Elite Dangerous on Lemmy

At the moment, using lemmy feels a bit like docking at one of those outposts somewhere between Colonia and the bubble. There's not much here yet, but you know its going to grow.

Hi,

I recently built myself a Type 10 to sit in a low RES and hunt bounties without me. The current build was already destroyed twice, one time I respawned on the closest station and one time I spawned in a detention facility.

Not entirely sure what happened either time, but whenever I was watching it, it seemed to do just fine with 4 pips to shields.

One thing I should probably mention is that I bring collector limpets to scoop up the manufactured mats and I have it set up so that one is launched every 5 minutes or so. That of course leads to stolen cargo and stolen cargo in combination with enemy hatchbreakers leads to fines for jettisoning stolen cargo. I'm not entirely sure, but I think one of my deaths can be explained by the fact that fines eventually turn into bounties. Is there a way to place my point defenses so that they properly protect against hatchbreakers or another way be safe? Or do I need to stop using limpets when I'm not there and go back to dav's hope for manufactured mats?
