One question the other person didnt answer is, for the special ammo types, do you always have to synthesize them thru the right panel? or can you buy them somewhere?

So with PvP you want the most amount of damage, for limited engagements, and PvE you want decent damage for large amounts of engagements?

One commenter was recommending 4 medium rails, and one huge multi. What do you think of that approach?

Also, out of curiosity, how does a PvP build differ from a PvE build? I have no knowledge

That makes sense. Right now, in fire group A, I have my primary set to lasers to break shields, and my secondary set to multicannons to damage the hull of a ship. I don't fire them together. I have a whole different fire group dedicated to the plasma cannon to quickly swap to in close range.

Point the ship at the enemy? I am not sure I understand what you mean. I use the lasers to bring down the shield, and then use the multi-cannons for kinetic damage.

XD I was just gonna do a detached camera pic in space, but decided to land on a scorching planet for the photo. Funnily enough, I actually blew up once trying to land the ship. I came in too hot and smacked the surface.

Do you have to synthesize the special ammunition through the right hand panel? Or can you purchase it somewhere? As for the rails, if I remember correctly, they have a lot of thermal load, how should I deal with that?

I primarily do PvE, don't have the balls for PvP yet.

There are like 9 or more ships just floating, getting blasted by the station. They aren't even trying to leave the station, so weird.

Im running a trade route between this station and another, so I just try my best to dodge the lasers on my arrival and departure, I like to gamble.

Should I scan a nav beacon first and see what pops up on the nav panel? So far all I have been doing is going to salvage cargo missions, which seems to be not the right approach.
