The Dangerously Elite

Tim Stone

01:26

Hmm

Got a notice on killing a Python for merit that it was a 56,000 Cr score

Unionhawk

Did they fix?

:o

Is it combat bonds now?

Tim Stone

Well you still only get one point

But you (seem) to get a better payout Cr-wise

Rapitor

where?

Unionhawk

But you get paid

Tim Stone

So it's less dumb

Rapitor

01:36

hudson is already nearly completely undermined again

Unionhawk

Nice

Rapitor

01:54

hmm... should i use a plasma accel or railgun

Unionhawk

Uh

Depends?

Which ship which hardpoint?

Clipper?

Rapitor

courier center point

went with railgun. gonna see what this thing can hunt...

makes sure he can afford rebuy...

Unionhawk

Yeah, don't fly without insurance

Ever

Always remember you retain 5% of losses (is in the insurance business)

Rapitor

definitely a shock to fly this in actual engagements when i've been flying clipper for so long

this is so tiny and touchy

Unionhawk

02:09

I'd not want to fly without insurance ever, regardless of risk

Rapitor

i try to.... but insurance for clipper is 2mil... so... i often forget

Unionhawk

My insurance has gone up. I need to check.

I think 800?

Rapitor

i'm at 244k right now.. very managable..

i can handle that with loan

Rapitor

02:36

not being able to ram things anymore.. is difficult to remember

Rapitor

03:01

well that wasn't bad. shields only got popped once because i rammed a vulture

Unionhawk

03:28

Well done genius

Tim Stone

03:46

@Unionhawk Actually I take it back, I don't think you do

I think the game got confused because a Crime Sweep and a Combat Zone were in close proximity

Which is pretty special

Unionhawk

Damn

Tim Stone

We'll see when I turned in, but it's not showing me the message anymore at this different Crime Sweep

Unionhawk

FUCK

FD PLS

"it's not supposed to be a money maker"

AHDJGURNR

GFD ROEMWNEJR

Tim Stone

Yeah, I don't really care what the incentive is, there just needs to, y'know, be one for larger ships >_>

Unionhawk

Ya

If I'm going to engage a python, I need a reason other than he's actually denting my shield

Rapitor

04:07

1 dollar

@Unionhawk hey, i'm used to clipper where i can plow at least small ships without any trouble.

kappagasm

06:04

hah

Unionhawk

11:55

Yeah, exactly, if they gave me real money to kill big ships, then, well

That be different

Rapitor

14:41

there's been a whole lot more traveling since powerplay went underway... so I think I'm going to build a DB explorer or ASP so i can do long range missions/supply runs..

Unionhawk

Ya

Rapitor

i was hoping i could manage that with courier, but it's jump isn't as good as i thought

Unionhawk

No

And its cargo is none

Rapitor

cargo is enough for a small ship

Unionhawk

How much can you fit in it? Maybe 16?

Rapitor

14:44

20 with shields and scanner.

16 with fuel scoop

Unionhawk

That's not terrible, but... eh

At that rate, laden jump is only around 18

Which isn't bad

But it's not good

Rapitor

exactly.

Unionhawk

You can get like 25 in Asp with cargo iirc

Tim Stone

I think mine gets like 23 with cargo, yeah

Unionhawk

Not bad

Tim Stone

14:47

And I've got all that combat stuff in there

Unionhawk

How much cargo?

Rapitor

explorer can get more i think.

Unionhawk

Oh?

Tim Stone

Only 32, I could get more by dropping my hull reinforcements though

Unionhawk

I may have to investigate the DB:E

I'll need to hunt though

There's no way I could outfit a 2M credit ship

I could do some, not all

Tim Stone

14:48

You should do some pirate hunting missions. Those are fun, heh.

Kill 10 pirates and get 400k! ...Plus the bounties for killing pirates!

Unionhawk

I may do that. Do they actually pay y-- oh shit

400k bonus for hunting sounds pretty nice

That's like, 4 old assasinations

Do you get a million for an assassination now?

Tim Stone

Nah, most are in the 100-200k range from what I've seen.

Unionhawk

hwat

Tim Stone

They're smaller ships

Like the one guy they wanted me to kill was an Eagle winged with another Eagle >_>

Unionhawk

Do they only send elite pilots after elite condas now?

Since that's a thing?

Tim Stone

14:51

It could be, yeah

Unionhawk

Would make sense

Tim Stone

Since the missions have rank requirements

Unionhawk

I think there's Elite or Founder for some

Aka, the paper robot qualifies

Tim Stone

Rank being a super-overloaded term in Elite now

Unionhawk

And @kalina, technically

wtf autocorrect

Tim Stone

14:51

There we go

lol

Unionhawk

IE has autocorrect apparently

And IE is what I use at work

Rapitor

the missions for assasinations still pay only a few hundred k, but it's usually only 1 target. the pirate hunting missions are anywhere from 4-9

i've noticed the bulletin board has missions that all go to the same system. So just pick up everything you can do and only travel 1 jump instead of all over like before

Unionhawk

@Rapitor Yeah, so more money

I can handle 4-9 targets

Tim Stone

It's not even all at once or anything, so

Although you can find 7-deep pirate wings in Strong Signal Sources

Unionhawk

It's an elite anaconda that is hard

@TimStone OOo

Faaaancy

tvtropes/TheComputerIsAGiantCheater

:D

Tim Stone

14:56

I cinqtupled (?) down and ran three delivery missions, an assassination mission, and a pirate hunting mission all in the same system.

Unionhawk

But yeah, I can clean up 9 pirates with bounties for a bonus

Tim Stone

I killed a pirate Anaconda and got 222k, so that was a nice bonus on top of the 400k

Rapitor

anacondas are only a problem because of their never-miss multicannons.

Unionhawk

Noice
