Hello guys I need some help I can currently using a Cobra Mk 3 I was doing pretty well on the pythons I am seeing on the Nav Beacons but today I am only getting the small ships like the sidewinder which are easy killings and then the Vipers which are tough to kill most of the time I get beaten up bad or died from them losing alot of my bounties the last set of bounties I gotten before I died the last time was around 50k I know pitiful I should be getting alot more than that but only small ships were showing on the Nav beacon today.
The reason I am asking for help is the Vipers they keep facing me with their weapons on me mostly beams to tear my shields appart I keep trying to manuver the cobra to the vipers tail but end up in failure I end up distancing the Viper and he manages to face me been using the thrusters to try to get behind him but not doing well. The larger ships like the ASP and Pythons are pretty easy to get behind.
I am getting better weapons and power plant to keep up the power but the rest like new armor cost to must and I can't get over 500k on bounties an hour. if I can get over than and maybe 1 million credits thats great unless I am doing bounty hunting in the wrong systems.
The one I am doing now is LP 98-132 one of the anarchy systems so I won't have to worry on getting an accidental bounty on my self by hitting a federation patrol ship the only probem I do run into when I get bounties I have to do long traveling to turn them in mostly the bounties for the empire the rest I don't have to travel far.
So what should I do find another system or do somthing else to get more credits or downgrade to a Viper and may not beable to turn the Empire bounties due to limit travel distance?
Can ya guys help me out?
