Post Questions about PPS
Hey guys I've recently started doing PPS and I have some questions regarding the zone.

Are the roaming AI worth killing?

How do you move around without being swarmed by ships?

Which AI drain your energy and how do you avoid it?

Do the Kalthi in dungeons drop ship bps?

Roaming Kalthi Terminators and Destroyers may drop upgraded Kalthi gear BPs. This includes Kalthi ship BPs. Roaming Harrier can drop Harrier Talon (good weapon) and Harrier BP. Caracara can drop Caracara Talons (bad weapon). Cyborg Astronarch can drop useless t22 aura gens. All roamers worth killing are not really doable with a regular PPS DGing group so just ignore roamers altogether. If you want to roam and farm Kalthi BPs, I strongly suggest using ridicously overpowered group because with mediocre group it can be hard to fight against respawn timer of roaming spawners.

Annoyingly moving in PPS gals tends to be harder than actual DGs. I would suggest finding some easily accessable DG and just doing that over and over again. Combination of adv blockers, PWI/Sing Brake and OBAs can be useful for getting inside safety of first floor of DGs.

Can't remember :D

No. Just roaming Terminators and Destroyers.


EDIT: Good specialized zerker is the most important piece of a PPS group. Back when I still did content, I had zerker with KAW purely for PPS and BNF. Zerker prawn was used for all other content. Now I would even go as far as having different aug setup for PPS DG zerker and PPS roaming / BNF. >.<

Never bring slaves into pps, they will go 5m out and then you'll have to call a dev to get them back to sol. I reported this several months ago but they don't care

What about the Merchant Navy Commanders? And does DF influence the loot quality much?

Lol, I read this whole thread before realizing it was AcidFlame asking. MNC is a kinda cool ship (Sing Sphere+) but really expensive for what you get.

It's worth killing the roaming AI from time to time, but you've gotta be careful. Most of the worthwhile loot comes from PPS DGs.
