They keep the consoles off in their own instance of the galaxy? Not sure exactly why, but it might even be a non-technical thing like Microsoft being funny about cross-play (and patch levels etc). I often PC Steam → PS4 crossplay with Rocket League and it works ok.
Some more shots, Been doing mainly delivery missions and avoiding salvage ops because you use to have to fly around forever to find the right USS. However last night I found out they changed the way those missions work, now you scan the nav beacon and get a new location and the get a search area. 100 times better and easier. Gained my first Empire promotion too! However Im still waiting for the promotion mission to come up. Typical military hurry up and wait!
You might find the promotion mission is at a different base/port. I found that a lot with Empire ranking - though usually in the same system. I also had one that I couldn’t do in the ship I was in (it was “deliver 33t of X for the navy” - I was in a DBS with 8t capacity!).
It’s apparent that the station has taken massive damage in the Thargoid attack, with the reactor at the rear of the station burning, as well as part of the habitation ring blown away and fires across the surface. Everywhere, caustic damage is visible along the surface of the station.
Interior temperature is exceedingly high, and there’s free-floating debris inside the station. Heat sinks and large-ish ships that can stand being buckled around from falling debris and internal explosions are a good idea.
Passenger cabins full and heading back to the rescue ship. More debris floating around inside, and fire off another heat sink as soon as I lifted off the pad.
How you liking it so far? I still need the 7A power plant, so perhaps its because of that that I find they ole’ python more comfortable still. The fighter is fun tho
I’m still deciding what exactly I want to do with her, but I’m thinking exploration/ cargo/ passengers/ mining right now. As such, I haven’t decided exactly how big of a power plant or thrusters I’ll fit, but I’ll see how the FSD tune goes first. I just need to go grind, I mean find, more Arsenic and Datamimed Wake Exceptions.
Indeed. I’ve just reconfigured it for some hauling to take part in current Commuity Goal. Stripped the limpet controllers (class 1 prospector, class 3 and 5 collector), rafinery and fitted additional cargo holds. Now I can haul 192T of cargo, could have gone even further (224T) but I would have to fly without shield generator.
For a medium class ship it can carry lots of stuff and still defend itself if needed (2 medium and 3 heavy hardpoints). Jump range currently varies from 15LY (fully loaded) to 20+LY (empty cargo), not engineered. It basically paid itself off after first double Painit mining run.
