Yes will definitely have to finish the story first. Will quickly log into Elite tonight to see if it works. I look forward to reading more about all of your Elite stories and events here.

Cool. I still have a 14day Gold code needing to be redeemed iirc.
So keen to get started on Xbone as well, but I've been getting together odds and ends and preparing for a personal expedition within the galaxy, and being on the brink of setting out makes me keep playing on PC.
Btw, If anyone is looking for a good PvE group to join then check out Mobius.
So, knowledgeable people of the Elite world, let's talk weapons. Currently I'm rocking sets of multi-cannons and pulse lazers on my ship, all gimballed. I find gimbal weapons easier as I just need to keep the target in my sights and pull the trigger. But, my travels have revealed that finding upgraded weapons for these types of weapons are either very difficult to find, or do not exist. I'm thinking of maybe swapping out my multi-cannons for normal cannons, as I see they have a higher DPS.
What you guys suggest?
Have a look the Razor fit. It's quite effective for a 500k refit.
Here's my current ship's loadout, all aimed at specifically exploring with a jumprange of around 27LY average. As I'm trying to keep it close to fellow commanders whom I am exploring with. One thing to note is that I do have a planetary landing module and 3 x SRVs in a module as well. Coriolis does not support that yet it seems.

And here's how I usually load up a vulture: http://coriolis.io/outfit/vulture/04...nius%20Vulture
Well, what ship are you running? Your power efficiency plays a big role in this. If you're only using it for combat, don't fit the best sensors or life support systems. They're a waste. Chances are if you're in a situation where your cockpit is at risk, you should have bugged out long before anyway.
Gimballed lasers are always a great idea. Especially if your ship is power efficient. I normally fit beam lasers but on a smaller ship these will likely kill your power draw. On my Vulture I have one Beam laser and one Cannon. The single BL uses very little power which means I dish out a continuous stream of damage. I only use the cannon to do insane damage to big ships at close range, switching back to the BL while I wait for it to reload. Lots of people swear by Multi-cannons, but I prefer my standard Cannon.
If you're flying a Viper you might fit one Flak and one Multi-cannon. The Flak is basically the shotgun of space combat and does great damage if you can get close to the enemy.
And here's when I had a Cobra mk4 for all of 2 hours I think...
