Idk, I'm just listening to him cuz he knows more about the game. My friend bought a Cobra but didn't have enough for the insurance afterwards. He almost had an aneurysm when he tried to pull out of port and crashed into the wall - fortunately he didn't blow up though. http://www.edshipyard.com/ use this to build ships duders. Gives you an idea of what you need to do what with. Also helps you do some basic power management(alternative site great to preplan power for max performance: coriolis.io) Rather you go Cobra or Viper is entirely dependent on your things you want to do. A cobra can get to an easy 32 tons of cargo without sacrificing anything major this allows for folks to do trade missions/light smuggling or for the fan of long distance travel and profit Rare trading. That's not to say a Cobra can't fight it can but the small hardpoint locations are a pain and the agility isn't quite as good as the Viper's. The Viper on the other hand is pretty much the go to snubfighter for it's price and size. Not as fast as the cobra but I'd argue more agile and with better hardpoint placement. Of course she's a combat ship so traveling is going to require a fuel scoop and patience but it's not too bad. If you want to hit up RES sites this is your ship until you can get into a Vulture. Archon Delaine doesn't really offer much to his faction pledges sadly. If you where interested in the cytoscrambler I've got bad news for ya. Calling it lackluster would be an understatement. Q: Parn I have money and want to buy a new ship, where do I go?! A: Lembava, Pikum, Diaguandri systems. Between these 3 systems they offer nearly every ship, and all the modules and parts. All at 15% discount. Outfitting and buying here has saved me millions on millions of credits. Oh did I mention they're all close to each other? If one system doesn't have what you need, try the others. Also, here's a Viper loadout. Set your Frameshift drive, Fuelscoop and Cargo hatch to 2 in your module priority tab and you'll have enough power to run it with hardpoints out. You can also swap the medium pulse to medium multicannons and go small pulse lasers if you prefer. Viper loadout | ||

I might go with Li (I think that was his name) for ship discount stuff. I'll just have to get to his range of influence. I spent like 20 jumps getting down to Tekea to meet my friend, and we were in Archon territory, so we basically said "fuck it". edit - UGH IDK WHO TO PLEDGE TO THIS IS TOO HARD | ||

The pledge tab lists the benefits you gain for actually joining them and what bonuses you gain at what rank. Most of the pledge rewards aren't generally worthwhile and note Rank 5 is not something one hit's easily but rank 3 and below are easily gained and maintained. Powerplay updates on Wednesday nights/Thursday morning. My personal belief is that unless one of the pledge options really interest you powerplay is entirely optional and in many cases more trouble then it's worth due to the interdiction spam. Biggest boon I've seen people do is join A Lavigny Duval for her crazy bounty payout bonuses at rank2(?) that stack with her systems 40% bounty turn in already. If you like Soniv we can discuss the pro's and cons of the powers at somepoint? | ||

I am tempted to rejoin to the Justice Lady Arissa Duval simply so I can get them fun looking Imperial Hammers. Also to work towards Elite combat at somepoint with the inclusion of 1.4 Hazardous RES dropping soon. Besides that I can't really see myself joining any of the current powers but I've been told that the system can in theory support more powers and that further powers will be from playergroups. Rather that happens or not remains to be seen. Also in a few days I think I'm getting a million credit bounty on my head so I'll have you collect it if that's the case. | ||

Youtube videos aren't helping much and it took me 10 minutes to learn how to turn off warp drive LOL Uhh if you're around Friday around this time I can do a stream and discuss/answer questions if you'd like. Or just name a day and I'll see what I can do. Just note I can teach controls and buttons and tips but actually flying and what buttons to push to do so effectively I can't do unless you use a controller and keyboard setup like I do. I will try however. | ||

I've got two multi cannons worth 40k each (don't know the exact name). I've been just straight ripping kids if I get into a fight. Those two plus two pulse cannons and I kill people fast Good thing to note: if you buy a ship, watch your insurance cost on it. Don't want to die with not enough money in the bank to cover! Another tip: if you are at a black market station and there are lots of missions, grab the missions with cargo that is illegal and if they are too far to drive just sell it on the black market. few missions have been worth 55k if I travel two galaxies away but instead I just sell it on the black market for 30-40k and move on. | ||
