What are you doing (ingame) now?

[Black Rose]

Ok so I read up on Robigo and checked out some posts for a smuggler build for my Asp.

After refitting my baby it looked like an eggshell with an engine. Seriously, light weight allow and no shields? Heats sinks and cargo racks. All D rated modules with an A5 FSD and a B5 fuel scoop ( didn't have the cash for an A)

Ok now lets see, jump range is a bit over 30 unladen and off we go from HIP 16607. 14 jumps, looks decent. On my original Asp build it was 30 jumps from Cubeo.

Well I made it there and plenty of fuel and only ran across 3 dead stars. Now I looked over the missions and took enough to total 13 million in rewards. Now just have to make it back......NOT

I was interdicted on the 1st jump, escaped and then on the 2nd, I was interdicted again and silent running is about as useful as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest and the paper mache hull fell apart in like 3 seconds. End of my career as a smuggler

I did manage to make "Pathfinder" on the trip down though

I think you give silent running far too much credit.

At least you weren't hauling illicit crap this time.

Nothing... Just out of Surgery on Saturday and feel like a walking zombie....

I installed ED on my new laptop and I get 30fps at 4K with 960M (High settings)
So perhaps I can play when I am away from home also

Can''t risk flying yet. Most likley I will crash into the station...

Just got to read your post mate.. Take it steady, speedy recovery.

I'm a Duke 2%. You may kneel Schobius.

Something, something, French revolution.

I'm at about 40% marquis... Starting to get burnt out on this grind, but... Soon!

I understand your pain. If I never see Cubeo or Xi Wangar again, it will be too soon.

Chunks of 20% as targets keep you going. You can do it.

Hummm..... I'm too much of a chicken to ever run without shields. Here is my Asp long range smuggler setup.

I don't use silent running. Just boost, chaff (only when needed), jump, after submitting to interdiction. Flying in an evasive manner helps a lot when the pirates/cops are following you in SC. Weaving around to keep them from getting behind you keeps them from being able to interdict you. Once I got some practice, I was making Robigo runs with 14-18 deliveries and only a handfull of interdictions. Don't forget too that if a cop is scanning you and you deploy hardpoints, it stops his scan for a few seconds.

Saw at least 6 other commanders in my instances last night including two Federal Corvettes. Those are impressive space crafts I have to say. Hunting was a bit better, including some Anacondas en Gunships worth well over 100k in bounty.

Thanks a lot Dud.. Doing my best

Now I have my Cutter, I am unsure what I shall do next. Return to my trading to rebuild my funds or do some OoM missions in Azrael. Alas I had to sell my FDL as well as my hated T9, but I still have my Asp and Vulture stationed at Rafferty's. Plus my Cutter. Maybe I'll trade for a day or so just for the financial insurance that brings then do the OoM stuff.

CMDR's,

Is anyone currently Bounty Hunting in the Bhotho Haz Rez on AB 3? If so, is it beneficial to wing up or just roll solo?

I definitely plan to do a lot of trading once I get my cutter. That's most of the reason I want it. It's definitely my best shot at reaching Elite status.

The ship isn't really great for anything but trading and looking sexy.

At 58% Marquis.... Seems like I get an ok number of imperial missions on my first run of the night, and after that, the boards are more barren than Anne Boleyn. I actually got zero from Lubbock last night on my last run after cycling 4 modes, and only one or two at Roskam and Finch. And Cubeo 3A seems to be changing seasons, and now Metcalf is almost as inpenetrably dark as Lubbock was a week or two ago, making it much harder to take out turrets quickly while still out of range.

I need this to be over. Now.
