I need to make back some rebuy money, and unless I quit my job, it would take me months to make it back in the CZ. (Spoiler alert, not quitting my job, since playing Elite doesn't pay my rent.)
CZ can be fun for me for about an hour, after that my boredom meter peaks out and I have to do something else. I couldn't imagine doing that for very long. To me its almost as boring as chasing down Sirius Transports and interdicting them.
I find that if I am careful and don't go crazy I can make about 3 million an hour in a High Rez or 5 to 6 million in a Haz rez.
I need cash as all I have is about 26 million. I do have 141 million tied up in my Clipper but after working so hard to get to Baroness rank I really don't want to sell it.
I am currently using a Federal Assault Ship for combat and with its mass ( greater than an Anaconda ) and its agility 6/10 plus fire power its an excellent choice. Its jump range is a joke though so I had to drop allot of armor for a fuel scoop.
Now I ranked up Federation Navy to get into a Gun Ship and I am appalled as to the number of slots its had and the way its laid out. For example I can fit a size 6 power supply and a size 7 power distributor, but I can't swap the modules. There are also a limited number of additional module slots over and above what is hard coded. Trying to actually load up on firepower over taxes the power module, so even with all those weapon slots, 1 large, 4 medium and 2 small, I have to use the lower weapons to even hope to deploy them and not shut down the ship!
And to top it off the agility is the same as the Drop Ship at 2/10. Heck the Drop Ship has more internals.
