And if you like turrets... Try the type 10 defender. It's build in the way, that if you mount turrets on him, there's almost no blindspot for them. It's the only ship built this way, i think
A common tactic for two people in a wing is to each bring a type 10 with turreted weapons and 2 small fixed 'healing beams' in front (engineered with Concordant Sequence). They just face each other and hold down buttons.
On my second account, I made my first billion with an AFK Type 10 build.
I am trying the Type-10, and it is indeed as you said, no blind spot, this feature is very cool in ED. I love it
And if you like flying the fighters, an AFK build works really well.
@@57thornsi need to do this. I love fighters!
You vídeos made me try ED. I'm learning and already hooked. SC is not a match for this yet. ED is way better. We get fun, instead of bugs.
As a long time SC player, as soon as I started ED, I feel a fresh air, and I don't have to worry too much about the constant 30ks CTDs, especially do recordings on SC, sometimes take a whole day because of those bugs.
Another tip, never run into an opponent with 1 pip is SYS. 1 or 2 pips in SYS make your shields weak. On the other hand, 4 pips in SYS increase the damage resistance by 60%. Before you ram something, put 4 pips into SYS and you will see the difference.
You can still collect the materials that were dropped by the npcs. You just need to deploy your cargo hatch and scoop them up.
I was about to post the same thing. It takes a little longer to scoop up materials with the hatch, but it’s actually a lot of fun for someone who enjoys piloting their ship, and is at a minimum worth doing if you see something really rare floating out there after a kill. But then again, I’m one of the weird commanders who always insists upon landing/launching his ships manually, so take that into account, I suppose.
Indeed. Almost forgot I can still manually scoop them up.
Keep all those turrets on the class 3, 2 and 1 hardpoints, but put 2 class 4 multicannons on those class 4 hardpoints and you Will be amazed how cool those bad boys are
Hello there! Just stumbled upon your channel. It's genuinely uplifting to witness a new player like you sharing your adventures with such remarkable quality. Your content seems to perfectly align with what the community could use at this moment - a pure, unadulterated appreciation of the game :) When you will consider venturing into the realm of engineering in the future, gathering raw materials from crystalline shards, unlocking guardian modules, or tackling Thargoid encounters in Pleiades, please remember that I'm here to offer a ride on my Fleet Carrier or extend a helping hand in any way possible. It would be my pleasure to contribute to your content creation that way! Best of luck, see you in the black :).
Thx cmdr, see you in the black
If your target launches chaff, switch to a different fire group. That prevents your turrets from missing and wasting coolness.
great tip, thx!
But don´t forget. The turrets can also hit sometimes the police-ships. Then You should jump to another system and pay the fee. But theres also an experimental effect to heal with the lasers friendly ships ...
That effect works only for your wingmen i think
we have healing lasers in ED, this is wonderful
Gimbals do less damage than fixed and turrets do less still. In big ships I tend to use fixed on my main weapons and turrets for some of the smaller hardpoints. Have various engineering effects that make them more "utility" weapons rather than DPS. Getting constantly hit does prevent the enemy shields starting regenerating, tho.
For best cinematic experience, you should multicrew into someone else's ship and then just use cinematic cameras while they fight.
I just wondet why they did not implement different cameras views, those come standard with every flight sim. That would help massively video developpers to make videos and market the game.
I completely agree that a PVE build has to be based on a core concept with secondary effects playing a major role. I like a lot the turrets on small weopon points for their secondary effect. Like small fragment with dazzle shell and small turret cannon with dispersal field. Those two protect you in the big ship more efficiently than chaff with way more endurance.
I played e.d for more years than i care to mention but its nice to see a new player having fun :)
This is awesome, hearing your excitement is contagious. I started played about a week ago.
On my corvette, I have the two side hardpoints on turret mounts, since they can hit almost anything above or below. I have the engineering mod on them that regens shields of friendly targets, so if I'm in a wing and see one of them losing shields, I can instantly target them and freshen them up.
This is wonderful to know that we can do that in ED
Never thought I'd hear someone so overjoyed about turreted lasers in Elite :)
All kidding aside, glad you like them. FYI, your first impression was not wrong: IF you have human crew, they can control the turrets manually. Otherwise they do what you experienced here.
You can drop into a SLF (Ship-Launched Fighter, like the Condor or Taipan) and as long as you set your turrets to "Fire at Will" your main ship will follow you around and back you up. This only works with turrets, with gimbaled or fixed guns you will have to hire NPC crew and until you rank them up, they won't actually fire your weapons very much so they are somewhat useless at lower ranks.
The fixed SLFs are very easy to hit with due to their agility, and they deal equal DPS to a Class 4 Hardpoint, so flying one on the Corvette it's like you have three class 4 guns. Go with the Pulse Laser SLF of your choice, though I don't recommend the Gu-97 because you never need that much agility and it's so weak it can easily be destroyed by accidental friendly fire. You can also try the Plasma Repeater and Beam Laser variants of the Taipan and Condor, but I don't recommend either. The Plasma Repeater just deals less damage and requires you to lead your shots for no benefit, while the Beam Laser Taipan, somehow, does less actual DPS than the Pulse Laser one while generating more heat. (It does have a heatsink launcher but that's not sustainable for long.)
Also, if you ever get tired of flying your Corvette, you can stick a trio of engineered Beam Turrets on top of the Krait Mk II, then use Plasma Slug Railguns in the size 2 slots. This will allow you to focus all your efforts on landing the railgun shots while the turrets passively attack whatever they can. You can try other guns, like MCs or Shock Cannons, but the Plasma Slug Rails have effectively infinite ammo, so between them and the lasers up top, you can stay out there fighting for hours if you want to.
This is so awesome, so many weapon choices and combinations to try and with engineering, the options are expanded a lot more, can't wait to try all of them. And as for the SLF, I usually use fix beam lasers for all my fighter, I will try the pulse laser for it.
When I first heard your videos I thought you were Sebastion from MRTV channel making a video game channel. Love the enthusiasm, btw. Good stuff.
Thank you!
Another great tip if you don’t know it already is if your going to crash into an asteroid or a player put all your pips to sys it makes it so you take less shield damage. Have fun ramming people with this info
lol...awesome tips, definitely make the best us of it, thx cmdr
How's it going Foxy!
Keep up the great work in learning everything you can about E:D/O!
I have another set of tips and tricks for you and the other Commanders out there, and as usual we'll take them in the order I see them in your video, so...
1) Turreted vs Gimballed vs Fixed:
1a) Fixed we@pons have no arc or fire (target must be directly ahead) but do more damage and range than the other two types. They also tend to have less heat buildup.
1b) Turreted we@pons have the greatest arc of usability, (Only limited to line of sight and distance. This does mean that a we@pon on top of your ship cannot target an enemy underneath you, etc.) but do less damage and tend to have the least range and highest heat buildup. These can be run off ship systems OR manned by other Commanders or NPC Crew. (I believe)
1c) Gimballed we@pons are the middle ground between the two.
2) Any Gimballed or Turreted we@pon can be set to "Fire At Will" in the right hand panel. (default key 4) (I don't remember the exact tab off hand, so you'll need to look around in there. And I don't remember if this applies to Fixed or not. Someone help me out here?)
3) If you have the engineering materials to do so, you CAN "Synthesize" (create while flying) 4 Limpets at a time. Right hand panel. Inventory Tab. Synthesis Sub-Menu. This also works for many other systems, including @mmo. Some allow for basic, improved, and premium versions. (Limpets only get basic. Sorry guys, no smart Limpets.)
4) Without Limpets, you CAN open your cargo scoop, target an individual material and fly toward it. One of your holographic HUDs will change to give you a Cargo-Scoop-View that you can use to swoop your ship over and catch the material with.
5) At 5:30 on the top right of your screen you received a message, "Unable to receive data! Storage Full." This indicates you have reached the maximum capacity for 1 of the many engineering material types. I highly suggest finding a Materials Trader (Data) and turning some of that type into something else so you can keep collecting. There are also Manufactured and Raw Materials Traders.
6) There are no Size 4 Turreted we@pons. Size 4 is limited to Gimballed and Fixed.
7) Are you using a Kill Warrant Scanner? This optional inclusion gives you more money if you run a kill warrant scan (not the basic ship scan) on a ship before firing,
8) Not all ships show battle damage. (I wish more did)
9) Crew will not open fire on a ship unless you have already fired at it, making the other ship hostile. The "engage my target" is used to focus their fire on a single specific ship if there are multiple hostiles and crew are choosing the wrong one. They also often "can't do that" if they're already focused on the ship in question.
Keep up the great work Commander. You'll have your first Elite ranking soon, allowing access to Shinrarta Dezhra, the home of the most famous Station in the game, Jameson Memorial. That station sells almost every module, and is home station to a large segment of the playerbase.

Thanks again for these detailed explanation for me and all those new players who reads this, very very helpful and detailed. o7 cmdr!
It's good to see you having so much fun 😁
The T10 Defender can mount more weapons than the Corvette, if you're loving the turrets. There people who build them, park them in a conflict area and then walk away from the game for a day. It's a way to make money. You have to set the turrets to fire at will from the ship menu. This is called an AFK build.
Can confirm. I'm one of those people. It pulls about $800M daily.
I am gonna build one, the time I edit my videos and replying comments, my ship could just fight for me, that is genius. Thx!
Next do all missle launchers. Oh and u should do video on powerplay next (supporting a faction) it wil temporarily unlock UNIQUE weapons or shields u can buy and stock up on then u can switch to another faction. Youll figure it out
I just did the powerplay video, thx for the recommendations, and will try out those missiles as well.
I love seeing your enthusiasm for Elite.
Hehe. Yes, turrets are fun. They have lower DPS and higher heat (look at your ship’s heat vents are opening up), but keep the pressure on the target.
I have a xeno build. with a mix of gimbaled and turrets. The turrets help with the fast ships, and keep the pressure up.
Btw, turrets have three fire modes. Target, fire at will and forward (you can fire them without a target lock, like a fixed weapon).
You can?! I am gonna check it out, thx for this info
@@Foxyloxy.X You find this in the right panel, in the ship tab. Along with leading / trailing targeting.
Heh, another great video Foxy; I love watching you enjoy this game. Can I suggest, just for a personal chill-out moment, you take a ship to Earth (preferably one with a large canopy) and put yourself in an orbit position over your home country, put on a favourite music track and have a glass of your favourite tipple to hand; it's another rite of passage.
That Sol visit is in my schedule, I am planning a day to just visit earth.
Fun stuff. Just remember, npc fighter crews take your xp and your money. If your goal is to make the rank of Combat Elite, they will slow that progress. Once you get Elite rank in combat they'll still take a but of your money, but the xp matter will no longer matter. Glad you found something really awesome here in Elite. o7
Thanks for the heads up.
make sure to go to ship settings and select "target at will"... especially if AFK Use INARA for all your shopping needs!!
I also HIGHLY recommend using your kill warrant scanner before attacking other ships.. make sure they have a bounty so you don't end up with a bounty on you...
ALSO you can Synthesize limpets..... or restock ammo in field.. there are a number of things you can replenish... especially the life support!!!
LOL you have to engage the target before the pilot will engage.. every mistake you have made, we have all made also... thx 4 posting.. fun to watch others learning..
The problem with "target at will" is that it can split your fire among a bunch of ships and take longer to kill any of them. (while they're picking away at your shields) Having the turrets fire on your targets lets you melt each target in turn much faster even of some of the turrets don't have a firing arc sometimes.
And you don't really need a kill warrant scanner. Your ship will auto scan anything targeted in front of you and tell you if it's wanted. A kill warrant scanner will get you more money in bounties if they're wanted by multiple factions, but you can easily get by without one.
@@the_omg3242 I park my Type-10 and don't have any trouble with splitting targets... I get jumped by a half dozen pirates all the time but I end up getting them even though I am afk... sometimes just watching...
Got it cmdr, thx!
@@Foxyloxy.X I know much of what I am suggesting has already been suggested more than likely, but in case they miss something.. I was helped a lot when I started out and I hope I can return the favor to others.. thx 4 understanding & wanting comments.. World needs more people like that... 👍🍁 - Lost Buoy
There are 3 modes how Turrets can operate. Select in the right panel under ship and turrets. only forward, only aim and auto. You used auto, only aim means they only fire when you pull the trigger.
I recommend a 7A multi limpet controller and a size 64 or 128 hold full of limpets. You can gather materials with 8 collector limpets at a time, filling up many categories.
You can even bind the limpet launch button to fire 1 or 2 along with your weapons.
Awesome, gonna try that out!
Your videos continue to look gorgeous and the content is excellent too. Brilliant! I've never really tried turrets. I did use one in a multicrew situation with another CMDR piloting the ship and I accidentally hit a police ship due to lag... not good, it got us a bounty on our heads. And I once used them on my own ship but I think I set them to fire wrongly, and at some angles they pointed backwards and I hit my own ship.
Thank you cmdr!
7:54 i would strongly suggest putting size 4 gimballed weapons on those HPs. You tend to keep your targets in front of you anyway. Keep the other turrets where they are to damage or harass ships that are not in the kill zone, and double your firepower when directly facing the enemy.
But that means having to hold down the button. There is something uniquely satisfying about clicking once then just moving the ship as necessary. Like other comments have said though, this is definitely where you use the T-10 though. So much better for the light show.
you make me want to jump back into the game ; ) - great watching you - I have SC too - I think we can appreciate both games - I love Star Citizen from the design factor ... I t's fun to see your excitement
It is good to follow SC's development, it has ups and downs, and it has its own beauty. But ED is a completed game it gives you different experience and is very beautiful as well. Both are great!
The new survey ship kit for the vette looks really good especially in the white colour great video it's nice seeing a new player finding out all this stuff also if you do a reboot your shields will come back with 50% I think
I see, thx for the reboot tips!
@FoxyloxyX no worries if you do reboot you must come to a stop and not be under fire
You can collect stuff without limpets manually flying and open your hatch. Class 4 lasers mostly in "high tech" systems.
Love your enthusiasm 😂
thx cmdr
Equip several turret lasers plus 0DCs to deal with enemy limpets, carry along some cheap commodity like fish, set weps to fire at will mode. Find a low RES and put yourself into a stationary slow spin and watch your ship fight all by itself
I see where this is going, that is what people call afk ships. That is genius
@@Foxyloxy.X It is definitely an easy way to rack up free kills if you're well outfitted, though you likely want to stay in low RES. I tried a haz RES and took quite a beating. I intend to try haz again now that my gunship is very well armored and engineered.
i'm happy your happy lol yeah npc turrets are the holy grail of s.c ! also you deff look into engineers its a grind but the diff is night and day :)
Indeed, I am gonna start engineer like crazy after I tried all the basic missions in ED.
Shinrarta dezhra is a locked system but worth the effort to unlock because Jameson Memorial station has all the ships and equipment in the game.
got it thx
Turret behavior can be changed on the right side panel on the Ship Tab, and you can set them to either fire fixed forward (as if it was a fixed mount), fire on target only (as you were using), or free targeting on any hostile (each turret individually picks a target and shoots it). I don't fully remember, but I think if you leave on free targeting, the ship may fire even when not manned (been a long time since I tested that myself). In general, turrets will deal the same damage as the fixed version of a smaller size (a Size 4 Turret deals same damage as a Size 3 Fixed). The drop is quite a lot, but as you noticed, being able to keep on target almost indefinitely is also good (specially nice on larger and slower ships). And as other people already mentioned, shield recharge (aside from SCBs) only starts after some time not taking damage, which turrets negates easily.
Thanks for such useful info!
Hot garbage turret is another lazy man weapon. I dig.
In the right panel you can set turrets to attack all enemies, just the targeted enemy, or forward-fire (which acts like a fixed weapon)
The NPC can't shoot at your enemy because the turrets fire themselves. If you set them to attack all, the mothership will defend itself (and you don't need an NPC anyway)
I see, thanks for this info
If not already mentioned.... All pips to weapons and also if your shields are low and no one is fighting you, you can reboot while stationary and your shields will go back to 50%
got itthx
Turrets are fun, and really useful on slow turning ships (like the Corvette), but you are right about the DPS. Turreted weapons on average are a little over half as strong as gimballed weapons, and the same goes for gimballed vs fixed. The more manual aiming you have to do, the stronger your weapons are. As you also noticed in this video, they have a REALLY hard time hitting small ships, and even sometimes hit friendlies which turns them against you. As such, turreted weapons are really only good on large ships, which can't turn fast enough to shoot smaller ships with fixed weapons (unless you're just a really good pilot, then anything is possible). If you do use turrets though, it's always a good idea to mix them up a little, like adding some kinetic weapons like multi-cannons for hull damage.
Corvette is not a slow turning ship, though. It's most maneuverable and agile ship out of all big ships.
@@CMDR_RileyAngel Yes, but it's still slower turning than any medium or small ship (without engineering anyway), which is all I meant. Large ships without turrets have a hard time keeping up with smaller ships.
As someone who flies a Krait MK2, it doesn't even take full thrust power to stay behind an unengineered Corvette.
great points, thx cmdr!
'Vette ... oh yes. like them so much I bought 4 LOL. Ahhh - that means you have also unlocked your sol permit. Next target, Voyager probe.
This is in my schedule for a visit to sol
For bounty hunting, turret weapons are good IMO. It deals a lot of damage continuously, you'll find if you try a hazardous res zone (looks like your in a high res zone), then ships will attack you first sometimes and also in small groups (looks like you had mission targets, so wings of 3 etc), for instance if you attacked an eagle the anaconda might have attacked you (if in hazardous) and the fights can be a bit tougher + bounties pay a bit more.
I see, looks like I need to get there with other cmdrs and be prepared
@@Foxyloxy.X Your videos and attitude are very positive, it's why I kept coming back. I got you on Inara now (I'm PogaZeus) so hit me up if you wanna try some new things.. I'm looking to try Thargoids again (tried in horizons but didnt get very far) ..I just commented a similar comment but I think yt hid it. Might be certain words I typed lol
Unfortunately or fortunately, size 4 turrets do not exist. 4 size in elite is like a megagun)
Sorvette is not very suited to turrets due to the fact that he is very maneuverable, and what a set of hardpoints he has.
But, this does not mean that the turrets are worse than other guns because of the lower DPS. For some reason, people’s brains are swollen with DPS stat only, but it’s not right to look only at DPS. Why? Now I’ll explain everything.
Characteristics of DPS, shows us information in the "vacuum". That is, this stat is true as long as you can fire the cannon non-stop and without missing. But in combat, these ideal conditions never exist. It takes time to turn around, to aim, and to restore the capacitor. This is why pure DPS means almost nothing.
-A fixed weapon does a lot of damage, but against even a slightly experienced pilot it will be very difficult to hit a lot with it, as well as aiming, and the capacitor this weapon dies out very quickly.
-This is why gimbal weapons are so popular. It almost eliminates the aiming time and lowers the number of misses per second, but it still takes time to turn around and recharge the capacitor.
-And finally, turrets, although they have the smallest DPS, they do not need time to turn around the ship, because they cover the entire space above the point where they are installed, and by themselves rotate very quickly. And no matter how maneuverable the target is, keeping it above or below the ship is not a problem. Of course, the aiming time does not apply to them at all, and minimizing misses they like gimbals. And they consume the capacitor less than all the other guns, what allows them to shoot much longer.
And if suddenly someone else does not understand, all this indicates to us that the weapon is well balanced, and the real DPS in real conditions they have + - the same. Therefore, when equipping a warship with weapons, you need to look not only at the DPS, but also at what kind of ship you are equipping and what you want to achieve from the weapon.
Personally, I love piloting huge impenetrable battlecruisers. The purpose of which is not to blow up one or two opponents very quickly and fly to reload, but to fly around the battle space for a long time and create pressure on the enemy, slowly but surely destroying one ship after another. That's why I'm piloting a beautiful imperial cutter with sick numbers on shield strength. And the weapons are beam laser turrets on the top, which can shoot endlessly, because thanks to the engineers they do not consume the capacitor at all, and on the bottom there are two Pack-Hound Missile Racks. Just in case ;)
In 1vs1 pvp, this assembly, by the way, also knows no defeats. And I don’t even try 1 vs 2, it’s not noble :DDD
Wow, thanks for this wonderful explanation, and yes we sometimes focuses too much on DPS, and tend to forget other factors in real combat situation.
Having a real human player use the turrets makes them immune to chaff. It even removes the jitter completely, making them crazy accurate.
You are also right about there being no size 4 turrets. Gimballed and fixed only.
If you select the turrets to fire at will, they will shoot mulltiple targets at same time.
got it thx
There is no size 4 turrets, Many commanders build AFK T-10's, with engineering yo can sit in a low res for hours without even watching just come back hours later and collect missions and cash in bounties lol
It seems like you could get a fighter bay, and take out the fighter while your ship is stationary shooting its lasers while you pester with a small fighter!
I made this comment without watching until then end😅
😆
When an NPC pilot is in your ship, turreted weapons only fire at aggressive targets (those attacking them or you). The NPC can't activate them. That's why they didn't obey orders.
lol...I see thx!
glad your enjoying it .o7 this is what the game is about doing what you enjoy and having fun .kill those pirates
I just got the Reactive Armor for my Vette last night
Congrats! and can't believe how expensive those armors are
Turrets are a little less powerful than Gimbals unless FD has changed that. Remember TOT is everything in combat.
There is a Type 10 build where you can park it in a low or medium haz. res. with a few tonnes of cargo, set your turrets to auto. and let pirates come to you and die with NO INPUT from the player.... its hard to balance power, shields, weapons and heat but doable with engineering.
I used this 'afk' money/rank maker once or twice I must confess.
that trick does not work for me anymore since frontier enabled the hatch breaker limpets to break through the shields
@@Ohlukei need at least one utility mount with a point defence turret. This shrinks margins for error down but I think it can still be done...
FDev added an occasional Deadly ship in Low RES which will destroy AFK t-10s.
@@Sighman sorry to hear that!! Was thinking about stacking pirate kill missions and doing it again....
@@Ohlukei Still works for me. However, if you're really wanting to stop it, take mission cargo. It cannot be hatch broken.
6:27 that's what i'm saying. Class 4 turrets don't exist. They haven't been added and won't be added.
I would advise you to change that turrets on huge hardpoints from class 3 turrets class, to class 4 gimballs. These are not turrets, but make much more damage than the class 3 turrets.
Generally you can say that two weapons class 1 does the same amount of damage as one class 2, two weapons class 2 does the same amount of damage as one class 3... You get the point. On your current build you're just wasting that two class 4 hardpoints
I see, thx for this size info.
there is no size 4 turrent, just gimbal and fixed
Never seen the value of turrets on a Vette. It maneuvers well enough to not need them. Especially with flight assist off. Better off with gimbaled.
As you like combat you really should give the federal gunship a try
Daka... Daka daka... Daka daka daka... Dakaaaaaa
@@ismaelcarrasco ruclips.net/video/gjZ9LLVkaqI/видео.html
Will try it for sure.
if you switch to your right side panel you can just make limpets.
Yes, if you have iron and nickel raw materials. Seems odd that I can lug around enough materials to make thousands of tons of limpets yet it doesn’t affect my jump range at all!
@@PhilHibbs True, also where do you store it? not that I'm complaining
You can? I am gonna check it out
@@Foxyloxy.X You can synthesize other things like jump range boost injections amd projectile ammunition with damage bonus. Some things you can access from the modules list, like jump boosts, or there's the big list of everything in the Inventory screen.
Turrets suck big time. The DPS loss relative to fixed is huge, for balancing. You lose 50% damage output. Plus they don't work if the target uses chaff. So another 50% loss. You end up with a quarter the possible output and some weapons don't come as turrets.
I strongly suggest agile small/medium ships and learning to fly them to have maximum time on target. A Vulture can kill faster than a Corvette sometimes, but definitely a Chieftain 😉 You will regret the time lost on turrets and large ships someday, trust me. In your video, you hardly do damage, it's mostly the police. That's why the Eagle got away 😜
Fixed weapons rule 💪
Good points
nice laser show. also let an npc hired from starport fly and attack with your main ship while you are in the fighter. your npc gets trained and ranked up this way too. but the npc crew might not be able to use the turrets properly.🙂
ahh, I see. I usually fire the npc before I claim the missions....lol
@@Foxyloxy.X But then you always have a crappy quality NPCs. Hire a bad one and let him rank up and his price will stay low. You've already learned how to make decent money in the game. You can afford to take a bit of a loss to keep a good quality NPC on staff.
@@the_omg3242 This. I've got an Elite NPC at 10%.
Well you can go to haz res to test the build. Let's see how it deals against ennemy AI team.
I wouldn't last long....lol
Then it does not pass the test for PVE build :( . The ultimate test for PVE build to to make single handed wing mission against engineered AI. @@Foxyloxy.X
New player? With a Federal Corvette?
YES.
Did you 'earn' your Corvette doing courier missions? Are you a pencil pushing Admiral? I earned my last 5 ranks with combat only mission with donations to raise my rank to ally with the mission givers. Too bad those lasers won't really help much when taking on other Covettes.
Yes I earned every penny and every rank in this game. And in one of my previous videos, I showed doing cargo and passenger missions with highest paid reputation reward, and also every station I visit, I do as many donation mission as I can find, spent could hundred millions, and that helped me rank up fast and eventually got the corvette. But I have only 1.
@@Foxyloxy.X The intent of my comment was to point out that the Federal Corvette is a Combat Ship. Designed from the wheels up to fight. Courier/cargo/donation mission Admiral's won't have the experience to fully appreciate the combat capabilities of this ship until they get more combat hours in. When you start taking on other Admirals in Corvettes, even though many will have the bonus of engineering, the fight is different. Take one assassination mission that pays ~ 5 mil and you are going up against a 'Vette (in fed territory) and, of course, and NPC Admirial. Then take on three. For me, it is a 36mil cr rebuy. :)
"I'm a new player" shows clip of him flying in a corvette that has atleast an 100 hour grind behind it and is locked behind a reputation grind that only can be unlocked by playing hundreds of hours of the game 😂
its turreted.
Material Grind is probably the worst part of Elite. To be honest I feel like a lot of the game's other shortcomings (and there are many) would be forgiven for easier access to the content people want to actually play over mat grinding. That being said, it definitely has its moments. Combat is horribly balanced but it's still quite fun, and the music definitely adds to it if you have it turned on.
There is no grind, you can play the game w/o any engineering just like before ~2018. And if you want mats to fall from the sky, then what is the point? You want something, 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗶𝘁. At least mats bring some challenge and goals to reach, unlike money that is just waaaay too easy to earn and boring.
Always take mats as mission reward and you quickly drown in them, with just about right sum of money (side things like bounties, exo etc...). I find this approach to bring really good balance to the game.
I got your points thx for sharing. But so far I don't really find this game to be grindy at all. I am close to get my fleet carrier and all the engineering I've done so far are FSD tier-2. And after I found this material trader thing, it helps a lot. And just a lot of fun to earn the things you want, so glad it is not a play to win game like Star citizen
Some edvice with beam/puls /burst laser a simple 1 tier long range engineering upgrade , removes damage dropoff and you get as much damage at 3km as you would gat at 500 meters . Sturdy lasers will improve penetration of armour . making them more destructive to armour and internals . Focused lasers have a combination of sturdy and long range . Having longer ranges and Extreem penetration of armour hardness . But they still have damage drop off .
I am gonna look into that. thx!
@@Foxyloxy.X ITs quite a science to build the perfect weapons or remove weaknesses . Sites like coriolis , edsy and inara give you a lot of information. also the hardness of armour per ship . As it explains why it takes longer to take out a small ship with large weapons , as one would punch through its armour instead of stripping it .
I had Federaal gunships and Asault ships floating in space after shooting them up with Multicanons it ripped out their internals but their hulls had minumum damage .
Just scoop the materials up man...I don't even bother with the limpets as I like honing my skill of precision flying 😊🖖
Good call!
Wait until he finds out about engineers 😂☠️🥱
Now I am truly amazed about ED engineering
