Re: Lower bounties since Power Play?

Re: Lower bounties since Power Play?

Last night in the Fusang system (med sec) I had some really good luck. First attempt at a high intensity RES was nothing but dangerous and deadly small ships, while not what I was looking for I still stayed for a while since it was fun fighting these ships. Reset after 30 min to see if I could get b...

Re: Helping Hudson

I am back aligned with Hudson. Was initially then defected, now that I understand PP better I switched back... plus everyone I know in game hangs out in his territory :) You guys planning to coordinate anything, even if we don't all wing together? Pages such as this are being used to help coordinate...

Re: RE: Lower Bounties...

The CZ boost I think is due to the powers, even if you don't belong to a power you benefit from their presence. I have been doing that to supplement things so I have some income, switched back to a python for more efficient killing. It's alright you haven't been on much, I've been adrift the last fe...

Re: Lower bounties since Power Play?

That I do not know, and didn't try. I was in a system last night owned by another power but felt going to a RES may be a mistake given that the security forces would be showing up. The killing for merits will gain you a bounty so it would make it difficult to stick in a RES. The only possible way is...

Re: Lower bounties since Power Play?

By the way, is it possible to gain merits and still gain bounties? In RES? Maybe I'm not understanding your question, I wasn't aware of a way to gain merits through RES hunting. You do get a bounty if you participate in PP and kill ships to gain merits, but only for the system you did it in. I pers...

Re: So far with Power Play

Ok, I think I've figured things out. If you're looking to do combat PP you need to click through each of the other powers, and check their control, expansion, and prep, and see what it literally says you need to do to counter the other power. For example I'm aligned with L-Duval, I flew to Alioth (h...

Re: Lower bounties since Power Play?

Well, they're still broken. I tried several times last night to get a decent RES, managed to get one that started with a clipper but then over 20 minutes of sidewinders and eagles. They are at least acknowledging a problem... From Michael Brookes: "It's fair to say that the resource extraction ...

Re: Bounties - Are you a wanted criminal?

I went on the FDev forums, read about how to participate in combat PP, went out and tried it... and all I got was a 13k bounty :(

Re: Lower bounties since Power Play?

I did notice an improvement yesterday too, after 3 days of nothing. This patch is going in right now though, so either it was luck or this change today is in addition to something they maybe changed on the back end yesterday or with yesterdays patch. Either way I'm excited to try this out tonight. :)
