Res extraction sites

Postby evovi » Tue Dec 22, 2015 9:27 pm

Having loadsa fun in extraction sites! Much better than dropping out of SC Into USS pirate hunting - have noticed more so in the high res leaving and rejoining makes different ship types spawn - can get em with biggest ship usually being an asp, twice I've tried to take on anacondas but whilst dodging asteroids it can be difficult maintaining position to finish em off - and boy, the higher ranked anacondas take some pounding to get through shields - best I've had before I had to take precautions was 28% hull - police don't tend to intervene unless they have killed someone first - all in all I'm finding pythons to be the ones to avoid full stop, their added mobility and kick ass weapons - my vipers shields are popped quick time, then - I can't get far enough away, had a few flappy ass close calls !!

All part of learning and enjoying - confidence is growing quickly!

How do wings work for bounty splitting ? Be nice to have a partner in crime to experience some of the other scenarios I can't do solo

Wings split the bounty evenly (I think this is between members who hit the target, at least that's how it works on combat bonds), but two ships can plough through pirates much quicker than one.

I am most definitely up for some BH RES hunting wing action! :)

We're in-game friends, so just hit me up anytime that you want to wing and do some pew pew.

And... Feldspar is correct... the bounty is split among the wingmen who attack the target.

If you see them, and you can take them down, go for FDLs, I've so far never seen an FDL with less than a 200K bounty.

I'm often to be found in a RES within a system or two of Azrael, feel free to tap me up if you are in the area.

If you are in a smaller ship you can just patrol with the police and wait for them to initiate an attack.
Then you can join in on the action without drawing too much heat.

this technique will allow you to get some very decent bounties on formidable enemy ships.

I RES farm in HIP 20277 - 3 jumps from AZRAEL.

2 haz sites 6ls from a good station with some good outfitting.

I am there a few evenings (baby permitting) so add me when you see me and we'll wing up.

If you want to survive out here, you've got to know where your towel is.

Thanks for reminding me about HIP 20277, Rob. :)

I haven't been there in a while.

I stopped by today, and man.... am I glad I did! Great spawns! :D :D :D

I hit up the Haz-RES just in from the drop point (about 2,200ls from Fabian City), and it was a nearly constant flow of clippers, pythons, Fed scum ships, and condas. :evil:

I worked the RES for about 90 minutes (solo), only used up one SCB, and took home $8.116m. :shock:

BTW, the heat damage from a 6A SCB that was fired 4 times only cost $16,800 to repair. I did not use any heat sinks. You just have to learn not to cringe when you hear all of the cracking and see smoke. :o

I will probably be around the RES on Sunday if anyone wants to wing up! 8-)

Suggest you don't go hunting in a system with a Favoured Faction in residence. Currently the faction that loses most seems to gain the greatest benefit. Even if you avoid all your FF ships, your faction will lose influence.
