TryXingI am on xbox, can I take advantage of this api business?

Sadly there is no way for an API system to gather the necessary data from console versions. I believe this is due to the security measures from Microsoft and Sony (although I could be wrong).

Perhaps in the future but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Raging TaterWhy am I having so much trouble finding a Cobra MKIV? The Shipyards say they have it in here and I flew 110LY because thius system said it was updayed 3 Minutes ago.

Initially the Cobra MkIV was only available to beta backers on the PC version. However when Horizons was announced it became available again to those who pre-ordered the expansion on PC and/or Xbox.

As of now, there is no way to access the Cobra MkIV on PS4 or to anyone who bought the game after the Horizons pack after initial release. I've heard rumours that it will no longer be opened up for access again, but similarly also rumours that another opportunity will arise before long. Take that as you will.

The cobra mk IV is hardly the biggest loss. Get yourself an AspX and this will all seem like a bad dream.

Cobra IV has no Raider ship kit, which makes it literally unplayable.

It also turns like it's submersed in molasses. You're better off without the Cobra IV, you're really not missing out.

I beg to differ thanks very much!

Is it worth kicking up a fuss over? Not really. But she's not that bad. A bigger, more sluggish MkIII but extra firepower and hull lets you fight off the pirates without losing cargo space. I wouldn't lose sleep over not getting one. But she's not a terrible ship. People say the Viper MkIV is poor compared to the MkIII, but the fact is she just has different strengths.

That's my piece anyway.

Have fun CMDRs o7 x

Anyone know where to buy the Type 10? I downloaded the patch on Friday and immediately logged on. The game had some sort of bug where it put me in another of my ships and logged me into a station that I hadn’t been to previously.
I had docked at Upsilion Aquarii in my beluga the night before and the patch put  me into my viper IV....and none of my other ships were available for transfer.

However, I noticed the Type 10 was available for purchase at this new station.

I logged back out and logged in later that day, but I was back in the correct ship/system. I can’t remember the name of the system that the patch transported me to...

It was only present due to a bug. It has since been removed.

Anyone know of a good system for mining painite? Need it to unlock an engineer and I’ve had no luck finding any at all.

I used Delkar personally. It was a while back but I think it has pristine rings. Even then though it still took a while to find all 10 tons because RNG was not kind to me.

Go here, enter your reference system (whatever you want to find systems near, probably your home system or where you have a mining ship), wait for it to appear in the dropdown and click it, you can't just type it all in, then click "Find Bodies" to bring up a list of systems, and click the "Ref" column once to sort by that.

Would you all say the Python is a better miner or an Anaconda?

Where the biggest Refinery fits and you still have enough place for Cargo racks and a decent outfitting would be the ship of my choosing.

I used my Corvette for to multirole in Trading (once) / Mining / BHing back in the days.

Python is a perfect miner, enough compartments, hardpoints and resilience!
