EpisparhAh, I think that you get just a fraction of bounty a player have, to prevent gankers from killing each other for easy money. I think the bounty from one jurisdiction is limited for players - something like 2mil maybe.

True, but in this CG you don't just get the bounty payouts, there's also a considerable cash reward on top of that. Might be worth cheating for.

EpisparhYeah, I am done with it for now. Perhaps I should create this pirate ship now.


How's it going for you?

I'm still a long way from making money from piracy. Certainly the toughest career I've come across in E:D to date but I'm enjoying learning how to do it.

Still some little bits I don't get. Like how in the vids they say you don't need a manifest scanner as all the transport ships in systems that obey x, y and z will be only carry LTDs.  - in my case, not so much. I've taken to using a manifest to check.

And since when is it so fricking difficult to invent a harpoon gun that works in space?

It's funny that in this CG Sirius Corp is paying bounties for having their own ships killed. I'd say this is not common corporate behaviour.

rob and live off the sale Hafnium 178

Hafnium-178m2 (Hf), Atomic Number 72 This nuclear isomer is capable of emitting incredibly powerful gamma rays, making it an excellent component of highly effective weapons of mass destruction. In this regard, the turnover of Hafnium-178 is under very tight control. Owning it without special permission is completely illegal.


Without relogs!

Question: Why is there no pirate rank in the game?

I may've said it on here before... I think that they should upgrade Blackmarkets to Underworld Contact.

Sell contraband as usual, but they can also give missions depending on your rank (same as Fed/All/Imp). You shouldn't always have to side with local pirates just to get some scallywag missions. Plus, from an RP angle, not all smugglers and contract killers are pirates or agree with Anarchy politics.

I will let you know once I finish the build and try it.

But I plan to use manifest scanner.... And force shell for stopping ships from drifting as push stop can be dangerous without a shield.

I find a complete restart sorts this everytime. Logging back in from the OrSi just continuously spawns more OrSi.

Fun fact: Had to use the task manager to end the game, so I guess something in the code had a hiccup?

Everytime for me.

I am convinced it is caused when a carrier is jumping into/out of a system, and it creates some erroneus connection issue. I dont seem to get this apart from areas of high carrier use, and once reset it runs fine.

I did get it in a system with just two carriers once, as the second one was jumping in. (wingmates so thats how i knew it was coming exactly then...)

CG top 10% threshold up by 6 million since last might. Plenty of people still playing in spite of Monday. Can't keep up with that.
