Statutory Ape posted:what would the benefit of a t10 be over an anaconda? i'm looking @ both and kinda dont know whats going on. i have a T9 right now that i just use as a naked cargo hauler so i cant imagine either ship is any shittier when it comes to maneuvering (especially w D rated thrusters on it) T10 is essentially an upgunned, more heavily armored T9 with upgraded power and drive systems - it's still a giant pig to fly but it's not as actively painful as the T9 is. As for the T10 vs Anaconda, first off, the T10 is a hull tanker, Conda a shield tanker. This is relevant versus Thargoids because many of their weapons go right through your shields, and the T10 was touted as an anti-thargoid ship. The 'Conda is more maneuverable and has that giant underchin class-4 mount - theoretically it's a giant doomsday gunship that fights to keep the enemy in its front arc, where most of its weapons can hit the enemy. The T10 is slwoer and more clumsy, but the hardpoint geometry is wider and aside from the two C1 mounts on the chin, every other hardpoint is in a spot with a wide 360 degree hemisphere of a fire arc - perfect for a 'flying fortress' style turret layout. Internals-wise, the T10 still has a single free C8 internal bay which means it can haul a giant fucklot of stuff (256 tons, to be exact) and still devote the rest of those slots to kicking rear end and taking names. It's also 20M cheaper as an initial purchase and much cheaper to upgrade, thanks to many of the core systems being smaller than the Conda's.

The cool thing to do in a Keelback seems to be to launch in a fighter and do your moving/fighting in that. You give up a 5-size slot though.

Hexenritter posted:That's actually making me consider buying one to go along with my discolaserconda The T10 makes for a great high-end utility ship. Sure, it's clumsy as hell, but the hull is super tough, it can fit a wide variety of internal loadouts from pure cargo to mining to general utility - as many drone controllers as you can fit on it it sort of feels to me it was intended as a 'wing healer' with decon/fuel transfer/hull repair limpet controllers - and while it's big as all hell, the way the hardpoints are laid out there's very few angles you can approach it from without being in the fire arc of at least four turrets. Even the big dumbass spoiler has a purpose, two of the utility moutns are up there so they have a great arc of fire for point defense.

Dick Trauma posted:Robigo is 500+ lys away from where I am now (Allechs) and will take like 50 jumps with my maximum of 12.96 ly range. So I think I'm going to have to find another way to occupy my time. Keep Robigo in the back of your mind in case you decide you want to do more. Ngalinn is closer, only 250Ly away, and has a host of missions you only need 3Ly Jump Range for. I take offense at the notion of Robigo being the poopsock method, when it seems way more casual than grinding guardian ruins for materials

I was doing delivery missions and saw that you now have to pick up the materials first from the top of the mission board. I got a high paying mission to deliver semiconductors but unlike the coffee mission I also selected there was nothing to pick up. I checked to make sure it wasn't one of those "cargo is loaded to your computer" missions. I went back and forth between the mission board, the details and my cargo bay and couldn't figure out what was going on so I flew to the destination, dropped off the coffee and found that the semiconductors are listed as being in the depot back where I started. Is this a bug of some sort? EDIT: It was a bug. I flew back and then the cargo was available to be loaded. Dick Trauma fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Dec 8, 2018 |

I'm so sick of wandering around trying to think of something to do in rdr 2 Economy in everything below class 5, then business class 5 or above, but no need to actually put a cabin larger than 5 in the 6+ slots. Also you need a ship that can land on a medium pad, and >30ly jump range makes it 2 jumps each way. The Python is perfect if you min/max for jump range. There was a link in this thread to a build a few pages ago but I'm on my phone.

And remember, if you opt for the Rep+++ options when you can, it all counts towards your Imperial rank. If you find yourself flush with 500M with these missions, consider heading to Ngalinn, which is actually in a Boom state right now. I've got more Data Delivery missions than I can take over here. I went from Serf to Baron in 3 days because of all the passenger missions I had done at Robigo. edit: Oh and don't be fooled, you want the missions being handed out at Robigo Mines, not Hauser's Reach. Not only are the mines more than half the distance from the main star, there's no security there. So you never have to fear losing fares due to being scanned, or because of slapping the mailslot.

pik_d posted:Are you in Ngalinn for money, rep, or what? Rep. I wanted the Clipper. At this point though, I still haven't seen my rank up meter dip below 100% as I've climbed the ranks. So now I'm just here to see how many more ranks I can go just by doing Data Deliveries and the Navy Missions that appeal to me. (Massacre 36 Pirates? No way. Assasinate Pirate Lord Elmo McGavin? Hell yeah.) I might get to Duke with very little effort beyond what I did ferrying criminals to Sirius Atmospherics. What was cool is that I got here before the Boom state happened, so when I logged in last night and saw over 40 Data missions I was stoked.

What engineering option should I take for the power distributor on my Vulture? I'm using a pair of multi-cannons engineered for damage/thermal and damage/more damage respectively and I'm enjoying how it's working out so I don't need the weapon focus since they draw very little power. Should I take the recharge focus or because I boost a lot is the engine focus useful at all? I'm using 5A standard shields. Should I use bi-weave shields instead since I'm relying on speed and maneuverability so much?

Dropship is a fuckoff hull tank with 1xL and 4XMed hardpoints, Assault Ship is Vulture On Drugs, and Gunship is very much about pouring absolute shitloads of firepower on someone. They're all med combat boats.

Vulture can also go for full shield tank with scb and boosters. Go for charge enhanced so you can utilize speed when needed.

I still need to get a bit better at dodging because after a couple of fights I end up limping away like this  I yoinked some stolen goods that the pirate I was fighting hatch-broke from a miner so now I'm going to sell them across a few black markets so the laser/power engineer notices me edit: I wish there was a way to suppress the oxygen warning because it's hard to miss the big gaping hole in my canopy.

Definitely something wrong with delivery missions. If I accept more than one the depot only shows the cargo for the first mission. I have plenty of room for both, but there's no way to collect the cargo since it's not in the depot. Logging out didn't help. Last time I completed the first mission and when I returned the cargo for the second one appeared in the depot. Unless this is by design, that you can accept multiple delivery missions but can only collect the cargo for the first one.

I just logged in again and the second mission is still not in the depot. Guess I'll deliver the first load and come back to see if the second appears, but next time I'll try collecting the cargo as soon as I accept a mission. Not sure yet if this is only one station (Lawrence Orbital) or it's happening at others. EDIT: For the hell of it I bought 2 units of tantalum and although it's in my cargo bay it's not marked with "haulage" so it doesn't count toward the mission. So there's no way to be sneaky and turn this into a "source" mission. EDIT 2: Nope, the depot is still empty. Ah well, I'll just dump the mission.

There will be a server reset for the new update on Tuesday, so make sure all your missions are completed before then. If not, they will be wiped. So if you're in the middle of a chain mission, ya better get a move along.
