Hi, danke :) The F7A could be bought for a short time, after completing a certain chain of missions / event. Currently it is not available in game or in the pledge store. Many players keep their eyes open for another chance to buy... fingers crossed.

@@dj-firefly3901 danke für die Info! :)

Yeah, that was the old bug... seems we are limited to Rappel on Hurston to buy RMC again :(

Cool, how do you equip your Vanguard Warden? Ballistics? Laser Cannons?

@@dj-firefly3901 default weaps, all rattler missiles

Yess! Absolutely! NPC crews will be game changers. Man turrets, load cargo... if they really implement this in the future.

Bounty Extraction missions, where you need to capture and arrest a criminal... yeah, that's gonna be interesting for sure!

Yes, this is setting back to default constantly :(

Absolutely agree. However all bounties try to shoot me now depending on server performance, the bullet sponges sometimes hit and bite harder than I like them to, lol.

Cool! I had issues with torps not locking to the target or torps getting shot. Will try again :)

@@dj-firefly3901 switch torps to typhoons, they lock better and don’t get shot down

You had to own the mkII c then do a special event. It lasted like 2 months, it ended a month ago

Exactly what CopperRaven said. F7A is fantastic. But the F7C Hornet Mk2 or other medium fighters can do similar things.

Considering you just watched him do the bounties in the ships he likes makes you argument redundant lol

🤦‍♂️ comments like these make me wish parents would take their phones away from their children. He CLEARLY was completing the bounty’s. Him not fussing with the power triangle demonstrated more than if he had full power to weapons!!

@@jrcarr2012 right? That's what I was thinking as well lol

Correct, focus here is pure Bounty Hunting. When playing in a group we sometimes go Multicrew in a Corsair or Constellation and go for the loot. Nice Payout ideed !!

@@dj-firefly3901 Personally I think the ability to loot a small fortune from your targets makes fighters mostly redundant. Which is a shame, because I really want to love them. I wish CIG would nerf the loot and increase the mission payout to redress the balance.

Hello, I recently purchased the Taurus as a Mid-Tier upgrade for cargo hauling. I’m a very new player (30 hours playtime). Is there a recommended loadout for fighting my way up the tiers of difficulty for Bounty Hunting?

​@@2007donnie2008Hi and welcome to Star Citizen :) Check out my weapons loadout video. For the first Bounty missions the Galdereen Repeaters are perfect. While learning the basics you may even press G to activate target mode, which makes it easier to shoot smaller targets. When going against bigger targets, you should upgrade your weapons to Laser Cannons (M7A) or Ballistic Cannons (Deadbolt 5). But relax and give yourself time to learn. The Taurus can do many game loops! See you in the verse!

@@2007donnie2008 Can't go wrong with a full loadout of Deadbolt V ballistic cannons, or If you're concerned about running out ammo or just prefer laser, go with M7A laser cannons. Either loadout can handle all the way up to and including ERTs. I should warn you that the lower missions (VLRT, LRT and even some MRT) have smaller, fast moving targets, the connie being less maneuverable might make those missions a little more difficult, but still very do-able

Hi chowpal, thanks :) Yes, it is possible, but a bit harder than before. Generally the C1 has the required DPS and durability. However, I find that I get shot a lot more than before. So eventually, damage accumulates on the ship and you need to repair. I still love the C1 and use it often, but lets say, it is a generalist ship, not a bounty specialist. :)

@@dj-firefly3901 Thank you for your reply :D I'm a 3 weeks newbie and gathering aUEC for second ship. I want multi-role ship which I can use for ROC mining and bounty hunting. I made up my mind to go for C1 after watching your previous video. Now confirmed with your answer. thank you again~

Wow, nice catch :) Yeah, would be great if we could set up a personal beacon to come back later

Closest I’ve seen is taking a delivery mission and using the package itself for a beacon.

@@seancantwell3025 Thinking out of the box... cool idea :)

Crusader Hercules C2 - for me one of the best ships in the game :)

True.... that's a reason, why currently I am grinding VHRT targets most of the time. They are much easier than ERT and you can do them with either Ballistics or Laser cannons.

Dunboro at microtech is no longer available. At least I could not find the terminal any more. RMC on the other hand is still possible. Just go to Rappel on Hurston.

@@dj-firefly3901 cool thanks

Strange... did not encounter that issue before...

Hold f and right click the log out button, you will get the wheel where u can chose to exit bed

Lol... keep doing these videos, mate! Key is being great community here :)

Eclipse does not work very well for me currently. Shout out to @Cpt_Foxyloxy who did some videos recenty, how to improve your aim with torps. Need to test that out yet, but sounds promissing.

Hmmmm.... komisch, an den Screens habe ich nichts verändert. Ich schalte das Schiff ganz normal auf "Flight ready". Wenn der server mal laggt, drücke ich U (Power aus / Power ein) bis alles an ist. Sonst fällt mir nichts ein, was ich da noch eingestellt hätte...

Go to one of the monitors, switch to "menu" on the top-left corner. Go to the Weapons section, select Guns and switch all guns to 0 or 1. Note that there is currently a bug. Settings will fall back to default (left and right) constantly.

it is a slow and heavy ship. Landing is a pain in any location :) I just prefer Orison, because I do the Hammerhead salvage missions around yela. And the clouds are a nightmare at A18 sometimes.

Not sure yet. I just think up to MRT missions, the loadout is not the biggest issue. Basically your DPS is more than enough, with any loadout. Personally I am not a fan of mixed loadouts, I would go either full lasers or full ballistics. Going MRT max I would probably go Laser Cannons.

Same for me. Shout out to @cpt_foxyloxy who did some videos recently, how to improve your aim with torps. Will test that out! Looks good...

Lol...danke :)

I have heard this many times

Omg, sorry to hear... retested a couple of routes in the last few days and had no issues at all :(

Yes, Attrition 5 are my choice for Laser Repeaters too. To be honest, I have not tested them much, because I mostly need them for moving targets and prefer to do that with a more nimble ship. For bigger targets I prefer Laser Cannons for their Capacitor Efficiency and lower decay / higher DPS stability at range. Attrition 5 however are on my list for further testing on the C2 and Taurus.

@@dj-firefly3901 I plan on equipping attrition 5 on my 4 size 5 and 2 laser cannons on the turret for a friend and then going rattler 2 rockets hoping that setup works for ert

Hi, thanks :) It hs been reduced, certainly. Also I have not tested Prospecto mining, ROC mining etc. to see it what is the "best". But definitely, you can still make a good amount of aUEC with salvaging. I used my Reclaimer and Vulture to earn some starting money, without any upfront Investment required. Note that the Hammerhead missions are shared on the server and many people are looking for them. So currently the Vulture (while potentially lower earnings) may be the better niche.

I make a good cup of coffee in the meantime. If I am not mistaken it is 10 or 15 minutes. (Of course you need to account averages, so you could be seconds before the refresh, or seconds after the last refresh.)

Does your Eclipse work fine? I tried the usual 10km snipe torp. But at close range, the Hammerhead opens fire and destroys the torp. Last test was only successful at below 3km. What is your experience?

Unfortunately, it is not. It is still tough, but with the new mechanics, you will need most of the ballistic ammo to hit accurately, or rely on Energy Weapons instead. It is still a capable fighter, but I would do VHRT missions instead of ERT.

@@dj-firefly3901 hm ok sad do u have a other choice for a good Allrounder I should buy instead? Maby constellation Taurus or Corsair ?

​@@elpek2085things change a lot and 4.0 will change again. So I will not buy a ship any more, just because it is good now. I will buy the ships I like and that are cool. Both matches for the Taurus, it is also a good alrounder currently :) But I think about upgrading mine to an Andromeda, when the next worbond comes.

Bro did you even watch a single minute lmao

Yeah, same here. Had even boxes, that would not open or empty boxes. Have you tried the bounty missions where you shoot one target at a crash site? At least you can loot some armour pieces and guns there ... not the same, but an alternative to candy bars ...

@@dj-firefly3901 Nah...I keep dying from falling thru elevators, being GRABBED by trains and killed, my ship exploding for no reason...started with25k, now I have 2k...all due to MAJOR bugs...I am waiting things out for now... :(
