Yikes! Charon is scary!

The blast plate is pretty good and yo ucan get a pretty penny for it.
though I do vaguely remember this topic being started wayyy back in 2008?

Drakes don't have blast plate any more.

They're using Advanced Reactive Armor, IIRC.

Unfortunatly it's cheaper stuff, but... :/

It also means that Drakes lose some of their battering-ramness. Still, they're easier to kill.

Well, it makes saving korolov easier

Wow, thanks folks.

Decided to mine as much as I could, got several mules as well so my funds have grown a bit.

I do have a NAMI, looted one with a +30% in blue (damage, I assume) awhile back, so have kept in a mule as I figured I'd want/need it later, and I started saving up missiles from the first system.

Picked up the S500 and applied a 20% shield enhance I'd been saving up and a Shuriken from the arena shops, have not seen a dual particle yet. Have yet to replace that polyceramic, but should not be a issue with all the ore I've gathered. Glad I found a solar panel early on, my lil sapph is quite the gas guzzler now, hehe.

Gonna continue mining as I've nearly mined every system pre-charon now, is there a in-depth guide somewhere? , so far have just blasted every rock I see but something tells me there is a more efficient method.

Whats a Volkov? Don't think I've seen that anywhere.

Did I mention I love my solar panel?

:edit: Found a advanced plasteel at a tinkerer on the cheap, so the polyceramic is no more.

Volkov is a wingman; you get him when you become a korolov legend (ie, killing kronosaurus)

yes, +XX% in blue is a damage enhancement.

Ah, cool.

Only have one Korolov station so far, and they don't seem to like me. Have checked in multiple times, but they have not had a mission for me yet.

well, gas guzzler was a understatement.

How soon do the 150w reactors start showing up, as of this moment the drain is more then 50% of my total charge so it's draining way fast. Any other way to increase the charge and or efficiency?

[Lugar]

Ugh..

While sitting on top of a star (refueling), had a couple plague gunships arrive and attack, this was fine, as their attacks did not seem to penetrate the star.. til they did.

Now I can't get anywhere to decon fast enough, and I've tried 5 times.


YASD?

You're running an S500 on a ... 50MW reactor, right? (S500 is 30MW?)

Anyways, I skimp on shields & go right for the high-end armor; armor is now more important than shields.

S500 is 30mw, I'm using a 100mw reactor.

Did manage to get decon'd finally on the 7th try, lol. Am considering downgrading my shield actually, tho am not sure which would be best at this point.

[Ttech]

Definitively do not sit at any station when its being attacked, it does not help you at all

[Aury]

Oh yeah. Don't sit on stations. Bad idea. Unless you know that the station won't die for sure (ie, centauri attacking a CWmetro)

[Lugar]

Wasn't a station, was a star.

Was using my solar panel to refuel.

[alterecco]

Sitting on dead stations is OK though.

And stars are shoot through (i guess you figured that one out the hard way)

Yea.. I was confused I guess, nothing else seemed to be able to get in, and I certainly couldn't return fire so figured it was safe.

[Aury]

The red dwarf & giant stars however don't have the shoot-through problem.

Not sure I understand that..

red dwarfs and giants can be shot through, while everything else can't or ?
