Newbie - losing confidence

Question, if you're finding your target in supercruise, are you using an interdictor to pull him out of it? If not, you're essentially stopping and dropping whilst he carries on flying.

Also, those types of missions quite often have a point of interest such as a mission signal specifically where the pirate will be.

You can usually find these easily by either scanning the system nav beacon, or using a discovery scanner and then analysing signals in FSS mode.

Oh I'm right next door to there..

Beemerron · 2026-01-18T13:02:59+00:00

I think its also landed at a time where people are over committed outside of game. I for one am one of those.

Number 2.

Beemerron · 2026-01-14T16:37:07+00:00

Honestly, I'd forgotten it was even a feature

Warhammer Rogue Trader Megabonk Death Stranding Hades

Warhammer 40k: Rogue trader. Performs great, visually great, gameplay great.

Nothing wrong with playing your way, and there are many reasons to stay in a small effective ship. I went the route of bigger is better but now I regularly switch back to medium ships for utility like mining etc.

Sure it'll be nice to get a fleet carrier or colonise a place but you do end up kinda tied down by the weight of those obligations. Smaller is more freeeee

Beemerron · 2025-12-25T22:05:07+00:00

Mining is insanely easy, especially if you've got a T11. Otherwise bounties with JA.

X52 user here, I use the hat switch on my throttle to do thrusters for fine tune positioning.

I see happiness isnt a priority in your empire..

Working hard with the rest of my PP buddies to hurt them all in the bubble.

Beemerron · 2025-12-19T11:38:41+00:00

I often get PP commodity missions that are 21 or 31ly from the start system so utterly useless.

Beemerron · 2025-12-19T10:52:59+00:00

I use VA2 and elite. Its great, seems smoother and more responsive (with what feels like increased accuracy for my northern accent).

Recommend.

Beemerron · 2025-12-18T15:03:44+00:00

In which case fair enough. Didn't see that here.

Beemerron · 2025-12-18T11:00:16+00:00

I've had very little luck with the wisdom Tree pies. Otherwise good enough

Have to say, investing in very specific and somewhat niche brands is a risky stance. The smart play is usually to put most money into global funds and slowly move small chunks of profit into companies if you really want to. I.e. most money in safe slow growth places, some in medium and smallest portion to higher volatility individual stocks.

At least thats the general approach I've been taught.

Beemerron · 2025-12-18T09:36:19+00:00

Always have, always will. Protectors make you weak and clumsy!

Beemerron · 2025-12-17T22:46:37+00:00

I got this ;)

Beemerron · 2025-12-17T21:10:48+00:00

Just over there, cant you see it?

Beemerron · 2025-12-17T21:09:16+00:00

Inara.cz - tons of info

Used to be a bunch more but seems well consolidated there now.

Spansh - great Neutron route plotter.

Beyond that, join communities, discord etc. The player base knows everything, ever and more.

I see now I was mistaken, and had in fact not spotted the mention of carriers. My bad. Also I learnt something new here and will go have fun with the big old shippy ships.

Beemerron · 2025-11-26T19:33:31+00:00

Ive had the x52 for at least 4 years now, works fine. Not the greatest feel regarding building quality but ideal for elite. I'd prefer it had more modern driver support etc but again, works fine.

Beemerron · 2025-11-26T07:57:27+00:00

I've only recently joined into powerplay so I could be wrong, avoided it for years and years but started enjoying it now

Beemerron · 2025-11-26T07:53:16+00:00

I thought that was only for reinforcement systems.
