50 mins of FRUSTRATION, then finally got the hang of SUV shooting, then selecting in the air and
then scooping items...
just driving into tree is often enough. Got barely any Selinium (6) but a few other raw mats....
12th Jan 2023 (Mon)
-------------------
Battle with Thargoids ↓ from last night ran till after 2am!
11th Jan 2023 (Mon)
-------------------
* Continued...NANABOZHO PIRATE missions
{Savinykh + Soper Hub (Farkas not giving me Kill Crew of Nana Pirates missions anymore)}
* ***LESSONS LEARNED FROM AX-COMBAT*** (N.B. I went as support-role with 3 experienced AX fighters - Don't recommend solo'ng unless only scouts) :
- ***Shutdown Field Neutraliser ***works!
- ***STAY away from Interceptors!*** You will only be able to kill scouts and not more than 2 at a time... even 1 if you can!
- I found when Interceptors targeted me, ***dropping heat sink and/or running silent*** (especially if shields already down) and ***boosting away*** works!!!..
- ***DODGE their missiles!******...turn off flight assist*** when doing this!
- ***SILENT RUNNING*** ***is good for COOKING OFF Caustic-Effect*** too! {Do ANYthing that heats up your ship...on the way home, i used a star! (150%)}
- ***SHIELDLESS BUILD*** MAY BE THE TICKET! More pips in Weapons and Engines, shields don't work vs 'goids anyway + better for SILENT PROFILE etc....
- ***Repair & Decontamination limpets*** helped! ***The auto repair unit*** too (it's not actually auto btw)...
***Good luck cmdrs!***
* Joined FLAG420/B1-R by WANUDA WARNA? to fight Thargoids at HIP11111? Anyway, it was at a SETTLEMENT and it was TERRIFYING, coz there were INTERCEPTORS as well as Scouts.
Killed heaps of scouts and managed to NOT DIE ONCE!
Got CLOSE to dying at least 3 TIMES!!!

- Maybe get MBOONI permit (Go: LHS 1163 system, go to Megaship Glorious Prospect > missions > Permit Aquisition Opportunity).
- Move Carrier to Nana
- More Pirate hunting for CR

7th Jan 2023 (Fri)
-------------------
* EVAC MISSIONS! Using COBRA.
(Since yesterdays Sulaco loss i din't want to risk the Nightingale)...
- Went from MUCHIHICKS to CEPHEI SECTOR BV-Y B4
Hooping to EVAC ppl but the system hadn't been scanned and even when i did, i found NO ORBITING STATIONS! >
- I was hyperdicted entering
(twice - one dropped me on the MUCHIHICKS side of the jump, the 2nd, on the CEPHEI SECTOR BV-Y B4 side).
- While exploring, i got hyperdicted a couple of times.
- Boosting, silent running and doging missiles WORKS.
So my 442M/S seems to be minimum (I'd say 450).
6th Jan 2023 (Fri)
-------------------
Spent quit a while doing maint. stuff...
* Installed Facilities on my CARRIER
- Repair - Refuel - Armoury - Cartographics & Redemption Off.
* Re-fitted Sulaco (my crusader) for Xeno-combat...
* Went to MUCHIHICKS (FOB system for xeno ops) then jumped to close Xeno area, immediately got HYPERdicted and WHACKED!
(Could not run fast enough... even boost speet is ABYSMAL!)
NEED A RUNNING SHIP! At least 400-450km/hr....
Damn... So unless in a Wing... Sulaco is no good for AX ops....
P.s. I even tried SILENT RUNNING - No joy.
5th Jan 2023 (Thur)
-------------------
* Went to Post Captain in Federation Rankings, then,
* Flew around to Alatir, another Rescue Ship and finally:
Pirsan (on Planet 4A) in BLEST, a settlement that sells:
>>> size 3 GIMBALLED Enhanced AX Multicannon!!!!! <<<<
Ended the night/early Friday with MASS killings at A1 HazRes,
mostly with Gix but also new guy and Hyde and Muggleduck?...
Anyway, it was fun! Recorded a fair bit... Have too much content now...
4th Jan 2023 (Wed)
---------------------
[Note: CARRIER moved to TIOLCE coz facility upgrades must be done in Carrier Administration Systems]
Got CARRIER!!!!! ~ late after Tue, so about 6am....

'Carrier Administration SYSTEM'
LISTING 579 units of TRITIUM for sale at $86k/unit
(Up to 50M CR)
TRANSFERRING MOST SHIPS TO "THE LEXX"
Jumping to Tiolce (Malenchenko Dock has 'Fleet carrier administration' listed in it's Service)
{ Found this via INARA: DATA: Search Nearest: STATIONS: Station services (very bottom)" 'Fleet carrier administration' }
Why does Nav menu (and my eyes looking at the Star), show me closest to the Star and Planet 1, and Malenchenko Dock, but
GLAXY MAP, shows my carrier at FURTHEST PLANET (4)? {See screenshots}
3rd Jan 2023 (Tue)
------------------
Went to help CAPTAIN JACK BUDGIE & SYLENT MIKE w combat - waited all day for Raz to play coz of heat (here it's an oven too)
* Flew out to WIKMUNDA to Cmdr SYLENT MYKE's carrier "Tails of Steel".
* Sent for my Krait Mk II
* MYKE A& GIX forced me to take ≈ 6B CR (to buy a carrier and have 'nuff for facilities and a year's maintenence)
