"I knew I'd find you! All that tasty cargo!"

Well, no sir, I have no cargo in my hold right now. But by all means, if you want to go this way I'll happily collect that bounty on your head.

It's even better when the cargo in question is Biowaste.

hahaha, lick it if you want, buuuuuuut...
or "radioactive" waste, since that would be even better to drop on them without shielded cargo racks.

I ran into one yesterday that was in a Sidey and they were like "oh, that's an Anaconda -- nevermind". It was nice to see a little intelligence on the NPC's part.

If he wants tasty cargo why can't he interdict that idiot that hasn't written his wedding vows - that way he would be leaving me alone AND if he got rid that idiot and stopped him banging on about his vows I would gladly GIVE the pirate my tasty cargo

I play elite along side my hubby who plays BF4. My old headphones cut me off from him causing me to feel bad. Just got a pair of aftershock bone conductive headphones. Its amazing. I can chat to him and hear My game clearly, yet he hears nothing from my headphones. I recomend these to anyone wanting to be able to hear the game as if its inside your head and still be able to hear others around you.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've been looking for something that I can use at night so as to not disturb the wife when on the ipad late at night, without getting tangled up in a cord. What sort of battery life are you getting, really? The advertising claims 7 hours, but that's advertising. How long do they take to fully recharge? How is the audio quality for detail, i.e. music at relatively low volume, or the sort of audio that you get on the system map? How would you say they would be for music or audiobooks while cycling?

I wonder just how many hits from a rail gun it would really take, to make them flee from the first shot.  They do run if they know it's getting hopeless for them to win.  
But I do wonder, if it got hit with 4 shots in one volley, would it stick around? Would it even still be in one piece to stick around?  Would all of it's guts spill out across space through the new holes you just made?  
Since they are facing you to scan you, would there even be a chair left for the pilot to sit in?

Also, I know why there are no 3A railguns, because they would be 3AA.... 1d, 2b, 3aa. hahaha!!

They occasionally run when it's hopeless. Usually they are at 2% hull and still saying "This can all end if you drop # tons of cargo."

In my experience from when I used to fly an all railgun asp, almost every small ship would be destroyed instantly by a single volley from all four guns.

Yea, you are right, most of them even when we know it's hopeless, they still think they are going to get your cargo. haha~

That's good to know Leytra, and something I shall be using for myself in the nearish future.

Oh, here's a question of interest, that I have been wondering about for a while and just not taken the time to test it yet.

You know all those "pod doors" with the equipment level and grade (1a, 2b, 3b, 4a...) marked on them by your landing pad. Does that represent the [types] of module's you can expect to find at that station?

I signed-up the other day. I figure I'll get some practice in before January, take a trip out somewhere.

Might even have time to get through Red Dead Redemption 2 by then.

Never been, signed up, I got an Asp-X for this sort of thing, it'll be nice to have a big ole mess of people to do something like this with.
Main reason why I haven't really yet, is because I don't really want to go out there alone as I don't think I'd have much fun without someone to talk to. I wouldn't want to go insane out there, then I'd prolly never get back, HAHA!
