December 2023 { Month of finishing touches }
A month of finishing touches (with engineering) - My main ship now has hull, reinforcements and sensors, all engineered and even my alternate weapons are now engineered too (Rails and Plasmas)....
Also a month of fun with Talofa and crew (E.g. 'Sidewinder Sundays' & Anti_Xeno stuff)

10:40 hrs:
>> Logged in for ARX
>>> Ended up deciding to do more TEST FLYING coz yesterday i tried combos like 3L Plasmas and 2M x Rails, then ALL plasmas...and before i logged
off, i added 2x M (engineered) Pack-Hounds instead (coz i want a plasma heavy ship).... Anyway, it was FANTASTIC with pack hounds but no matter
what i use, i need more cooling, sooooooOOooo
≈15:00 >>>> When to Lei Cheung, @ Trader's Rest | LAKSAK,( i think i did some sensor upgrades?...) so i could QUALIFY for Ram Tah*, @ Phoenix Base
in MEENE. Now i have 2 x Heat Sinks with ONE ???? ???? extra heat sink each and same for chaff, although it gets 5 extra, i think... and both are now
bookmarked.
* AWESOME settlement for CINEMATICS - the planets here line up to look really cool and eclipses would be easy to set up... Gotta come back some time as it's
in the dark atm....

14:12 >> Logged on for the 300 ARX.....
16:12 >>> Fin'd test flying 3L Plasmas w 2M x Rails (long range).....while HELLA fun, the rails just aren't really practical...takes too long to make kills...
I'm thinging either ALL Plasmas or even 3L Plasmas w 2 Multi-Cannons! (for while the ship cools down)...and more Heat Sinks...
16:20 and it's STILL freakin' 30°C!????

GIXER JOINED ME FOR SOME PEW PEW!!!!!!!!

Cont. Pirate Huntin' - <<< Msg UNHINGEDCRETON when done >> Sarge joined me...or rather, i joined him when i had decided to go afk already
Went in my Corvette but was annoyed it was missing all it's weapons... <<<< I.E. FIND MY CORVETTE COMPONENTS/MODULES >>>>

Short (partly test) flight killing pirates - used 3 large Long Range plasmas - with the extra speed, range and damage, they are AMAZING! One, two or 3
shotting small ships is hilarious and it's beautiful to have an option not reliant on gimbles (e.g. when they spam chaff) and they absolutely shred shields
too! What more could you ask for?!

Got goid mats from both Talofa AND Fritz!!!! THANKS GUYS!!!
Handed in almost about 20 MISSIONS from Talo! THANKS GUY!
Grabbed 6 new missions (Nana Pirate Killin')
≈ 18:00
THEN DISASTER!:
When i removed most of CORE MODULES OFF KRAITS, BOTH THEIR ENGINEERED side 7 HULLS VANISHED when it tried to "STORE MODULE"
them onto my CARRIER to switch them between Defiant II and Alien Stomper!!!! ???? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
TICKET SUBMITTED TO FRONTIER:
"Message received We will get back to you soon. For reference, your ticket ID # is 235931"
*i think the AX Krait's hull was never engineered and i just remembered it wrong...As to '7 hulls' i don't know what i meant on the day but all my engineered Hull Reinforcement Packs are still there...
=================
Sat 16th Dec '23
=================
from about 16:30 till ≈ 18:00:
THARGOID COMBAT with wing of 4!
Out in ASTER...something... MANY FIRSTS!!!: FIRST Basilisk, FIRST TARGETING HEARTS, FIRST Medusa, first really working
in the team (shootin' the swarm, running cool, pipps to weapons, healing self to stay off caustic and then burning it off
(I.e. the size 5(D) Repair Limpet worked PERFECT to hold further damage until i was ready to burn it off via 'COLD RUNNING'!)
Jumped out to THULEPPA where Talofa should be as he wants to give me some Thargoid mats i will need later...
=================
Thur 14th Dec '23
=================
>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>> Talofa said he'd help me get the mats i need for Caustic Sinks!!!
>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>> Met HyperViper, who said he'd help me setup HOTAS for dual functions!!! <<<--- msg for Missions
The 'hilarious' OWN CARRIER destruction of my ship after i shot at HyperViper's guardian fighter....
{ Oh yeh, MOVED CARRIER TO NEIGHBOURING SYS TO INSTALL SHIP THINGY }
Then, when he flew back up to me, into the Hyades Sector FB-N b7-6 (Maelstrom system), lost ship YET AGAIN!!!
TALOFA SHARED A BAZILLION MISSIONS!!!!! <-- makes up for all the ships i have lost this past 3 days!
=================
Wed 13th Dec '23
=================
More KILLING THARGOIDS!!!! { Hyades Sector FB-N b7-6 } [ CARRIER parked in HIP 23816 - Talofa and crew were here too ]
KILLED MY FIRST "HUNTER"!!!!! { 4.5M credits! }
Got DESTROYED SOOOOO MANY TIMES!
Finally learned that my Size 3 REPAIR drone from the Xeno Limpet (combined Repair, Research and Decon), is USELESS and installed a SIZE 5 (D)!
I also BOUND IT TO Alt Fire - very much more handy and DEF WORKS BETTER <--apparently it can even NEGATE CAUSTIC DAMAGE, although i have not yet
confirmed this - I only did 1 TEST-FLIGHT w 5 (D) REPAIR LIMPET so far and it was VS an Interceptor and i repaired myself back to 100 from about 70% HULL,
at least 3x!
I ALSO USED THIS TEST FLIGHT TO DO MY 1st EVER AX FLAK COMBAT vs SWARM!!!! <--- Apparently i am VERY bad at it and often, even though i would get the
red and sound indication that i detonated at the right time, none of them died... After MANY passes there were still 17 of them left and when a 2nd
Interceptor showed up, i bugged out and went home..
Still, i call ^ a successful TEST FLIGHT!

Jumped CARRIER back to ALIOTH for Bill Turner Engineering, so i could get one more size 3 PLASMA ACCELERATOR ENGINEERED with a 100% speed ↑
(Went with "FOCUSED" this time & Target Lock Breaker (experimental effect))
& Size 4(D) SENSORS ENGINEERED* for Long Range (G3 only)
=================
Sun 10th Dec '23
=================
12:00 =>> Engineered the Corvette's Sensors to 5G + 3 more Plasma Accelerators (two massive ones and a large): 2 x Efficient & 1 x Focused...
3 experimentals: Target break, Dispersal Field(gimbal break) & Phasing Seaquence (shield breaker)....
<< N.B. >> LEARNED THAT EFFICEIENT + FOCUSED do NOT WORK TOGETHER!!! (different focus reticules)
=================
Sat 9th Dec '23
=================
14:33: ------Stored my engineered SHIELD GENERATOR at Bill Turner's place and ordered a cargo rack...
5G'd Sensors (for ma Krait MkII) and 3x Plasma Accelerators all LONG RANGE'd
with 3 differrent Experimentals (gimbal thingy, target break and dazzle)
=================
Fri 8th Dec '23

Working around ALIOTH to become "Allied with the Alioth Independents" so i can get ALIOTH PERMIT - So i can visit Bill Turner.

=================
Thur 7th Dec '23

Shared ≈$96M missions w Talofa and Viper and someone else or two... Then he shared even MORE w me!!! LOL
Went to ALIOTH (for Bill Turner) to engineer my now D-rated SENSORS and happily he's the one for PLASMA ACCELERATORS TOO, so imma do those
