LinventorSo, once again asking for help here, what ship should I bring on the Gnosis? Krait, Crusader, Clipper, or a type 10 without a lot of rebuy cash available?




Take your Crusader, probably the cheapest rebuy of the lot and a good anti-xeno ship.



Aight then, thanks. Last question. How do I get to the Gnosis? Route plotting fails instantly whenever I try to plot to the system it's in, and a few others nearby.

Oh, also, I don't have a crusader yet. Or any of the ships other than the t10. 'Course, using a crusader is a problem due to my obsession preference to use coriolis/edshipyard to figure out how well a ship'll work before actually buying it, and the crusader hasn't been added to either one.


Try plotting to its previous location of HD 51502 first. Also, most AXI pilots are taking Kraits and don't speak well of the Crusader, but you can find it for previs on https://beta.coriolis.io/.

Any particular reason the Crusader isn't liked by them?

Because the crusader is a some half assed amalgamation of the Chieftain and the Challenger with an SLF bay slapped to it?

There are just easily superior options. One point, for example, is the hardpoints. The meta for interceptors is typically 4x medium gauss cannons and 1x remote release flak. Easily doable on the Krait's LLLMM, but can't do that on the Crusader's LMMSSS. The other bit is speed, as the Krait is quite a bit faster. The fighter hangar option is a distraction since you'll want shields in the class 6 slot and something other than a hangar in the only other large optional internal which is a class 5 (shield cell bank, guardian shield reinforcement, or hull reinforcement). With the fighter hangar being moot, the Chieftain is a better option for speed.

So, I guess I'll go with a Krait. I've got the money for it and a lot of rebuys. And I definitely don't want to spark any hostility towards myself, considering the location and my combat rank.

Yes, rebuys will be quite important.

Happy to help




Hah, how rude of me. Thank you very much.

Also, took a peek at your profile. I like how you do the multiple view collages of each ship.

How'd you get your wing logo on your sleeve for your profile picture?



I asked the wing leader for permission to download the image. Afterwards I took an Xbox screenshot, uploaded from the console to a OneDrive account, downloaded to PC. Uploaded in Photoshop, then uploaded the emblem in the same program. Select All, Paste on a new layer on the profile image, then used Perception and Skew tools to shape. Added another layer for shading, then merged with emblem level. Used Edit layer style and used Bevel option on the emblem, adjusted to fit station lighting. Flattened the image, saved in .psp and .jpg formats.

Oh I forgot one important thing: I use a 150x150 template for profile images, so make one of these and shrink down your edited image to 150 pixels in height, using Resize on the Image bar. Since your image is flattened already Select All, then Cut and Paste to the template.

That guy in the background is the most patient, frustrated person I've ever seen.

Just walk away from the vending machine, bro.
