You do as it's an endgame purpose? no...Elite is based on Paper-Rock-Scissors....so also a small ship like a Viper Mk3 can bring down a Corvette :p...it's not like warcraft where the goal is to level up asap......bigger ship doesn't mean better....in fact they are just more complicated but therefor better..it would not be good to have a fixed predictable path....

The Presencefor mining or transporting passengers? okay...



Those are imperfect professions, I don't engage in. The Vulture is the perfect ship for my gamestyle.


No ship will be perfect for your gamestyle until Frontier releases giant ship-mounted Flammenwurfers.

Quick question , about how many thermal resist shield boosters can I slap on before I see diminishing returns ?

Does anyone else think we need a new type of SRV with bigger cargo hold? Or just a new type of SRV in general?

..it starts after 50% thermal resist, after that it will be halfed (it applies to each type of resistance separately )

I’ve noticed I can’t update images to my ship profiles anymore.  Says the images are too large even though they are not. Help? Nevermind, I guess I just have to make them even smaller. No worries at all, cheers for the exceptional work on this great site.

I do.  Maybe an airborne surface utility vehicle that we can launch from one of the fighter bays. I am tired of seeing a 1000 hills and 1000000 rocks spawn in front of me everytime I get into little vomit vehicle

Any idea why, in regards to Inara wings, the Wing Commander can't serve as a Squadron/Flight leader?

That would be great. It annoys me that my ship can't have a wave scanner or target skimmers and loot, because there are so many things my ship can do that the Scarab can't. An airborne SRV would allow me to move around on planets much faster, and if it's as big as a fighter, it would probably have enough cargo space to loot a wreck in 1 or 2 trips. I definitely want to see an exploration fighter variant.

That's odd, please send me your ship image(s) via e-mail to elite@inara.cz, so I can test the exact files.

True that. Even before the resetting the save, I found myself fond of Cobra Mk III despite having a Python. Flying Keelback (due to shortage of funds to get the only fighter-launching ship, Anaconda) also has its charms despite it being quite unpopular ship.

I am now aiming for Krait Mk II, due to finally having alternative to the "Pocket Carrier".

Anyone know why system authority vessels might fire at a clean ship without provocation? Details are in my last log entry.

I have similiar question. Some "red" Authority ships appeared mid-combat or/and turned red (without any bounty/fine message) after attacking Warrant target.

Actually i have stations suddenly turning red on me, even if i've been there for the first time,or when i'm docked, and then witnessing  seeing actually a station changing from blue to red, while docked (after just logging in)!

Odd. Tell me if it happens again, maybe we can figure it out if we pay attention to what happens during the fight. It might even be as simple as accidentally crashing into a SAV but who knows. No clue about the station problem Daxa experienced though. I’ve never heard anything like it, although the stations are said to fire on ships that violate certain laws. If it turned red while she was docked then I have no idea how that would happen. My guess for both of them is either something dumb like accidentally damaging something, or a glitch that causes the game to recognize your ship as wanted. Do either of you have bounties in other systems? I had one when I experienced this for the first time so that might have something to do with it. The game might make a mistake and think that your bounty in one system is actually a bounty in the system you’re in, causing the SAVs to attack you.
