StamrehnBy the way, anybody have some suggestions on where to find painite to mine for Selene Jean?




I can happily acquire the Painite and the 50 Bromelite you'll need for Bill Turner, just make me an offer by way of recompense.



I havent mined yet and i kinda dont intend to except for that 5 grade hull reinforcment engineer requirement...
So...if I need 50 units of Bromelite for Bill sometimes in the future, can i contact you...we meet in some backwater system.. ( on the dark side of some planet, that stuff should be don in the cover of darkness )...I unload 50 units of low temp diamonds ( stolen ) and you unload 50 units of Bromelite... have a beer while drones transfer the cargo..and go on our merry way ?


Happy to oblige however you want the transfer to take place

If someone goes to the time and effort to set a trap for you, you'd better spring it! Anything else would just be rude.

If by the trap you mean my proposed exchange ..well i doubt somebody would go through such trouble to kill hauler with 50 low temp diamonds in cargo... and if it is pirating, you can get more and far easier from npcs.

While on the subject of that, is it just me or last few months t7s dont stop when you kill the power plant anymore.
I mean im forced to have a merry go round chase with t7 and my limplets...its comical

Tips, advices... how to make them stop for a minute or two so you can empty their hold properly ?

Known bug. Best tactic is to play dead and tank their tickling shots while continuosly emptying their hold.

Yup i am doing that..when they get farther i fire a few shots to provoke them to move closer and fire hatch breaker at about 1km... if i face them, they'll pass by me shooting, if i turn away from them they usually hang at about 600 - 800 m and shoot. Cargo is still spread out quite a lot but somewhat managable.
Meh i wish FDev would at least add another minute for cargo survivability in space.

Going by that logic, should we just admire and embrace the bots disrupting PP, then?

Hardly! Those bots were obviously designed as target practice, it'd be rude not to shoot them!

Has anyone noticed that some of the optional internal slots only equip certain things, like I tried to install 5A Sh Gen, but it would only allow me to install cargo, hull reinforce or module reinforce, but would be able to install it in my class 6 slot

Those are military slots. A few ships have them.

Ah, a Saud Kruger. Those have passenger slots that act the same. I think the difference is shield cell banks are replaced with passenger cabins in the allowed list.

Did you take the other shield gen out first? If you had one in the class 6, you can replace that one, but you can't add to another slot if there is one elsewhere.
