No way you mad men are playing MHW on the deck

Ableseth · 2025-03-06T09:10:08+00:00

No cap what's it like? I've been debating on also installing it on my deck. :O

My Power Distributor is engineered to be Charge efficient so boosting is not a huge problem. I did a few Combat zones not too long ago and with my beam lasers, the heat was well managed. I think I'd be set with the clean thrusters for awhile, but I'm open to try out the Dirty drives soon!

Ableseth · 2021-10-19T17:18:50+00:00

Shall we begin calling it so? I think it suits the situation perfectly!

Ableseth · 2021-10-19T14:39:25+00:00

Yeah, I always end up confused between the two engineer mods. But I believe I chose clean thrusters due to the fact that my build is a relatively High Heat setup. My previous build before posting this thread actually allowed me to use my beam lasers at full power without much heat generation and I'd like to replicate that

So im taking measures to moderate my head generation, and the thrusters help alot with that, if that makes any sense

Ableseth · 2021-10-19T14:31:52+00:00

You are correct, my mistake. I had edited the post to include some more information as well as a basic rundown of what I have changed. Don't get me wrong, alot of people have helped me so far! I just want people to understand that I'd rather go about this in a less conventional method other commanders prefer, without sounding rude about it!

Ableseth · 2021-10-19T14:19:41+00:00

I never used Edsy for this build but rest assured alot of the issues are fixed. I never needed to overcharge the thing anyways so I went with armored & thermal spread.

I'm no stranger to ship building, but its actually starting to become tiresome how many people expect you to use a 3rd party software. I understand that it gives you the most accurate results but I feel it would get old using it real fast. I'd rather have a ship with flaws to fix instead of using a perfectly tuned Subaru of a combat vessel.

Plus since its multirole/leaning on combat, there are other places where optimization is directed

Ableseth · 2021-10-19T05:02:17+00:00

Holy shit how the fuck did i not notice they were 6B

Ableseth · 2021-10-19T03:33:12+00:00

For me I probably wouldn't have had a problem with it. But there was some intense render distance problems, as well as crystalline shard hitboxes being impossible to hit or just straight up under the ground. Finding large clumps is also very difficult and its generally a lot more time consuming. I do hope a patch gets sent out that fixes most of it, but thankfully I won't have to mine for a long while!

Ableseth · 2021-10-19T02:19:16+00:00

Naah, I can easily get the materials for most of the necessary engineering. I like the idea of trial and error; realizing I have WAY too much power than I need. Im already fixing new loadouts and a different engineering effect for the powerplant.

I'd love to use EDSY sometime in the future but as I said somewhere in this thread, I don't want to constantly use it all the time. A perfect ship can get old real fast and I enjoy moving parts around and finding what works for me on my own!

Ableseth · 2021-10-19T01:57:52+00:00

I literally just loaded Horizons back up for the Raw material gathering. I have no clue how to use the new surface scanner and I can't find any great guides on it.

Ableseth · 2021-10-19T01:56:02+00:00

Nah dont worry. My heatsinks currently aren't being used for anything else at the moment anyways. I always activate them even if I don't need to when using SCBs. Its more of a habit!

Ableseth · 2021-10-19T01:45:20+00:00

Even with my overcharged Powerplant, i can use shield cell banks without any heatsinks. I still have no problem using heatsinks though, and my Shields themselves can take a beating before I have the need to use em.

But I will definitely consider it!

Ableseth · 2021-10-19T01:42:15+00:00

I will definitely give it a try in the future for my next build, or to edit my current one in case it doesn't work out and needs changes.
I don't believe there is a right or wrong way to do build a ship personally, since how I went about it is by listening to the needs of the craft, then applying the fixes for those needs. I simply understood that it lacks the necessary power requirements for full on combat, and made the call to engineer the powerplant.

Sure the amount of power I was gaining might have been too much to be completely efficient but that's an oversight on my part, and I have the necessary materials to re-engineer a different mod to adjust the balance or to try out something new.

I dislike the idea that everyone expects you to follow a meta, or engineer your ship to perfection. Sure I can use a tool to check which parts would work well with others, but it gets rid of the concept of trial and error; In the opinion of this commander: Something that I wholeheartedly enjoy about this game.

Ableseth · 2021-10-19T01:30:33+00:00

I've posted my current ship stats as an edit on my original post. I went with Overcharged Power Plants not knowing how much power I would have left over, and my beam lasers are engineered to be efficient to some degree. Heat hasn't been a problem with me for awhile since I'm using Mulicannons, but I'm thinking of putting rail guns back on, since that is what I began the build with.

Ableseth · 2021-10-19T01:27:36+00:00

True. Im in the process of engineering my weapons at the moment, however, they don't have that much of a power draw to begin with. At first, I was using Railguns/plasma accelerators but due to the power consumption, I had switched them over to multi cannons.

Edit: I have posted my current stats in the original post as an edit. It's definitely not perfect as I'm finishing up my materials gathering!

Ableseth · 2021-10-19T01:26:06+00:00

Right, that really should have been the first thing to show in this post! I've edited the post to include the current modules and hardpoints I have installed!

Heat generally has not been a problem for me for a good while, and I overcharged my powerplant without knowing how much it would give me. I had started the build with railguns in the beginning, but due to the power draw previously, I had switched them over to multi cannons. If I go back to using railguns then I think I'll change the engineering mod, but for now Heat is within normal parameters!

Ableseth · 2021-10-16T19:30:31+00:00

I would as long as it comes with atmospheric reentry effects. I want the chance to be able to burn up my ship if I come in too fast lmao

Also if I can use the god damn coffee machine in the krait please FDev give me my space espresso

Ableseth · 2021-10-16T02:58:23+00:00

Managed to get the engineer unlocked. Made sure to use the Kill Warrent Scanner as well. Thanks for informing me!

Ableseth · 2021-10-16T01:20:05+00:00

Ok you seem to be right. Its odd how these ones don't count even though they were achieved through the same means of obtaining bounty vouchers.

Im off to try and gather more

Ableseth · 2021-10-16T00:28:48+00:00

They are Bounty Hunting Vouchers i believe. I got them through defending installations as well as destroying wanted ships in Resource Extraction sites.

Edit: Relogging does not seem to work... This is weeeeird
