SakashiroRebuy is down to 4.2M, cargo space up to 776. One haul = two rebuys + a little extra.
LOL! Insanely cheap rebuy. I had forgotten how expensive the big scoops are (despite recently laughing myself off the chair when I had to buy an 8A - it cost more than the Cutter)

Sir Sprockettis there any way that we can find out how many kills an individual ships has scored. I know my total, but ship by ship score?


It can be compiled from the logs with a script. But I'm not aware of any 3rd party tool that does it already.

Well what I have worked out and not just in this CG but in my general trucking and trading, is that if you kill off the pirates as and when they jump you (in the same session) i find that i have cleared my trading route of threats. SO can truck happily along. My last session, doing this CG, I killed one pirate but 2 got away on a scrap of hull and then nothing for 2 hrs of trucking....

Am I just imagining things or is the system chat (at least in Sirius) lagging really badly right now?

Haha, the 8A fuel scoop is "cheap" compared to the reactive surface composite armor for the Cutter. That will set you back a mere 492 million credits.

System chat is always unreadable in CG systems. I barely can follow who talks about what.

... Too sad people ignore local chat...  I am tempted to blow someone... Last retard I've seen was flying shieldless Phantom with SCA and ADC and only cargo racks.

8A fuel scoop for cutter is lame unless you use it for exploration.(I've used one while flying one of my haulers to Colonia)

... Reactive surface composite is very unwise for a cutter - too heavy, too expensive. The abysmal gain in resistance and hull do not wort it on a shield tank.

So you would go lightweight + HRP instead?

Yes, lightweight g5 + HRPs. If you use reactive, you need one HRP to be thermal resistant instead of heavy duty. Still better hull and overal resistance but not enough to compensate the added weight and price.

... With lightweight you can expect -800 raw armor and -1200/-1600 values for different resistances on a cutter... But that's negligible to the MJ values ( even if size 6 shield generator is used)

Ha, yes I can well imagine. I just put reactive armour on my Conda a week or so back, and it doubled the rebuy in one click

I just needed to get somewhere in a hurry and the scoop made that much less painful. I sold it on arrival

Yeah, I still have the cheapo original armor on my cutter just upgraded to g3 HD, but so far, I've just used it for cargo. I did splurge for the reactive surface composite on my Vette though - no regrets.

I've made the same noob mistake on my 1st PvE vette.

This is how it looks like. vs How I would build it now.

The diff is just Reactive/Lightweight and lowest HRP  thermal resistant/heavy duty.

In matter of fact I did made clone of Resolution in Colonia - Reprisal.

That's wonderful. I just ran the numbers on edsy and my noob build has better total effective armor resistances across the board than the one you would build now.
