Elite: Game talk

(add: I don't have access to the Patreus stuff and wait for PP 2.0 to decide if I should get into it)
The FDL and also Python MK II are ideal for Denton Patreus plasmas. On the Imperial Cutter I use a weapon-oriented energy distributor that has more power. However, the shields no longer reload as quickly. I alternate between flying with FA off and aiming with FA on. With the FA off, the cumbersome imperial cutter can be turned and turned better. The FDL and the Python MK II are simply better. But with six modified Guardian Plasmas, the Imperial Cutter simply does more damage.

Atusia DuvalAh, good to know! How is the Cutter handling then? I know it's ok-ish with FA off and G5 Dirty Drag Drives, but you need to align shots well, don't you? I can manage with my FdL, not sure how my Cutter would work for me.
Its way too heavy for combat (200 t more than a Corvette), mine handles like a whale, I use her as an armed hauler but I wouldn't take her to a CZ.
She has more base armour and base shield than the Corvette but at the end of the day for my style, it's about time on target and my Corvette is way more maneuverable (40.48/108.42/11.56); in a CZ and doesn't drift much.
The only time I struggle with her is trying to keep the piper on Vulture and Viper Mk IV when they boost in a turn and it doesn't last long, after than, the firepower is what matters.
Other than that, Shield management is important but never a problem, I know people can like the Cutter but they don't suit me, I wouldn't take one in Combat.
Atusia Duval but you need to align shots well, don't you?
That...
It took me time to find the right balance between Shield and Hull tank and maneuverability, I reduced weight as much as I could and stopped when I was happy with Pitch and Yaw rates, Roll is OK.

Kasumi GotoAnd system colonization. I literally just tuned into the stream when they began talking about it (I think).
99.99% sure it will be yet another time and CR/mats sink.

I have one good idea in mind which would be suitable to this colonizing thing, but I likely wouldn’t do it alone.

I missed this so tell me?
- Will we set up shop in a new system
- build a station, (space or ground)
- Then install a Theme Park and a Zoo we can manage.

Hmm, maybe there will be a use for all of the currently useless building schematics I've been hoarding for some strange reason.

HaraldsenI need a big sign to plant it on the new space station to be:
"NO TRESPASSING / BEGGING AND PEDDLING PROHIBITED / NO THARGOIDS"
That is just going to invite the Thargoids in for a look, now that we convinced them we’re more than a mere nuisance on the sidelines while trying to look important.

Maybe call them something like Planet Coaster and Planet zoo?

I don’t have all the details off the top of my head (it’s 4 AM and I woke up spontaneously for some bathroom relief, now wasting some brain energy to floor myself on the pillow again), but it seems like you’ll ‘request’ for a system to be colonized, then some stuff/ships will arrive in it and begin building things in it when you provide the materials (I don’t know whether this is specifically just cargo or includes other stuff)…
… I don’t think we will be putting down any theme parks and rollercoasters yet however. The details are a bit sparse as of right now, apparently it will be 4 station ‘variants’ to pick from, and it will initially be independent of both BGS and Powerplay (but they can potentially move into it later).

Possibly, it would be (maybe) good to have some of the ubiquitous Odyssey filler items actually serve a purpose, but we all know why it was added as filler (to make it less likely for you to find a thing you actually want).
