Amata LireinToday's GALNET...
Conspiracy theorists give me a headache in RL already, so this better leads up to something good
Yeah, stuff like this makes me feel alright with waiting for the Odyssey stuff to come out on console (PS4, in my case).

EpisparhYou can get both rewards in this CG. It looks like wrecken will reach tier 1. So, 1-1.5k for top 10% and then just enough to enter 75% for torval.
Eh, that's a lot of effort for bleck rewards. To me, the Long Range Abrasion Blaster is only interesting because it's unique. The LR aspect is marginally useful considering you want to be close to pick up the stuff anyways. But better to have it than not?
As for the Mining Laser. Long Range will increase its power draw and weight by 30% ish so it's even less desirable for its only real use case: Long range exploration material mining.
I was heading back to the Bubble anyways, but I don't think I'll put any more coal in the fire for this event. Even if I make it back in time the only way I participate is if I happen to not have sold all the silver in my FC.

The mining laser is 1D. Even with long range the lances are better. But size one mining lasers are a niche - small mining ships that do not have size 2 hardpoints and long range explorers(yes, I use lances on my exploration ships for material gathering from rocks). For mining builds 2d laser equals 1D x 3 and is more efficient power draw to yield wise.
Both modules are pretty useless.

For example, shot speed on the abrasion blaster is 3,333 m/s. And the mining laser has a 2.5km range with lower power and distributor draw than a standard laser.
I'm not saying this means that they're suddenly "must have" items, but just in case anyone's interested!

EpisparhThe LR increases also projectile velocity from 667 to 1334 m/s. An aspect of LR that everyone forget. At the ranges this thing is used it will be hard to miss anything with double speed.
Hmm, the speed increase would have helped but I've never had an issue with aiming with the blaster so didn't even think of it. Good point.
Co'hen MacBainThere's a post on the Frontier forum giving the stats for these mining modules - looks like they're fairly unique and not just double-engineered.

Thanks for linking that. Those stats are far better than just a Long Range modification would give. 5x the vanilla shot speed and range? Guess I'll get to shovelling coal then.
