Hello,
Currently still running Haz Res's and Compromised Nav Beacons. 5% more to go. :)

As an aside, I have seen a number of posts stating this both here and in the other forums, but why in the current state of the game are CMDRs proud of taking on an NPC Python and winning (sometimes without loosing a shield ring.) Pre nerf Python I can understand. But in its current state it's not a great combat ship. Now if people posted that they took out an FAS without loosing a shield ring, that is something to say.
Disclaimer: I am a Python pilot first and foremost although I do have and fly other ships.

Have fun, fly safe. o7

Part of my piece by piece upgrades for this year. Next is case and PSU. Then video and SSD (although which order is in question) which will have me where I want to be until I see a reason that my quad core I5 is not cutting it anymore.


What kind of an I5 btw, since I am considering a desktop with a 6500 as a processor?

They always seem to wait till you think you are safe, and will make it to the drop out point. Oh well, only another 5 runs to make that back..

Hello,
I personally think NPCs should not be equipped with rail guns. As it is they never seem to miss with fixed weapons and with the rail gun they don't even seem to have the charge up time before firing. Or they seem to be able to charge up their weapons on a turn and fire just as they are facing you.

On topic. Still bounty hunting to increase combat ranking. 10% more to go.

Have fun, fly safe. o7

Edit: Found out from Royal Mail website that my ED Tracker arrived in my country this morning and is waiting to be delivered. :)


:shock: ED TRACKER...? Did someone mention ED Tracker??... ;) A marvellous thing, you will have endless fun using it.. :D

Err, Falc...you didn't use that credit card that we "borrowed" to buy the drinks with at Raff's ..did you? :oops:
As a tribute to Tor, my CMDR has small feet too! o7 Dawg

True on the FAS, 2 times I faced them with a win but nearly died once and was hurting on the other flying my Vulture.
on the Python the key in my limited experience it is the NPC's are lame sometimes.
then you get that random sit and spin bug :D now that is killer for nearly any NPC ship, when the spin bug is fixed the game will change, I don't think the ship is the issue at all, no real player would let someone shoot them over and over doing nothing, so I do specify NPC.
If I meet a live player that is after me in a Python in my current ships and skill set :shock: ya most likely I would run away if I could.

Just doing final checks before I embark on my first expedition. Destination is The Horsehead Nebula. A crew of Astra, Verity, KSAI, and Vasco will keep me company in our trusty cobra.

How we get there, we don't know. How we get there, we don't care. All we know, is that we are on our way.
Well in -12 hours we are.

I'm also considering attempting to make a recording of my journey with added interactions from the voice packs but we'll see.

@johnLuke & Old_Sarg: thank you CMDRs! Qustion is what to do next :)

But question is "what to do next" ...

Yesterday i bought military armour on my corvette and moved her near HES in XIHE. So no this pretty "Beast" is fully A rated (rebuy cost is 31 mcr) and ready to arrange peace everywhere in neighborhood.

Also my military Python is ready to start in CUBEO direction, to improve my empire rank. Question is are there only "air" missions, because i have Horizons but my PC HW support only DX10 :(, and i am unable to land on planets ... waiting for upgrade. So question is if to beat a travel to only parking in Cubeo.

Maybee i earn some extra money for 2-3 rebuys of corvette for sure. I tried Beast yesterday in HES and i dont think she will need it in PvE - only one ring of shields were down :) But waiting for update where NPC´s skill should be improve!

I also can buy next ASP and start to explore, but without planetary landing is not exciting for me.

See you in space CMDRs!

Interdicting Fed/Kumo ships in the Kappa system. This is my first PP undermining experience and I must say it's a welcome break from ferrying fortification material from Cubeo to the various AD control centers. Now I just have to find a wing of commanders to rack up those merits and make my next PP cycle week less of a grind :)
