As for training missions I suspect they aren't fully representative.

I got 90 fps stable with the vive in the undock training mission. But whenever I fired the game proper, even in solo I get pushed down to 45.

Granted I only have a 4ghz (oc from 3.2ghz) i5 and a 980ti.

I suspect this is the NPC AI routine that isn't applied in the docking training mission or something.
But then again the amount of, maybe and what ifs that still surround vr and ED could stun a horse.

So I am doing the Colonia CG, waiting outside the slot in my cutter for another to leave then....

1. A pirate npc conda decides to attack me, I boost away and the npc jumps away.
2. I go back to the station and the npc jumps back and attacks again, I get into the station.
3. My two wingmates outside tell me the npc is camping there waiting for me to leave (I took hits inside the station).
4. I leave and it attacks, we all 3 attack the conda and kill it.
5. Station opens fire on 2 wingmates and kills them both (cutter/python).

AT NO TIME DID THE STATION ATTACK THE CONDA, EVEN WHEN IT WAS SHOOTING AT ME INSIDE THE STATION!!!!!

Re: Shield breaker mines, but also hitting myself ...

I also crafted some Level 4 Mine Racks for both my 2x Class 1 and my 1x Class 2, improving my quantity significantly. I also rolled a Shield Breaker quirk for my Class 2, which is instigating a troublesome scenario.

I have to roll my Anaconda to throw off my Class 2 mine. If I time it wrong, I hit myself. I didn't mind it as much when it was just a normal mine, and I'd fail to roll perfectly in 1 or 2 cases, of kicking out 20-30. But now, it's hurting my Shield Generator when I do.

In one case, my Shield Generator only had 8%. Yikes! I mean, I'm at 2 full rings, and a partial 3rd, but I hit myself twice, and I was down to 8% or so. In another case of combat (after repairing), it was 25% after a pair hit.

It's almost not worth the quirk. Just cannot seem to have any Class 2 mine launcher on the Anaconda.

After managing to always get 1-2 mines to hit myself, and damage my Shield Generator anywhere from 79% health down to that prior 11%, I finally dropped my Class 2 Mine Launcher with/Level 3 Racks + Shield Breaker quirk. It just wasn't worth it.

Now I have to hope I get the quirk again on my remaining, two (2) Class 1 Mine Launchers. I really love that quirk. All it took was 3-5 mines to guarantee the enemy wouldn't be able to bring his shields back up.

But with my own shields approaching almost 2,000MJ, it's not worth accidentally bringing my own down.

Jumping back towards the bubble from the Traikaae Nebula. Only 3600 or so LY to go.

Did my last Sothis run for a while last night. I think I am done with it unless I need some quick cash. It was utterly boring and was just a step above exploring in the fact that you make a shit tonne more credits doing this.

To quote my own post, is a thing.

Well CNBs have changed a bit since I last did one (maybe four months).
Flying the Vette (The bad ship 'Irritant') I can just about cover one of the new Elite Condas or a couple of concurrent groups of assorted four pirates.

Last evening flying into a well populated CNB went slightly sideways.
Seven to nine ships (mainly Elite when I had a chance to scan) jump to attack which left the Irritant a little too thin to spread around.

So...

Any words of wisdom? I will up the thrusters to five but apart from that?

(I am running G5 HMulti, Cells and Boosters are upgraded Beams are but not too high (who does beams to five BTW?)).

Many thanks

Al

Just another bug I suppose. Problem is, the list of bugs is not getting any shorter and they add new ones with each version. Seeing posts like this just solidifies my decision to turn to exploration exclusively, although I am not completely safe from bugs even doing that, heard of others that tried to land on a planet and they crashed for no reason etc etc.
