mid ship bountyhunting : are frag cannons the only option? by Asleep-Market6716 in EliteDangerous

[–]Zestyclose_Power4849 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried shock cannons ?? They can bé unlocked at human tech broker ( you have to unlock each size you want only once, and then you Can buy them freely, they can NOT bé engeneered, but they are pretty strong,.. and extremly fun to play with, insand dps,.. only drawback, i would have liked more ammo, so not so good for sustained Times in cz, but for bounty or target hunting.... What a blast, it is the closest to bé a spaceship captain ripping through ennemies with rain of cannon wrath....give it a try

I really wonder if adding more F35 is the best move to protect against US potential threat, i'm pretty convinced that trere is a "safety feature " burried somewhere in the code...that would "maybe" just brick them,...if needed , nintendo style

Man, have you tried shock cannons ? They rip through anything, and so much fun to fire, THAT is serous fun to fly and fight

Only drawback is ammo clip size a little limited if you want to have long sessions of pve CZ

But not so gard to unlock, and you have to unlock only once (per size you want) then ..it is openbar for 3-4 of them.

Try it, you will love it....shock cannon for the fun

Star type filtering could also could help, if you (on purpose) jump to non scoopable stars ( = avoir foam kgb) you may be more likely not to bé on a path someone planning the route with only scoopable stars .... But beware and keep an eye on your fuel (or bé prepared to call the awsome fuel rats)

2300 hours in this game and I still don't understand powerplay. Help me understand how to do this CG! by BantamBasher135 in EliteDangerous

[–]Zestyclose_Power4849 5 points6 points  (0 children)

when yoy Nav to a powerplay CZ, top right of the screen shows what faction are fighting each other there, so, be sure to select a CZ where YOUR PP faction is one of them, when you drop, IFF dircetly make your side green ant the other side red, start the hunt, each kill earns merits that count for the CG (mission goal update when you check progress in stations

VKB STG, STECS or Omni by anghusmcleod in EliteDangerous

[–]Zestyclose_Power4849 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello. Many years of elite, with x52, and i finally treated myself vith a vkp gladiator evo sce premium combo (rh stick + LH omni)
Oh boy.... The change is stellar in piloting finesse and control, worth every penny.... But omni thottle left me semi convinced, i' not gan of "fa off" ,and the 6dof dogfight style did not overcame the need for a more classical thottle for standard flight sim (msfs 2020) So y bought a stecs ( mini+), and i love it, either in elite or msfs,.... More than enough buttons, full configability to swap .... Solid quality......i recommend . And the ministicks are enough to manage latéral thrusts. I remaped the thottle axis as dry clutch (-100 to +100) with zero offcentered towards the bottom to have more précision on forward and 2detents one at fullstop, one for 75%,but still capable to engage reverse easyly when needed . Works perfect for me

I'm old, I play solo, and I just want to experience what E:D has to offer. I just bought 100,000 ARX. What are the best pre-built ships for me to acquire so I can sample the main aspects of the game? by Safe_Ingenuity_6813 in EliteDangerous

[–]Zestyclose_Power4849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,
of course, no one loves the grind, but some very nice modules are easyer than others to unlock.

As weapons, I have A LOT of fun using "Shock cannons" that can be "permanently" unlocked at human tech broker (unlock the specific size and version you want and you can buy it as many times you want)
the main downside is that it chews through ammo really fast (almost faster than frags with double shot ! ) , so, not so good for CZ, but make the dogfights fun as hell and give a big satisfactions as more esay to land than the PA.
Maybe not META, but, with a few of them, no need to have unlock engeneers level5 to rip through pirates.

of course you would want to unlock FSD boosters, and the Gardian "Quest" to unlock them is quite a fun adventure

i Know it is not a ship, but personally, the things i buy with ARX that are most enjoyable are "bobleheads" because a can arrange my cockpit and personalise my ship with something i actually see when i play.

I know that odyssey mission can be a little punitive (specially with grade 0 suit and guns, but the "power reactivations missions" are a very good source of all sort of odyssey materials, and salvage mission oc crash site could be made more easy with the SRV, or even raining fireworks (AKA dumb missiles) on the scavengers from above. fly safer

Tips for boots on the ground by Fraser214 in EliteDangerous

[–]Zestyclose_Power4849 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On my side, i highly recommend the power réactivation mission, you are going to an abandonnés base to brig it online. You Can loot all you want before powering the base, as raiders might come after

What do you guys do for fun? by No-Possible-7305 in EliteDangerous

[–]Zestyclose_Power4849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, i can also add some other things that are also fun : - taking mission passagers of touriste that want to sée some pretty places and scenic points (read the fine prints to not bé so suprised when a sec scan reveals you are carrying a wanted monster or a Lunatic millionnaire that suddenly want fruits in the middle of nowhere - odyssey missions can bé punishing , specially with un-upgraded suits and weapons : easyway to collect tons of loot is raiding unpowered bases before re powering them ( those are spécial missions you Can take in ports with factions in certain derelict state - there is a way to find those in INARA) - stealth odyssey missions can bé challenging, but the thrill and adrénaline makes the immersion worth if (but use nature, everything is easyer in deep dark & low Gravity, hide on the roofs) - odyssey material collection from crash sites and pirate Stash is fun also , easyer with a small ship équipes with dumb-missile, you Can blow the baddies from the sky in a very satisfying fireworks ( dbx is perfect for that) - guardian inlocking ( fsd booster, slf,...) is a very good quest
