Mining Multicrew T-10 vs. Pirate CMDR Anaconda

Was out mining for the Rind CG, and encountered a CMDR in an Anaconda. Will my mining T10 be able to defend itself?
Certainly had my hands a-shakin'; this was my first-ever PvP encounter using this beast!

No doubt. Almost feels like the ship might be more of a mercenaries dream than a mining vessel. What better way to hustle a pirate than an over sized mining ship?

[@lsswappedcessna]

@@rallywagon261 As much as the T10 is a meme, it's great fun when used appropriately. For example, slap a bunch of turrets on it, have a small cargo rack with some basic valuables, install good shields and point defense, and just sit in haz res and watch the pirates blow themselves up by battering themselves against your sheer chonk until your turrets lock onto them with malicious intent. iirc it can carry SLFs, so equip a fighter bay and have some fun while your ship wrecks shit. The T10 is so good at taking hits and dealing damage if you fill its optional internals with hull and module reinforcements that it can be used to AFK your way to billions of credits (and elite combat rank) in a few hours of being tabbed out while watching youtube, or mowing the lawn, or doing anything else, and it only gets better at being an immovable object with a bunch of guns strapped to it with engineering.

[@kaizaki9148]

Best fight I've seen in a long time

[@Frenotx]

Thanks. I wish Frontier would put some effort into balancing to make fights like this more common. One of the big reasons this was an interesting as it was is because both Shippy and I had many of our internals filled with things other than defensive modules. If we had both fully stacked all our internal slots with defensive modules, this fight would have dragged on for ages, and ultimately been pointless (since all our ships would be able to do is fight, as all our internals would be combat stuff). Until frontier does something to address the stupidity of regular internal modules being able to be used for raw health increases (either through SCBs, reinforcement modules, etc.), interesting fights like this will only every be able to happen between people with objectively (from a combat perspective) sub-optimal builds. This is one of the big reasons I lost interest in the game quite a while ago. Cool game with a lot of cool stuff in it, most of which is undermined by catastrophically bad (yet fairly easily fixed) balance and design decisions.

An amazing fight Frenotx! The Type-10 may be slow and have low manoeuvrability, but the high shield capacity and sheer amount of hard point slots make it a mobile weapons platform and a beast of firepower, excellent job. Would have been even funnier if you took out his power plant and set him adrift and left a unit of Platinum as a Calling card but nonetheless awesome to see! Also: that was one determined and well prepped Pirate. Cudos to his dedication and hard prep work but he should have checked your modules to see if he could take you or not, an easy mistake that made all the difference.
