it's too bad the clipper wings don't retract to fit medium pads when landing gear is deployed, that could be much more practical and make it a good blockade runner.

You would report them (their specific CMDR names) to Frontier, not Inara. Artie can't do anything about them.

We (Knights of the Empire) are fighting an honest war in the sense that we don't cheat or use exploits in combat. Therefore it is annoying when someone repeatedly does that.

If it doesn't bother you, fine, but we post this information here just in case anyone else wants to be chivalerous and honest and in case anyone runs into these rabbits. Know what they are.

The thing about Frontier is that we never know if they do anything. We know that they consider combat logging to be a cheat, but not menu logging. They are also aware of the difficulties with discerning an intentional combat log from an ill-timed network failure.

They have disclosed the existence of a shadow ban server, but don't say who is on it. As far as I know, even the players who have been exiled to the ban server don't even know that they're there.

Frontier are not required to disclose what they do. Just because they don't tell you, doesn't mean they aren't doing anything. Kinda defeats the purpose of a shadowban if they go around announcing their actions for every CLog report.

I am kind of new to building my own ships and engineering. I have gotten a lot of help from quite a few people but I was wondering if anyone in the community could help me out?

I have a FDL with x2 Med Seeker Missiles, x2 Med Pulse Lasers and a Huge Pulse Laser. I do not have them engineered yet outside of a stage 3 ammo upgrade for the missiles. I do not do well with fixed weapons (I hit 1/4 Plasma accelerators and have yet to hit with the railgun.) Needless to say I am not the best combat pilot. However I have been told that with this ship I should be able to last and deal out significant damage.

Does anyone have any ideas that may help me out other than "Get better!"?

Thank You in advance I appreciate any and all help.

I thought they at least put a log timer on... Back in the day when I played WoW that was a common issue circa Lich King, Blizzard instituted a timer for those that violated the spirit of the game and PvP combat, in particular, for combat/battleground loggers. it helped some. I thought Frontier did that too, seems intuitive. I don't know 'cause I don't combat log, lol.

Excellent!  An aspiring FDL driver.  

Two missiles and three pulse lasers is a fun build.  If you're not good with fixed, go ahead rock gimbal for a while as you learn to fly the ship.  Slowly you can treat the gimbals like fixed weapons then eventually just switch to fixed.

Ammo upgrades are the way to go with missiles.  I'd set up two fire groups with lasers plus one missile launcher on each.  That way you can make your missiles last even longer and not risk them exploding each other if you fire them together.

Efficient pulses with a mix of effects are generally smiled upon.  I'd go emissive and scramble on the mediums then nothing on the huge (keep that DPS up).

Two questions!

1) What ships have you flown before?  I'd like an idea of what you're used to flying.

2) What do you like to shoot?  NPCs?  Players?  Little bit of everything?
