Tomciopalec all I need is a combat ship, a good one, like type 7 and go and find CZ in the CG system
and kill bunch of pirates
no need for hunting down and pulling pirates from hyperspace, right ?

This CG is bounty hunting, which means killing pirates. Do NOT go to CZs for this one - conflict zones are fights between two factions who are at war, but you get combat bonds from those, not bounties.

After you've signed up for the CG, you need to go and kill pirates. You don't need to pull them out of hyperspace, but where you go to find them depends on how good your ship is, and/or how confident you are at combat.

The easiest way to find pirates is to go to Resource Extraction Sites (RES) which you'll find in the rings around the gas giants in that system. It sounds like you aren't experienced in combat, so stick to the non-Hazardous RES, then try to follow the system security ships and help them take down targets, so you can get credit for kills without too much risk.

The best returns will come from Hazardous RES, or the installations in the system which will spawn combat events with waves of attackers, but these are more dangerous if you don't have a decent combat ship. The installations are probably the most profitable, but maybe a bit more random in terms of how long you have to wait for the attack to start.

good stuff, thank you

Thanks to this site I am able to do more in this sim, and its awesome
I think that fdev made the mechanics so cryptic, that who ever gets addicted to it will seek others for answers, and sites like this helps, ALOT
as this example shows, I have not been involved in gamming group like this one before, never mind posting to the chat,
I am antisocial, I guess thank you ALL again o7

Welcome to the ED community! Inara is without a doubt the best third party site related to ED. I understand the antisocial aspect, I was largely the same until I also got into ED. It has been my experience that the community surrounding ED has made the game as awesome as it is, far more so than the actual game itself. Hope you enjoy it!

Hi, what's the best place to find wings for current and future CGs?
19 Mar 2022, 12:29pm
TomciopalecThanks Alex,
this game, for some reason, made me very scared of loosing my ship, so I keep away from any combat related activities
my first kill was a drone on a planet surface, boy did it feel good
I know, most of you fighters are scratching your head by now, but for me this was more real than ever (VR had something to do with that)
so going back to my question ,
all I need is a combat ship, a good one, like type 7 and go and find CZ in the CG system

This might help. Four more parts after that one, which will give you just about everything you need to know to deal with combat against NPCs:

MeowersIf you're taking damage in space CZ then you're doing something terribly wrong...

Are you sure about that? The only way I know how to avoid any damage in a CZ is to not join a side. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

If you're inexperienced in combat, you need a Vulture like this. Obviously, if you have engineers unlocked, you can improve it. The main things to concentrate on in priority sequence are power plant, power distributor, thrusters, shields, shield booster and lasers :

I'm not sure what resource extraction sites there are in the target system, but start in a low one, then normal one, then high. In all of those, the police will be there to help you. A beginner in a Haz RES wouldn't last 5 minutes. The high RES will give you the highest amount of bounty money. Log until you get a spawn of big ships. Ships are easy to kill in a low RES, but you don't get much money for it.

Yeah, maybe they make it cryptic to weed out the casual gamer, or maybe (and I fall on this side of the fence) because it's more work to explain everything yourself when you got an interweb full of nerds who'll do the job for you.

Don't worry about sociability. Play the game how it feels right for you. I have friends who play ED only in Solo so I've never once flow with them. We still talk about places and events we've come across but we'll never share them in game. Also my choice never to raise a gun on a thargoid or human pilot. Doesn't mean I've not been killed by both.
I can't help out this CG, but if you ever want to wing up and take on some pirates together in the future, then drop me a PM. I'm not always on this discussion thread, but I'm always on Inara.

Clutter Cutter almost ran out of fuel last night.



Was lucky to find an EDO settlement with a large landing pad.

There should be an option to pull out your SRV and get some canisters of fuel at Surface settlements, just drive for potentially 300km
