Unless I'm missing something, H.O.T.A.S. is an acronym- Hands On Throttle And Stick - any products there with separate stick and throttle units are HOTAS.
1. Bulkheads depend on what you want to do with your ship. If you see yourself sticking with the viper for a while then I say upgrade them, but if you plan on jumping ships (heh) then I'd leave them alone. Lightweight does well enough.
2. I stay with the 5km sensors due to the weight difference. Most ships won't be able to hit you with anything outside of that range anyway.
3. Fuel scoop you can keep where it is, especially since you are in a viper. The better scoops are mostly for the bigger ships since they have more fuel. What you have now will get you by while in the viper.
4. There are a couple of things that change with the different shield banks. Mostly weight, power consumption and number of charges you can use before you have to refill. You can check this by going into your moduls tab, I'm not sure if it tells you in the actual outfitting menu or not.
5. You only really need to upgrade your generator when you have a decent change in mass. The better the generator, the more mass it can protect. This is the reason why you see a lot of the bigger cargo ships without shields. They would have to buy an expensive generator to cover the mass that they want to carry.
Hope this helps.
Suit up gentlemen/woman. WAR IS ON.
Dat High Intensity zone around Hand Ring.
I can't wait to blast those fuckers a new one.
So..what keywords do I use? joystick?

Junior, please.
Bloody hell guys, nice job starting a war.
Say I want to jump in and help out in my Cobra, what's a good weapon setup these days? I've been rocking 4 gimballed auto-cannons but I'm not sure if there's something that could be more effective...

Congrats if you do
The Thrustmaster Hotas X? Or in general (HOTAS is Stick AND separate throttle)
http://www.pcstore.com.tw/esunfon/M07493575.htm The Thrustmaster HOTAS X has a hybrid solution where you can attach the throttle and stick together, that's why it hard to separate them on pictures.

Went to one of those conflict zones and destroy a few ships. I had full shields when another ship bumped into me totally destroying my falcon. Didn't even see the guy, he came from above/behind.

Your....falcon?
But yeah,be careful in conflict zones, there is a LOT more traffic than you might be used to
So I travel 106 ly to HO HSI and immediately drop into a conflict zone. I kill some enemies and then this cunt cobra rams into me, killing me and sending me 106 ly back to where I came from.
My god those guys are suicidal.

Thanks! Do most of the HOTAS have the same amount of buttons?
Yeah, I got excited.
I'm back already though. And I found some Pavonis Ear Grubs in an USS.
Those high intensity conflict zones are crazy! Killed a few Ho Hsi vipers in my Adder!
Remember to check for conflict zone missions from Jet Comms, to choose your faction in the function menu and to turn in those combat vouchers!
Already done all 3!
Is it a better place for bounty hunting than at Nav Beacons in anarchy systems?Went to one of those conflict zones and destroy a few ships. I had full shields when another ship bumped into me totally destroying my falcon. Didn't even see the guy, he came from above/behind.
Finally all those personal weapons runs and random missions and what not paid off. Wondering what part of our efforts made this possible though? Was it the double dealing on Ho Hsi Corp, or just all the missions, or killing Ho Hsi ships. Wish there was some way to tell or something.
Either way excited to come join the war effort later tonite. Good job guys!

Fuck, great job guys. Hope the civil war is still going on a week from now.
There's no bounty hunting in conflict zones. You pick a side and then for every ship you destroy on the opposing side you get a combat voucher to turn in. I think they are usually worth 3 grand, not sure if bigger ships are worth more or not.
It was all of us. Together.
It was our traders, our bounty hunters, our pirates and backstabbers.
It was you and me and everyone here.
It was GAF.
BELIEVE
Thanks for the answer! Really appreciate it
Here is my ship config btw:
1) I'm gonna stick with it till Frontier releases a new combat focused ship. I just want a bigger Viper. I realized that my shields never are really down because of my shield cell banks. So I wouldn't profit of the new bulkhead. Will keep the lightweight alloys for better manoeuvrability.
2) My gimballed MCannons would profit from better sensors. But I think the higher mass & power consumption isn't worth it:
Will also stick with the 5km sensors.
3) Ok, will keep it that way.
4) It's not really telling anything:
There is almost no information. Is there any additional info on the web?
5) So there is basically no improvement?
Should I just keep this shield generator?
Bigger ships are not (yet) worth more!
Yeah with those stats I don't see why you wouldn't keep the shield generator as it is. Unless someone else can correct me if I'm wrong. For the shield banks, you might have to just buy different ones and then check your ship details to see how many charges each one has. You can always just sell them back or swap them out so it's not like you will be losing anything.
It was more likely Reddit due to their much larger player base, but yay anyways!
Shhhhh don't ruin this.
build material, buttons, abilities and brand.
Man, finally. I'd done so many missions for Jet Comms. Glad it switched!! I was really wondering if it was bugged. So cool
Just one last, hard and bloody push and we got this!
Mwahaha! This will be fun. Long-term, Aeternitas could still come into play, but as a wealthy powerful system for Jet Comms to expand into after it hits 100%.
Yeah, it wasn't that big on reddit - GAF-driven but they did help out.
I bet that maintenance last night fixed whatever was getting "stuck".
I think it was also a big factor that we KEPT IT critical so long.
Like, it was brewing,we just needed to keep it on the stove till it boiled over
Have you seen that there is a faction in a system close by called "Jet Federal Limited" which is close to expansion?
Jet family is big.
How do I actually gain influence with jet comms? I'm killing Ho Hsi scum but it doesn't appear to do anything. Can't really take missions either because they don't trust me enough
Do the smaller missions for Jet comms until you get to at least friendly status. They are usually the light cargo runs that are only worth a couple thousand credits. Remember that there are three stations you can choose from in Ho Hsi.

Do missions you can take. go to conflict zones, choose Jet Comms as your faction in the function tab and kill Ho hsi,then turn those vouchers in at Jet Comms.
Trade commodities to Jet Comm stations, turn in Federation bounties at those stations.
Yeah, there's also "The Jet Crew"
haha, those fuckers give us a bad name though. I eradicate them wherever I see em.
kk thx, guess I'll keep shooting in the conflict zone. Only have an eagle with only 2 cargo slots :|
