Finally made it to Baron rank... and the Clipper

[Laursen]

Hello Laursen, welcome! Have a look around, we're playing a big variety of games here. Are you playing anything else besides Elite: Dangerous? And if you're up for it; you can find most of us in TeamSpeak as well, feel free to join in!

I am not the most hardcore gamer around mostly because my taste in games are often not the same as most.

Play RuneScape on my 13th year or so (its a hobby I share with my wife)
Assasins Creed on Playstation, GTA5 On playstation, X-series though I never got into X-Rebirth basically played that series as a substitute for Elite 2: Frontier.
Looking very much foward to No Mans Sky

Ohh Skyrim on Pc of course I like open World/sandboxy kinda games.


And I just figured out I kinda Hijacked the post about Little P's amazing New position with the Magnificient Empire and his new Ship. Sorry about that :s maybe another place to post stuff like that to not mess it up more?

Back on Topic

How do you plan on outfitting your Clipper? what weapons and modules etc? what do you plan on using it for?

Me I plan on using it for everything from combat to exploration and I want it A grade as much as possible (51m for a 7a shield!!) My weapons are currently 2x class 3 G Beams and 2 x class 2 G Multicannon

Any thoughts?

Hi Laursen, I'm just trading with it at the momnet as it's got more cargo than my Type 7 had and is a hell of a lot nicer place to be

I have got mainly defensive modules, point defense, chaff etc. I do have four gimballed pulse lasers if I absolutely cannot get away and need to fight, but until I get enough money together to outfit it properly for offensive duties I'll be mainly running from a fight due to the high costs of repair

All in good time, now I have my Clipper (like you I considered it my goal) I;'m in no rush for credits. Just going to do some trading, listen to some chilled out music and slowly build up a balance until I can get myself my next goal - a kitted out Type 9. That will be my trading ship and the Clipper will never be sold... it's just too damn good looking

Your loadout looks good, how much do the beams drain the distributor, I bet they eat it up pretty good.

I agree, getting it A class is going to take some doing, the modules are a bit pricey :icon_eek:

Keep in mind that I have not been doing much combat with them yet (on a slow laptop at the moment that can basically only do trade ) and I am only ranked novice with around 200 kills under my belt so i dont do combat much at all.

BUT with that said Im actually rather amazed with the beams, I use a beam on shield/ multicanon on hull setup ...but with my new 2 beams I kinda feel (and this is just my feelings I have no Scientific test about it) that they take Down the hull faster then the 2g multi cannons so I when I have been fighting I have not swaped weapons. As for the distributor im running max on everything but thrusters (6D) and Shields (4A). So it does not feel too bad.

My advice would be getting the 6A power distributor as fast as possible, its only like 3-4m credits where rest of the 6A modules are around 16m each

sorry if my text are sometimes a bit messy but its all so clear in my head...not so much when i try to put it in writting :s

Hej Welcome Laursen, i wouldn't worry about that too much really

I took your advice and got the A6 Distributor after considering I need more boost speed to escape interdictions. Then I decided to tool myself up, so I have tooled her up with four gimballed pulse lasers, x2 class 3 and x2 class 2. They certainly pack a punch, a Cobra can be dispatched in seconds, and it gives me a chance against any pesky Asps that interdict me with a full cargo hold!

With the loadout I have, fully laden with cargo I can boost to 415 constantly, speed never drops below 408 so I can outrun most things if the fight gets too much. The Clipper is a fast bird :icon_cool:

I have B6 thrusters so next thing is to get an A6 in there to max out the speed, then put a Class 6 shield on there. Then I won't be running anymore

I was playing around with Bounty hunting yesterday. Bought a class 7C shield and tried to hunt an elite anaconda.....man im happy for the speed I had *No* idea what I was doing and the conda apparently DID!

Can I add you in game? the one problem I have with elite is i have no one to really share it with. My wife listens politely and talks a bit but she does not play it.

Oh tell me about it, they have really ramped up the difficulty with the Elite Anacondas, which I think is a great idea. I think no ship should be able to take down an Anaconda one on one, it should be something that requires teamwork from multiple ships. It means we will have something to do when wings is released

As for adding me please do

Aquila Oculus

Once you've done that add our private group (same name) and you can add the people that belong to that to your friends list too.

Also, you can join our teamspeak server to have a little chat if you want, you can see if there's anyone in the elite dangerous channel from here by looking at the teamspeak info panel on the right hand side

Once wings is released we will be meeting up a lot more as it will make co-op play a lot easier

 

[Laursen]

Well I tried adding you ....and joining the Group but not sure if it worked or not :O

 

[little P]

Yep, it worked See you in space CMDR
