Good stuff Mozo. If you need magnesium and don't mind a little piracy, sometimes the mining class trade ships have some ore in their cargo hold, if you can dock a ship to them and set your connector to collect, some of it may 'accidentally' end up in your cargo hold. Anyways, convenient to see one of those RS1217's, I currently have one sitting 30km off my starboard bow, so got the inside knowledge. Season greeting and all that malarky 🎄🎄🎄
You are a very brave soul, Mozo! While about 7 km away from you, you tore a HUGE hole in the rear of your ship, and you weren't moving. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH!!!! Question: is the nose of your "dumb missile" (rocket?) made of heavy armor, I hope? I have a suggestion: park your ship with a GPS marker and take out the little yellow ship to scout around for maydays. If you do commit, send the ship out for some reconnaissance, perhaps just 10km radius from your mothership. you may just find some good stuff out there with magnesium. We wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. May all of your dreams come true, and may God bless you both abundantly.
Hehe, Mozo Daredevil 😉 Yes the missile has a heavy armor nose and you're right maybe it should be called a *rocket* ? I agree a 10km sweep might reveal more potential but Reavers can spawn and move quickly, i'd be fearful that i could not get back to my ship in time ! Thank you for the good wishes, i hope you all have a wonderful time this Xmas season and beyond too 😃
I'm just hoping you find the magnesium you need, I want to see how effective those missiles are. I may need to make a missile or two to take out a planet based SPRT based in my game. Merry Christmas and happy new year!
With the restrictions of this scenario, you might actually get back home before you get more than just a couple little scraps of Magnesium. I'm putting in an advance request for you to port the ship into the next series somehow, and outfit her proper. With the ability to acquire resources as needed, I'd love to see all your defenses working in concert to take out an enemy ship. Pistons pushing out a Dumb Drill Torpedo (DDT) can't offset your forward speed, but simply turn it into the equivalent of the slow car in the fast lane (especially when you're moving 80+ m/s). One idea that "on paper" seems like it might work, and that is to have a small H2 tank, a thruster, a gyro, and an AI block that sets the torpedo in motion towards the enemy. Once it gets up to speed, it then disconnects (I'm thinking unlocking a mag plate rather than merge block) to let the "invisible payload" continue on to the target. A bit more costly to build, but if you're not starving for key resources, it sure seems like it could be more effective. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you & your loved ones.
Thanks Chad, *"slow car in the fast lane"* a wonderful description 😃 I'm actually not sure what i'll be doing in the next series yet, i have a few ideas though ! Given that i'll be flying in a straight line with the enemy right behind me i figure there's no need for complicated setups, the missile has the thruster on full override **if** i can find a little Mg i'm hopeful if it hits it will do good damage ? Thanks for the seasons wishes, i hope you and yours have a wonderful time too.

*accidentally* lol, i'm no thief 😏
Happy season to you also, enjoy your summer 😭

Well i tested it in creative and it worked well on a static target, we'll see 😃
Happy Xmas/new year to you as well 👍
