Yet dropping into the Compromised Nav there are already 20+ ships milling about , and I get scan after scan after scan. Which means blown up NPC after blown up NPC. :twisted:

Guess I need to put more honey on the ship. :D


It sounds like you are dropping in WAY far away from the RES. I typically drop in at 10-15km from the marker, and usually have ships spawning pretty quickly after my arrival. I approach the RES at a 90* angle from the rings, and center my ship on the marker just like I do when approaching a station. I don't know why it's dropping you in so far from the action. :?

As far as making money, for me the Haz-RES, working solo is a good money maker and FUN! With a KWS on my Python it's not unusual to make $2.5-4mil per hour. With a decent spawn, I'm frequently getting FAS, dropships, clippers, pythons, and 'condas. Quite often I target one right after the other. The 'condas will pay out at $200-$375k each. :) You just have to be careful for wings, just like in the CNB's.

I've only worked in a CNB a couple of times, so they may be as profitable but the spawns that I've had in CNB's so far have too many smaller ships and the large ships aren't plentiful like in the Haz-RES.

As an aside. Got intradicted by Roger Wilco. Sorry Roger Wilco Jr, had to blow that guy away. Gave me some good credits. The funny people you meet in solo... Hmmm...


I handed 1.2Million and I got 3% towards Pioneer. But it appeared the next day

Thank you for the tip. I will let the Safe Disengage run a bit further. Normally I just wait for it to tick under the 1mn and then drop out of cruise. Not doing anything different than dropping into a station. But seems to drop me out quite a way.

Will have to get a KWS and replace the Chaff on my ship.

I've actually taken a break from the game. Seems like a good time, while folks help FD fix Horizons. Visiting old friends such as Sid Meyer's Civilization, kerabal Space Program, and on my IPAD2 a bit of hayday.

Just completed a Fehu run. My trade rank got 9% closer to Tycoon and made a little over $22mil. :)

I don't know how some guys are making $30-35mil on that run in an Asp. I am allied with all 4 factions in Fehu, trade rank entrepreneur, explorer rank ranger, and most of the missions that I pulled from the BB were for $1-1.4mil (with a few $800k missions sprinkled in). My Asp holds 88 tons and she was full when I left the station.

Oh well.... Fehu is a nice, and reasonably profitable, diversion from my normal game play. :D

BTW, I noticed that there is a Compromised Nav Beacon in Chapsugai (Fed space, Torval controlled) if anyone is based in the area.

Do you run armed or unarmed JohnLuke. Not done any "smuggling" missions for some time. Still lots of interdiction's?

I run fully armed, but only fight if the same pirate interdicts me multiple times. There are several pirates that would like to interdict you in each system. but with evasive flying you can well..... evade.... most of them. I made the 350ly run from Fehu to my first stop with only one interdiction. I had a total of probably 7-8 interdictions on the whole run.

The number of interdictions roughly depends on the number of missions you have. The more missions, the more interdictions.
