12:00'ish >>> Logging on to grind more on ↓ Missions - or see who's doin' what? (Maybe AX stuff)
Had loads of fun with talofa boys doing, "SIDEWINDER SUNDAYS"
First tried with my Courier but Vulcher was WAY BETTER - More manouverable.

17:15>>> Loading in to keep plugging away at ≈4 missions (max one: 81 pirates to kill)
Very tempted to join talofa's peeps for AX stuff but, like yesterday, i will soon have to get ready for work...

Afternoon >>
~~~~ WORK ON CORVETTE, before finishing Pirate Missions ~~~~~
* Went to Lamark for 1x size 3 Plasma (to refit Corvette, from borrowed engineered Multis from Krait)
* - perfect station to come to coz i needed to TRADE ECODED materials!
****** E.D. Graphics Settings: *** CHANGED SEVERAL Terrain SETTINGS TO "Ultra"
- <<<<<<<<<<< Check FPS and how it looks over next few scenarios >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>--------------------N.B. 4 Future Ref..-------------------
> PACK HOUND TIME TOO, I RECKON!!! Remember> LEMBAVA System (Where Li Yong-Rui lives)
Get to RATING 3 - deliver 750 items to his supporters (PREPERATION TAB)
E.g. Goldstein Port (in LEMBAVA) - Stocking up on materials ^ ... if u use Type 9, u can do it in one run, then wait for the tick...
Done through Contacts - Power Contacts section (at the delivery station.....(Cantor gateway))
>> Frame Shift Wake Scanner (FSWS?) added to Corvette
- Because! <<let's face it, my 'vette is just my WORK-HOR$E, so it's not for 'epic' combat,
it's for SCOOPING Materials and Killing as many Pirate as dfast as possible at the same time
so why not scan for Encoded mats as well, while scooping Manufactured mats...
{Sacrificed ONE of TWO Heat-Sinks since I don't often use them but can also swap out
the only (ONE of ONE) Chaff Launcher... but i do like to have at least one, despite what everyone
says...}*
IF ANYTHING, I'M LIKELY TO JUST ADD MORE (ALREADY HAVE 4...) SHIELD BOOSTERS....

>>> Engineer access: Marsha Hicks Grade 5 access. <<<
10:00 Logged on to double-check i really am on "Joel" aka jcoxpgh aka Cmdr JOOBAY's - CARRIER: Ratsylvania (Rat Plague) - yes - am...was...
10:15 Flew to TIR out of curiosity re NEBULA and Engineer 'Marsha Hicks' @ The Watchtower | TIR | 51 Ly
ALL G5s: Collector Limpet Controller , Fuel Transfer Limpet Controller, Hatch Breaker Limpet Controller, Prospector Limpet Controller, Refinery,
Fuel Scoop, Cannon, Multi-cannon & Fragment Cannon.
I'm only missing one requirement!!!: Mine 10 units of Osmium.
>>> BOUGHT OFF A CARRIER RIGHT HERE IN TIR (for RIP OFF $45M)
~~~~~ Weird glitch ~~~~ Cargo didn't show:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~
~~~~~ Creating post for NOTES: ~~~~~ Often it's just glitched.
I was looking around back and forth and searching google and all the while, the 10 units of OSMIUM i definitely bought off someone's carrier
just wasn't showing in my 'Inventory' > "SHIP CARGO"....
Then i looked in "MATERIALS" and checked the filter "Type: Element"
It wasn't among all these materials (even though there were other metals i had farmed)...
BUUUUT, after that, IT JUST SHOWED UP, in my "SHIP CARGO"...
Out of curiosity, i un-checked the filter for "Type: Element" in "MATERIALS" (wondering if that would make is vanish from my "SHIP CARGO" again,
but no... the Osmium was still visible...
ERGO, just GLITCH!

Considering ENGINEERING MultiCannons ....
{ OVERSIZED(?) with Auto Loader, or OVERCHARGE w Auto Loader: & some say LONG RANGE...not sure which experimental.... }
WHICH META?.... https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/r84ldj/best_engineering_multicannons/
LONG RANGE pros:
In the 5 years I've been playing, I've found that putting LONG RANGE on projectile weapons (exception:rails) is usually best.
This increases the shot speed and damage falloff range. Doing this makes it so you're doing full damage at pretty much any range, and you land more
shots. Both of which will increase dps more then increasing the dps of the gun. Remember you only do damage when you hit your target.
So making it easier to hit will increase damage output better than raw dps.
OVERCHARGE w Auto Loader?:
For huge multicannons the overcharge with auto loader is usually the "meta".
Huge multies have piercing of 68, quite nice, it deals full damage to all ships, except few with armour of 70 (but this is close),
and the T10 (75).
And if you put PAs and/or rails to smaller hardpoint (piercing of 100),
you can leave out the usuall small multi with corrosive.
OVERSIZED(???<-- no idea why ppl say this...there is no such thing...
there IS one called "HIGH CAPACITY...) with Auto Loader with smaller guns HIGH CAPACITY with Corrosive:
Corrosive does not really make up for the lost dps when you are chewing up hull, doubly so when you are sitting there with your thumb up
your ass while your guns are reloading. If you want to do thermal damage, use a laser instead

19:15 ALL FINISHED!!! { Tried out at Conflict zone and ABSOLUTELY MELTED ALL SORTS OF SHIPS!!!}
- I MANAGED TO ENGINEER ALL 3 OF MY KRAIT'S MULTI-CANNONS TO G5 !!!!!!!!!!!* Amazing since the whole thing was un-planned!
(I WENT FOR 2XOVERCHARGE w 1x Corosive and 2xINCENDIARY, and 1xLONG RANGE with Auto Loader)
Had to race back to TIR as SparrowHawk suggested i Blueprint something other than Multis, coz u can get those in the bubble...so i went back
for Engineer 'Marsha Hicks' @ The Watchtower | TIR | 51 Ly to blueprint "FRAGMENT CANNONS for G5"
Then raced back to Cmdr JOOBAY's CARRIER RATSYLVANIA... Now if they leave Colonia (technically Carcosa) - i am onboard.
