the module thingy seems to work.
Just had the Mamba go to 28 percent hull with nothing breaking.

just put a 2D module protection on + 4A life support now i have 20 min instead of 4 and i have found where to make the refills.

i had heard you could synthesize the life support but could not find it.

Yea pretty sure that mission is a write off, remember the mission text about being unique to the mission…
I had it while doing 2 missions at once that was a big fine.

i dont know what it is with me and canopy being blow up all the time no matter what ship i am in.
Just happened again in the Mamba, just disengage and ran to station, but of course every single time this happens i get the classic “i am after what is in your cargo” and some daft little ship try and intercept me when my cargo is empty. my ship blew up just as my landing gear deployed and ship basically exploding into the pad lol

thats why i have point defences on my ships when mining :)

just took a courier mission without paying attention, turns out it was to Colonia. Cant even plot a route there lol

think i applied to join the squadron..

Don’t eve know what a Guardian site is :) but like the sound of it, what was the squadron setup name again?

I much prefer the squirrels over all the cats roaming wild, now there is an invasive species that should be on the list of pests you can shoot year round.

I’m on a killing spree in the Mamba have taken some kill lots of pirates mission to get the last bit of the way to Rear admiral, but think I will go gather materials so I can engineer more stuff before buying the Corvette

i know if i played in Open i would lose interest quite quickly, i just cant handle people who are only out to ruin other peoples enjoyment of game.

new record 37.95% LTD :)

I carry guns, medium beam lasers, small burst lasers and large multi canons all turrets and I don’t fancy trying to aim in this lol I have killed Anacondas when doing missions in it when I just used my mining outfit. But there seems to be a big difference in how well the NPCs are fitted. Last night a fed gunship attacked while running missions and it got blown up in 2 passes.

Yea I am thinking of downgrading the cargo on my T10 if I can power the big size 8 shield instead.

all went well, an Anaconda tried to intercept me when i arrived at destination system, decided not worth trying to fight if i could avoid so i evaded him and sold all my diamonds at 1030 a piece.

hope my luck holds now that im setting off to sell 6 jumps away with 233 in the hold :)

on the Diamonds again, think i want 2billion in the bank before i buy a Corvette.
Just found a 37.5% LTD roid, that is the highest i have come across.
how high do they go anyone know?

Did anyone see Gove being worried that the EU were not doing enough to protect Brits abroad?

As a Dane living in the UK I wanted to punch the screen when I read that.

80% away from Rear Admiral.
Been running missions in ceos to the system next door with 250 cargo I can sometimes get 3 cargo missions plus data couriers in one go.

Thought you ended up at nearest station if ship goes boom

cheers
i got the FSD range pinned now, well at lvl4 but with my Diamondback Explorer its never far away.
just got Post Captain rank, when i got the Rear Admiral i think i better go get my Elite in exploration sorted.

i know its just one of the random “luck” happenings when you lose your canopy like this, i was at 99% hull when the canopy shattered, if i had had a cruise assist i would have made it i think as i overshot first time, then got intercepted a third time when really really close to station.
its why i like to keep a big surplus of credits :)

ohh and this was Python, again something which should have been easily killed with my firepower and the the 3 bloody useless security service ships that turned up instantly :)

this game really do like to throw curve balls at you, the Type 10 with its massive shield and hull seems fragile as ****.
Just had my canopy blown to pieces, managed to jump away but trying to navigate to station when you cant see the middle of your screen is not easy, especially not as they just jump right after you and itnercept you, i got intercepted 3 times and was 1 ls from station when i ran out of oxygene lol

where do you see the number? not sure if i am giving you the right numbers :)

never taken a mining mission to then go out and mine the stuff, but completely more by just checking to see if any missions matching what i happened to have just brought back, before i perfected the LTD mining i would keep some random stuff.

421? not engineered it yet.

have just taken out 2 Anacondas in my T10 running missions and i just let them intercept me, i got enough shield and hull that i can take them out with turret, with the help of the security forces that arrives quite quickly.

Good salvage just now from those 2 ships.

you are right, need to start picking up the debris.
Time to get the Type-10 out looking for some bounties, then the drones can do the picking up for me.

its the chemical manipulator i am missing, but i havent done anything to find them really :)

Thanks Matt

Off to Elvira now to get get long range sorted, if i can find the materials.

this mornings mining trip went better, 178 LTDs sold at just over 1 mil each and no pirates in sight on whole trip.

how does pinning blueprints work?
and do you have to grind through all the level of a mod every time you engineer a new module?

Now that was crap.
1 jump out to go sell the 225LTD i just mined in my Type-10 Defender, get jumpoed by a Fed Gunship, fine i can kill that easily.
He is at 30% when he take out my powerplant and i can do nothing but just sit there and wait for him to blow me up.

i dont feel sorry for leaving limpets behind they are all retards, just some of them manage to collect a few things before they suicide on the side of your ship.
They dont deserve any pitty.
Just been intercepted 3 times on the same little trip, its great in the Type 10 where you can easily tank until the police arrive to help you. good amount of salvage from 2 pythons and an Anaconda.

now a Lt Commander, edging closer to that Corvette.

i got my materials from just mining and salvaging the wrecks of ships i have blown up + Scanning wakes outside a station + mission rewards.
I used a material trader to swap Iron for Arsenic for the FSD stuff

Almost got the Typ-10’s FSD engineered for max range, already giving me much more station where its now possible to get to without a silly amount of Jumps. Next up the shield.
Could get to the over 1 million price in just 7 jumps and not at the max engineered level yet :)

been busy making knives again.
dont know what i would do without the garden and the workshop at the moment.
