Try mining the great appleroid belt of Appleseed Beta II?

I've actually gone back to Burst Lasers for the most part, and then had them Level 1 engineered efficient -- a cost of 5-10% reduction in rate of fire for a 40-50% reduction in heat. I then added a Level 3 engineered Charge Distributor -- a cost of 5-10% reduction in capacity for a 16-21% increase in charge rate.

One of these days may have to make my way to an Engineer so far it has not been appealing nor has Planet Landings only did a few no driving on one yet. Things to do I guess. Medium Beam Turrets on a Python should work well taking down fast flying Eagles.

I purposely refuse to grind for the Engineers. I just pin a few blueprints, and when the stars -- commodities -- align, I drop by to see what I can do.

I had my Anaconda with a Class 4 Gimballed Beam and a Class 2 Turreted Beam, with Class 3 Turreted Burst Lasers, and the Beams ended up sucking up way too much power, distributor and thermal, so only the Bursts would fire. So now I've gone back to a Class 4 Gimballed Multi-Cannon, with all Class 2 and 3 Turreted Burst Lasers. And I've made all the Burst Lasers Level 1 engineered efficient, which virtually halves the thermals, while reducing the rate of fire slightly. With the upgraded, Level 3 Charge Rate-focused Distributor, I hope it I can keep them fed, even with just as little as 2 or even 1 pips to the Weapons.

That way I can keep my Shields max'd to 4 pips.

I'm now going to engineer my Shield Boosters and Shields to Level 3+. That's my next move.

How the frak is it August already? I mean, really. Where has this year gone?> 5,100LY to Khun.

I am totally flying back out to my golden pathway in my Asp or Exploraconda. So many amazing systems I've marked.

1800 LYs left back to the bubble. I'm starting to be happy about systems with nothing in it worth to scan. Seems to be the beginning of space madness.

1193ly from start and calling it a night.
Even with 50ly jump range, scanning everything takes a long time.
Run into some unexplored water worlds and ammonia worlds. Hope the thargoids will not attack my Asp.....

4440LY to Khun. Lazy jumping takes ages, but my scan data is going to be stuffed for pages.

Still in "all haste" mode, 3.1 kly to go until I reach Jaques with the second cutter load. Not taking the scenic convoy route has sped things up.
