RawnuOk, this is a ridiculous Python Mk2 build: https://edsy.org/s/vSgI7ov
It's all frags with high cap and screening shell. If you want to make it more ridiculous, you could go with overcharged and screening shell. Most shields are gone after the second hit. Then another three hits or so, and ships go pop. Engagement with e.g. an Elite NPC Clipper takes three seconds at most. Heck, even large ships that are supposed to be tanky are popping like nothing. Even wing assassination missions, where the Elite NPC FdL is escorted by two Deadly or Dangerous NPC Vultures are a piece of cake. It just goes pop-pop-pop.

Edit: DPS is 412


I like it. Space Shottie, definitely. Looks like you'd have to get in close on the target to really be effective. (Yes, frags work fine enough at distance, if you lob them just right.) With that being the case, why not raise the Fast Scan on the K-Scan to G5? You'll be in close anyhow, no?

Also, isn't it fun?! NPCs in small ships are just space junk in seconds. (Hence my space shottie name of "Piece-Maker".)

I'd rather have the next stage of the Thargoid conflict, not humans bickering over frozen balls of ice with no life or light on them, Frontier, thanks a lot.

Hello!

I need help. I must commit crimes for my power. But i have to get around 300.000 credits of bounty, what should i do, to get so high bounty? Attacking innocent humanitarian convoys only give me 400 cr bounty. Is there any faster way?

Kasumi Goto ... part of it is roleplay which I built pretty much entirely around this Thargoid stuff. And that my (main) character shares the trait of "has no interest in political scenes" [technically both don't]. And the Thargoid PvE interactions (combat or otherwise) also tend to be far more interesting than blowing up aimbotty human ships that also spam chaff every second (or two) and which generally revolves primarily around stacking shield hitpoints.


You have mentioned several times that you have never fought Thargoids. How will this work?

Probably nothing. Although, I have plan to make character history and engage in roleplay. I have concept of the Emperor's fanatically loyal dog. With love to enemy (federal) ships. What's better, system in which i have to commits crimes is system where i give lot of money in charity quest, to make reputation to get ranks in Federal Navy. This is great background for moral dilemmas for writing a page from Capitan's Diary.

AHBeing selective about things I have said again in an attempt to get a reaction.

You're not worth replying to in length, so I am just going to repeat I have a second account with which I have fought Thargoids, and that I did on my main account for a few initial months of the Thargoid war.

Controller Commanders: how did you map the flight/rotational controls?

Personally, I have one set of controls
- where LS is up/down for pitch, left/right for roll, with yaw as toggled (hold) with a backpaddle
- and RS is up/down for vertical thrusters, left/right for lateral thrusters
My alternative flight controls have yaw bound to RS left/right, so no lateral thrusters there.
FA on/off is LS pressed.

I'm more used to my alternative flight controls, as they are pretty standard for a flight sim. But full thruster control is necessary in combat, so I went with that as my standard. How about you?
