    That's it. It is time to start implementing the carpet tax.

    Using Joystick with Gimbal Weapons

    One of the big problems is it works a little too well. :)

    Using Joystick with Gimbal Weapons

    Before the release of 3.7 one of the videos stated that gimbal assist was not working as intended and would be changed in 3.8. Expect a nerf.

    Ship for dangerous traderoutes

    Since they are cargo pods, or fuel pods I don't see why a mix wouldn't be allowed. I seriously considered a Starfarer Gemini until the second time I went aboard. I figured the first time I just didn't know what I was doing, then I realized that whoever designed the interior was just an idiot. :)

    Ship for dangerous traderoutes

    The Gemini or M2 are likely your best choices, as you envision it. You appear to be missing something though. As you have shown a single fighter, or even a couple of fighters should be no more than a nuisance. A squadron of Vanguards, with a mix of Wardens Harbingers a single Sentinel and a...

    Ship for dangerous traderoutes

    Based on the size of the modules those numbers should be closer to the 100 CF to 130 CF range combined. Between the Andromeda and the Taurus. The scary thing about the Retaliator, for people with bad intentions, is what modules are aboard? It's carrying cargo, I can risk the turrets. What...

    The Starfarer is also supposed to be capable of replacing the tanks with cargo modules.

    Distance is its own reward

    Two more tips I have found helpful. If you are interdicted as soon as you hit normal space, hit F2, set your route and hit F1. This facilitates running away. If you are interdicted at less than, about, a million km from Arc Corp or Hurston, it will not let you resume your trip unless you jump...

    If its red its dead

    Those Size 9 torps are really OP for the typical target in the current PU. They don't have, quite, enough boom for their final intended target. When you care enough to send the very best, say it with Argos.

    Distance is its own reward

    There is a reason the Vanguard line is my go to ship. Less quantum travel time, less fueling and less issues with pirates. In fact it is why I am considering two of them. :) My Retaliator is for flying with friends and my Avenger is for the local stuff either at start or once I get there. :)...

    I have, though it has been a while. And the visibility from the wheelhouse is exactly what the Freelancer and Starfarer remind me of.

    My Retaliator has always been PT-73. I just need to be able to change the number on the hull. :)

    Damn it! I may have come up with the answer to my Vanguard Sentinel + Warden BUK issue. The modularity is supposed to go across all 4 Vanguards now. It also covers what to do with my Gladius. Gladius to Hoplite. Stealthy Vanguard, Fighter Vanguard, mix and match.

    Retaliator and, hopefully, Warden for me. The question is what to do with my Gladius. ;)

    I can't get over the C-47 held together with 100 MPH tape vibe I get off the Cutlass and Caterpillar.

    Also sounds profitable. However if you have someplace to be, stopping might not be in your best interest.

    It is a WWII Battleship wheel house, with less visibility. :)
