If you want an ungankable ship, I can give you some tips.
That’s wonderfully gracious of you Help would be much appreciated.
Most ships in the game can be hardened against gank attempts, increasing your chance of survival to some extent, but if you want a 100% escape chance, there are two ship types that stand out, and both happen to be made by Gutamaya: the Imperial Cutter and the Imperial Courier.Etc g[/img]
I'm beginning to think you actually 'live' in the ED universe Sakashiro, how else you you can you gather so much invaluable knowledge?
and how did you make enough credits to buy and run a FC so fast ?

Jackalgas100I have a question, who's enemies of Aisling Duval? I'm pledged to her so I can get prismatic shields for Vigilante which is my Anaconda.
Hudson is ALD's primary competition. Power Play has these two going back-and-forth regularly and it also syncs with in game story/lore.

Yum Kaxhow did you make enough credits to buy and run a FC so fast ?
If not Tritium run CG, than Robigo mines in one week

It's very specific knowledge only. There are lots of activities in the game I know almost nothing about (e.g. AX combat).
Getting the credits for the carrier was pure luck with timing. A few weeks ago there was a CG that paid some 150M per shipment of tritium. And before I cleared my save, I got a carrier for only 3.5 billion, also because of a CG.

But many other players play only to have fun with goids and I respect them fully. I'm more PP player to fight for power who is currently weak. As soon They got stronger I switch power.
as long I see message like below (this case Li Yong-Rui I have some goal to play that day

But if you like trying to kill some goids... that what is written below Meowers nick is somehow best guide

Most ships in the game can be hardened against gank attempts, increasing your chance of survival to some extent, but if you want a 100% escape chance, there are two ship types that stand out, and both happen to be made by Gutamaya: the Imperial Cutter and the Imperial Courier. Both have excellent shield strength multipliers, i.e. they make the most out of any type of shield generator you equip. You can see this on build planning sites such as EDSY and Coriolis. The shield strength multiplier is a ship-specific hidden stat that cannot be changed; you can only see its effects. For example, if you put a class 3A shield generator into a Viper Mk III, you'll get 178.5 raw shield strength. Put the same generator into a Courier, and you'll get 340, almost twice as much, out of the box! And while the Viper has two slots for shield boosters, the Courier has four. Add some engineering to the mix, and you can easily build a ship you can boost straight into a planet or station without taking any hull damage whatsoever (aka. lithobraking).
The other trait that turns Courier and Cutter into excellent gank evaders is their ability to low-wake out of pretty much any situation. The Cutter can do it because it has one of the highest mass lock factors of all ships in the game. The Courier can do it because it is faster than any other ship that might mass-lock it, and those which do have the speed to keep up with a Courier simply don't have the firepower to wear down its shields before you are gone.
So, if you're interested, I can show you a few example builds. You'll need appropriate Imperial ranks to unlock those ships, and for the best results you'll need grade 5 access to a number of engineers. The Cutter also doesn't come cheap. But be aware, if you walk down that path and build those ships, gankers will hate you, call you funny names and kick you off their discords. Especially if you turn the tables, equip interdictors and start pulling them. They don't like that at all.
Ah yes, the ol' uno reverse trick

ZEN IndustriesKilling goids is for people who like that, for me is boring and not worth. Scouts gives me only 0.25 point of XP per kill, and full combat duration is about 3 minutes, killing cyclops is ok got 0.5 point per kill, combat duration 5-6 seconds, but finding solo cyclops is 10-20 minutes of flying, and cost me lots of guardian mats which I need later to grind... not worth time and money, Killing anything above cyclops for me is too much drag and time... I'm not combat pilot.
But many other players play only to have fun with goids and I respect them fully. I'm more PP player to fight for power who is currently weak. As soon They got stronger I switch power.

I read that so fast my brain said snort instead of short now I'm laughing.
22 Jul 2022, 8:17pm
What's short? Did I misspell something? I'm old and bit a blind, can't see what is wrong.
Ah snort in message hahahahaha
Actually now I'm look at picture and kinda become sure there is written "snort". More I look snortier it looks.
