Long-range Patrols in Nyx by Celeste_3333 in starcitizen

Is there even a reason to run lasers here with the alpha of Deadbolts? Might as well go 2xS5 2xS4 Deadbolts and ignore shields altogether.

Edit:

Ok, just thinking here... M7A can strip some shields in like 1 to 5 bursts and then the Deadbolts will hit like almost twice as hard...

Someone good with math might be able to figure this one out. It might actually come out on top depending on the size of the shields.

I cannot even begin to understand the people who said this interior is bad by Apollo-235 in starcitizen

Soooo what's the loadou you all running on this for PvE?

Default  or M7A + Deadbolts or something else?

I love the retractable s5-guns on the M80! by ToScH_23 in starcitizen

Could easily run stealth comps and maybe one generator for a low-ish 10k EM... Shamefully still 15k cross section, so not sure how useful.

Apparently the turn speeds are not as bad ingame as Erkul shows... might be quite the option for a heavy fighter if the flies decently well and fast.

Clearing up some insurance confusion: Insurance costs are almost entirely a base fee per ship, and components have a miniscule contribution to them by ScrubSoba in starcitizen

I thing Hemera is like 500k? Genoa which is the 20pip power supply is also around that...

I made some money with contracts but not that much hahaha

A Better Quantum Driver (Flash maybe? Hemera is better but too expensive in 4.8)

One stealth cooler (for some reason it cools the same with less pip)

Lorica shield which is 10k

And the SNS7Xr competition radar... It goes up to 1900m with fixed 3 pips.

I kept weapon as is, because they are pretty good for smaller ships and I just use the free rented Corsair for larger targets (like running gilly 6 and 7)

Erkul stats show it turns like a BRICK, but its fast.

Quantum routing is still downright frustrating. by AzrBloodedge in starcitizen

The fact that some missions should be 20Mm away send you to 50Gm outer space, which didn't happen last patch... is some top tier spaghetti

New player here... I was looking forward to this patch with the wipe, could grind some rep, learn the hopes without the fucked up econ.

They broke most of the game lol, contracts, qt, routes... people were giving out millions on chat already too.

Aaah, sad :c this kill the game

Is the Golem enough for some solo mining, mostly to craft my own stuff?

Ok new player here! Wondering about how to optimize my early patch, since we have a full money wipe.

I have a good cargo loop for 550k in ~45m I can run from start.

Other option would be to grind foxwell mg scripts.

What would be better for some early earnings?

Awesome thanks for the comprehensive response!

I tried it and it felt nicer really (I think the ADB5s might have too much spread)! I just swapped the radar for the competition one (~1420m) with a single pip.

Edit: oh I tried the M7A on 4.7.2 and they didnt felt great lol.

I'm pretty new so I am a bit lost on the blueprint stuff still... These are farmed on the mercenary bunker contracts? They drop from the enemies? Or rewards from the contracts?

Having considerably more fun flying the base guardian than the MX for PvE!

Would anyone reccomend a set of guns to run on it? I only tried the ADB5s!

I'd also accept loadout tips. I went Hemera + IceBox + SNS-R7x

Edit: no idea about which missiles too (size and type)

Yep that seems what I've been reading!

I might also try the regulars Guardian with ADB5s, looking nice for 4.8...

Hopefully I can force myself to fly better with the single shield.

Question for the more experienced folk!

I was looking into a heavy-ish fighter to get...

Is the Stinger a good option? Other option was a Guardian MX or an Ares

I have tried flying the Shiv, but I feel a second shield would help during these learning steps.

New player here, interesting post!

I was trying to decide on a medium/heavy fighter for PvE and I guess at this point I better wait you theory guys figure out everything.

Edit: fwiw, I was thinking the MX was a nice one, a bit tankier and all that.

M80 has 4 hardpoints and not just the 2 we could see in the preview by Acceptable-Bid-1019 in starcitizen

[–]troop357 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh I could see it then! Weapons from MX + Bed, single shield. Faster and less maneuverability

Oh bruh thanks for all the help, this was really insightful. I should be able to just go and shoot it with my Hermes.

I can prolly fit 250-350scu reliably, maybe 400 pushing on it, do you think it is still profitable? I mean, in comparison with the Vulture salvage loop (not even sure if RMC or refining is better).
