Still in 1st place - if you recall I started with 15M of bounties I had saved in anticipation of another Imperial Bounty hunt. If you take that away I wouldn't be in the top 5.

I'm in the top 5% with just under 16m.

If this one hadn't been in front of me I would have ignored it - I don't kill the little fish unless they bite :-D


Dang, I wish I had that naming idea ... I'd be CMDR Sidewinder :D

Pisciculus means little fish ... don't kill me pretty please, I swear I don't bite ... much :evil:


Back to topic: after a month of not playing E: D I returned. Hunting in a pitchblack RES. It's fun and the *TWONK!* sound every now and then reminds me to keep one eye on the radar :P

Trying to get used to the Python via RES farming. Kinda reminds me of an Asp's maneuverability, which I'm not really good at handling; I got spoiled by the Vulture. Kills Anacondas and other ships a lot faster though. Not to mention I can finally last longer because more hardpoints means less ammo consumption for every gun per enemy.

And yes, never knew how turning off flight assist can help at certain times.

Lasers only consume energy, with 2 large burst lasers my Vulture never runs out of ammo ... 2 on sys 4 on wep ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... BOOM ! :evil:

Support looked into the logs of my last Anaconda loss and could not find any reason why I should have died so they've refunded 21,472,110 credits back to my balance! :)

I need to get used to the Python as well. 3 Large Beams and 2 medium cannons mean that anything that gets in front of me is toast. Just got to improve on maneuverability and heat levels.

I haven't tried that one yet. I used to have a fixed beam laser and gimballed cannon on my Vulture (the latter being used against power plants of 'condas). Most of the time I'd run out of ammo when I need to turn in somewhere around 4-5m worth of bounties, or much earlier if I see 'condas frequently.

Yeah that. I'm still waiting for that HR 706 bounty to end just so I can collect the extra rewards, then I can upgrade. I'm kind of low on credits right now, not to mention I don't want to end up being bankrupt when my ship blows up. :lol:

I use 3 Gimballed class 3 Bursts and 2 Gimballed Multi cannons on my python- I rarely have to use the cannons - the bursts usually kill everything.

My python is now A rated across the board - even the KWS, the 4km range on the KWS means that usually i've scanned the target before I get in range of my weapons - mainly because I never open fire till my range to target is below 1km.
