Yuna SakashiroYou were right about the CG reward, too. No class 7 FSD, just more 3, 4, and 6.

Btw I started using EDMC last night. Late to the party, I know.


If I had to recommend one plugin for EDMC it would be Canonn's one.

Tip: look at all tabs in Settings to see which 3rd party tools you can send data and default 3rd party tools to see information for stations, systems, ships. etc.

Yeah I was kinda saddened about that. I was also hoping to get a good FSD for my Cutter.

CG manager thoughts:

"New FSD... that will require someone actually to put work in creating it .... Nah, let's copy/paste previous version of the CG and just touch some variables. I am genius!"

So far I've only enabled Inara updates, but today I'll install the FCMS plugin. Our squadron Discord has a channel for fleet carrier movements, and FCMS can automatically broadcast jump notifications via webhooks.

I have that too, used it for awhile but then stopped. The other that is nice is integration with neutron plotter.

So if I add buy or sell orders to my fleet carrier's commodity market, EDMC will automatically broadcast them through the EDDN to Inara and other sites, right?

Yeah, should work once a CMDR with EDMC land on FC ... not sure if opening market is needed.

Aileen LeithIt is much easier, faster and safer to dock cutter manually, without ADC assistance


Don't get me wrong, the problem isn't the mailslot but NPC ships approaching at angles where I can't see them. On the Anaconda a small class 3 bumper shield was enough to prevent minor collision damage, but the smallest shield for the Cutter is class 6, and that's a lot of cargo space I would lose.

it is just a 64t. Compared to overall capacity of cutter it is nothing. Especially when it is about own safety. Not only during autodock but against other players in open too

Don't worry. The time will show her the error of her judgment
A cutter with 720t capacity using 2/4/0 pips can have 6400+ MJs abs. shield and 1700+ raw armor.

If flight assist off keeps your momentum and requires counter inputs, how come you dont keep boost speed?

A shielded 720t cargo Cutter can't have a class 5 FSD booster. In solo I need jump range all the time, but shields are dead weight.

Btw, I needed only two shipments to get into the top 75%.

I am close to Top 10 .... Plot twist ... in Colonia.

My hauling cutters have same amount of cargo as my mining cutter - 512t. Enough for same shield , fuel scoop, guardian FSD booster , and even more HRP and MRPs.

Yuna SakashiroBtw, I needed only two shipments to get into the top 75%.

So far ... but reckon 5k should probably be enough for 75%.
I hit 25%, hope that'll do all week.
I tried to message you yesterday to see if you wanted my spare thermal cooling units. Would have brought them over, but I've just opened a selling order for them now.

EpisparhI am close to Top 10 .... Plot twist ... in Colonia.

It would have been more of a twist if you'd hit top 10 in Alcor, as you've been in Colonia all week.
How many tonnes did you have to haul to get to the top there? 100?

Top 10 min margin is 10kt, but you clearly have no idea what it is to get 10kt in Colonia when all station supply is permanently 0!
