DescartesTime to challenge myself;
Any tips for kitting out a Type 10 Defender may be for mining, with some fireproof bounty hunting?
This could be a good foundation for you. But expect Episparh to comment on this

-Knight-BluecrashIf one day they do add ship interiors and crew to certain ships, I hope they add animals too. That way, one of us can get you an actual in-game cat.
Wonder if the co-pawlets would have a rebuy cost. RE-PET
*LOL* That's a good one. Now we have to have that.
But that means you will incur a daily kitty litter maintenance expense. And the ARX store would have toys which will never be played with.

EpisparhBe sure to equip subsurface displacement missile alongside those mining lasers for tritium.
Wait, are you suggesting a multi-role build? What about specialization?
Actually I want to keep the pulse lasers, because killing a few pirates at the start of each mining session sets the right mood.
So I guess I'll make another build only for subsurface/core mining.17 Oct 2021, 9:20pm

I gave you as example my Dwarf few times. It is not multi-role, it is universal miner. What you do is multi-role , half miner , half PvE build. You can keep ignoring my advice but sub-surface mining of tritium is more lucrative and the minigame is more interesting than laser mining.
At the end it is up to you , I can only point the options.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Kane BlackburnAny interesting looking nebulas near Sag A* i could visit? thanks
The fleur de lys nebula is pretty and the Neutron nebula is -as the name suggests- full of neutron stars. Those are close to Sag A and each other. Check out the EDSM galactic map for locations of all nebulae but bear in mind, they are all fairly well explored by now.
Kane Blackburn Also, how can I add my portrait to Inara?
If you click on your own cmdr name and then 'edit' in the top menu.
Then go to Commander Settings and you can set your profile pic plus privacy settings etc.

I'm not ignoring your advice, I just refuse to treat mining and PvE as separate things when there are pirates in rings. I know they are scripted to appear only once at the beginning, and that's exactly what I hate about ED. Weapons should be necessary on a mining build; everything else breaks immersion.
If you mine in NMS, pirates can appear at any time, and you need to be prepared. You can't cheese your way around it. And I love that.

SakashiroIt's actually mind-boggling that carriers require one of the scarcest fuels in the galaxy while any other ship can just scoop fuel from stars.
It's far more annoying that carriers require manually plotting each individual jump, and if the tritium tank runs out, you have to manually take excess tritium out of storage and put it in the tank. I'm paying an upkeep charge to pay the crew on board. The carrier has a captain, and a fuel team. Why can't they do it? What am I paying them for?

Very good questions. What are we paying them for if they won't refill the tank?

quality of life update would be a passive FC fuel scoop. Trit at 50k a ton is not cheap... I am still not sure where to mine it from.
