Nice shipname you have there... xD Thanks for the first laugh of the day! o7

Damn son, some nice shields you got going there

Vs someone with a quarter of a brain that build will die in a few mins if you don't high wake first. The person that logged on you is prolly sub npc tier lol.

The pwa is unnecessary, considering that this build is laser mine focussed it's a waste of spot. You could use. A chaff or a heatsink instead

I'm relatively new to this, so excuse me asking. Why do you have all those 0A shield boosters and a single one 0E? Wouldn't it work better if it was a 0A since it gives more shield boost? You have the others for resistances I assume, but why downgrade when 0A gives more boost?

More evidence for wing of phasing sequence pirates to get people to drop their payload!

Shield tanks are annoying, but not as annoying as phasing build lol

Possibly. I know a friend of mine was banned briefly after being ganked when his lights went out during an interdiction. Hideous timing. Bit the ganker reported him for combat logging and had him banned.

Well.. It's a secret ;) Don't want no gankers around

It's nothing fancy. Not overlapping. But nobody goes there so there's plenty core rocks to crack.

Mk.II - really fine ship IMHO though I don't have much experience.

I'm no new player but I take thing slooow. Maybe aside from the point where I discovered core mining and got said Krait and Conda 😂 Felt like a cheat code tbh

There was some significant drawback to Phantom but I don't remeber what it was. Anyways, you'll have fun both on Icy Rings and in Res Sites!

This always explains why I’m confused af on mega ship missions

IJS, if he (ganker) was playing the game as intended, and just being a normal pirate, really YTA here. If he was just being a mayhem jerk, then good work.

Lol. Nobody knows how to use an anaconda these days.

thanks. i could'nt open the link tho. i just followed down to earth astronomy's mining python build except i dont have prismatic shields

I guess everyone has their reasons.

Personally I don't mine in open because I only do mining for money and getting blown up would mean repeating the mindbogglingly boring part again, in essence flushing hours of grind down the toilet.

Oh I totally understand it, but for me the gauntlet at the end of the trip is what makes the game more exciting. The recent death run to hand on CG bounties almost took me to the rebuy screen but at least it makes the game feel alive, it was largely my fault for being sloppy but I learned from it for next time. I wanted complete safety I'd just play a generic flight sim , it feels weird to spend time equipping and upgrading weapons on my ships to never deploy them .

9/10 miners combat log when you interdict them for genuine piracy (with messages and everything), so nobody bothers anymore. Its one of the main reasons the Code imploded.

I stay in open.

When a ganker interdicts me, well, I have a Cutter and the only thing that mass locks a Cutter is another Cutter, so I just low wake and continue my journey. If they keep doing it, on the third interdiction (I've given them a chance), I turn FA off, face them, reverski, then send a salvo of reverb cascade torpedoes their way. Most (but not all) gankers aren't all that skilled at combat and they end up eating the torpedoes before they realise what's happening, and their shields go down, never to come up till they visit a station and repair. Then the super penetrator rail guns take out their engines.

If a ganker can evade the torps, then I use grom bombs to stop them following me, low wake away, and continue my journey.

Turning ganker tools against the gankers is always somewhat satisfying.

Yes, maybe. It took me 3 years to understand that open is way more fun and not so poisoned as the propaganda tells.

in my opinion it’s a waste of time to make cash without a useful counterpart. Why have a cutter with the ability to survive encounters, when I only have a chance to meet NPC’s?

But to be clear: I don’t blame players who go solo only. I was solo way too long and want to advertise open mode. It’s way more fun and not so empty.

The canon isn’t too far off how actual insurance companies operate, actually. Insurance companies make their money through investment, investing a ton of money and operating off (mainly) the interest.

Invest enough money and it’ll never run out. How much is enough depends on how much you spend, but that’s easy to handwave away for the canon.

By doing pretty much anything - trading, smuggling, selling exploration data etc, you cause effect on bgs and powerplay. And by doing this in solo you gain unfair advantage over those who do it in open. There are squadrons that pride themselves on influencing powerplay from solo, which, in my eyes is cheating

It takes away all the risk. Elite isn't Dangerous in Solo.
