Sigh, I will go to He Bo to check.

EpisparhThe CG rewards were distributed.... The type-6 is NOT 0cr.
Oh, that's a bummer. Is it valued the same as if one bought it?
Edit: I'm just being lazy, I will go see for myself.

EpisparhI am more concerned that you use Mamba with sustained damage weapons. It is pass / boom ship.
With the way I've set up the lasers, there isn't much sustained damage. I have 90 dps for 6 seconds. That just about covers the time between a target coming into range and passing by. By the time I'm taking the next pass, the lasers are ready to fire again. It's almost perfectly balanced. I just need to control myself and not fire too early, while the target is still in the damage falloff zone.

EpisparhThe CG rewards were distributed.... The type-6 is NOT 0cr. ...or is it ... I get 12k transfer fee but Inara shows it as 0cr... perhaps it is the modules.
Transfer menu shows some credits for transferring or ~940k from "remote sell", so it's not 0 cr.

Yeah, I saw the bad news at my base. Gonna pay about 11K to transfer it. I guess there was nothing special about this T-6 other than it was free (but not zero credits).

Maybe it's the cost of stock modules though.

That would be awesome, but I'm not optimistic about our chances.

Indeed the Alliance reward is pure trash.

EpisparhSold all modules. It is regular type-6. Not even discounted one. I will keep it for 1-2 weeks and then dump it.
Indeed the Alliance reward is pure trash.
They should have made the reward, a Type-8. Now, THAT would be something!

BurstarIf it makes you feel any better the Clipper and FAS rewards were the same and those required real effort.
Oh boi, that hurts!
Well...I will draw a circle around my FC and then that junk goes where it belongs.

SakashiroRapisI did a test, threat 6 wing-kill missions, opponent Python or FDL + 2 or 3 Vultures
Ship Mamba - hull Military Grade Composite + heavy duty G4 alternately Mirrored Surface Composite without engineers. I did a few tasks and didn’t notice much difference. Hull healt 70 - 88%. An engineer could change the situation in favor of a mirror.
Your observation is correct. I was wrong about phasing sequence damage; it's actually absolute, so more or less thermal resistance won't make a difference.
I recently threw out the reactive surface armor and replaced it with heavy duty military grade. I also threw out all the HRPs (I can see Epi roll his eyes right now. ) and replaced them with Guardian SRPs, because when I played that threat level 6 wing mission, I ran out of shield long before I came even close to running out of hull. So for me at least it makes sense to make the shields as strong as possible. I don't have prismatics yet, but the SRPs (2x class 2 + 1x class 3) achieve almost the same effect. The downside is that their power priorities can't be configured; they're always on, so they're effectively always in priority group 1, even though the shield generator isn't.
i use shield cell bank ,, 4A, 3B and 2B as well as 3 shield boosters of which two are thermal resist and one resist augmented. Works well when using SCB on time
