Elite: Game talk

Adam 'The detective' ŠtefánikAlso @thinder: you can try this Mandalay, it has minimal required engineering but engines are priority in upgrading: Mandalay

And my Krait

P.S. I managed to do 4 bomb runs totaly-1 yesterday with Krait-partial success-rebuy but 1 million bond, first today was with T10 (but I got 20 interdictions as I git hyperdicted by two Hydras and my hull was 50% so peculiar repairs needed), total fail-rebuy, no bond, second try with Krait ended same as with T10 and last one was total success-8 mil bond and I got home with 37% hull. And only once before I tried this but I havent got past pulse

I just adapted CMDR MEOWERS Fer-de-Lance fit, I concluded that the Python was way too slow I'll see how it goes, in boost, she stays above 500 m/s.

In fact my FDL configuration was already very close to hers, it didn't take much time or resources, but the Mandalay would.

I haven't seen the asteroid field, I get as close as <> 50 km but suffered too much damage and had to U-turn, like last time I ended up with 6/7% HP left.

If you’re suffering this much damage before getting to the asteroids, then either you’re ejecting the caustic sinks way too late, or you’re getting attacked by these starfish-like caustic generators (or both).

If it’s the latter, pop a heat sink when you’re approaching the generators and boost past them. If needed, pop a second heat sink to keep your heat as low as possible until you’re past the caustic generator zone. (Titan assault runs generally require a good stock of Basic Conductors & Heat Conduction Wiring. Fortunately, both are grade 1 materials.)

THIS... And I spend way too much time in the cloud, even with the FDL Which is the faster of the bunch (until now I prep a Mandalay), I never saw the asteroids.

All I see is a big undefine black blob and something that looks like laser fire in there but no human ships or belt.

Problem of FDL is small internal space so you cant fit so much hrps
