Alphabetical list is also amusing. The two particular rows for AspS and Type-10.
Edit: The Vanadium story is a prime example of giving recommendation for a problem without context.
Yes, for someone who have max engineered ship and needs to max raw materials, crystalline shards is better solution than for one who just need few mats to level up engineering access in which case finding a nearby landable body with geological features and high deposit of the material with Eddb is more effective.

SakashiroThis is the problem with guides: People follow them without thinking.
That's what I was trying to say

The PvE wiki isn't bad, but some of its recommendations just don't work for me. For example, I have yaw on the keyboard, and that makes aiming fixed weapons very difficult. Therefore gimballed weapons on a faster ship like the Mamba serve me better than fixed ones on a slower ship with good convergence.

EpisparhGimbled weapons on Mamba are the right choice but because of its hardpoints convergence.
That's just a different way of saying, the Mamba is a bad choice because it sucks with fixed weapons.

What stars are you plotting on O.B.A.F.G.M.K. or you skip M?

EpisparhNot exactly, you said that you suck at aiming because odd key binding choice.
It's not odd, it's the default keybinding. Roll and pitch is on the mouse.

Slice of LifeQuick question - I have a 77Ly jump Anaconda (spent age getting there) but on my recent journey to colonia I didn’t jump beyond 68ly? My fuel is low so taking me to 74lyand wondering what is going on or if I am missing something? I appreciate that not every jump will be at the top end but especially when I get to the galactic centre I would assume the stars would allow for most of them to be 70+ ly jumps. Any advice? Thanks and much appreciated
The route plotter always calculates with the jump range of a completely refueled ship. If you want to jump further, you have to plot manually.

Yes, and a courier is perfect ship for mining. /s

Ahhh - that might be it - I have several spare fuel tanks for being in sparsely populated star systems on the rim but never fill them up unless I need to. I have always wondered if there was a way to switch off fuel tanks but couldn’t find one - som

EpisparhHm, maybe it is something with the route plotter. For Colonia I usually use neutron plotter and the jumps are usually almost the maximum range of FSD cone boost.
What stars are you plotting on O.B.A.F.G.M.K. or you skip M?
I skip M but still wonder how there can’t be any stars further away than 68ly - someone else has commented that it may be the route planner plots my route with a full fuel tank (I have big ones for when I need them but dont fill them up).
muldiniany cargo or limpets ? 4c fueltank should be large enough. reduced jump range in galaxy map?
Thanks and no limpets or cargo. I have spare fuel tanks that I don’t fill unless I am in a sparse area. I’ve been told the route plotter plans based on a full fuel tank so that might be it. Thanks for the comment.
