Pirate Hunting, but Without Dying
17 Aug 2022Final Asgard
Today was a much better day of pirate hunting. I found lots of pirates, and destroyed most of them. We even got adventurous enough to try out High risk Resource sites. I discovered a few key pieces of information. If a ship shows that it is part of a team, and they are not being actively engaged by security... DO NOT attack them... Just let them go about their business.Also trying to attack someone and draw them to the security ships doesn't work well either. I am getting better at turning off Flight Assist during combat, just to flip the ship around a little quicker. Sometimes it's faster, and sometimes it doesn't seem like it is, but it's another skill for the toolbox.
There was one mishap where in the middle of battle somehow I changed target to one of the security ships as I was shooting... yeah, I got a bounty on my head. We skipped town and turned ourselves in. That isn't something you want hanging over your head for too long.
Overall I made 7.1 million credits tonight. Not bad, but nothing great either. It was a fun night. And the live stream across the galaxy went well! The stream was raided by another group that bumped me up to 12 total viewers! It was a lot of fun.
Well, no pictures tonight. Next time I think I will continue mining to get the money for an Anaconda, and we're still preparing for a trip out to Bernard's Loop next week. There is a lot to look forward to!
