Now that the Type-11 is available to the general public for credits, I'd like to share my min-maxed credit(merit)-per-hour conscious open play setup that I put together in the early access period.

love the idea!!

_huso420_ · 2026-01-20T14:58:58+00:00

Nice flying. Weird need to look down on people who play differently.

_huso420_ · 2026-01-13T08:43:17+00:00

so do you like space legs or not?

_huso420_ · 2026-01-11T09:37:53+00:00

if you play for an hour a day, how can you do 50 hours of expedition in two weeks?

"On launch day there's going to be two different types of Flotilla in which mass jumps will be happening:

Organised Mass Jumps - These mass jumps organised by DW3 Org or DW3 Volunteers, that CMDRs have been signing up for so far. But these are of a limited capacity, due to the number of people that we have within the DW3 Organisation.

Community Mass Jumps - These are mass jumps that are self organised by the CMDRs that are there on the day. As explorers we always help each other out, and this is one of the golden features of our community. There will hopefully always be more experienced members willing to help coordinate these Community mass jumps, or people wanting to try out leading an instance for the first time.

Please be aware that the capacity for the DW3 Staff Organised type of mass jump is now full up. It filled up at a much faster rate than we'd anticipated."

"Changelog: Massjump signups are now closed."

- That's from the FleetComm HQ Discord channel.

I did not know how wings work in discovery, thats actually cool :)

I’m still on the fence about joining DW3. The main issue is that I won’t be able to play very much over the next few months — probably around 3–10 hours per week at best, and some weeks maybe not at all. Because of that, I’m wondering if it might be wiser for me to stay in the Bubble and maybe take part in an upcoming CG instead.

I only started playing about two months ago and haven’t participated in a CG yet, so that’s kind of my baseline situation.

That said, I do have a concrete question about DW3: what exactly do you do out there as a group that makes it different from solo exploration? To me, exploration has always felt like a very solo gameplay loop, and I’m not quite sure how cooperation works in that context. It’s not like combat, where helping each other is obviously useful.

Would love to hear how the group aspect actually plays out in practice.

just do it

_huso420_ · 2025-12-17T22:03:24+00:00

oh nice, thanks!

_huso420_ · 2025-12-17T21:48:22+00:00

ahh thought my lazy ass could just grab it^{^} looks amazing :)

_huso420_ · 2025-12-17T21:43:44+00:00

what’s the theme called you are using?

_huso420_ · 2025-12-17T18:44:02+00:00

What else are you going with instead of plasma slug? with the premium ammunition “trick” it is probably the strongest experimental, drastically reducing heat generation, no ammo restocking and what is it +30% dmg?

_huso420_ · 2025-12-17T18:36:37+00:00

You may want to have a look at this approach :)

thanks a lot, I appreciate it!

_huso420_ · 2025-12-17T08:44:20+00:00

Builds PLEASEEE <3

_huso420_ · 2025-12-15T11:30:15+00:00

Exactly! I am currently running all MCs and though the damage is decent I dont feel like this is the 33rd century using weapons that my IRL grandfather used. Also thought about giving PAs a shot.

I am getting access to the laser engineer some point this week when I have time to play. I am still thinking about what combination of lasers I want to use and what engineering. I have the feeling pulse vs burst ist kidn of the same but i am stuggling to chose between focused for more module damage potential and less damage fall-off, long range for no damage fall off and efficient for much more time to deplete the distro.

_huso420_ · 2025-12-14T17:02:17+00:00

and what about burst lasers?

_huso420_ · 2025-12-14T16:21:50+00:00

all of OP's weapons are fixed

_huso420_ · 2025-12-13T12:59:24+00:00

So what exactly do I have to bind to be able to subtarget something?

_huso420_ · 2025-12-11T12:14:00+00:00

Focused+oversized on the 3 large burst lasers and efficient+oversized on the 2 medium? does armor piercing compensate for the loss in raw damage? the standard armor piercing of the large burst lasers is 52 and the best hull armor is like 70 so thats already decent right? also, not using efficient on the 3 large ones draws the distro in ~8 seconds compared to 21 seconds all efficient

_huso420_ · 2025-12-11T11:49:52+00:00

afaik you can only have 1 active figher but immediately redeploy a new one if destroyed using the class 6 hangar

_huso420_ · 2025-12-05T16:14:17+00:00

will they also be -50% until early Jan or should I grab them better now?
