Best Combat, Exploration & Trade Ship BUILD guide - from Beginner to Expert [Elite dangerous]

[@TheWizard666]

One thing for trading - I tend to throw a heat sink launcher on, in case I decide to do some smuggling. If you start getting scanned on the way into a station, just blow a heat sink and they'll lose it. Far safer than silent running. Also, with exploration, you can save a ton of weight by dropping your power plant to the lowest possible. My Anaconda has an engineered 2A power plant and still has more than enough power to run my ship. One thing too is to use A rank power plants rather than D for the heat distribution. You'll thank me when you try and boost your FSD in a white dwarf cone.

so to be even remotely competitive in pvp you have to be fully engineered which requires you grind your life away doing the most brutally mundane boring things, most of which have nothing to do with the thing you're actually trying to achieve (combat; not farting around on planet surfaces or collecting space junk or scanning things).

[@rhysmoffitt6602]

Yes.

[@c0baltl1ghtn1ng]

I'm still generally against going 'Oops, all lazers!' It'll eat shields, but even in PVE going through Hulls with just lazers will take some time. While back you said Multi-cannons were the general best, and that hasn't exactly changed. With minimal engineering, you can get Incindiary Rounds for Multicannons which eats through shields just as well as lazers, and since they're still multi-cannons, will eat Hull, too. "But Ammo!" Non-issue, could act as a moderation marker, even; By the time you run out of ammo for your gattling guns you might as well take a short break anyway, get a snack, take a piss, etc. PVP is a completely different circle-jerk-fest that I'm not qualified to comment on.

[@DarthWall275]

You're also a brony, so you're not qualified for a lot of things

[@MattD529]

Addendum for exploration builds: A rated thrusters have a very small mass difference compared to D rated thrusters, but have much more power. Paired with a small shield, they're invaluable for high-g planetary landings. You may need to get a bigger powerplant for them, but the impact to jump range isn't that big.

[@Senzorei]

The myopic focus on exclusively jumprange is pretty funny, considering you get so much for just 3-5 Ly, which doesn't even matter unless you're in a hurry to get someplace or are doing galactic fringe exploration (which most people won't).

[@Furebel]

I once made a "berserker" build. Two heavy beams engineered to have as much thermal load as possible with the upgrade to increase damage with ship temperature. It was quite fun build, but highly dangerous.

[@planexshifter]

But not quite Elite Dangerous?

[@FerociousMoOoO]

Mining laser can also be useful to a explorer going out for a long trip. If you loose your SRV you can mine the mats from rings and asteroids and scoop them up if you need to synth a refill for anything you'll need except heat sinks as they need manufactured materials.

[@slickrick8279]

Easy 1 never fly without shield 2 for trade add cargo racks 3 for mining add like 10 pain in the arse modules and dont forget the limpets 4 for combat add *BRRRRRRRRRT*

[@TheWizard666]

I would argue that a pure exploration build can easily be done without a shield. Hell, it's almost required on smaller ships, where the extra weight can significantly hamper your jump range. In an Anaconda it's negligible, but in a Hauler it's not worth it. My rule is that if you're taking an SRV, take the shield, but if you don't plan on any planetary landings, a shield is just pointless dead weight.

[@Jmvars]

@@TheWizard666 My Anaconda is min-maxed for jump range so it has no shields. I'll still be doing planetary landings though.

[@TheWizard666]

@@Jmvars I've had a few mishaps with high gravity planets. I'd just rather not risk it out in the black. That said, shields are purely optional for an experienced pilot when you're out exploring.

Might be a bit late, but for general combat I bought a Krait mk II I use as a bit of a jack of all trades fitted with a class 3 beam laser (only got a tier one efficiency engineering mod on it because I happened to be near the guy), 2 class 3 gatlings and 2 class 2 railguns. Oh and a fighter bay with an F-63 fitted with fixed pulse lasers. I find it works pretty well overall, I also have a multipurpose limpet controller on it I use to refuel or repair friends. For pvp I can't really say much, but if min-maxing the slightest thing and engineering my leg hair is what is needed I guess I prefer sticking to normal combat and at the very most combat with a random player that happens to attack me or something, I generally prefer being peaceful with other commanders.

[@fusties]

Yamiks, you always deliver thank you bud.

[@TheBeardedFrogSage]

Alas, I have been a bad frog. I don't use all lasers for my PvE build. I have two racks of seeker missiles on my Krait and Cutter with beam lasers on all other hard points, and all dakka multicannons on my Chieftain. Then a mix of pulse lasers and multicannons on my FDL. I don't know if this is extremely wrong or mostly right, but it works and I get my bounties and cargo delivered without trouble. Ever since I found out I can fabricate reloads out of engineering mats, I haven't run out of ammo.

I found out a niche game-build mode for ships many of you will cry in fear and crumble in front of my insanity and monstruosity: DROPSHIP BUILDS! If you manage to make another living being tolerate your presence in the galaxy and go with him on surface combat in Odyssey, this type of ship will actually be fun and can be designed for multicrew builds as well - as long as your PC won't get raped by fps drop rates and connexion lag during the combat session. First, strap onto it an SRV hangar filled with Scorpions, then proceed to add a potent shield and some weapons capable for ground killing with ease like Missile Racks or Advanced Missile Racks (no need for super accuracy when big booms will make puny people below to fly into space, usually 2 will be good enough), add a fixed/gimballed gun on the largest hardpoint (laser or multicannon) and, if more hardpoints are available, go for extra guns or even turrets to allow at least one person with you to go in gunner mode and shoot at people on the ground (although I recommend this only if someone agrees with your insanity and will join you on ground pounding). The extra optional modules should be focused only for shield and hull upgrades, a nice thruster is recommended for primary modules since the D-rated ones will have a harder time fighting the gravity of any planet. I started with my Federal Dropship since - well, it's in it's name and I loved the idea to make it a TRUE DROPSHIP - but to make a succesful one you really need some decent hardpoint count, more than decent survivability in combat and enough optionals to make room for SRV hangar and a good enough shield to survive enemies shooting back at you, like base defense turrets, other SRVs or even on-foot players/NPCs. Multi-crew options are really nice if you like to bring someone with you and this build will make sure to allow you to efficiently attack bases on the ground and in the air.

I think for the purposes of practice, or just preference, using various weapon types instead of just lasers against NPCs is better. As you might want to get the timing down on rail guns and the shot leading on plasma accelerators before you go ahead and try them in pvp against other CMDR pilots. I think in this case lasers aren’t the best to use against NPCs as you’re better of training the weapons that are more effective overall and in pvp for those pvp situations and the kind of flying that you have to do to make them optimal.

If you're going in a exploration ship, always bring two AFMU units so they can repair each other, especially if you do neutron star jumps. Anaconda should have space for repair limpets for the hull, SRV bay for collecting synthesis materials, dual AFMU for repairing the modules damaged by neutron star jumps, huge fuel scoop, small shield, the scanner, and a small cargo rack. You don't get the best jump range but you can explore for an infinite duration without visiting a starport, fleet carrier, or traveling in your own fleet carrier. Also I bring a small mining laser in case I get in a real pinch and need to mine some asteroids for synthesis materials. It's slow and painfully annoying but it has saved me on long trips before.

[@QuiteSpiffing]

An exploration anaconda done right requires a fair amount of power management. A2 power plant overcharged is much better than the D rated power plant in both mass and output. My anaconda is fitted with a lightweight low-power shield generator, limpet controllers for fuel and repair operations, either best or second best fuel scoop, guardian FSD booster and two AFMUs, all running on a 2A overcharged power plant setup in such a way that module repair operations can only be done when I disable FSD and its booster, thrusters and shields, and my jump range is a nice 74-odd LY. Also, what is this about PvE builds only needing lasers? Ideally you want to combine energy/heat weapons with kinetic weaponry. My PvE Fer De Lance has 4 gimballed high fire rate phasing sequence pulses combined with its size 4 Autocannon. It eats through hull and shields, relying solely on lasers is going to make you run hot and not do a lot of damage in the long term.

[@TheYamiks]

Yeah powerplant depends on what you put in it, even when disabled D rated is not great, so A rated is better!

You can do laser only builds, but they do require you to module subtarget and/or range manage well, which most people won't do either of, so you're not wrong.

For PvE combat: Turreted Pulse Lasers on a ship with a SLF are absolutely viable. Engineer for Long Range and set to Fire At Will and let your mothership do half the work for you. A Krait Mk II works great for this with all 3 top guns as Turreted Pulse Lasers. I recommend Plasma Slug Railguns or else Thermal Vent Gimballed Beam Lasers for the size 2 slots. The Plasma Slug Rails will give you something to do while waiting for your SLF to rebuild when destroyed, and can be great for component kills. The Thermal Vent Beams are for cooling the ship down primarily. You don't want to use turrets for these because when the AI pops chaff your Thermal Vents will backfire and start rapidly overheating the ship. For exploration: First, understand the difference between a personal taxi and an exploration ship. Building a personal taxi is braindead simple - D rate everything except your fuel scoop and your FSD. For actual exploration, you want a 1D Repair Limpet Controller, a 2E Cargo Bay, and one or two 3B AFMUs. Second, you want either a 4G or a 6G SRV bay. Unlike SLFs you don't get multiple rebuilds with SRVs so every time you lose one you're one mistake closer to being forced to fly back to port. The larger the SRV bay, the more mulligans you get, the more stupid fun things you can try. Third, you want more than 38ly of jump range, but less than 45ly of jump range. Any more than 45ly and you're likely to skip right past everything worth seeing, but any less than 38ly and you'll need FSD injections too often. And last, you want to find a ship with a good ratio between FSD size and Fuel Scoop size. This will ensure you spend as little time scooping as possible. One of the best in the game is the Dolphin, which has a size 4 FSD but can mount a size 5 scoop (as well as ample room for everything else listed here.) By contrast, the DBX has a size 5 FSD but only a size 4 scoop, meaning you will have to spend a disproportionately long time scooping in the DBX. Time spent scooping is time not spend canning or looking for fun places to visit, so you want to shorten this as much as possible. For cargo: Don't run cargo. It's the most boring thing in the game. Run data courier missions until you can afford an exploration ship (a Hauler is more than capable to start), then sell exploration data until you can afford a combat ship (A Vulture is not that expensive and can wreck Anacondas two at a time.) Then make your real money doing combat. Cargo is absolutely skippable and I highly advise that you do so. And mining is just cargo with lasers and explosions, which is to say it's living proof that even lasers and explosions can't make something boring suddenly be exciting. It CAN be relaxing to mine, but I recommend exploration for that instead.

(Like this comment). Its effective bringing in 5 to 8mil before even running out of ammo but I just need a change and haven't found a build im happy with and keep going right back to my Fergie. Thinking of trying a super cold running vulture that is hard to target or something like that. Anyway CMD's I'd appreciate some input on some new builds to try. Thanks

I like Federal ships. Although, I’ll be first to admit my combat piloting skills are kind of shit-

Too much bull in your videos... I get tired listening to your tutorials. Almost all substance could be shorted to a 3rd of the video. But I like listening to you because you sound like an angry Valtteri Bottas being asked to give your position to Hamilton! Still want more substance in a slower pace, that would be more popular I think. Just in a constructive way, not trying to bash.

The problem with being sarcastic 70% of the time is that it makes how to videos terrible.
