OK, I can do that. I have both of those ships. Would either make a better choice?
If it works for you I could do this Wednesday, Thursday or Friday night.

OK, Thursday it is thanks. If that changes let me know. Apologies for not noticing your message last night in the game. I joined Neph's PG, and thanks Neph for that.
I will brush up on what's required so I am not a complete liability.
Does the ship need armament aside from the PD? Is more than one PD better? I will bring Mad Hops (DBX) on your recommendation. I know you're left coast so will need to work out a time. Not sure how long this will take, but I can play up until midnight my time (9 Cali time)

Actually if we can make it 6:30 that would be better as I have to feed all of the creatures that dwell within my abode.
What system/station will you be setting sail from?

Preparations have begun. Last night I installed the point defense in the DBX. Actually put two on. Any advantage to that or would one be plenty? I see they carry 10,000 rounds.
I also installed a hangar and SRV, then took it for a test landing and resource gathering to be sure all is well. It went off without a hitch. I have plenty of resources on board to synthesize ammo and fuel.
The thing that I am concerned with is that my DBX is not outfitted to take damage. Shields and integrity are rather weak. Is the ship likely to take damage? I have a couple of days to reequip it if it's needed.

Excellent, thanks. I'm D-rated, low emissions, thermal spread sort of build. It runs really cool and jumps well, but that's at the cost of it's protection.
I'll watch a video today to see what goes down. Curious how the site is located on the surface. Navigation, or will there be a marker?

Jersey boys Lots of folks say to take two SRVs. Is that because they didn't have point defense? I'll get the rest of the stuff today. I have the focus crystals already and will get the shock mounts. This can wait until after, but I like to be prepared I watched a short video. I'll watch a few more as this one was condensed. What I wonder is how the hell would a player know how to do this given the info the game provides? If it weren't for the internet I not only would have never worked this out (I haven't done it yet so maybe shouldn't jinx myself), and I might not even realize Guardian tech was a thing in the first place. Sooner or later I would have visited a tech broker I suppose, but still, this stuff is in the dark. Will I need cargo space during the mission? If so, regular racks? I saw in the video that the site shows up as a POI. Does the planet need to be scanned to reveal it? I've been out 8 months and I need to brush up on any thing that is needed to be done. So stuff you consider routine may not be for me, and I don't want to drag everyone out there to find I am not prepared. So feel free to mention anything that might seem trivial but is necessary to complete this.

POI shows up on planet when within a certain distance, scan the Nav beacon or honk first tho. I’m pretty sure Wingy had me bring along a cargo rack, regular is fine. I only had 1 SRV, you will prolly need to refuel/rearm it.

Thanks Bohemond. I'm limited on open optionals, as I'm sure you were too in the same ship. Class 2 racks enough? Class 3? How many tons will I need to carry?
The whole scanning thing has changed a lot since I last played. I have set my stick to switch HUD modes (but very little other remapping of new features and mechanics), and I suppose I will need a scanner? Which one now?
