Well now i hate you too[emoji13]. Good buy you guys got if your doing bounty hunting or missions that require bounty hunting. That ship is so quick and maneuverable compared to our vultures it just pisses me off.

In pure combat a vulture still beats the DBX, though. The DBX is simply a better all-rounder(trading, smuggling, exploring etc), while the Vulture is the better combat ship. The Vulture is tankier and packs more heat (2 Large HP beats 1L and 2M).

Where the DBX is very good at is doing long range jumps, hitting its targets and then bugging out.

Don't agree on that TBH.
Being as that I own one and have had many battles against the DBX. The DBX still wins hands down with the multi cannon.
Vulture has only 2 large hardpoints and 4 Utility points, where as DBX has 1X large hard point and 2 X Medium hard points and 4 Utility points.
I have on numerous occasions been in battles with a DBX and ended loosing thruster's or power plants due to the pure fact that a DBX can maneuver better than the Vulture. Even with 3x shield boosters the vulture is a sitting duck.
 
I don't agree at all. For what is essentially a flying tank, the Vulture is a very maneuverable ship. Unless you're trying to fit hull plates, which you shouldn't as they just weigh you down and your shields do all the tanking anyway. You might get hit more, but your high capacity shields means it doesn't matter.

In 1v1, a properly fitted Vulture will always beat a properly fitted DBX. The DBX just can't stay in the fight as long as the Vulture can. With the Vulture you can confidently take on Pythons and sometimes even Anacondas. I wouldn't get close to those in a DBX.

If you feel like a sitting duck in a Vulture then either you're weighing it down too much or you're not maneuvering properly.
 
Man, there was a mission that would allow me to go directly to Knight Rank and I didn't take it. I can kick myself now. :<
 
The Diamondback is a MACHINE

fitted mine now with 3 beam lasers (not even the BIG ones yet) for bounty hunting and it pretty much makes any ship it's bitch now
 
So, over the weekend I got stuck into Elite again, and my previous rage-y comments I will retract completely. Made some good credits from bounty hunting, and I love my Viper MKIII. I'm at a point that I can upgrade and buy a Cobra, but it doesn't seem all that worth while right now. I'm planning on hopping from system to system, doing bounty hunting runs and making money until I can afford either the MKIV Viper or something else.

Beo said there's two kinds of way that you can play. One with people and one without. Which one are you playing?

Currently on my own, as I am a sad panda without anyone to play with. Well, Beo is there though.

I just thought of starting out in Solo mode to get a feeling for the game and to get a decent start. I'm not in the mood for some OP person coming and targeting a noob like me and hampering me from enjoying the game. The game itself did a good job at making me frustrated before I figured out how to start.

That sounds like a good idea.

Oh man, I'm so keen on playing this now after reading this thread and then Beo buying the game for me unintentionally. :) But then I have to finish GTA first.

One thing about GTA is it has that never ending persona about it, you can always pick it up and have fun. But yes, finish the story at the very least.

Personally I am getting lost in Elite at the moment. Loving this game again. I haven't turned on my PS4 in like 2weeks. Also getting keen to starting afresh on the XBone.
