I actually played for the first time in ages this weekend and even bought a new ship. Had some fun tooling around in my new Federal Assault Ship and configuring it just so. After spending so much time in the Vulture, it's nice flying a ship with power to spare. Additionally, a recent update also buffed hull strength, which makes this one tanky boat. I'm currently flying with dual fixed beam lasers and dual gimballed multicannons for when shields have been stripped.

Mat Linnett Shambolic Joined: 11 Apr 2000 Posts: 8027	Posted: 11-30-2015 08:59 AM                    Vulture's a great ship, but you have to learn decent power management to make the most of it. Just make sure that when your guns are deployed, your frame shift drive, cargo scoop / hold, frame shift drive interdictor and discovery / surface scanners power down. That means you should be able to cram two large pulse lasers and a shield cell bank in to your loadout. And you'll see a lot of people saying that B or even D class thrusters are good enough, but I say that's hogwash and that the A class ones make the ship noticeably nimbler. You can afford to save power by going for E class life support (as a bounty hunter, you should never be far from a station) and D class sensors. Limit your kill warrant scanner to the one that allows you to scan an enemy at 2Km or under. Oh, and if you're chasing missions (which is the best way to earn cash in a Vulture), consider ditching the cargo hold completely. Replace it with hull reinforcement or whatever floats your boat. Blast and move on, screw the salvage.

I've been doing this week's and had a lot of fun teaming up with randoms. It splits the combat bond rewards between wing members, but because more of you are shooting the same target, you're more likely to get the reward.

Mat Linnett Shambolic Joined: 11 Apr 2000 Posts: 8027	Posted: 12-17-2015 10:50 PM                    The latest community goal just ended at Kausalya. I've just moved to 9 Pupis to try some Powerplay and expand Zachary Hudson's territory. However, new community goals have already been announced here. For combat, it's a case of handing in bounties at Dahan Gateway in Dahan or Jones Orbital in Hel. Which do you fancy?

Mat Linnett Shambolic Joined: 11 Apr 2000 Posts: 8027	Posted: 12-19-2015 11:54 PM                    If you still feel like popping along, head on over to Jones Orbital in Hel and pick up the Community Goal mission from the Bulletin Board. The RES points are around HEL 1. Jones Orbital's a bit of a slog from the RES points, being ~3,000ls away, and if you're currently associated with a Powerplay faction, or have a bounty on your head, you will get interdicted by players. If that happens, because they usually hunt in wings and interdict single players, submit to the interdiction by reducing throttle to zero. As soon as you drop out of Supercruise, accelerate to maximum speed, assign 4 pips to Engines and 2 to Systems and Frameshift out as soon as possible. Your FSD should take no time to cool down as you submitted to the interdiction. If they keep at it, you may have to temporarily jump out of system. If that happens, I recommend exiting to the main menu and travelling to your destination in Solo play, then switch back to Open once you're there. It may sound cowardly, but these guys stack the odds in their favour, typically by hunting as pairs of Fer De Lances. Oh, and once at the RES point, if you accidentally shoot a non-enemy ship, immediately leave the area. Other players in the instance will just see you as an enemy commander, and they won't bother to scan you first to see your bounty is only 400cr. A 400cr bounty takes 15 minutes to expire, at which point it becomes a legacy fine which can be paid off. And again, no matter how good your fire control, this will happen to you, as other ships will, accidentally or on-purpose, fly between you and your target.

Mat Linnett Shambolic Joined: 11 Apr 2000 Posts: 8027	Posted: 12-23-2015 01:13 PM                    Not sure, never tried that. It's easy enough to wing up with people in your friends list though, even if they're not in the same system.
