Is anyone going to be online today after 1900 London time?
I'm interested in finding a trade or bounty hunter wing and currently have a Viper MKIII in Wurango with 8ly jump range but have the cash for a T6. There is a HAZRES in this system next to the station, Paiget terminal.

Could possibly bring my FAS or something over if I'm about. I also recommend checking the TS.
Easier to winging on the fly is always ten times easier when you have voice coms already up and working. Something the in game voice coms hardly ever do.

I would say TS is about 1000 times better than the In game comms, and 10,000 times better than not using it. Nothing like being able to call targets and stating your battle plan when you are moving in on a high dollar target.
Typical Usage is below:
► Show Spoiler
Me: " Corvette at 11 O'clock. I'll swing left and draw his fire and you pound his shields."
Tor: "Got it, coming right and under him."
Me: "Hit him hard... Quick! I am loosing Sheilds!"
Tor: "Watch Your Six! 2 Bandits, FDL and FAS"
Me: "Too Late! Code 39! GTFO!"
Tor: "Running!"
Boom!
Me: "Well, that sucks"
Ka-Boom
Tor: "Yep. Sucks a lot."
Me: "What now?"
Tor: " Grab your Conda, I'll get the Cutter. We can have our money back in about 40 minutes."
Me: " Good Idea."

You also forget when I engage a wing of gunships thinking I have backup but noooo.
Kharma is fetching more beer and you where off to land and try buggy jumping a canyon on the nearby high g world...
Naturally we are all drunk by then...
Got to love weekends.
Having now made elite rank in trading I now intend to take an absolute leave of all forms of serious behaviour.
I have already started by checking to see if my FAS could fly through the holes in the solar panels rotating with rafferties.
Not between the paneøs but one of the holes IN THE panel itself.
(It did, with a lot of scraping noises and an engine boost and a slight repairbill)

I'm happy to tag along in my FDL if you're bounty hunting (i've no cargo space). I'd be making the trip from Anlave so it shouldn't take me long to get there.

I will be around from about 930pm game time (1030 UK Time). but not entirely sure for how long as it is Grand National day tomorrow and I have a stupidly busy day at work ahead of me. I'm definitely up for a BountyHunting session though
