I didn't quite get why you ran from a FAS. I haven't had much of a problem with them in a RES flying a Vulture. Then I got interdicted over a planet surface by a FAS and had zero chance against him. I high waked out with no shields and 80% hull.

Anyhoo, I was running a mission at the time. I'd already checked the wreck site 3 times, but there was no cargo canisters. Then I logged out and in and got interdicted. After coming back to the system, I tried another few times, logging out between for fresh instances, but still no canisters. Is this what they call a broken or bugged mission? So far I've already blown 1.5 - 2 hours on it.
It's time to give this another go.

Well done to everyone who did their bit, we've been after this for some time, and it is well deserved.

For those Bounty Hunters amongst us it's going to be nice to have some RESs in the same system as one of our bases.


I dropped into a CZ tonight and was able to pick up 108K in bonds. It helped that there were a lot of OoM NPCs in the CZ to help me out. It felt like fighting the Battle of New Orleans after the war had ended.

Then I went to Sabine for the night. I noticed on Inara that no one had changed the Minor Faction for Sabine to the Order, so I did that. Then I noticed that no one had changed it for Reamy, either. :P

I have been hunting the CNB at Asphodel. Picking my fights in the Vette.
The smaller ships buzz round you and I have had to put a couple of turrets in to slow cook them.

FD want us to 'go were no Commander has gone before' and I think that is why they have made combat boring.

I am really close to getting my level 5 FSD upgrade... I just need to rank to level 5 with Farseer. I think I need about 2million more credits worth of exploration data to give her, and that is proving to be quite the grind. The surveying would be relaxing if I didn't want to just get my FSD upgrade already.

If I do all this, and get a bad roll, I will not be pleased. I only have 2 of the necessary wake scans, and only 2 polonium, so I only get one shot at this for the foreseeable future.

oh that, well you know when you are doing missions and you get those "Mission Critical Message" come through, well I knew the guy in FAS was being sent after me, more importantly however the message said his name and 1 of 4, so I knew he would have three buddies with him, so with a hold full of 4 or 5 different unique missions cargo I didn't think it worth while risking a battle with a FAS + three others :)

Hello,
Bit ridiculous now.
Plotted a route across the Formidine rift. Stopped for dinner. Came back and got the gal map to plot the route again and it fails. :(
WTH?

Have fun, fly safe. o7

Ran over to 49 Arietis based on a tip from the FD board here for what looked like some fun smuggling missions. When I got there, I found that the smuggling missions were locked to reputations of friendly or higher with two factions. (I was neutral with all 7 factions there). I got and completed several missions for the other factions, and was 'cordial' with the other 5 after some donations and fetch missions, but never got a single mission for the two anarchy factions to help me rank up with them so that I could get to the juicy stuff.

Any ideas on how I could improve my reputation with those two factions? (there is no war in the system and no RES that I could find)

Decided to roll the dice and get the Python out of storage for order missions. However, as I was already unhappy with the heat production of the three large beams before the 2.1 upgrade: Any station near Azrael that has large multicannons?
