What are you folks doing now after Cocijo? Anyone going back to Sol and do a bit BGS in favor of the Sol Workers' Party maybe?

Tomorrow will probably set off the repair initiative stuff for Sol, whether it runs on a CG or not. Maybe we'll finally get that elusive Titan salvage CG which has been hinted toward several times but has yet to materialize, too. Preferably before the Feds decide to monopolize the Titan wreck and permit lock Sol again, or the Titan's caustic field fully dissipates (I'd really like to not have to bother with the pirate nonsense at those sites).

RawnuBack to bounty hunting in my Mamba, how I missed this beautiful ship. Haven't flown it in quite a while and what a joy!

Farming Raw Materials after exhausting them in different fits.
HIP 36601, Outotz LS-K d8-3, and later HR 3230 and HIP 36601, it's a lot of work and I also have to refill my Carrier's Tritium.
Btw, I understand why you love this Cobra MK V, I use this ship for farming materials in Signals and it's real good at it.

Anyone with a preference for mining have any suggestions for a good Tritium mining ship/build?
If not, that's OK. (My default choice is to retrofit my Keelback (already outfitted for some mining) and my Cobra MkIII.)

Limpets.
I've never encountered tritium in a core, only surface and subsurface, so seismic missiles won't be necessary if all you want to mine is tritium.
However, unless you plan on spending a long time, a long way from civilization, it may be less time consuming buy the tritium and fill the carrier's cargo with it rather than mine the stuff. A trip to Colonia should be about 6-7K worth of Tritium at most. When the carrier's fuel is low, all you have to do is transfer tritium from carrier cargo to one of your ships, then from the ship to the carrier fuel tank.
Assuming 150 tons per jump (it is usually closer to 130) 18K total tons of tritium will last you at least 60K light years.
FWIW, I am one of those weirdos that actually likes mining. I just mine valuable material and use the profits to buy tritium. I've not gone on a carrier trip far enough that I needed to actually mine tritium.

Kasumi GotoI'll probably set up a Mamba for my alt as has been my plan for some time, Thargoids just meant I never got to it. Build suggestions - weapons, primarily - are welcome.
I'm running a huge short-range thermal vent beam laser, two large oversized frags (one drag, the other either incendiary or corrosive), and two small short-range rail guns (one feedback cascade just in case, one super penetrator, but you could do oversize as well). This has proven for me to be a good combo dealing various damage and making short work of other ships. What I particularly like about the Mamba, it's fantastic look aside, is that all hardpoints are on the same plane (dorsal). Makes mixing fixed and gimballed weapons somehow easier for me.
