When I get to the station I get fined again for illegal cargo. I've been collecting floating cargo that larger ships jettison before they get toasted, some legal some not, but all market as 'stolen' so invariably the police ships in the RES scan me then fine me for the cargo I just grabbed that was otherwise floating in space.

However, as usual, a couple more questions. before that wing of 3 Vipers opened on me forcing a rapid GTFO of there maneuver. I wouldn't worry about the combat rank really, maxing it is an end game activity and many increase their trade rank before their combat rank since trade profits is an easy way to afford a good combat capable ship.īuksida wrote:Ok, so I've had some success in the RESs, it is a good way to get some kills under the belt for beginners. In res's and navigation beacons it might be slightly easier to start off, since you can pretty much piggy back on the local police, you can wait for the npc police to engage and once they are about to kill the pirate you can swoop in and kill off the last 50% and claim the bounty. They often contain a few pirate sidewinders or cobra's. Inow if you throttle down in cruise, and wait 30-60 seconds one will spawn almost in front of you, close enough that you can lock on the signal and drop immediately. The latter is spawned by the game around you and their distance to you is a function of how fast you are going. They aren't worth dealing with.Īs mentioned, the best places for hunting pirates are resource extraction sites, navigation beacons and unknown signal sources. The reservoir refills automatically from the main fuel tank as needed so don't worry about the reservoirĪs for systems with such large distances between them, I would just relocate.
