I'm building my Cobra with these specs:

Upgraded Power Distributor
Upgraded Power Core
2 fixed Rail guns (primary) - Class D
2 gimballed Multicannons (secondary) - Class D
1 Point Defence Turret
Heat sink Launcher
Shield Bank

CE Bootis offer most of these upgrades, don't know how much it will cost :)


And I hope a whacking great power unit to power them, and a damn good FSD so you can jump more than 1.3ly. Oh, and uprated thrusters and good power management...and...and...:-)

I know, it'll be a credits sinkhole :) With a wipe for the incoming Beta3 (likely) i can't aim to an Anaconda :)

But, but I want things presented to me on a plate. I spend all day on a PC, I don't want to have to bloody right-click when reading elitepve.com in my underwear.

I reduced my pics to 800x600 and they still were too big to fit in a post. Sod making 'em smaller! :P

Anyway, thanks to Cmdr Mad Mags, I lost no less than two (count 'em - 2) Cobras yesterday evening.

Yes, Sir Mags, I am lumping the whole blame on yourself - knowing I was a combat virgin sprog and sending me off (okay, enticing me with stories of untold riches... :P ) to do dirty dogfights with the space raiders of Rakapila!

After having a well-kitted out Cobra III, with 100,000cr in the bank, I now have a ....

Well kitted out Cobra III with 400cr in the bank, in debt to loan sharks and a 10,000cr bounty on my head!

Cheers, Pal!

Mind you - I did get my first Elite D kill :D though I didn't get the paltry 300cr bounty for it :cry:

Now hang on a minute there. I said target and kill WANTED targets only. It's not my fault you got a blood lust and attacked a clean player is it?

Congrats on popping your kill cherry as well though.

Oh and if you shoot me, supposedly by accident, again...for a prolonged period of time before realising. I will break the no PVP rule. ;)

The file size doesn't depend only on the image size, but also on its format. So if you're trying to upload a png and the forum complains that it's too big, try to convert it to jpg first (they're much more compressed).

I think he is not talking about the filesize, but the pics not showing in their total width. On the official forums if you include a very large picture the whole forum layout is destroyed, which I don't like in particular. They have spoiler tags to hide those pictures on load, still your broweser is loading the whole picture in the background, so if you're reading from a mobile device for example, it can be quite annoying and when you open the tag, the screen is blown up again :o . That is why I would prefer the pics embedded not being larger than 640px and having a link to the big picture.
We could allow for larger pics being displayed inline, but that would just look awful. I prefer the layout stays put.
As Mobius said, we might expand the site greatly in the future, not just limiting it to a phpBB forum. In that case there are quite a few solutions we could consider for allowing uploading giant screenshots, with automated preview and popup for total views. Until then, right click is the way to go ;)

Oh, right. Thanks for the clarification, Wolf.
