What are you doing (ingame) now?

Oh boy, last time I read my repair bill would be 20k (a Python with 58% hull), now I log in to read 560 k!
Means high repair costs are not a bug but a feature now, right? Well have to figure out how to make so much money so it actually pays to do combat missions ...

Use a Vulture, hardly costs anything at all to repair. They are still looking into repair costs, I think from what I read the Python is bugged.

I'm not sure it's much of an indicator, as I don't generally stay to fight if my shields ever go down. (Which they don't, in a RES) But my repair costs are very very seldom greater than my re-arm costs--not more than a few thousand. Red is all A-ranked internals, except for life support. Not sure if that matters...?

Edit: I guess we're talking about significant hull damage, aren't we? My comments may not be relevant, in that case.

Thanks Victoria, I will. I managed to blow my Python up anyway when chasing down a target near a sun and not paying enough attention to both escorts AND overheating ...
... AND due to flying with 58% hull due to that repair bill, though I don't think that really would have mattered.
Bit of a shame really, but well , I will scrap the Courier for a Vulture again. The Courier is bright and nice but just does not deliver enough of a punch (and is neither good at travelling or anything else it seems).

@Unmarkedboxcar I currently only have a D grade PP and D grade shields, even shield boosters do not seem to be able to compensate. I think it is just underequipped to be effective. While the 58% "starting damage" came from two heavy fights against assassination targets in wings.

Ohh no!

[uvelius]

Ohh no!

Yes, it sort of made my day ...

I'm so sorry... I will totally blast that star with my Plasma Accelerator!

I totally feel your pain. I got 700k bounties from a RES tonight and my repair was 380k

[Soulmirror]

First night of Bounty hunting, I have not tried a res yet, I parked outside a star in a system that I had an assassinate mission. Traffic was steady, best bounty was 52K, no fines, made 300K in 90 min. I know that is not great however, just cutting my teeth and I probably need to read more on BH. Definitely more enjoyable than hauling...

[UnmarkedBoxcar]

Got about 500k and 1% toward my next combat ranking in a High Intensity RES. Was there for less than an hour, mostly small ships, but higher ranks.

Not bad at all. I'll fiddle around later when I've got more time and try and find some bigger ships to collect on.

Edit: Though, I'm not as much concerned with making money as I am with progressing toward "Deadly."
