I'd argue the best way is the way you have yo most fun, but im testing right now for the most Optimal way right now.

This is old. Doesn't represent bounty hunting it it's the current iteration of 3.23. The only ships I recommend for ERT's now are either the Constellation's or the Corsair

@@OneNutSupreme ok thank you, I will keep my eclipse

How do you like the hoplite? Does it make a decent dropship?

@@OneNutSupreme Overall, it's a solid and reliable ship. Great for heavy combat with its strong armour and weaponry. It always takes me a minute to adjust to its heaviness after flying more nimble ships, but it's worth it. I don't team up often, so I don't use the troop transport feature much. Still, it's nice to have the option for future.

Was asking myself the same question

Can't go wrong with a vanguard

I feel your pain. Picked up an ION after they added the light aim assist... then the rework hit it 😢

You can buy all the components at cousin crows on Orison

It's really not.

Yeah, i was about to write the same. But tbh the looks of this gatling-setup is just hilarious :D But i reaaaly dont want to restock after every mission

Honestly, considering the potential 80% damage reduction ballistics have to deal with, I'm not convinced they do more damage at all lol

They do, just when shields are down. I do have an idea to make this a little more optimal that I'm working on

I like swaping between the 2

@@OneNutSupreme Right. I think for larger, slower targets that won't be changing velocity a lot, lead works well. For smaller targets though, using lag allows me to watch the actual target rather than looking at my pip to aim. Helps watching their turns and what they might do next, especially in PVP.

I'm definitely curious about it myself

Certainly is a huge question right now, especially with what looks like a turret rail on the mirai heavy. If that's the case the vanguard will need to be brought up to snuff, and what I think still needs to happen is the warden's turret upgraded and beefed up. The warden should be the gun heavier variant with the harbinger being the missile heavier variant in my view. Given how mirai stuff handles too it's going to be a very nimble heavy to go against the other heavies so I think the vanguard should just be upped on guns EVEN MORE to make it the absolute heavyweight brute that it's supposed to be when compared to the more nimble heavies like the scorpius, hurricane, lightning and next for absolutely sure the mirai heavy.

The vanguard needs a big boost to its fire power overall, it's kind of ridiculous compared to the fire power of much smaller fighters, f8c, hornet mk2, buccaneer etc

@@Monk-Darlington Yeah, in my view with the vanguard that is SUPPOSED to be a heavyweight bruiser, the fixed nose guns all need buffs for higher performance, and the turret weaps should honestly jump up to size 4 on the warden, maybe even size 5 with the harbinger being able to fully customize it's missile loadout better including full torpedo swapouts if the player wants to make it more missile firepower with the buffs to the nose weaps too. This would make it what it should be, just the straight highest direct punch in the face firepower with brute toughness but less agility than the other heavy fighters that are far more agile and rely on that as their strength.

@@CatalystDestiny totally agree, it's definitely a victim of the power creep that's happened over time. Hell, fix the main gun so it cannot be gimbledand and up it to a size 6 mount, bump the nose guns to size 3 and change the turret to quads, it's a big slow ship, but being infront of it should be a death sentence.

I have no clue lol

I'll give your setup a try. I miss running missions in my warden :) I was also able to fit a pulse inside for ground missions, lol.

It's a logic numbering scheme. The first number is 0. And doesn't the warden come with two weapon groups by default?

They all do aside from the Sentinel because of the emp

@@OneNutSupreme Never flown one, but doesn't the Cutty Blue have one too?

I have, they are good. But I just have more fun running this

@OneNutSupreme I'll definitely be giving this a try. I do hope the vanguards get some love from CIG.

Ballistics feel great too me

This one scans.

Thank you for that one. Scanning is more complex now.

VHS? What does that even mean? You recorded them on VHS?

@@buzzfightbeer8023 Of course.

I actually rarely get jumped at brios

@@OneNutSupreme @VoidyVids

It's not a money maker video. It's about the ship. I just use it to make some cash / hence the title.

Honestly, if you pick yourself up a cutty black, you can pretty much try everything. ROC mining, combat, deliveries/cargo. I mainly bounty hunt, but that's not too profitable

@@OneNutSupreme Awesome, Thanks for the reply brother! Thanks for the the video as well!

Yeah I heard. Definitely a fat L from CIG on that one. They Definitely don't know how missles are supposed to work

I have a toggle to switch it between lead and lag

Yeah, I change all my stuff out of habit. And if I don't mention it people ask me what I'm running so yeah lol

We haven't had a wipe in over a year and a half. I wouldn't worry about the game wiping too much. I know one is coming with 4.0, but who knows when that's gonna be.

Yes! Lol
