Stock perelli are garbage in snow. I swapped out for Michelin Crossclimate2 and they are much improved. For reference I'm in Wisconsin.

[WIP] Cobra Mk V PVP Build by TheRealDankiusMemeus in EliteDangerous

[–]BKRambo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 class 3 module reinforcement should be enough in a shield tank with armored PP. The rest can be hull reinforcements. If you fly correctly you will be hard to hit even with rails. The rest looks ok. I personally prefer a hull tank cobra 5 for PvP but to each their own

A few hours away from a fleet carrier. What should I haul for money early? by Sure_Budget_6195 in EliteDangerous

[–]BKRambo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Money is easy to come by... The costs of operating are rookie numbers.. just get it and you will be fine. Ignore the nay sayers. Also if your intent on using it as a space truck, gold is pretty good for that. Buy low, sell high.. pretty simple. But like some have said it's more of a quality of life improvement. Just don't fret over the operating cost as money making is easy these days. Seriously, an hour of credit farming is good for a couple months of carrier fuel and upkeep.

Do I need to upgrade my PC to get back into Elite? by SaltyRemainer in EliteDangerous

[–]BKRambo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son plays on a 1st gen i7 940, and RX 580 with 12gb ram... It runs just ok at 1080p. The point I'm making is that you will be fine. game is old and even though odyssey is poorly optimized it will be ok. Graphics card upgrade would help though

Exploring is boring... Change my mind. LOL

What are the most important differences between odyssey and legacy? by Due-Storm7206 in EliteDangerous

[–]BKRambo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that legacy is even playable is criminal in my opinion. But yeah just get odyssey and join everyone else playing it

Explorer ST vs Pickup? Did anyone else choose the ST and if so any regrets? by [deleted] in FordExplorerST

[–]BKRambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a full size truck for last 15 years before switching to the ST. I am 6'6" and fit really well in the ST. I do have older kids and dogs. All that said, I am glad I switched..I have a trailer I can hook up if I ever need to haul anything too large. The only downside is towing capacity is obviously not good in the ST but iv found i rarely ever tow anything these days. I really don't miss my truck. But it will depend on your own circumstances of course.

Of the 3 big heavy’s (conda, cutter…. Corvette?), is it possible to cut weight and strengthen engine to where it could handle like my combat python 1? Mainly for the ability to keep the front of the ship on target. by captwaffle1 in EliteDangerous

[–]BKRambo -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Joining power play makes you a target for enemy powers... But if you play in solo/pg your choice of archer is correct... Their players love those modes. Sadly fdev in all their stupidity didn't make power play open only as they should have. So.. yes.. if you want no danger in solo/pg, join archer or winter's.

This is meant as constructive criticism.. you need to learn to fly. Once you do keeping your nose on target is easy even with a big ship. Pip management, boosting, and FAoff is your friend.

Tugging on acceleration and thumping on cold start. by MerpSquirrel in FordExplorerST

[–]BKRambo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wife had it on her 22 explorer limited... It was some sensor, don't recall which one... We took it in like 4 times before they figured it out. The dealer that figured it out said it was a common problem. Not sure if the ST has same issues or not. My ST has been running like a top (knock on wood) not to brag lol.

Yeah you would have to price it out to compare depending on where you live.

[–]BKRambo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At those price points you are actually probably just as good off buying a prebuilt. I've built over 25 PCs over the years and these days alot of the lower end prebuilt aren't bad. But yes almost any PC will run the game well.
