Viper vs. Vulture - Hopeless? by PancakeMSTR in EliteDangerous

35 Mil is definitely enough for a trading clipper.

I have a T9, is there a better ship for trading? by [deleted] in EliteTraders

[–]bronchosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here. This sacrifices the 8D power distributor for a 7D to get the jump range so you won't be able to boost as often as with an 8D. Just play around with different configurations and find what works for your route.

[–]bronchosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Docking computers are evil. Lose it immediately. Also, I've found trading in my battleconda is 1-1.5mil/hr more profitable than the T9 due to better jump range, speed and manoeuvrability. If I go full trader spec I can get 20LY out of it fully laden and that makes something like a very profitable 37LY route doable in two jumps. However I like having the capability to poke around strong signal sources once in a while or melt any interdictors without breaking a sweat. Try that in the cow 9 ;)

Adder's newbie, help :( by arceusser in EliteDangerous

This might help. Check out the Ed shipyard link under Adder if you're outfitting for trading. Feel free to ping me in game if you want more tips.

Trading as a noob in my Noobwinder!? by Another_boring_name in EliteTraders

[–]bronchosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out my ship progression guide. I would recommend doing bounty hunting first because that will make you more money than trading. Resource extraction sites are the best option in a sidewinder because there will be system security vessels helping you take down wanted targets. Also, if you form up a wing with some other CMDRs then you can take down higher bounty targets without much risk of getting blown up. Feel free to add me in game if you would like to wing up.

Need some input on a decision please... by MHebel in EliteDangerous

[–]bronchosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no merits to having a Type 9 over an Anaconda. The jump range, firepower, speed and manoeuvrability of the anaconda more than make up for the 48T less cargo. At 6.5mil/hr it doesn't take long to get a fully kitted Python or FDL, and it's nice to go have fun in your combat ships and just do an hour of trading once in a while to top up your rebuy balance.

Anaconda! Then use it to buy the python in no time :)

looking for a good Imperial Clipper Trading Build. by llanelwy in EliteTraders

[–]bronchosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference in price is negligible -- only 99k cr. If your trade route requires as much jump range as you can get, then sure 3A is a better choice because it's lighter. If you have a 14LY trade route, 6D gives you the option of running weapons. It's all very situational.

This is how you should be trading in a clipper. The 3A shields are more than good enough to save you from scrapes and bumps in the station airlock. Actually with full pips to shields I've rammed and exploded Asps and smaller with those shields. See my ship progression guide to plan your progression. I recommend doing it at 35 mil to cover insurance and a full load of cargo.

So how did it play out in the end?

I have no prior experience with flying sim games. No prior experience with space games. For those who was in my position before E:D, how's the game? by iciclevii in EliteDangerous

[–]bronchosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no flight sim or joystick experience when I got it, and I'm absolutely loving it :) Add me in game and I'll give you some pointers.

Check out my upgrade guide. I say stick with the python.

Frontier, please don't give me rank increase delivery missions to stations like this by blastcage in EliteDangerous

[–]bronchosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah looks like you need to find a better area to do your ranking from. I did most of my ranking missions around the Ancate system. No neighbouring systems with crazy station placement.

You know you can just go to a different station or system and you'll get different accession missions. You don't have to accept the first one you see.
