I'm curious to know how this works, 150 million in 6 hours is 25 million an hour, given that an anaconda kill in a CZ is worth 18,000, by my calculation that's 1388.9 anacondas an hour or 23 a minute, so 2.6 seconds per kill.

Is there some sort of bonus system I'm not aware of?


Rewards are

Anaconda: 75k(sometimes 72k for me)
Python: 50k
(some ships I don't know right now ): 40k- 36k - 20k(something like that)
Eagle: 8k
Sidy: 4k
one other small weird ship: 4k

Now the thing is that there are so many no shield low armor bad weapon pythons that jump in for the enemy team at my place (OTO)


Ah, now that sounds more like a RES (asteroid belt around a planet with miners and pirates), rather than a CZ (space battle between two opposing sides where you need to choose a faction first).

CZs have a fixed value for each ship, but generally higher ranked ships, so good for combat rating, not so good for money. RES have a variety of ships of different ranks and different values.

That said, that's an impressively high spawn rate for a RES?

They are for conflict zones.

RES's do not spawn anacondas anymore, and pythons range from 50-200k in a res kw scan often needed.
Clippers about 50-150, same for dropships.

Cz's have less actuall value on the combat bonds, but you will have no down time looking for targets and certainly don't need to spend an hour resetting hoping for a good spawn.

i just tried a CZ. money is decent but i'm missing tons of empire bonus credits for bounties i get in RES spawns. but yea - it's more fun than looking for a good RES spawn.

Well they've certainly improved CZs since the last time I was in one, the pay out used to be terrible and they were only worth it for the rank.

Yea think they got a little boost with 1.3, but it also seem the fed cops in CZ's take a bit more effort to kill than wanteds in a RES.

Its just that RES hunting is so completely up to luck, I absolutely hate spending time doing nothing, if I wanted to do that I could go play eve-online, hence why I'm trading mainly at this moment.

While nipping my morning Joe. I was toying around with Coriolis and thinking of how an expiration conda might look like.

http://coriolis.io/outfit/anaconda/04A7 ... on%20conda

Even put an extra gas tank in there and added a fuel transfer, should still get me 30ly jump range and almost 400ly total range between fuel stops.

And I am only 150ish mil away from being able to afford one...

If you want fuel only for your ship and you have an extra tank (or two) so you still need to get fuel limpets?
How much fuel each one transfers?

I havent used fuel transfers yet., but I figured they where used to take fuel out of my tank and transfering to target CMDR.
Figured it couldn't hurt, maybe I run into an unfortunate hauler somewhere ?

If they work anything like mining limpets, then yes, you would need those expandable limpets that go in regular cargo (horrible horrible mechanic)

Just a quick question - can you still buy the anaconda at diaguandri for a -15% discount? It's a 20mil save that i won't pass on so easily :)

I can almost guarantee it. I was down there yesterday getting some modules for my Python at discount. It's certainly worth the trip!
