get away from a settlement, then deciding to shoot a rock while waiting for my ship.
Good luck with the chemical Manipulators though. They are supposed to be common I think. But my only luck with them is to spend a couple of hours at a Nav beacon shooting up trade ships. Preferably in an Anarchy system.

Had something weird happen to me last night. Intradicted twice in my Cutter. Once by an Elite Conda, and the other by an Elite FDL. By the time either popped into the instance my FSD had nearly completed it's cool down and I was already boosting away both times. The Cutter easily out ran the Conda. The FDL kept on my ass. Both times neither one shot at me. And both times I Low waked out. The Conda followed me to the station and managed to defeat security. It was still there after I undocked from the station. Through out the encounter it never opened fire on me.

Have fun, fly safe. o7

Last night I dropped into a low CZ in the Cutter, looking for grid resistors.
Interdicted by pirates after my cargo, both on the way there, and back. Coming out of the CZ was an instant spawn of a pirate after my big haul.
What did surprise me was that there were combat T9s (have not seen that for a long while), which were great for stocking up on some of the 'trade ship' mats, and all in Deciat, the home system of Felicity.

I will have to remember collector limpets next time, not usual outfitting for a CZ.

I've been milking Sothis past few days. Almost done now and when finished added 350mil to my assets.

Then I'll go target practice for a bit. Anyone in need of free engineers cargo (commodities) should follow my wake. Just give a holla on Discord Mobius and I'll be happy to let you scoop some. If I'm carrying that is.

Often times I ditch it. Need the cargo space for them juicy long hauls.
