the low / med / high has nothing to do with osmium / gold etc .
it is a mesure of the engineer's elements contained it amidst the mineable comodities

My point being "griefing" is a deliberate ruination of fun by players, basically, it's harassment, and I would argue that an overly aggressive AI for overly-equipped NPCs doesn't constitute "griefing" because the intention isn't to ruin your fun or to have fun at your expense. Griefing is bullying and only people can do that.
ED_RecluseOn the other hand... MISSIONS are far more lucrative especially when you build good reputation. Several times I found missions paying over a million credits for a simple delivery of 80 odd units of some commodity. Of course with the threat of interdiction, they may not be so simple, but I must have gotten lucky as they went off without a hitch.
My new favorite missions are the ones to retrieve Experimental Chemicals (or other things) from USS. Often they pay upwards of 300-400K to retrieve 4 tons of stuff and are generally within only 8-10 light years of where the mission is received. The new mechanic of scanning the Nav beacon or using the Discovery Scanner to get a general location and then the automatic notification of the MISSION RELATED SIGNAL is very simple. Often you can stack multiple missions in the same system and come out with 700-800,000 credits for a quick run. The wild card is Interdiction, of course, as sometimes there are Pirates after the specific commodity, but again. I've been lucky with the short hops.
Typically they are ILLICIT CARGO, but even the few times I have been scanned, the fine was minor compared to the payout. In one case I lost some Reputation (Allied down to Friendly) with one faction in the system, but that wasn't too big a blow..

My point being
The last day or so I've been in and out at nav beacons, solo and open, and the difference is notable: the AI there is nowhere near as smart or inventive as the pirating AI. (And I haven't been blown up once, though I did - quite rightly - get my behind handed to me on a plate by a Competent Wanted I shouldn't have messed with.) It'd be nice to see the same range of tactics at nav beacons, although I imagine it would be a lot harder to program, given the differences in strategy required. Planning to check out a RES or two to see how it compares, though ED_Recluse's post isn't so encouraging there...

The RES zones are tougher for sure, and you MUST be careful picking targets, but the other side of it is there are LOTS of cops at the LOW/HIGH zones. Not just ones and twos in their little Eagles and Vipers like before, but WINGS of ANACONDAS. You can do well piggy backing on the cops, and if they are anywhere in the area, they will jump in to help you once a WANTED fires on you. The downside is, if you mess up and become Wanted yourself by clipping the wrong ship or not waiting for the scan to finish against a WANTED, the cops will be on you in a heartbeat too.
Crypt0n1xGood evening. Are there any wings that are recruiting that play on the Xbox One. My friend and I are searching for a community that we can assist with community goals, transporting, and bounty hunting. We are new to the game even though I have now logged over 100 hours in the last 7 days.
My GT is CRYPT0N1X zero for the O and 1 for the I. Look forward to meeting more people that play this game.
Rockin' The AntieUntil they sort out the NCP weapons debacle I rigged my Python out as a MinerExplorer and set off south of Lorenz Hub for a long distance voyage. I landed on a planet for the first time in a long while and while searching in the buggy I noticed that on the right hand screen where it usually gives a scanned ships pilot details in combat that it had my details and I was listed as Lawless in red and unaligned with any faction. I am aligned with the Guardians of Harmony in HIP 118213 and am unsure what the Lawless description in red means as to my knowledge I haven't committed any crimes or anything. The only thing strange I have noticed is that on my second or third jump when I began this trip I got a message about doing a mission for the federals which I ignored but yesterday, on my third day out I got another saying that the mission had failed, but I definitely never accepted any mission to begin with. Can anyone explain this to me?.

Lawless means that the system is probably controlled by an anarchy faction, you cant officially pledge to minor factions only power play so thats why ot says no faction. And about the mission I have no clue as i haven't had that happen to me.

Er... yeah. Just had my canopy shot away in one! I thought I could be clever and rely on the System Authority vessels there to get me out of a scrape... nope. They enjoyed the show, though.
