If it's down to 1% and you're at the ragged end of your laser charge, you might find an NPC gets a lucky hit on the power plant so you lose the bounty. Pausing at 20% lets you fully recharge lasers and you can be the one dealing the killer blow to the plant. I've noticed that if you're mashing the fire button with no power in your lasers, even with four pips to weps you still end up losing the bounty about 20% of the because an NPC gets a lucky shot.

As of today, this advice is not really useful any more. FD have prevented NPCs from claiming bounties through "lucky" shots to the power plant in the latest update.

Learning how to fly my new Shiny Python, so used to swooping around like an avenging angel of death in my Vulture. Enjoying it though - the project now is to upgrade it to A Spec - only a 100Mil more or so needed lol :) Will keep me busy for a week or 2 :)

This is how it looks at the moment.

And this is what I am aiming for.

we're in the same boat then, trying to locate certain parts has proven to be less than straightforward. still trying to find an A7 power plant somewhere

If you find an A7 Power plant or A7 Power Distributor - let me know - I'm currently on a tour of High Tech/Extraction systems looking for them and selling Gold/Consumer goods to fund my new Python Habit :)

Got my Asp out of dry dock and am venturing back out into the deeper reaches of space for some more exploration after a lengthy trade grind to the conda recently. I've pretty much picked a first nav point as being the planet i stopped at last time, but on the way i've already stopped twice to discover 3 full systems which have as yet been unclaimed.. current one has 9 ringed planets, so busy on those at the moment :)

Making money at an RE site. Think I've made a million this afternoon.

Scooping fuel is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. First check the target is hot enough,
then approach slowly. Once close enough, pull out your scoop and fill her up. After you're done just
gently pull away, turn around and leave.

Thanks Mario - just took a trip there and Perez Ring does indeed have both the Power Generator and Distributor in A7 Class :)

Thank you :)
