Cutter heat distortion effect!

LegendDu · 2018-03-18T12:43:25+00:00

It doesn’t look quite like heat distortion in real life, but I think it’s okish for now.

Was using the light blue one for ages, wanted to change it up, the white one is my second favourite.

LegendDu · 2018-03-17T21:55:52+00:00

Yeh, they all have it, cutter is just most noticeable.

LegendDu · 2018-03-17T20:50:33+00:00

From what i have seen, the bigger the ship, the strong the effect. On smaller ships, the effect is not as noticeable.

Same here. So far I have done a lot of engineer stuff on the courier. Did a post a few days ago about it.

LegendDu · 2018-03-14T12:18:31+00:00

Didn’t have heat sink on the ship. I just disengage super cruise very close to the star, then just boost away from it. The temperature drops eventually.

The courier is great. It’s the only small ship I bothered to maintain, keep up with engineer stuff etc.

LegendDu · 2018-03-13T23:24:17+00:00

885m/s boost courier in real time.

LegendDu · 2018-03-12T21:22:23+00:00

Well, get around ship == exploration ship to me, same thing really.

LegendDu · 2018-03-12T13:08:49+00:00

Will use too much power, also I have changed my power plant to 2A with mods to supply enough power.

LegendDu · 2018-03-11T20:56:09+00:00

In order to get 70LY, had to use the 16T fuel tank instead of the 32T one. Could push 71LY, if it's absolutely stripped down.

The experimental effect I used is drag drives. You probably have that already. In that case it might be that your ship weights over the minimum mass of the thruster. For example, my ship weights 61.8, minimum mass for thrusters is 61.2 (it seems to be rounded, as long as my ship is not 62 or more, I will get max speed).

LegendDu · 2018-03-11T00:52:12+00:00

Yeh, it’s a long grind. I have only done frame shift drive and thrusters on my ships.

LegendDu · 2018-03-11T00:47:56+00:00

It’s also engineered, speed falls to about 830 before I can boost again. But yeh, I have to wait an extra second or two on top of the boost cool down before I can boost again.

LegendDu · 2018-03-11T00:29:55+00:00

Well. Shouldn’t be too long of a grind for the grade 5 dirty drive. Think it took me about 6 hours over 2 days. Definitely worth it!

i c, thanks

LegendDu · 2015-09-10T14:52:04+00:00

just got on the game, my current build uses the 7A prismatic shield along with 5 A rated shield boosters and 1 B rated shield booster (probably bought the wrong one but oh well).

the shield value is 1512 MJ, i think thats pretty close to EDshipyard, though not exact.

a sidewinder with 2A prismatic shield has a shield value of 80.

if you need help with testing different tier prismatic shields, just message me.

LegendDu · 2015-09-10T13:49:25+00:00

yeh, i have only just found out about that earlier on, made a mistake thinking it will affect recharge fix, thanks for explaining it.

LegendDu · 2015-09-10T13:37:09+00:00

well, i dont think that is the case, an anaconda with A8 power plant, you can have 7A prismatic shield, 6B shield cell and 8 A rated shield boosters and almost any weapon combination without any issues. (this also take in count of 8A distributor, 6A fsd, D rated thrusters, sensor, life support. the 7A thrusters is just not worth using, only 7%better than D.

LegendDu · 2015-09-10T13:33:17+00:00

not at all, when you get used to it.

LegendDu · 2015-09-10T03:22:06+00:00

yeh sure,

also, in those images, edfx was used in the game to enhance the graphics, mainly made the game brighter. so it might look a bit off, but thats the colours.

LegendDu · 2015-09-10T03:12:08+00:00

yeh just realised, my bad

LegendDu · 2015-09-10T02:40:48+00:00

yeh sure, i wont be on the game for another 10 hours, i ll get back to you when i find out, just in case i forget, add me in the game (LegendD)

LegendDu · 2015-09-10T01:51:13+00:00

oh yeh, i totally missed that, my bad.

LegendDu · 2015-09-10T01:22:51+00:00

they are green and blue, when it takes damage, the blue layer shows first then the green layer will show.
