In the Viper, that's 25 minutes of air, more than enough to run to a RES, blow through all my ammo killing criminals, and run back to the station. | |

| Dec 17, 2014 at 13:28 | comment | added | Flyto | My approach to priorities is: 1. Life support (debatable); 2. Defensive stuff: Thrusters, shields, maybe sensors; 3. Weapons; 4. FSD. It's totally viable to run with a moderate power deficit, because the FSD requires quite a lot of power even when not being used - it's hard to see the downside of having the FSD powered off when hardpoints are deployed, since you can't activate it anyway. (problem for discovery scanners & interdictors, perhaps?) | |
