Currently loading up the Galactic Dawn [V1N-GVQ] with Liquor for a booze cruise run to Rackham's Peak later this month or early August in time for the Public Holiday. I will be posting a specific departure date in the FCOC channel #110 as well as here in the near future. Any CMDRs wanting to see the "Peak" of the Plane are welcome. Med or Small ships only.

I'm loading up 4 carriers with wine for this as well. First time I'll have gone there. Anything I'll need to know? If the system is full of carriers before I get there, is there a way to know when a carrier is leaving the system so as to try and get in before someone else does?

Why not large ones? Just curious.

This will be my first trip there as well. Not sure about knowing when a carrier is leaving, so I'll probably go early to secure a spot in system.

Rackham's Peak is an Outpost sized station and I currently do not have a shipyard or outfitting on my Carrier. Probably will after the run.

Ah, that makes sense.

Light-HawkThink the only way FDev will be able to get me to open my wallet again would be if they let me buy a Majestic Class. And we all know how likely that's going to be.


Yeah, as well as possibility of purchasing Farragut and Cobra Mk IV...

You're not missing much with the Cobra MKIV.
23 Jul 2021, 9:32am
I know, just wanted it to complete ships collection.
Beside that, it would be a quite good Odyssey dropship and it looks good.

Moreover, it has much better hardpoints convergence than MkIII, making it better while using dumbfire missiles in small slots during settlements bombing.

XGN BlazeShadowAny idea on how to hitch a ride to Colonia?

There is also one heading there on the 27th from Athena

What's your plan for avoiding the trafficjam?

I have settled on the Cobra Mk IV as my go-to EDO settlement raider. It’s not fully optimised yet but it is good for the task. I’m just pleased to have found a worthwhile role for a ship I previously under-valued.

My recent goto settlement ship is my vulture. Yesterday, I recalled it to pick me up under fire of authority wing of chieftain and two vipers. The shields went down when I was in the cockpit but I have survived the encounter with just 5% hull drop. No cobra can do that.

It's quite obvious that Vulture is better in almost every aspect compared to Cobras, just look at shields/armour values and hardness. But Vulture is basically a medium ship squeezed to small dimensions, it's hull mass is comparable to many medium ships. Vulture is the best small combat ship in game, I will not waste its potential to become a dropship
