PhelboreNow... it's confession time. I just got my first friendly fire bounty in a long time, pure stupidity on my part. I use voice attack, locked a guy in a wing of two, gave the voice command to attack my target, then switched (before the command parsed) to his wingmate who hadn't yet been scanned so my fighter attacked the not yet scanned guy. Oops... And purely my fault.
GiyariLyon DeLacyBrynhild HervorsdottirGo with the fuel scoop, it has no weight and gives you an infinite means of fueling yourself without stopping, vice the fuel tank, which adds more weight and only adds 4 more tons of fuel.
Although if your wingmates are flying big ships like Anacondas or Cutters, I'd personally bully them into carrying fuel limpet controllers.
True that. I also wondered about making combat capable ASP Scout at some point, but that would throw up a price being over 300k what could be risky with left 3 million credits. Decisions, decisions... I like Viper to be honest due to its size and capabilities when winged.
Keep the viper, it's honestly not a bad ship at all and you'll work out how to deal with its problems. The asp Scout is alright but it's nothing special. It has high manoeuvrability but low speed, and it's big too, meaning although you can spin about, you're going to get shot at and hit fairly often. The Diamondback Scout might be a good plan though. I'd save up for it and kit one out, they run super cold too, which means you can get a bit creative with your weapons
Another option is to start some engineering! With 3.0 on the verge of going live, it would be the perfect time if you've not tried it out yet. An enhanced range FSD will do you no wrong on a Viper, especially if you're out and about with friends
Jack DekerdtThe DBS was my preferred ship when I was starting out. I found a great early multirole ship with great maneuverability and line of sight. It punched well against similar ships and I used very extensively for BH with no issues. UNtil I got a Python, it served me very well. Meh, my 2 cents, anyway.
Lyon DeLacy there's no large Railgun, just large PA.

You should give the Plasma Accelerator a chance, they wreck things in no time, and personally, i think they're more useful on a quick ship than the Railguns.
PhelboreThe PA is for close up work, not long range sniping. Also, you can engineer it's speed up quite a bit with the long range mod if you have that engineer unlocked.
