Completely forgot to check how far away from civilised space I was last night :shock:

I did however find one system with 4 undiscovered planets so I might be getting somewhere... :)

How do you avoid that bug, shooting at the ship that's offering the alternate choice?

Yep

When you drop into any USS: deploy guns, slow to mid-blue range, target next ship then maneouvre to get a bead on it. With luck you will be ready to open fire if you get something along the lines of "Glad I got your attention...". In some places, you will get a fine for firing, but at least it shuts him up.

If you get the message "Have you heard" you don't fire. It's the messeger telling you where to find your target.

Zipping around colonised space to cash in all the bounties I had accumulated, before settling in a far off Alliance system for a RES patrol.

Ah good, that's what I've been doing. I try and start in uninhabited systems to find the first USS. Very annoying bug this so I only pick these assassin missions when they payout is high enough.

Or rather, shoot anyone with messages you don't want to hear.

Made 7.8m bounty hunting for the Ceti Sector CG, today, which puts me in the top 5% with 12.3m contributed. And this is without counting the local bounties and those in Empire and Alliance.

Victoria and I were in one of those dream RES that kept spawning big ships like they were raining. At some points we could barely keep up! Thankfully, system security was there to give us a hand, as they brought 4 Condas in addition to the usual small fighters.

Victoria contributed another 13m or so to the CG. That's how good this RES was. And it never died. We kept it alive for hours and when we decided to call it a day, it was still spawning big ships in packs of three or four!

You're doing it wrong. You need to be like the top 5 on galnet...put on a diaper and insert a feeding tube so you don't have to leave the computer. When you die from blood clots in your butt, you can at have them put this on your gravestone: "Yes, he died from butt blood clots, but he was top 5 once in a video game". :)

With the news that selling modules will soon take a 10% penalty... I may do some selling and try out the Anaconda again...give it another chance.

nothing. zilch. zero. not a sausage.

into my 3rd day of waiting for the telecom to reconnect my phone line which they accidentally diconnected while trying to fix next door's line

briefly using a friend's mobile as an internet hotspot to access the forum, but i'm not gong to risk trying to play ED over it. no ED for me :(
