Elite: Game talk

EpisparhBTW , the double engineered 5A FSD from last CG is distributed.

... and it is not as good as people describe it. It adds between 2-5ly jump range on my builds on the cost of more heat and reduced integrity. .. But then I do not have builds that are min-maxed for jump range.

.... decisions , decisions ... 0 , 5 or 10

Really?

That's quite important since I didn't get a chance to take part in the last CG so I'll be relying on the human tech broker. So, what engineer rating are you getting?

It is increased range + fast boot. Both affect optimal mass in positive way and thermal load and integrity in negative way. I will make a screenshots later with 5A increased range/ mass manager and 5A with double engineering and mass manager. Then I can link you builds with them in edsy of my Asp X or Phantom for comparison.

EDIT: actually you need just a build with the FSD for the different type of ships then you can experiment, compare whatever.

Builds with double engineered 5A FSD and mass manager experimental:

https://edsy.org/s/vPPAeBO - Orca
https://edsy.org/s/v9iUTyb - AspX
https://edsy.org/s/vd1YjaB - Python
https://edsy.org/s/vG1lw70 - Krait Mk2
https://edsy.org/s/vhaQIvI - Phantom
https://edsy.org/s/vrXZt6U - DBX

You can use those to check your builds with double and standard engineering by adjusting to your preferences.

To be added:
Any other if requested.

A 2-5 increase is all I need really to make me choose phantom over Jumpaconda, though increased heat is somewhat worrisome. Hurm. Curious as to thoughts from other explorers here.

Added builds for Phantom and DBX.

Where can I go to pay my Sirius Corp fines? I went to Spirit of Laelaps and Patterson Enterprise and I was not allowed to pay the fines.

Anyone?

Try in the station nearby Patterson Enterprise. ... and there is always an option to go to different system controlled by them or using interstellar factors - the nearest being in LFT 926.

26 Feb 2021, 4:19pm

Nope, already went there and is in RED, not allowing me to pay the fine.

Delkar has a station with an interstellar factor authority contact that works faction/galaxy wide, if you're desperate.

Check if you have notoriety in your right panel bellow your credits and rebuy.
If it is different than 0 you need to wait it to wear down - takes 2h game play for 1 level.

Thank you will try that!!!!

No luck, went to both stations in Delkar and althought not showing me WANTED, it did not let me pay my fines.

That's damn useful Epi. I'd need to work with it on my phantom as the 8% thermal rise, increase of 14% power use and drop of 2ly jump range don't look good but you're using a different set of engineering from me.

Exactly. If I can push the phantom to 70ly that would be plenty but I don't want to have to counter that with the added weight of a heatsink.

On the topic of CG - I think I've just been totally stupid. Am I right in thinking that you can hand in ALL bounty to sirius for use in CG? So, the 30mill I've just cashed in as part of a separate 3-day stacked massacre mission at home before setting out I could have waited and cashed in as part of the CG?

EpisparhI use a PvE vette with elite SLF pilot.

...and hurry, as by the way it is going I can tell you that it will be over by Monday morning.

They've added 3 more Tiers so it won't be finished by the end of the week. You can take your time now
