High-tech systems have the best inventory, look there. The more population the better.

If you can afford Advanced Discovery Scanner and Detailed Surface Scanner already, fit it to something like Hauler, Cobra or Asp depending on what you've got to spend and D-rate everything except A-rated FSD, maybe downgraded A-shield, and a decent fuel scoop, optionally AFMU just in case since it weighs nothing.

If you want to scan stuff for your exploration rating it'll always be time intensive, but having higher jump range will help you get to neutron star fields a little quicker. Maybe 4D life support too since you won't make it back to a starport in 25 minutes if your canopy cracks anyway.

Also A-graded life support becomes utterly pointless the moment you move further than 25 minutes away from the nearest port.
>>
>>147009058
But that wasn't it. Exploit was selling slaves to Robigo themselves.
You would pick up all the missions that required you to transfer 100+ slaves, abandon mission and sell slaves for 10000cr a ton, refresh the board and do it until your brain melts
>>
>>147009380
Wouldn't that tank your Imperial rank? And why would I do that when they were paying me in a very nearly 1m/1ton ratio?

Oh whoops I didn't read the bit about picking up those huge quantity missions. Yeah, I guess I can see how that'd be good since they never seemed to pay well.
>>
>>147009631

No, hilariously the exact opposite. The rep you got from trading 100 slaves to the station covered the rep loss from abandoning the mission and then some.

>>147009663

Just throttle to zero once the carebear stare starts on your friendship drive when jumping. Also the game automatically zeros your throttle if you're alt-tabbed out of the game while coming out of a jump.
>>
>>147009631
New?
Your rank can never decrease. Only your reputation but selling large amounts of slaves increases your reputation.
You have to travel how far and how long for that 1m/ton? That way you just had to refresh the board, sell and get 2~2.5mil every 2-3min.
>>
>>147009994

80s retro aesthetic with some hipster iships thrown in. But the ishit looks good, sounds good and flies good.

The only thing that troubles me is that Imperial stuff is multipurpose and overall rather peaceful. Aren't galactic empires supposed to be super evil and full of backstabbing and murder? Instead it has my beloved anime princess; instead Federation got numerous warships and the prez, whom many here mistakenly take for SpaceTrump, who traded his president spacelimo for two battlecruisers like total warmongering dickhead. And he looks ugly.

Hudson is a faggot and not Trump, let's stay away from stupid feds in our interstellar endeavours and go with Empire/Indie shit.

Also, who's Archon? Some edgy intergalactic metal fan?

So on the Python and FDL
Does the FDL's 1 huge hardpoint and 4 Medium hardpoints outperform the Python's 3 large and 2 medium?
I know in the FDL you're going to have a much easier time getting your weapons on target due to higher manoeuvrability and speed plus stronger shields so it's overall a better ship for combat, but which one's weapons have the higher potential for damage output?
>>
>>147012014

The Python has slightly better burst and sustained DPS assuming your can stay on target.

I remember, once upon a time in the BETA, FDEV told us that the current hud customization was just a placeholder. That eventually we'd have more fine grained control of the hud elements and could customize our hud without fucking with the radar display.

Then the dads were ecstatic about their rudimentary level of control. I think this was one of the first cases of FDEV letting a feature slide off of their to-do list because the dads were content with mediocrity.

Those were the good days. Too bad making money through random bounties is bad so Ftroop nerfed it into the ground. I guess it kind of is since there's absolutely no way to make decent money in this game other than smuggling missions, exploits, or grinding bounties but hey, atleast back then you didn't have to grind RES I guess.

Not much reason now. Back when they first added it to the game though, progression was a lot slower so it was a decent stepping stone toward a Cobra as it's faster/more maneuverable than a Hauler while carrying more, as well as tougher and better armed than an Eagle.

Why wouldn't you just switch to solo?

Is everyone just doing long range missions out of there?
>>
>>147029102
Open private solo every 5 minutes senpai
>>
>>147030824
I do missions between sothis/ceos but still take long haul missions elsewhere. When I can't take anymore cargo I cash them in.

Sometimes those long hauls get redirected to sothis/ceos too.
>>
>>147030824
When I got to Sothis in Asp and once I ranked up with factions I saw a whole lot more long range missions than smuggling so those seem like the exception but I don't mode switch. With a decent jump range it's perhaps faster than waiting for smuggling missions.

>>147027718
No

>>147072970
just gather a shitload of stuff and roll shit, even it that's not the shit you want. Takes 3 rolls of rank x to get to rank x+1 IIRC
>>
>>147072970
the modified embedded firmware is the biggest pain in the ass to grind, the rest of it is pretty easy

the firmware only comes from missions and scanning surface base data points, so either refresh a mission board in a system with a bunch of allied minor factions, or go farm high security planetary bases

getting grade 5 access is pretty easy, just roll loads of cheap shitty upgrades and don't apply them

>>147074061
you will have to reload every 90 shots like normal, but the reserves never decrease, so you can just spam them indiscriminately
>>
There should be an engineer mod for multicannons that introduces belt feed to get rid of the 90 round mag limit.

I can already see the dads now: "YOU DON'T NEED HIGH CAPACITY ASSAULT BELTS. MUH CHILLUNZ"
>>
>>147074295
there isn't a specific mod that does this, but there's a special effect called auto loader that does exactly that

increased ammo capacity mod + auto loader special effect is a good choice for extended RES or CZ sessions

lads, what were the good grind systems for imp/fed rank again?
>>
>>147074597
fed - donations in 17 draconis if you have the dosh for it

emp - data delivery from shu babassi last I heard
>>
>>147074442
Oh shit son.
>>
>>147074678

17 Draconis is still in civil war, so the d'nation missions are few and far between.
>>
>>147074678
do i need horizons?
>>
>>147074597
if you like combat, find a system with a fed/emp minor faction at war and stack CZ missions, you make good money once you have decent rep, and you'll gain ranks pretty quickly too
>>
>>147075006
not for 17 draconis, and I'm pretty sure you don't need it for shu babassi either, but you should double check

>and you'll gain ranks pretty quickly too

>>
>>147077193
reladadly speaking, ofc
>>
>>147077515
so is it quick or not? i don't really feel like flying all the way to shu babassi but if CZ is going to take forever i'm not doing that
>>
>>147077786
desu the only truly quick way is donation grinding, everything else is okay at best, but there isn't a good place to grind donations for empire, so it's either long ranged delivery or CZ stacking
>>
Lads lads LADS
Cutter or corvette?
>>
>>147078809
Vette for combat. Cutter for trade.
>>
>>147074597
>>147074678
be sure to check the outpost at shu babassi as well as the station, can stack over a dozen missions to the neighbouring system, probably wasted a day skipping it grinding to baron that way (they're planetary though, not sure if the board gives you regular ones if you don't have Horizons)

It would need a lot more than just that. Like an actual economy, or about 20 other mission types that have come standard in video games for decades. There is discussion of shit that should have been included with ED's base game all the time. That's pretty much the only meaningful thing about the game any longer.
