Elite: Dangerous. Assault on Compromised Navigation Beacon. CQC 1.4 Update

Compromised Navigation Beacon is another new place to visit if you want some action - here you can find all kinds of ships up to elite rank and usually there are many ships at same time and around 50-60% are wanted, so it's a good place to bounty hunt and combat rank as most enemies will be dangerous to elite.
There is no police response at Compromised Navigation Beacon, so if usually when you are under attack there will come authority ships to aid you then here nobody will come and you are on your own.
I prefer hazardous Resource Extraction sites because there are more wanted large ships (almost all large ships i saw there were wanted) and action is almost non stop even if you visit that in a wing, while at Compromised Navigation Beacon there are many clean large ships that are hunting pirates as well and often we had no large enemies to kill at all - only diamondbacks, eagles, cobras, vultures, but at least we have some options now to choose from if we want to jump into quick action.

This is what I wanted the RES sites to be like.
Also the turning on the FAS is amazing.

+dsagentutube 8.4 seconds :)

[@KorneliusBriedis]

+Mikkel Galsgaard i am playing with macros to find best way that suits me :) it's actually very useful, now i just to get used to it because i changed my controls for power management like 5 minutes before i went into combat ;)

[@ukdnbmarsh]

+Kornelius Briedis an idea, would you cause more ramming damage if you had cargo bays full of goods ???

[@KorneliusBriedis]

Gixxer Rider not really, bulkheads help, also cargo means less shield cell banks

[@HotAkPL]

I have definitely seen Anaconda in Compromised Navigation Beacon(CNB). It may be you just having bad RNG.

[@KorneliusBriedis]

+Pietro Lo yeah, i have seen 2 in 2+ hours, at hazardous res i had like 5 in 50 mins ;)

[@HotAkPL]

Kornelius Briedis Well, nav beacon always has slightly worse spawn then a RES, so sounds about right.

[@KorneliusBriedis]

+Pietro Lo it really depends, just spent 30mins in hazardous res and had almost no enemies...rrrr ;)

[@HotAkPL]

Kornelius Briedis That is some bad RNG right there.

[@ToCoSo]

Hmm so another procedurally generated res spawn.. Looks fun though...and the cannonball of a ship you have looks kinda fun too

[@KorneliusBriedis]

+tomcooksound yeah, it's also very effective and save a lot of precious ammo ;)

[@ToCoSo]

+Kornelius Briedis haha a wing of them with no ammo could just smash there way through most things!!

[@KorneliusBriedis]

tomcooksound true :) just too few internals make for too few shield cell banks meaning after each smashing there must be some "cool down" period for shields to recharge on their own ;)

[@ToCoSo]

I hope they bring out some monster dreadnaught ships for guys like you with big money, i got to a fdl and a clipper a few months ago and am pretty happy so am not chasing money any more but it would be good for the elite guys to have things to aim for, especially if it could be multi-crewed ships that have different subsystems so someone could be on weapons someone on shileds and someone flying, but maybe the peer to peer nature of the game would make this impossible. But yeah if you could buy a ship for a few billion that would be awesome....

[@KorneliusBriedis]

tomcooksound there will be corvettes for rich guys and at some point DLC with huge or even capital ships to manage ;)
also asteroid bases probably will be expensive

[@mierzhen]

How are you adjusting power distribution that quickly? are you using a programmed macro on your joystick?

[@KorneliusBriedis]

+mierzhen yes ;)

[@GR-bx2yv]

+mierzhen On x55 Throttle by using Scroll wheel you can do this even without any macros..

[@KorneliusBriedis]

Gary II hhh, scroll wheels only have 2 axis.

[@mierzhen]

+Kornelius Briedis Well, last time i played Elite Dangerous, for some reason my X55 would always screw up, controls wouldn't respond... guess there wasn't an official driver for windows 10 yet xP

[@KorneliusBriedis]

mierzhen no idea, several of my frierds are playing on win10 with x55 for quite some time now.
saitek even released new drivers for win10 so you can set up macros under win10 for your x55.

[@GR-bx2yv]

This 1.4 update for main game (no CQC) to me looks like copy-paste and edit little bit update..
Standart NB - police = Compromised Navigation Beacon.
EZ - police = hazardous EZ
Ships: lets take existing (Eagle, dropship) and create variants.
Powerplay = 0 updates :(
Sure its better then nothing, but in the end not a lot of new content...
