A-Team needs some help....

Say the word. I could always need more money to do stupid stuff with.

Will let you know as soon as my ranking is done. We can get Dawg in there and 3 Cutters will kill that market quickly, but I have several more mapped out.

Very tempting. Have got this far without trading a single slave. But very tempted.
Those A modules I want are a bit pricey. Sold them from the Cutter to buy the Corvette.

These are Imperial Slaves which are not the same as Slaves. Some may argue the nuance, but I look at them different as long as you are not selling them to Non-Imperial worlds then they are bound by Imperial Law to treat them by the law. Slave-Slaves are wrong.

I think the short term goal will be 99% Vice-Admiral and 99% Prince.
That way it may be less of a grind but still able to do the unique ranking missions that were hinted at as part of the mission overhaul, then work on the combat rank.
Probably not much more Canonn /UA/Barnacle stuff until 2.1 ships either.
Been Dangerous far too long.

Nice. I have found that when I get to the area, I stop in Alrai, Bhotega, LHS 1748 and Ross 1057 to pick up supplies. Then to Tun to run the boards. Another little trick, instead of waiting for the boards to refresh, logout and close the launcher, count to ten and start it back up. Resets them each time quicker.

Thanks for the tip of closing the game and launcher to reset! I wasn't aware of that one.

You don't find that the BB is stingy with food/weapons missions if you have that item in your cargo hold?

Up to 50% on Vice Admiral so far. It's taking longer than expected, but that's okay.

I tried Exbeur as Cometborne recommended, but was having bad luck at the two stations that I visited. Not much at all on the BB's.

Seems just the luck of the draw, when I did an hour before work on Friday, Exbeur was spiting out Charity and Classified Data missions like a multi-cannon spits bullets. Early Friday evening was still fine, late Friday it starting bad, and today it is either just dead, or the Classified Data missions require an exploration rank of Pioneer or Ranger. At the same time, Tun went from dead to full of missions.

Oh well, 13% Rear Admiral by now, so I am most of the way there.

Nope, the worst part is when you run low and have 8 of an item and they want 10.

All Finished now. Took me about 1.5 hours tops to do it. I will be making some money later, just have to wait for company to arrive, put in an appearance, then slip away to play.

We will have 3 cutters draining the runs I have. See how long they hold up when you are dropping 2100+ tonnes every 15 minutes.

Just made it to Admiral too. Next step; Hail to the King baby!

CMDR's, quick word of thanks to all posting here - advice was well received and proved most effective.

Here's looking forward to 2.1

Many Thanks..

Dawg - o7

PS, I think I may have dropped the keys to the Cutter somewhere in Raff's. If anyone finds them could they hand them in to the barkeep please. (If he asks about the bar tab.....shhh, say nothing )

It's not like imperial slave is the only profitable thing to peddle.


Sure it is the most profitable but for instance loading both types as ignored into eddy.
You can get plenty of routes making you over 3500 cr profit pr ton.

So you make about 2.5 mil per loop instead of 3 with a cutter.

Finished off my Fed rank today.

This afternoon Tun's BB was flowing like hot butter sitting in the Arizona sunshine in the middle of summer.

For those who are working on Fed rank, here's what I did (besides the obvious donation missions)

Fruit, grain, and algie missions can be filled directly from Tun's Wart station's commodities. Handy as hell, I say.

Reactive armor, non-lethal weapons, basic meds, progenitor cells, and agri-meds can be bought at Alrai -Bounds station.

Fish, coffee, animal meat, and tea can be bought at Ross 1057 - Wang station.

Both systems are one jump from Tun in my Asp.

I ignored all other BB missions.
