Today I upgraded the shield generator on my Clipper from a 6A to a 7A and that left me with a little over 3 million in cash and the Insurance on the clipper is 7 million. So what I did was take the Clipper to a Haz Res and worked up about 3 million in bounties and then manged to kill a clean pilot that was attacking me. Heck I am in combat and I have aggro and I turn to confront my attacker and kill him and now I have a bounty. Go Figure! So now my bounty is cleared in HIP 16607 and I have one at my new home of HIP 20524 so back to 16607 I go.

Then my wing mate and I decided we needed to learn how to fight with fixed weapons so we both bought Imperial Eagles, pimped them out and then I have 490,000 credits lol So a net worth of about 210 million and the only ship I can fly that has insurance is the Eagle :P

So I flew the Eagle back to HIP 20524, did a silent running turbo boost into the slot to avoid a scan and claimed my bounties. So I have about 3 million in cash now.

I decided to make a run to Cubeo. There were no donation missions, even after exiting and reloaded into different groups 5 time :( So I decided to go to Robigo as I've heard it mentioned so many times and have no clue whats so special about it. I got about half way into that dead zone with endless no fuel suns and decided to turn back and refit my ship with more fuel tanks. With the stock fuel tank on an Asp Explorer and an A3 fuel scoop I go just everywhere, except to Robigo :(

I made 30% Marquis last night... since I just got home from work, we'll see how things go, but I somehow doubt I'm going to close that gap.


Sweet, looks like we might call it a draw. Having to compete helped me as I was going to chuck in the towel. Soon there will be 2 new Cutters. :)

I was hunting wanted targets in Azrael, but it's very slim pickings. As with the missions from Raf's, there are hardly any there.

AFAIK most guys are going to Cubeo for the planetary assault BB missions at Roskam (and other) station on the surface of 3A. But I've heard that the missions have become less plentiful over the last week or so. :(

Rubigo is quite doable in an Asp with no extra tanks. I've done it several times, albeit a few months ago. I usually don't let my tank get below 1/2 on that run so that I don't get stuck in the dwarf field. I run a 5A scoop so it's possible to 'scoop on the run' for the trip back with all of the heat on your tail. ;)

Anyone know of local base attack planets? Asked before but had no response. Might drop power play for easier travel as I don't do merits

After 364 hours of gameplay i finally managed to buy myself Anaconda. Gotta say im loving my new ship. Just getting to know my "Ragranök" but it sure seems she has lots of firepower compared to Python and with FA off pretty agile too.

Now i just have to manage to fly that beast out of stations without scratching that docking port every time :D

A bit of mode switching (solo still refreshes) can usually turn up some nice pirate hunts, some as high as 5.5m plus some assassinations.

Learn something new every day, I didn't know that, will it also spawn more wanted ships in the system? Last night I was flying around Azrael for 2 hours and shot maybe 10 wanted ships. Don't get me wrong I love flying in my gold plated Fer-de-Lance, but even I have my limits.

Had a nice three-in-a-row Fuelrat evening yesterday. Two clients in rapid succession, plus one Code Red (fuel depleted and on emergency oxygen) right thereafter. That's how Ratting should be!

Oh and when I did another Dispatcher drill, some curious things happened -- like the Rat drilling as a Fuel Rat had to be rescued by it's Drillclient after the drill ... more here:
When the Rat was almost saved by the Damsel
