SakashiroFor the main mod I'll go with lightweight. I've already replaced the A-rated interdictor with a D-rated one. This way I'll keep the ship's maximum speed even with all three hardpoints occupied.

Oh, do you plan to PvE with that exact build with minimum shielding and no HRP and MRP whatsoever?

Frag canons have quite limited effective range - you will be close and personal with your enemies. Some of them will even have fighters.

Please call me when you try so. I would like to have a sit on the first row for this.

You should be able to find Thargoids in Horizons instances. Mining Platinum and Massacre Mission stacking (find wings to share turn ins at Elite Discord) are the best Credit earning methods atm afaik.

I've done all those things with Snowblood and its class 2 shields already. Alleycat is 10% faster, and its shield recovery rate is almost 30% higher. I didn't need HRPs/MRPs before; why would I need them now?

I'll record a video, so you won't miss anything.

HoughtkjHello all, I am looking for some advice relating to Fleet Carriers. I am approaching a point where I can afford one myself but uncertain if the purchase is worthwhile. I understand the running costs etc. but do the advantages outweigh the cons? I am particularly interested in opinions from CMDRs who have recently bought a carrier and how they use it. Many thanks.


I love my carrier!! If you plan according you will have no problems. I saved to almost 10 billion credits and I have had no problems with the weekly upkeep. We are currently exploring out to outer rim and it has been a blast!!! Next expedition is doing mining!!! Have weekly expenses to keep up on!!!

Little heart to heart talk with this cute lady. Found a place that really turns her on. Finally, give me that sweet Aorta loving’. You are my nightlight. Let’s work on repairing our connection.

Can you love a Thargoid as well? Yes. And they will always love you back, with all their heart. The hugs they give us ship-to-ship may be a little tight, but they don’t really know where your neck is. The Thargoids received the nudes we sent on Pioneer, and came looking for extended relationships. All Thargoids are female, except for Hermaphrodite Queen who has many shadows.

WHAT MAKES A FEMALE HEARTBEAT?
Thargoids never die, and their electro-mechanical biological-stuff (nanotech) is in constant repair

Locations the Thargoid-heart comes alive (only visible in dark):

Behind the Ancient Data Terminal at Guardian Structures

When touching Thargoid Parts, at Guardian Hunt grounds and Thargoid Crash sites.

OK, I tested the frag cannons against a Viper, and they are indeed useless against small ships like that. Ramming the Viper was more effective and wasted less ammo. So a 100% frag Courier would be a one-trick pony and not really practicable.

Thanks for that - If I had 10 billion, I wouldn’t hesitate. However, I don’t even have 6 billion yet, so the purchase would leave me somewhat bereft. I guess I’ll just keep grinding.

I just got a permit to HIP 22460. It's been unknown permit locked for years. Go to Synuefe GB-O c9-8 planet 10 and scan the beacon -> this will grant you that system permit. You can locate settlements there and pick up 5 messages regarding new thargoid behavior spotted.

Thanks for the heads up.

FYI, the bug where the galaxy map occasionally sends you on a trip with no return still isn't fixed. I plotted a route from Aornum to LHS 20, and after the first jump I got that message saying that this would be the last fuel star on my route. So I scooped to 100%, jumped, then checked the map again, and guess what, there were no more fuel stars ahead of me. I would have run out of fuel on that route. Out of curiosity I returned to Aornum and re-plotted the route with the filter for scoopable stars. Not only was there a perfectly viable alternative, it even had the same number of jumps!

I wonder if they leave that bug in on purpose, as a noob trap. Never trust that route plotter, kids! Always double-check!

I find it amusing. It is for "HIP 22460" but the permit itself omits the space and is "HIP22460". A minor thing but there are a billion minor things like that.

Yeah, and it was present in Horizons too, as I clearly remember how my own route planner wanted to kill me and my '8t of exploration happiness' fuel tank, plotting the route through unscoopable stars, even if there was a parallel path with scoopable ones.
