93 Military Grade Alloys in 36 mn. How do I do that?

ZwUHIQxCUFs

This is an old video I published for the purpose of explaining the loop, I just scored 93 Military Grade Alloys in the Ross 342 System.

"Oh no. No no. I'm in a damn Mamba!" The Reach is .. .. That's about twenty-pulse jumps away in that bloody thing. Although, it dose look very good"

"Listen, Thunderchild isn't that far away, and Holly should be back in my office on board. Did you store your stuff at my place or, is Holly holding it for you?"

Valve Index has been treating me well with ED, especially after I got a basic HOTAS and could ditch peeking-at-the-keyboard-to-find-keys gameplay. I have no experience with any other HMDs though, so take my recommendation with a grain of salt.

Maul furrowed his brow as he watched Lambast struggle with the neuralwear. He could think of a dozen issues with such a device but now was not the time for discussion on the matter. His friend needed help, a friend who'd been there for him when nobody else had.

"I can't do anything from here. Got nothing but this stock data slate and the clothes on my back. But my ship should be here soon. If the failsafe worked correctly, Desumashin should be the only ship to have copies of my usual toolset. That is, if it hasn't been too long and my second failsafe activated and fried the servers on board that ship as well. I've really lost track of time these days. BUT if that's the case...fuck..."

He'd been lost in thought, as he tends to do when discussing work, but suddenly he had found himself giving Lambast a frightened look.

"...The last back up location I have is, uh, and don't get mad about this. It's at your place...in the server room...with Holly."

Maul had moved Holly into Lambast's new living quarters on Hauser's Reach over a decade ago. With the amount of caution and security involved in installing Holly, he knew even then that would be the safest place in the galaxy to store anything even remotely important.

"Let's just hope it doesn't come to that." He said, with a sigh as he looked up at the stars.

Looks like it, this thing is selling like cookies...

Job done :-)

As I just checked, the game shows that Helium-3 should be present there and it probably can be "mined" only with the atmospheric/vapor He-3 extractors and not the regular ones (there is a few of other planets of this kind). If you are still looking for the sources of Solvent, on some other planets the flora/fauna can be domesticated for it, too.

"Pay me back? Mr Montresor, that is a ludicrous notion." said Lambast walking towards the ring transportation stop.

"To think you owe me anything at all is nonsense. Besides, if you did pay me back, I wouldn't notice. In fact, you could be the only person that hasn't asked me for an investment now I think about it"

As they walked, Lamb pondered who from the old team had given her somewhere to funnel credits away from taxable accounts.

"Yes, Vega had a good idea that was worth dropping a bit. Even Echo and Raven came up with something, though I gave them the credits for old times sake"

Turning to give Maul a little smile "Looks like it's just you and Kai really, though Kai pretty much sends me all her bills as far as I can tell. That means your in the black with me. I do recommend getting a new FSD with the boost feature. They are rather fun, and I think you'd enjoy it, so I wouldn't mind footing the bill for that if they have them here"

Sitting at the stop, Lambast patted her knees, looking at the greenery encapsulated by the ring. Watching the stars spin by reminded her of the fight that must be taking place by now, between Mr Hooder and Red Jade.

"Oh yes Mr Montresor, there is something you can do for me if you still do your computer things"

Taking her holo-computer out, Lamb concentrated to bring up the ship files that were being used in Mr Hooders little spat. Talking slowly, because talking and using the neuralwear link was still hard, Lambast explained what she wanted doing.

"I'm currently involved with this pirate chap for one reason and another. Right now, he's in a scrap with another pirate, well imperial privateer, and I've lent him some of my pilots and ships"

The holo-computer was having trouble displaying what Lambast wanted because she wasn't concentrating on the files only.

"Now, we washed the ships transponders before I sent them in, but I have since learned that Imperial Intellagance could be involved. I don't think our rush job is going to cut it should they poke their Roman noses in. Do you think you can help?"

In the case of the Anaconda you can be sure that 400 t is a typo, it's the weight of an Imperial Clipper...

Physics applies when it comes to flight envelops (they have to use something as a basis), you can see this when you engineer your thrusters, at a certain point, the drift becomes more and this is due to the level of inertia included in the computing of the flight envelop. It works with mass and acceleration.

I noticed this with my Corvette, even more since I decided to give her a weight diet, took the Fuel scoop off, mounted a 3C FUEL TANK and a 3D FRAME SHIFT DRIVE.

The weight saving seems to work a lot more on heavier ships or at least performance gains seems to be higher than for example on my Krait MK II, same thing happens when I optimized both the Python and the Krait MK II.

I have to say that Space-based game developers have it comparatively easy compared to DCS module developers due to the amount of work involved.

Aircrafts are submitted to aerodynamic constraints and to get a flight envelop anywhere near to realistic involves fluid simulation with a water-tight models (water tight means that the CAD design have to be made to industrial standard instead of game standard, that's hundredth of mm instead of tenth).

Some module developers teams are more successful than others, for example, the Mirage 2000C module is so accurate it is used by the French Air Force at Squadron Level. https://moovely.fr/larmee-de-lair-francaise-sequipe-de-dsc-world-mirage-2000/

For having worked in the 3D Industry and done some limited fluid simulation myself using CATIA and FLUENT (simple F-100 Super Sabre wing simulation), I can tell you that a whole Mach 2 Aircraft demands a LOT of work.

I thank you for your efforts here to easy our life
I confess I was confused since I was searching for a domestic source - as part of a production chain, then I realized it was impossible.
I am deep to the neck on this great game, with 3500h + under the hood, so if I can help you with anything, just beep me here.

( in a side note, Katydid has no real source of He3, even if it is "officially" presented on the search tab, on the Katydid 1-A - I spent over 2h there, searching, with 50+ jumps on all biome - HE3 simply do not show-up ; maybe bc also the "craters" biome, the "home" of He3, is not present on this moon... maybe a side note on the description ?... my "solution" to power-up the indicite extractors was to simply build an extra inter-sys cargo link importing fuel from another system, store that fuel ( He3) then use that to power-up another cargo-link to "export" the indicite to the factory planet. )

You could ask the same question of how an Anaconda with a - supposedly - lighter hull and identical thrusters still has the same speed as a Corvette in a straight line. Whatever logic those things operate on, I’m not sure how much mass has to do with it. Not too much when it comes to the top limit, anyway…

Agreed. This is completely arbitrary, in all logic, if they have wanted to make the MK II more maneuverable than the previous Python, they would have made it lighter not 100 t heavier and equipped it with Class 7 Thrusters, with the same MASS-LOCK FACTOR???...

I can't wait to see what the next Combat ship will be like.

Anyone knows how developers managed to get a ship 130‬ t stock heavier than a Krait MK II end up with a pitch rate 8°/sec higher with the same Class 6 Thruster and engineering???

I'm thinking of the Python MK II, because if they start to depart from standard like Class/Thrust we're gonna end up with totally fantasist results with equivalent fits...

Just posted a thread in Elite Forums...

Its manoeuvring thrusters are more effective blah blah blah including the fact that, on any ship, you can get almost the same thrust out of those little holes as you're getting from a beast of an engine (or even several engines) with its exhaust pointed backwards in the classic way... We're living in a world where we can land on 63G planets anyway, no surprise. :p

You missed a scoop, Python MK II flown by gankers killed a hauler and we got an update about aviation language where evading a threat involves dogfighting.

Anyway I find sad that it had to be a bunch of emotionally challenged cyber-bullies to report the first kills of the new combat ship, then I wonder where the laws of physics went for a ship 130‬ t stock heavier than a Krait MK II can end up with a pitch rate 8°/sec higher with the same Class 6 Thruster and engineering.

Smells like commercial BSting to me. Just saying...

Not sure what I missed overnight, but I can’t say I managed to keep track very well reading up…

Dirty Dicks Dry Dock commercial has never been so close to the truth. :p

Yeah, no. I'm done with you. Sound and fury signifying nothing. Have a nice life.

I don't know how they managed their stats with the Python but here we go...

P:ython MK II



Highly optimized Krait MK II.



The Krait will never hold a candle to the Python in the pitch axis, but it can be better in roll and yaw, Python is also faster in dry and boost thrust.

The gains in performance from a 7A to a 6A Power Plant are marginal and it looses quiet a bit in terms of Power Capacity. Be aware.

AC-130: "Come get some you lil piece of shit!"

I'm not sure you comprehend my meaning at all. I am not suggesting a large ship dogfights 4 Kraits or FdLs.

A hauling cutter doesn't need to be manoeuvrable or dogfight 4-5 Kraits or FdLs, any more than a C-17 is meant to dogfight an Su-27. That would not be wise, in either event. A hauling cutter needs to have Class 6 prismatic shields, 6-7 shield boosters, decent armour. and a pilot that knows how to fly defensively. It only needs to survive 60-90 seconds (depending on whether one gets Grommed or not) to wake out and be beyond danger. With good pip management and half-decent flying, you are going to live to see tomorrow every time.

If that's reality denial, there are plenty of haulers that pull it off every week. But by all means, throw around more insults and pretend something else is being argued. I think we're done here.

Right, the type of Cutter build that escape the laws of physics perhaps?

The Cutter weights stock 1100 t, not even the strongest Thruster is going to make it as maneuverable as an optimized corvette for this simple reason, Physics applies on this game and weight or/and acceleration are part of it. Revise your classics.

Then I'm not offended the slightest by reality denial, I stated TWO FACTS that are to the advantage of the Krait MK II:

1) Power distribution which is a limiting factor. 2) The absense of fighter hangar on all top 3 Combat ships.

My pilot is Elite, she rarely miss and with 3 X Gauss Cannons which are not only very effective vs shields (reason why I chose the XG9) but also posses a good armour piercing capability. I check the damage to target shield every time I see her hit (pink puff of smoke), so I know how fast she can deplete shield.


I don't know the fit the Krait MK II those guys claims to make small wood of have, all I can see is denial of FACT and those FACTS I have been stating from day one in this topic, I believe (anyone can correct me) that I was the first to post about the Python MK II and it didn't take me long to figure her limitations.

In fact I was on the watch for the availability of the Python II and might have been one of the first to be able to test her.

Now, what I KNOW for a fact is that with strictly similar weapon fits (minus one Class 3 for the Krait MK II), the Python MK II Power Distributor LIMITS the use of all weapons AND Boost simultaneously, a Class 3 Beam Laser will cut off pretty fast leaving the Python with the exact same weapon fit than the Krait.

The reason why I use this fit is pretty clear for those aware; the use of Corosive Shells increase all damage taken, at the cost of a 20% reduction in ammo capacity (for ONE Cannon and this includes Beam Lasers). While the effect is active,incoming damage from all sources is increased by 25% (all source MIGHT include the XG9 Lance fighter), and all attacks receive a +20 bonus to their armour piercing value.

Now if those factors are irrelevant to you, you can keep writing whatever and pretend that they don't exist, but first I don't need 4 X 3C Multi-cannon, I rather have a 3C Beam Laser Long range/Thermal Vent which will see its destructive power increased by 35% when I use my Cannons.

So let's bring back the debate to reality which is the 6/7 Class Power Plant and Distributors of each ships, again, at this level, the Krait MK II has the advantage at the cost of 60t for A class modules.

Why Pee Mk2 looks like an extensively used piece of soap? :p
