Grecale80. I'm a bit unsure about using fixed wepon due to the low agility of the ship: stay on a fast target can be a problem


I really do not seem to have too many issues with mine. The gimballed huge multi will eat small nimble ships (I use a long range grade 3 with corrosive - the increase to shot speed helps in hitting those little ships is my gut feeling, whether that is true I could not say) that evade my fixed lasers.

I do only run reinforced armour on mine (lightweight mod with layered plating) which keeps some weight off and may help the handling, but I only fly fa on, and can still get my weapons to bear more often than not against many foes.

EpisparhHint for the BH CGs:

For Feds: you go to Nelson Dock in LHS 54 and stack pirate assassination/massacre missions for Parutis system. Killing pirates and handing them in Schweickart City.




ooo this is a good tip. the pickings over at Parutis are paltry if you just hunt randomly. thanks Epi!

For Imps: you go to NLTT 9447 plenty of RES. The System is controlled by Artemis Corporation so you kill there but claim vouchers at Miyasaka Orbital in MANDH.


Ah. Thanks Epi. Favoriting.

SuperFrogXI missed it today, but strangely, my drops from previous episode did not show on my account. I created ticket... it does not look good when they have message that due to increased number of tickets, wait time can be up to 7 days.



you need to log to frontier , then link twitch account and then return to https://twitch.frontierstore.net/ and claim your loot.

It is a bit odd way to do it.


That worked. Thank you!!!

Yep. Another bookmark for the collection.

Is it normal when selling exploration data on a carrier, not to progress on the Exploration rank?

FDev has a general policy to do anything they can to prevent player to player exploiting so I wouldn't be surprised if ALL FC transactions do not count towards their normal progression.

I think it is supposed to count. But, IIRC, if you are looking directly at progress when you are selling data, you may need to log out and back in to see the results. I don't think the progress updates in real time.

Yeah, I think it count the 100% not what you actually get (-25%). Might be a re-log Frontier magic as MarcOmega said.

Sometimes naval rankings don't automatically update when you hand missions in either, it usually takes a few minutes.

Engineer unlock progress lags behind, too. It's normal.

Also I found out that if you engineer modules, log out, and then import to Inara, the mod info isn't up to date. That's apparently not Inara's fault, because if you log out, then in, then out again, and THEN import to Inara, it'll be correct.

Have Frontier buffed wetwork missions over the past few years? Specifically the kind where you go to the mission related signal source, drop in, and find your quarry plus several authority ships in waiting. In the past I could just about drop the victim's shields, then take out their hull and low wake out of Dodge before the authorities sent me to the rebuy screen. Tonight I do such a mission for the first time since around 3303-4, and even when I have my three beam lasers (which are Efficient but should still make short work of most NPC shields) for quick work on their shields, I can just get the shields down and maybe 10 percent of the hull before I have to do a Brave Sir Robin, feeling fortunate I escaped with one third of my hull strength left. This seemed to be more of a military target (they were in a Corvette), whilst in the past I used to go after politicians who are generally in Orcas and are pretty easy to deal with. Not sure if such missions are worth the bother, seems the only way to do it is to have the mother of all tanks.
