Stupid things that we do

Salutations, Commanders

With the new CG, there was a starport close to Lhou Mans with very cheap titanium. The Mandalay couldn't carry much, so I equipped my Anaconda with as many cargo racks as possible. Got there, didn't allow large ships.

So, I went ahead and bought, outfitted and engineered what was needed for a Type 8.

Four hundred tons per trip wasn't much profit.

So I purchased a Panther Clipper MkII. Transferred some modules from my Corvette, bought some others and engineered what was needed. Now this was profit! 49M per trip was great. Eventually titanium stock got depleted and I gave up. Hauled over 40 K tons. Out

Picked up my Mandalay and went looking for the famous Guardian Ruins to unlock the FSD and Shield boosters. Twice I returned to the tech broker to realise that I didn't bring enough materials.

Eventually got everyrhing I needed. Great!

Then started doing the weekly Power Play missions. The combat portions, Threat 3 with multiple ships, couldn't be done with the Mandalay. So I thought I'd pick up my vette from Ryman to do the fights.

But I needed a new FSD as mine was in the panther. Bought one 6A FSD. Engineered it but decided to go to Deciat to get the experimental effect. When I got there, realised that I couldn't do SCO... because I was distracted and bought a non-SCO FSD. Luckily in Deciat there was a port in a planet that had the 6A FSD SCO that I needed. When landing, failed the alignment and canceled supercruise and missed the glide. I just pointed down and was chatting with a colleague as the ship plummeted towards land.

I crashed the Corvette. 22 M rebuy + a new FSD + almost 3 M worth of cartography data from those trips to the guardian planets.

Then engineer the new drive.

The stupid things that we do when we're distracted. 😒

I guess I'll do a couple more Titanium runs after this to recover some of the losses

Need some help with on-foot missions

Salutations, Commanders

I read that the best way to start gathering suit engineering materials is by searching for on-foot support missions, in specific system states with collapsing infrastructure, where I'm supposed to fly in, maybe kill some scavengers, restore power to a settlement and grab every item I find.

I tried following different guides and searched for the right kind of system with right kind of state, but I have never ever found a mission to restore power to a settlement. Worse, I never saw a support mission in the mission board (while on-foot). Support is always blank with zero missions.

What am I missing? Did something change and this kind of mission is no longer available?

Please guide me!

Community Goal - pirate hunting

Salutations, Commanders

Yesterday I took my brand new Corvette to hunt some pirates at the hazres in Lhou Mans. I learned my lesson before: this time, no limpets! Last time I loaded up on limpets to collect pirate leftovers, but somehow they wanted the limpets for themselves and at one point I was gang banged by 7 or 8 very tough pirates. I found one pirate with a 2.5 million bounty and got greedy. Tried to kill that one before escaping. My NPC fighter was taken down and I didn't last long after that. Result: no 2.5M bounty, 20 M rebuy, and lost about 6 M in bounties that I didn't get to deliver.

So, yesterday I went back there with an empty cargo hold. Was there for a bit. They'd scan me, lose interest, but I took them out one by one, even a few wings of 3.

When I decided to go back to Ryman I was surprised:

30 million in bounties?? +40% bonus?? Did something change to get this bonus? I just acquired Elite status. Did that make a difference in the bonus percentage?

Anyway, definitely not as profitable as evacuating politicians, but it's a nice change of pace. And the combat objective is not getting much attention from the community so far

Salutations, Commanders

I'm sure a lot of you already know about this. But some of you, a bit more distracted, like me, may have missed that this ship is totally free at the Arx Store.

I know that F-Dev said they'd release the ship right away, to make up for the delay of Operations. And I saw the ship up for sale at the shipyard. I thought they simply made it available to purchase with credits. I only discovered now, in a Youtube video, that the ship is free for all!

Get yours now -> Arx Store

Now, let the evacuation begin!

On a side note, what engineering suggestions do you have for this?
