What are you doing (ingame) now?

[pargyrak]

Passed by Azarel and we are down to 42% Friday we were at 64% and Saturday at 49%.

There were no missions available so I guess someone in the group is taking all the missions and failing them

[Xebeth]

Lost the Python . First loss since 2.0 dropped.

Got pulled out SC literally straight after arriving at the star, didn't even have time to fight the interdiction, couldn't boost without over heating, fire weapons over heat.

The python that interdicted me however seemed to have no problems using beams and PAs, I want his magically supper cooled ship, almost got him but ended up just frying myself.

Is that something to do with the OOM station?


Anywho, 11,603LY to Khun, or Shinrarta Dezhra, whichever I end up going to. Not trying to rush myself back. Scanning any water-worlds and class A's I see along the way.

You would think it wouldn't be so much to ask.

That the npc's have to deal with heat the same way we do. And not have infinite ammo, chaff and scb's.


I was being hounded by anow elite dropship yesterday as I pull into deciat with my python .
He was being slow so I dropped off at Garay terminal to set a bit of a trap for him (my python is more trade fit than combat fit).

Well even if I had 6 internal sec ships pounding him AND THE STATION he was able to recharge shields from barely none to three full rings and stay at full shields until his cell bank had to reload.

How would I deal with that solo in my python when they can TANK STATIONS !

Don't get me started on the chaff issue, I once went to Disney Land (Paris) for New Years, and that had less fireworks than some of the NPCs I've seen.

Well, I just had a good battle with a Deadly Python, my first since 2.1.05 dropped. It seems they have reduced the BS, because he had to give up against me at 31% hull, and finally high waked out at 11% hull. He used some SCBs, but he couldn't last. NPCs seemed to be bound by the same rules now. Much better than 2.1.03-2.1.04, let alone 2.1-2.1.02 where they were spamming them endlessly.

13.6k LY to Khun. Blasted Benedryl made my progress almost non-existent yesterday..

Claritin is non-drousy, works far better for me.
Unfortunately, since hitting my 30s, my allergies will fill up my middle ear, so neither Benedryl nor Claritin works.
Only Zrytec does the job, ideally a full pill, which makes me drowsy, although a half-pill is almost as good when I cannot get a full 6+ hours sleep.

Drowsy, Non-Drowsy, it's all the same to me. It's the way the active ingredient hits me, regardless. Usually a daily dose of Flonase does the trip.. but sudden-onset allergy attacks require the sleep-inducing allergy tabs. No way to get around it, just have to be prepared to be useless for a day or two.

Anywho, 11,603LY to Khun, or Shinrarta Dezhra, whichever I end up going to. Not trying to rush myself back. Scanning any water-worlds and class A's I see along the way.

3300 LYs left ... you are faster than me. But I scan almost everything I see on the path the galaxy map calculated for me. Found some nice places for retirement ... or if the Thargoids are wiping out the bubble.

I quit for today. Exploring is quite exhausting.

[thebs]

But I want to get a good 2M exploration data to unlock Farseeker Level 5. Right now I'm Level 3 and 62% towards Level 4.

2 million will most likely not be enough for level 5. I had to spend about 3 million to get Martuuk from level 3/9% to level 4/2%, and another 12 million to get to level 5.

Okay, thanx for the info. Some people were talking only 5M total to get to Level 5. I guess that is not accurate.
I'm at Level 3 @ 62% to Level 4 right now. I only went out 500ly, and will spend a few days doing that, to get 2M+. Then I'll return and see where I'm at, likely not far into Level 4 based your info.

So, did some exploring over 1,100ly below the galactic plane. I used a pair of +50% FSD injections, my first time ever trying it, to get over 46 and 43ly to reach some HD xxxx systems. I was the first one there in each. I came back with 3.2Mcr in exploration data.

So, before I was Level 3 @ 62%, and turned in that 3.2Mcr exploration data. That kicked it up to Level 4 @ 48%. So it doesn't seem far fetched that 5Mcr would get you close to Level 5.

I'm also thinking of doing some Level 3 crafting with my Thrusters, now that I have A-spec (even if -1 size), and trying to get more of a kick from that too.

I then did a pair of Level 3 Thruster Clean Drive modifications, and got a decent one. That got it to Level 4 @ 62%. After that I did all sorts of Level 1 mods, using everything from Nickel and Sulfur to various Wakes to Worn Shield Emitters. After about 100 rolls, got to Level 5.

I already had a +22% modification from Level 5, not much below the maximum of 25%. I know they increased the maximum for Level 5 FSD from 44% to 50% with 2.1.05. My first roll got me to +36%, but the negatives were really hard. I applied it anyway, just in case my next roll wasn't good. And then ... I not only got much better (less negative) rolls on most everything, but ...

It got very closed to +50%, and then it kicked it ... off-the-scale! Literally!

And this is a fairly loaded Anaconda too! I'm sure if I had a simple, empty cargo configuration, it would go up a few more LYs. I gotta see what this does with 452t of cargo.
