Also wondering why the universe is so utterly devoid of players, be it in open play or in the Mobius group. I've yet to see a single player. I realize it's a huge universe but I'm not more than 150 LY from my startin system, hanging in Wolf 363 at the moment.

Is there some sort of trick to running into people? I'd like to try my hand at some CZs but I get wrecked so damned fast (some times I even get what appears to be one-shotted) that I've quickly learned to avoid them, even though they look like they'd be fun.

So, I'm working and looking for players to play with, haha.


Where are you flying?

Feel free to Friend me in game.

Outside of super busy systems like cg's or maybe one of the more popular engineers you probably wont find people.

Another thing it depends quite a bit on your personal connection. The game will only try connect you if there are players close to you as in regards to internet close not just in game close.
If you have a poor connection with high latency the game probably won't connect you to another even if they are running around the same area.

Also people on a friends list get prioritised when connecting.
Wing members should be forced in but wings hardly at all this now so it is kind of moot.
So a line of communication outside of game is pretty crucial so check the discord/ts and see if you find anyone.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

I'm working the bounty hunting CG at LFT 133. :evil: It's only about 100ky from Azrael, so it's a quick trip in your favorite combat ship.

RES Locations:
LFT 133 5 - 1xLow Res
LFT 133 2 - 1xHigh Res, 1xHaz Res
LFT 133 3 - 1xHaz Res

The RES at #2 is rocky, while the RES at #3 is ice rings (my preferred hunting ground)

After about an hour long session, I'm in the top 10% with $2.2m.

If anyone wants to wing up for the CG, hit me up here or in-game.

Here's a really short clip of a Quick Close Up Clipper Kill in the Cold. Watch out for the Ice! :shock:

Re: Finding Polymer Capacitors

Allegedly they are found in the debris fields of authority ships in only Anarchy systems. Any other tips?

This is what I saw in Inara, I hope that the last part helps.

Hello,
Decided to sell my mining Asp, Lady Giselle for a mining Imperial Clipper, Selene. Lady Giselle was fun for awhile but not so efficient when it came to mining. Great view though.
Now to get Enhanced Low Power Shields for Lady Jayne (my Python) and Lady Krystin (my Cutter.)

Also got an iCourier for some fun, fast pew pew in CZs. And, my God, I never knew AspEx was so manouverable. Those things can do wonders. FA off, spin turns while snaking. Also met a Cobra with SCBs, Chaff and Beams+Rails that can fire together and didn't melt the ship. Wish I had taken videos of my fights.

Have fun, fly safe. o7

Mining Clipper? Interesting. Never flown one, have not liked the looks too much. But as I'm trying really hard to come up with something to do, I might just do the same. My mining ship has been Cobra IV for those short trips I've taken here and there.
Time for coriolis website then :)

Yup. It's not too bad. She's got enough slots so that I can equip 2xC3 collector limpet controller, fuel scoop and a prospector limpet controller, and still have 128t of Cargo space.

Irritated.

I am going to see Farseer for one last time in the Conda then it's dumping time...

Anyone want any of it (within the hour) in game PM me.

I was in the same position as you carrying excessive quantities of engineers stuff. So much so I couldn't use several of my ships. It was quite liberating to get rid of it all and start again just with the items needed for level 5 upgrades. A lot of the commodities I just went and bought instead of trying to farm them.
