Hola a todos! Estoy haciendo mi primer viaje de 5000 años luz. Ya he escaneado muchos sistemas y planetas y algunos de ellos descubiertos por mi. Todavia me quedan unos 2000 años luz mas y la vuelta. Me aterra perder todos los datos que consiga. Aguna sugerencia para no perderlos? Gracias

Si tu rol lo permite la opcion "solo" te permitira llegar a puerto seguro.

Charlie110Hey Folks,

Fed rank - what a grind!!

Want my vette but the grind is insane..

I checked forums, and rescue missions from damaged stations can't do because there are no damaged stations.

Ochosi and Chakpa data runs are extremely minimal even with high faction rank and the missions are dryer that the Sahara.

I'm chief petty officer and my soul is dead..

Any advice? I'm verging on giving up forgetting the vette


Much faster will be doing Canopus to Exphiay run. You need some ship with space for cargo (more - better). Just be prepared for a lot of interdictions. Sometimes 2-3 in a row.

_Nemix_Due to some shenanigans in Deciat I apparently not only became wanted but now have notoriety. I was interdicted and destroyed my first player ship.

I can't just pay off the fine. I went to interstellar faction and same there (says I need to simmer down a bit first). So I travelled a few systems away so I could get some fuel. After refuelling I proceeded to get notoriety in that system as well. I think that is what it is but haven't gone to interstellar faction to check....figured it wouldn't work due to the first time I got notoriety. I am not sure how it happened this time as I was fighting NPCs around an installation of some sort.

Yes, I realize some may consider that I am making poor choices. However, I don't want to "wait out the notoriety cool-down" by mining or sitting idle and want to do some more PVP. What options are there to get fuel and repair with notoriety? Do I need to shuttle back and forth between Deciat (or equiv.) and a location where I am not wanted? I don't want to outfit a fuel scoop and lose a defensive module.


never fly without a fuel scoop. that is your first issue.

Second, have a kill warrant scanner to see who is wanted or not.

but beyond that- coriolis ports are all i would suggest.

Don’t Give Up! The vette is worth it!

I started off in Ochosi and Chakpa in a Viper MK IV. Then I went out to Ceos / Sothis and did the Federation data missions in a Python. And finished it off based from LHS 20 (need to make friends with the major faction) and went for boom time cargo deliveries in a Python so I could land at smaller outposts.

This made it more interesting. Good luck.

Regarding the current CG:

According to DTEA's Multi-Stop Route Planner the optimal route is:

Luyten's Star - Geras - Aerial - Goman - Karsuki Ti - Irukama - Lave - Ethgreze - Luyten's Star (a total of 794.93 ly)

Be aware though that your stop in Geras is 1m ls away from the main star, so keep that in mind.

Well I was taking a look at the Massacre mission tool yesterday and determined the best system to hunt Massacre Missions for Feds is in Uchaluroja via missions obtained from the 12 separate Federation factions in GD 69 and Gertrud.  Might be more entertaining than Data Delivery missions.  This is only theory atm as I have not tested it out yet.

I've been doing data courier and cargo delivery missions between Ceos and Sothis for the last two and half days. Went up from Warrant officer to Post commander. No shortage on missions.

Bringing a Type-9, like I did, makes it challenging though. Cargo-wise it's effective of course, but the rather frequent interdictions by deadly Anacondas are difficult to evade. And as my T-9 is lightly shielded, I've faced four rebuys by now. The other pirates don't pose any threat. In a more agile ship it's neither a problem.

What's the best tactic/defensive equipment apart from shields and HRP/MRP to survive a non-evadable interdiction in my T-9? In my Vulture I would know what to do.

Sounds interesting for a change. Could somebody comment who did this already on how this compares?

Thanks.

For optimal result you need just 2-3 of the systems.

Actually the optimal run is just Lave and back .

Sigh, need to switch to my Asp for a while. At the next interdiction I just had three pirate Anacondas dropping in after the interdiction.

Perhaps somebody knows how to get out of this in a slow ship.?

Submit to interdiction, boost and highwake. If your hull and shields are not complete paper you should manage it out in about thirty seconds.

Are NPC interdictions really that difficult to evade?

Rebecca HailSubmit to interdiction, boost and highwake. If your hull and shields are not complete paper you should manage it out in about thirty seconds.

I'm trying exactly this. Also silent running with heat sinks, mines, rockets, etc. If the ship would last 30 s, I would likely get out.

What are suggested, typical shield or hull resistances for trading ships?

SakashiroAre NPC interdictions really that difficult to evade?

Only in a Type-9 and only against at least deadly Anacondas. Even then sometimes I'm able to evade. But now and then not.
