IrishdavoThe prob is not the fuel guys, the bigger issue is being at civil war and not being able to use any station. Is there a way around that? Thanks


No. If only there another station controlled by your faction/other minor faction. You will not be able to dock to main station untill your faction win war.

And to win war you just need to win more CZ then your opponents. If it's NPC faction it should not be hard. So only problem is outfitting/rearming. You can use station controlled by another fraction for this. Or move FC to some close, neutral system.

Just been to Haz RES in LHS 2065 and found it pretty tough going in my Krait. wings of gunships and clippers, deadly and elites. Kept losing my fighter and shields which made long term commitment tricky. I don't like people touching my hull. That's just rude.
So tried the High RES and in contrast, just couriers and sidey at expert and competent. I didn't even move pips from 2-2-2. Got bored before I could make enough cash.
So, need to find some middle ground or get good quick.



If this is the ship  that you use then I see why is the struggle. You better invest some time to unlock engineers and obtaining some materials. You also need to spend some time on the drawing board to refine your build.

E: D PvE Ccmbat Wiki has a nice engineered build for Krait Mk2. I suggest you start from it and tune it for your needs.

P.S. You can add me as friend and I can carry you through a Haz RES


Thanks Epi, I’ll give you a shout when I log in later tho I’ve never winged up before so don’t know how it works.

Anyhow. Yes, on the above. I have all engineers available but too lazy to collect mats for grade 4&5 so only my main ships get these. The krait is not my main combat ship but trying to train my puppy up.
The other thing I’ve not done is the guardian shields. Just can’t face that fucking SRV skimmer / tower ‘game’ again.

But yeah, that build is infinitely better than mine

SenglrAnyone having issues seeing your Goals in Inara or in the game? I just turned in over 3 mil in bounty and it does now show my progress.

I cannot check directly as your tokens expired today, but it's very likely an issue with the journal. I had the very same problem (I got the initial community goal join event there with 0 contributions and then no community goal events throughout the session at all (although I should). It should get updated at your next session start, in the worst case.

EpisparhArtie, all double engineered are listed as 0 cr  even the one bought from tech broker. I bought 4 and had one free from CG ... all of them are 0 CR, in game they are shown as increased range only but stats are different.

Yeah, unfortunately, it's not very reliable identifier as the module buy price is missing in the ship loadouts.

When you add Mass Manager to this newly unlocked doubled engineered FSD 5A, these things actually really rock!
I'm currently putting all of these into my all FSD 5a ships.

As I (mis) understand it. RES (HIGH) refers to high security, so RES(LOW) will be the middle ground that you seek?

No, other way round. The low to high is representative of risk (lvl of threat). A RES with no lvl at all can be thought to lie in between.
Above high RES is haz which is hazardous - because the rozzas don’t help out.
The equivalent is the compromised nav beacon. There is such a zone in Sirius.

There's also RES (Med) medium threat, as I recall.

Risk and reward rises from left to right :

RES(low) < RES < RES(high) < RES(hazardous)

Honestly, there is no point in going in anything bellow (high). When free E: D was given on Epic store, I went to High RES with the srarting sidewinder and came out with few mil just after 30 min. This was prior combat payouts buff.

CG just hit tier 5 and would be over if Frontier didn't rised the bar to tier 8

Scarlet copse produce with a kill-warrant scanner.
Includes an Anaconda which can't undock from the station until they cleaned out all the heist.
Sign up as soon as the help request comes in and beware of the second wave.

Just seen that in-game the CG FSDs do indeed have a value of 0 Cr. Quite nice for rebuys. Also due to this, they can be transferred to any other station for just the base amount of 100 Cr, probably even to Colonia.

Thanks to Epi for an enjoyable wing session in the haz RES today. That vette of his can move and it was fun to take out the occasional clipper and conda as well as the more common dropship and aspX.
I think I only shouted 'Aaargh!' and ran for cover once, but Epi was quick to cover my ass.
Cheers.
