Check if you're near any Compromised Navigational Beacons - those are swarming with elite sideys and eagles. ^.^

That's exactly what I'm doing. :D I'm working the CNB at Aerial.


Ahhhhh, stupid me, I should've read your post on the previous page. > . <

Sold my Vulture (awesome RES hunter) and got myself a FDL. I never had one, I like the way it looks so I decided to give it a try. So far it feels great, handles very good and I just need to find a good replacement for the PAC in that huge slot...

Thanks for the wing today, Al! :D I hope you get your sound issue worked out soon.

It was also fun to have RobFM81 and Cometborne in there with us for a bit, before Bonsaipanda joined in.

Not sure what happened to Rob and Cometborne, but if you guys want to give it another run, Al and I will be in the CNB at Aerial a fair amount this weekend. :evil:

LOL... no worries, Panda. It happens to all of us. :P :lol: It was great winging with you and Al this morning! I am 3% closer to Elite now, thanks to you guys. :) Only 9% to go.

I love the FDL. Fast, sleek, deadly, and fun to fly! :D I think that once the new huge weapons come out, the FDL will be a powerhouse. I can see a huge pulse laser or multi-cannon being very effective on it.

I'll be back in the CNB at Aerial later today, around 9PM BST (1 PM PDT-USA), and tomorrow around 10-11AM BST if anyone wants to wing up to kill deadly and elite ships to work on your combat rank and make a few credits along the way.

What happened to me is that I got a harsh lesson that I am under-clued for serious CNB action, my current build needs work, and that going into a CNB while carrying cargo for two different OoM missions and ten escape pods looking for OoM SAR missions is not a good idea. So I did the "Brave Sir Robin" thing and high-waked out of there before getting a free visit to the insurance screen.

In consolation, I took a SAR mission from the next planetary outpost where I landed and got a POI that went into "absolutely ridiculous" on the player friendliness scale. I spent about an hour in there, finding one crash site, burnt out SRV, crashed beacon, or nice rock after the other. After the SAR mission failed and I finally took off again, the POI was still active, so there would have been even more stuff to find. Even so, I now haul 24 escape pods with me, so it is probably time to land at Searle Port and settle down for some serious game mode grinding until I have gotten 24 SAR missions for the OoM.

Ah.... that makes sense. The pirates at CNB's, just like RES, love to see things in your cargo hold. Glad you got out in one piece. Maybe we can pew pew together another time.

Again? :roll: Itchy trigger finger, Al? I'll put Kunti on my list of CNB's and plan to meet you there later today.

I kept my Cobra III, I just can't sell a ship I enjoy this much.
I have a Vulture for any pew pew action fix I have and it is a killer and if you are good at power management a butt kicker extraordinaire :evil:

I just got an ASP explorer and found out I had a gold paint job in my hanger! :D

looks sweet 8-)

Oh snap! Does that every look sweet!

I cannot remember, but who got those? It wasn't the original Kickstarter, but something else IIRC.

Hopped in my Vulture for the first time in 4, maybe 5, months. Hit the thrusters and ballooned up and nearly crashed inside the station. Something's changed because when I deployed hardpoints at the HIRES, half my modules shut down. While I was trying sort that out, an Anaconda rammed me as he was scanning me. I thought they fixed that. Oh well, cleared the RES w/o taking a shot. Now I'm going to experiment again with fixed weapons, but the server may have gone down.
It's time to give this another go.
