KurakilWhy are suit livery items so expensive?

Because Servers cost money to keep running
Praise Braben Buy Arx

I guess I will just have to wait another year since I have several other arx related things higher up on the list.

(~52 weeks *400) + 3300 Holiday Bonus ≈ 24100 arx per year.

How many power capacitors on a Megaship does one have to blow out to disable it for say , one week, like say I wanted to stop it from jumping , is there a possible way to delay its travels for a while

No. They jump every week or two weeks during the maintenance for weekly tick.

AFAIK, destroying power generators only disable turrets temporary.

Oh , well I mean its not like I was intending on attacking the Testa... any megaships or anything

But I mean if one had wanted to delay such a vessel it would have been nice to allow such an option
oh well

I mean I am trying to find non-violent solutions where we can to things anyway

Just copy the flight plan Usually, it is just one jump away.


Alternatively, you can bookmark the megaship here on Inara.

Cmdrs,

I have a questions about thermal vent special effect on beam lasers. I know that special effects are not stackable but if you install it on more that one laser and if one of them is missing the target but the second one is on the target would the thermal vent become active on it? Thanks

Yes, every Beam laser is calculated individually, so each does it's own heat management.

Keep in mind, beams that miss the target will heat up your ship a little more then usual,
but I have Thermal Vent on (as far as I remember) all my "damage" beams.
And I think the Thermal Vent effect is pretty helpful, especially in shorter ranges / at higher damage.

That's the answer, I was looking for. Thank you

I have another question. If you were intercepted by 2 ships: elite anaconda and elite T10 defender with which one would you be fighting first?

Shg56~~~which one would you be fighting first?

Personal opinion:
I'd take out the T10 first.
They are easier to hit, have lesser shield most of the time and eventually lower hull.

So they go down pretty quick and easy.

AND the T10 usually has better / more weapons, so the T10 would probably deal more damage / is the bigger threat.

Yeah. Thermal vent is what I default to on beam lasers. They just emit too much heat otherwise. Just really wish I could engineer them for both efficient and long range. Then I'd just be running around with flying lightsabers everywhere.

Same. It's the only one that makes sense to me unless it is for some specialist build.

They just overheat you too quickly otherwise. That and they eliminate the need for heat sinks.
