Wing = x4 !!!
1,300,000,000 / 4 = 325,000,000 kr
for the first day, I managed to get 200,000,000 cr
p.s. solo




Not for Pirate Bounties it isn't. Everyone in the wing gets the same credits with no multiplier. You theoretically could be killing 4x faster if the actual kill rate was the only limiting factor (it isn't) but even in a wing you still need the same number of kills to get to the top ten so your math is wrong.

And I didn't say 200million was impossible, just insane. Also, 200 million in a day is great and all. Now do that 5 days in a row the whole while not knowing if it will be enough...



Wingman Shared Bounties
When attacking wanted vessels, every wingman that takes part in the fight, landing some hits on target,
will no longer receive an equal "share", or equal split, of the bounty.
As of Update 2.3, every wing-man receives a copy of the full bounty,
as long as they are present when the vessel is destroyed.

*shared not multiplied. This is still 4 players each making 1x bounty, not 1 player making 4x bounty or any other muliplier other than the straight max, same, bounty. If you want to get to 1billion credits you still need to kill 1000ish pirates, not 250, winged or not.

Daiyousei7I just put them in the cargo bay. If anyone complains I open the cargo hatch and suddenly, no more complaints.



A sentence worthy of a Duval.



I'd like to point out abusing Imperial Slaves is (usually) a severe crime, given how important that institution is for the Empire and its citizens.

To be honest, Imperial Slavery is something a lot of citizens from IRL countries would go for, given at its very basis does seem to be different than 7-3 (or 9-5) jobs, although with way better benefits (free healthcare, food provision, good standards housing, etc.)

Right? More humane than having to work three part time jobs and having no feasible insurance option or having to choose between electricity and food, such as happens in the u.s.

I really like the direction FDev is going with the story leading up to Odysee

I can see wars breaking out and if they nail the combined arms combat in these fronts it's going to be awesome

Hi. I was intercepted several times by thargoids, but it was always one interceptor. Yesterday I was intercepted twice and the first time it was 3, and the second time it was two interceptors at the same time. Has this always been the case, or is something changing?

The hyperdiction encounter randomly assigns 1-3 Thargoids. Nothing new here unfortunately.

well I have got board of rescuing Passengers and have now gone for cleaning out the debris within the station, escape pods, black boxes etc. Collector limpets, 60 tonnes cargo and I then pick up as much as I can in while i burn through heat sinks. Then back to the rescue ship to marry up my cargo with missions. Getting loads of MATs, money and reputation.

The escape pods are actually non-complaining passengers who come prepackaged.

Finally, I found a perfect use for the T-7 in those rescue missions. In addition to 144 cabin space I have fitted a small shield, collector limpets and some cargo space. So before landing I collect a few floating people and mats. Although, the mats are actually not worth the effort. They are only G1 or G2.

I tend to find best results to pick up cargo & mats as part of passenger rescues. Any module class 3 or under can be limpet and cargo, anything class 4+ cabins. At the moment there’s always a couple of pain-in-the-arse condas competing for passengers, so can’t always fill cabins with 3+ rep but I think mats and cargo are instanced per pilot, not shared.

Seems like T-7 is the optimal solution for stuffing people like sardines, with best pax.cap per size/cost ratio.

I think so, though I haven't tried every other ship.
In particular her handling is quite good through all the debris.

Little bumpy road here and there but my Beluga is pretty successfull in these rescuing missions

true that, but I am getting my Mats fully updated so am happy to have G1 & G2 mats... filling the hold

I stopped flying rescue missions. They're getting boring fast. The part where you navigate through the burning station is too short and not really challenging. The other 90% consist of clicking through menus. Yawn.

I'd rather grind my navy ranks through combat missions, even if it takes longer. At least that will also advance my combat rank at the same time. And they pay more, even if you choose the REP+++ rewards.
