Done with Destiny (Off-Topic)

I guess I finally got bored with it. I might come back whenever they release the next expansion in the fall, but I'll probably wait to see what the previews and/or reviews say about it before I jump back in. I'm playing Elite Dangerous on the xbox now so if anyone else gets that game, come wing up with me sometime. :)

It's more about DBO than Destiny really. You guys rock! If you send me an invite I might still join up, but I just haven't been in the mood for a while now.

I'm taking a month off, but it's because it's summer and I've got places to go. This month I will have driven from Tennessee to Michigan to Louisiana to Texas, back to Tennessee, then to New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. I haven't been dragging my Xbox along with me.

Robigo is a system at the distant edge of colonized space, which hosts little more than a tiny space station. It grew infamous late last year for offering absurdly high-paying delivery missions, and even more lucrative smuggling opportunities. If you had the time and right equipment, you could make in a single run what most bounty hunters make in a month.

I took a screenshot of the bulletin board the first time I docked because my friend refused to believe what I was telling him:

Sadly, the station soon began to experience mechanical problems (a lot of people suspect sabotage by disruptive players), and pilots had to look elsewhere for business.

Yep, I used a DBS to hit the top 10% on the bounty hunting community goal last weekend. That got me up to ~34 million credits. Now I have a fully kitted Asp Explorer and a Vulture. I tried going up to a Vulture before but you need a lot of credits to make it a good combat ship. My DBS was much better for the money I had at the time.

Well, time for me to work overtime, then. Been a while since I've played. Let's see if my trade route still exists.

Almost 15m in that ship. At least it's fun to fly, so I'm happy.

Consider dual large multi-cannons, so you can shunt more power to engines and systems. It really opens that ship up.

Dunno how that'll work out. Will try it out.

Presently, I have to shut down a few systems whenever I deploy weapons. I don't remember off-hand what I shut down, but I do skirt the edge with the FTL drive.

This is the build I'm going to try. you can swap out one of the multi-cannons for a laser weapon of some sort. Use lasers for shields, then once the shields are down, use the multi-cannons to take out their hull. Laser weapons are more effective against shields while kinetic weapons are more effective against hulls.

Multi-cannons are work horses, for sure. Overall power draw isn't bad, but the biggest thing is the drain on your weapons capacitor is significantly reduced. You can run 1 pip to weapons nearly all day long, which is a great boon to systems and/or engines.

I don't even know what that means yet. Honestly, I'm going in a bit dark on purpose. The flavor text of the game reminded me of my favorite shareware game ever. I'm sure it isn't totally analogous, but I love the idea of setting out in an unknown universe with nothing but a lowly shuttle-craft and trading/fighting my way to the top.

Muhahaha!

+1 for using the fuel rats if you get stuck without gas. However, it's easy to avoid if you know the tricks. First, when you plot a route on the galaxy map, a solid line indicates you have enough gas and a dashed line indicates that you do not. If you don't want to run out along the way, one option is to get a fuel scoop but some stars cannot be scooped. To avoid those follow these instructions: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=89747
