I'm currently deciding if I want to make a mamba build, do some Frontline to unlock an engineer, or join the latest gold rush (Don't need the money, but had huge fun back when AXI discord was very active/social with 16+ people in an instance)

I'm finishing up a mamba build, which I'll have some fun with soon. Then I'll probably disappear into the black for a while exploring.

My brother is just about to rejoin the game after a year out, so I'm frantically trying to get my suits and guns upgraded and engineered enough to help him in Odyssey. I'll also be doing a bit of Maelstrom spelunking soon to scrape at that Titan!

I recently purchased one of every ship in the game: the goal is to do a full build with engineering for each of them. I've had a long time rule on this play through that I won't own two of any ship.

Currently contemplating a Cannon/Pacifier/Cyto build. Force shell and Corrosive/Drag for experimental, but not sure what engineering mods to use on the weapons.

Sounds like my PvE piracy krait mk2 build. I'm using pack hounds instead of pacifiers though

Man I need to get back into E:D. I barely recognise what you’re talking about but it gets me hyped anyway

Shameless plug; if you need a player group check out Ironheart Corporation.

My current project is to get a Sol permit. After that? Who knows.

I’m finding that developing 3rd party apps that can help others has been really fulfilling.

Working on suit engineering. I have all 3 suits maxed out with slots, just deciding on which upgrades to apply to which suits.

I was out in the black in my Anaconda when they did the event for double engineered 6A FSD. I could have used the hell out of that drive but didn't get it because I was out exploring.

Now it's unavailable for some reason, unlike the 5A. So I quit and haven't been back. It seems like a petty reason to leave a game after so many hours, but I just ran out of reasons to keep playing and that little "fuck you" tipped the scale just enough.

What's the latest good rush right now? And what kind of Mamba do you want to build?

[–] FenrisDrayton@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Anti-xeno combat and exobiology are good money, wing mining or wing massacre missions with a full wing is really good money

[–] kender242@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Elite really shines when the gameplay encourages co-op interactions, and falls flat when instancing discourages it. It was great when the buffed mining ... a year ago? Seems like it should have always been a legit way to get money over combat.

My Discount Cutter (7A Universal Multi Limpet Controller gives you so many limpets!)

Ant-Xeno is still a thing https://antixenoinitiative.com/ but I feel like some community focus was lost when there was more to do than attack interceptors. Maybe I should unlock the new caustic heatsinks and explore a maelstrom?

Once the samples delivery started it kind of killed the war for me: I'm the person who wants to casually fight interceptors. Humanity took back like 80 systems this week with near zero invasions. Although that's cool for the groups hardcore into the war, makes it real hard for me to participate
