Heh tell me about it. just as I complained, a conda showed up and started a pissing contest with a python, then halfway through a clipper came to watch the show. Racked up a nice half mill right there and then.

Theres fish in them waters alright, come get some! :P

RES farming at the moment is a most lucrative career....

The big ship spawn was a bit weak for us it seems, only been able to amass about 1 mill all night.

Was a ton of fun none the less. Hope you made some money, Vaesna!

Thanks for the great hunt, Sokonomi, hope to fly out soon again -- and hello fellow Mercenary. And very good to fly with you, Vaesna, was fun!
But one thing was intersting. It seemed that as long as we had the Side in our wing (2 Vultures+it), there were only minor ships spawns. Before the Sidey got in, and right after it left (and we changed RES), lots of Dropships, occasional Anacondas and Pythons. As if the game would scale to CMDRs ship sizes. And yes, we resettetd the RES during the three-ship hunt.
Any other who made a similar experience?

Took my Anaconda there, made a quick 1m before the inevitable having to run to the next system to pay off a silly 200cr bounty..... my usual trick is to load up with some nice cargo and sit above the RES like a honeypot, they always come to me ;)

One thing I noticed was that somebody was firing off dumbfire missiles that didn't seem to expire, this messed up my targetting since it will always target the missles even though there are ships firing on me.

Nice to have met you there, Victoria. Fine ship. And sorry for the sometimes crowded hunts on the few bigger fish ...

PS But no, no dumpfires here. We encountered some strage Sidey behaviour, though. And my controls went haywire at some point, like FA on/Off, Throttle up etc, which was quite an experience in a asteroid field ...
As for the targeing, I hate Proximity mines -- just the same mess, and they last forever.
