The FDL. I look forward to buying one and seeing how well (or not) that ventral station performs in combat. There's not enough pure combat craft for my liking. Eagle and Viper doesn't have the firepower I want. Vulture needs too much Engineering for me to bother with. FDS/FAS/FGS are rank locked behind a superpower I find distasteful. Everything else are "combat and...". That leaves the FDL and probably the Chieftain, and...we'll see.

@ Whiplash

I see it from another point of view. In my mind, it's far worse for the persons who are hired to kill me not to be able to do so before I deliver my Passengers.

Just imagine they'd have to confess to the (probably pretty pissed) employer that they couldn't fulfill the contract. Which results in their reputation waning, getting less jobs with worse pay. Eventually they fall so low that nobody wants to hire them anymore.

Or the employer puts a contract on their heads for failing.

In the end I treat the NPCs as I treat certain Players. They don't give a damn about me and how I play the game and would get off by destroying me. So I simply turn the tables and deny them just that.

And I come out the winner in both scenarios. With a big fat grin on my face

Not that I think you'll see this, but I hope your wing remembers the last time you decided to run your mouth without fear of consequence.

Mr Phisto: can you just stop with this crap here again ... Were Ryan's words triggered you or what? Obviously Some people simply don't like you and your play style, nothing more, nothing less ... it do not give you any right to start again and again shit fight on forums.

Fine. I'll take it off the forums to Afli instead. How's that?

I love my FDL, at the minute I have a type 4 Beam and multicannons on one trigger and a pair of flak cannons on the other for when it gets up close and personal..

Last night I was debating a different load out, type 4 cannon and all the rest rail guns, all fixed, on one trigger.

Now i figure this will only work as part of a wing where others are using faster firing gimballed weapons to deal with little quick ships and I then roll in with what should be an almighty boom on the big target, i was half asleep and quite drunk at the time...

Anyone played with a setup similar?

Some people probably don't get it that they're on my (quite extensive) Ignore list so I will not be able to read whatever they write.

And if they'd smarten up they do the same with me and everyone's better off due to it. Specially Artie who did implement this feature for a reason, mostly to have less work on his hands hammering / deleting all the useless forum posts that only revolve about the same topics anyways.

Where is this much-touted ignore feature, because I can't find it. Not that I need it right now, but you never know.

No idea if this will be a double post now, but check under CMDR'S LOG and then Friends and Favourites.

They're all on it because you even like your forums in private group and solo play.

But hey, haha, my presence in GL territory right now actually has a lot more to do with other stuff.

@Phisto:
Apparently it's not going as well, as you would like to, as you seem to need to blow off some steam here.

Whiplash 1983Oh I agree there. When the ticket is the issue never mind the mission tips. Definitely not worth the bother. There are times though when I am running a whole systems worth of Data Delivery missions that spawn one interdiction after another en-route. Sometimes dropping three Anaconda at a time on top of me. After a while you just want to end them. Nice to be able to terminate when the mood hits and still put down at that distant outpost for the finish.


I sympathize with that

What?  No!  It's going great.  I got the last five Classified Scan Databanks I needed for Ram Tah here in Afli.  Honestly, thanks a lot.  Those were a real bugger.
