Jubei HimuraAn absolute powerhouse would be destroyed from within after a short period of time anyways. Good to see someone reads the lore or has watched the videos from Drew Wagar (soon to be posted in Elite:Dangerous lore board).


Have not heard of the videos myself unfortunately. Spent all of I think Dec 1st listening to the codex knowledge base. Knew from the start I'd fall under the Empire however after listening to the other major factions it wasn't even a debate lmao. Empire all the way. After listening to the Codex stuff I immediately decided to spend the day and the following day hauling for the Empire. Still a shame I joined too late but oh well, just barely under 100 supplies from 11k total delivered, top 25%.



@Amata Lirein Yes, Major from GiTS. Found the image before I even watched it to be honest. Unfortunately it is an nsfw image, I loved the style so cropped just this. Sadly I can't pin an artist cause I just found it in passing from someone image dumping Major images. If you like GiTS I'd highly recommend watching Jin Roh Wolf Brigade

Also literally 2nd time ever posting here so apologies if I'm doing something wrong be it with the quote or the board topic

Jubei Himura
EizoeOn the topic of the Imperial CG. First time I ever participated in a CG before and I decided to help run supplies for the Empire. Ran somewhere over a total of 10-11k for the good cause. Shame because I only joined in the last 30 hours. I have a feeling Federation has more supporters (albeit lazier and non committed ones) because the federation is the closest to our modern day western society in terms of government and overall society/culture. Thus everyone *especially the new players) who completely ignore the lore probably dive straight into Fed thinking "it's the right choice" when if they read the lore then maybe, just maybe, some of those folk would actually find themselves residing within the Empire or even the godforsaken Alliance. Definitely seems like the Empire has the strongest followers but the least amount of followers. Such an absolute shame because we can truly be an absolute powerhouse to the galaxy.

I wonder whether they'd believe me if I told them that I started out as imp, Jubs xD

Vinh KruczekDoes anyone experience issues with ship names on Xbox? Instead of the names we all see is *** ****** ***** towards each other and 100% we are sure that our ship names aren't anything vulgar or trademarked. Moreover, I noticed the same issue with Fleet Carriers.

There are no issues while importing the names onto INARA.


I've only ever seen this on fleet carriers :/

Grecale80What do u think about krait Phantom as combat ship?


On paper, Krait Mk II is better than Krait Phantom due to SLF and additional Large hardpoint.

BUT.

Both ships share the same Size 7 Power Distributor, meaning Krait Phantom depletes its WEP way slower than its Krait Mk II brother. That and Krait Phantom is also a lighter ship (better jump range by default along with differences in handling after Engineering thrusters) along with better straight-line boost. The internal modules (6-5-5-5-3-3-3-2-1) also give you better control over module configuration what gives way better multipurpose modularity.

When you think about it, "that underpowered Krait" is basically Medium Size counterpart of Cobra Mk III. There's a reason why I always call Krait Phantom "True Cobra Mk IV".


The ONLY flaw I have is that none of the Krait Phantom's utility slots are on top of the ship, meaning worse coverage of Point Defenses compared to Krait Mk II.

Haha, I like that analogy. My Cobra Mk4 wouldn't, but I do.

Does the description of "ammonia worlds" in the current CG mean, any world with ammonia as, or in, or as part of, the atmosphere? Or is that strictly just those with "ammonia world" as its description?

Fascinating analysis. I love its maneuvrability and speed. One of the few ship where i can handle rail gun

No idea if that was mentioned somewhere already, but it's worth to repeat it:

Artemis Corporation, the player faction who controls Mandh, have taken quite a hit due to the CG, and are now stuck in "election" and are at risk of losing control of the system. They asked for help with the Election Data Courier missions.

Any reason why my carrier's market data on inara is always the black market and never the regular commodity market?

NateSomersAny reason why my carrier's market data on inara is always the black market and never the regular commodity market?

Yes, because of Frontier's bug where the black market data are overriding regular market in their API endpoint. Please add your report here: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/18892
Meanwhile, the simplest solution is to temporarily suspend the black market. More complicated solution is to update the market similar as regular stations via EDMC, etc. but that requires your presence on the carrier.
