Smuggled 15M Cr worth of jobless chavs into several unsuspecting stations from Robigo. Theres a Galactic shortage of yoofs hanging around space chippies. Fashionable ambience requires authenticity. So I sourced mine from Wolfberg.

Had a great time winging with @Lanceor , @Jack_Dunhill and others last night in the Exioce CZ. That gave me enough credit buffer to upgrade to a Keelback from a T6 with more than enough cash left for many rebuys.

Just landed on Searle Port in Azrael, will be doing missions for the Order this evening to celebrate Mobius reaching 20k members. Then it's back to the war :)

Thanks. Still not quite rich enough that a large rebuy does not hurt...

The odd thing is that even with a pimped ship, the other Cutter could still out-turn, keep firing beams and plasmas, and have a shield strength that from experience I just cant match. Heck, even my old fully A rated Clipper does not perform like the ones I met in the CZ.
Would like to know where the NPCs get their tweaked distributers with the extra pips!

There was an NPC Annaconda on my side, and we got it down to no shields and 60% hull.
Then the second ram (I dodged the first one), and it took out 1.5 shield rings (@4pips) and my entire re-inforced and armoured hull in one swipe.

NPC's seem to pull off one in a million shots 9 times out of 10.

Actually made more trading for an hour or so than my entire available time every day since the war started, earning bonds.

Going to trade for a bit before returning to the CZ.


Hello,
Trade or bounty hunting is a whole lot more profitable per hour than running a CZ nowadays.
For me: 1 hr in a CZ about 600k. 1 hr trade 6mil, and I don't run the risk of loosing my ship so easily.

As for NPC cheating. It's not so much cheating as having much better reflexes, co-ordination, situational awareness and aiming. They seem to pip dance like crazy to get all that maneuvering, firing and shield strength just right. The only saving grace is that they are not allowed to target sub-systems. They are also not afraid to do a kamikaze run. My Cutter got taken down by an Anaconda with about 15%/10% hull left, when it rammed me.

Have fun, fly safe. o7

Part of me wants more paint for the cutter, but if we're being honest here, I'd probably never choose anything other than Black Friday anyhow.
