I've seen and heard of exploration setups in Asps, Haulers, Cobras and Condas..

Anyone have any views or load-outs for an exploration Python, or a bad idea?

Not much on any web-searches for them either. This may be a hint it is a bad idea, but I fancy a change!

So like many of my 'Space Friends' I am keen to make some space-monies in anticipation of all the cool stuff coming out. I currently have an iClipper but not sure how it is set up. Is it suitable for the Robigo run? Can anyone suggest a fitting for said run?

What's a good high tech system with a nearby RES so I can kit out a Vulture without being miserable jumping halfway across the Galaxy?

Since Arexe seems to have much fewer kill pirates missions, I'm gonna just hang in RESs and bounty hunt.

I'm also thinking of swapping my Courier back to regular shields instead of BiWeave. The recharge speed really isn't a big enough jump to offset the lower overall strength.

Xihe has good HazREZ on the doorstep of the station

When I started i got a hauler and outfitted it for mining and headed into Frey. Had a Cobra within a few hours that was well fitted. That was back when mining was far more tedious than it is now.

Does this work for the chemical Distilleries also? Normally from Combat Aftermath sites.

when is 2.2 dropping anyways? I can't find anything about a release date anywhere (except for "summer 2016" - whoops!)

Just before Star Citizen 1.0. ( I don't take that lame rear end 'Alpha 2.0' bollocks seriously)

Is there some trick into gettig skimmers to spawn at an outpost. Stacked some missions last night at 2 outposts. First one was fine, when I approached skimmers spawned, none at the second despite reapproaching a few times and shooting some turrets.

Well yes, I had landed on both occaisons and was zipping around in my SRV. They spawned at the first outpost when I approached.

The second outpost nothing, only defense guns. poo poo a bunch of those and still nothing. Logged out and back in and no change.

The skimmers at Nobel's Inheritance only spawn if you trespass in your ship.

It took me awhile to figure this out crying in my srv.

Awesome info. Thanks

So how does the 17 Draconis thing work with the bounties you accrue? How do you dock back up at the station to turn in?

Also is there only 1 faction massacre missions to pick up or will any do?

You kill yourself. You respawn docked and, all hostile statuses degrade to unfriendly and all bounties become dormant.

Any massacre mission (or skimmer kill mission) from any faction that targets the owner of the ground station will do.

Ah ok, so use something small and disposabke then like a viper?

No he's definitely doing something wrong, you should not be getting a bounty at all.

To prevent all the nerdgasms going on, I haven't actually done this yet but I saw a video feed of someone doing it and they were picking up numerous bounties, either from damaging the structures and also hitting the ship landed at the site. So it was a curiousity on how my fellow goons were overcoming that particular issue.

Doesn't an "economy" need more than one person?

There is no economy in this game, only personal wealth. There are no exchanges between persons (of any meaningful nature within the game mechanics) to satisfy wants and needs and there is no supply restriction beyond some random arbitrary stock numbers that dont seem to behave rationally.

Ran the sample game with some mayes last week. It isn't bad but there are still a lot of holes to be filled.

The ship combat is interesting, looking forward to see what can be done with other modules and loadouts.

So I am just returning, haven't dabbled since 2.2. Are there any decent money making holes at present that can accomodate a limited playtime?

Have a conda fitted for passenger missions at present and I am based at Rhea. New CG's lucrative?
