nav beacons never have wanted people anymore with 1.1?

joshtb86 · Feb 10, 2015

anyone notice much fewer wanted peeps at the nav beacons since version 1.1 came oiut? ive been to like 5, still havent found a single wanted ship there.

Haven't been to a nav beacon yet, but extraction sites still have plenty of wanteds

Cmdr Andy B · Feb 10, 2015

just been to one and still had wanted ships dropping in, to me it seamed like there weren't as many as before but i could be wrong.

It's a slower process, but wanted ships do drop in.

joshtb86 · Feb 11, 2015

i feel like ive barely seen any wanted ships at all. all the unidentified are a bunch of clean ships flying around, or 1 ship. nav beacons have had none on arrival. what about other people. anyone else have any input?

Bertak · Feb 11, 2015

Much slower but they are dropping in. A ton of clean ships though.

One step closer to Euro Truck .... IN SPACE!

*sigh*

I'm hoping its just a perception thing.

Nice way to drive more players looking for pew pew to griefing.....

yeah this is getting really annoying. im not even getting any assassination missios or "kill pirates" either anywhere

ollobrains · Feb 11, 2015

still finding plenty in USS sites. Add some assasination missions and its still all good

I thought I was just having bad luck today, I make around 100k credits when normally i'd make 300k, super slow all day.

I must be getting lucky then. The nav beacon at 23 Andromedae always has wanted ships, and a surprising number of them are Pythons, and Anachondas. I must have raked in close to 100k today

Yea thats not alot. If they were wanted pythons and anacondas thats 1-2 kills.

Really? I did a load of USS sites last night and it was about a 75% to 25% ratio of clean pilots and funeral ships to pirates.

I don't understand why FD seem to object to any form of money making in the game. If anything is profitable enough to generate the sort of funds necessary to afford any of the bigger ships in less than a year of playing it swiftly gets nerfed so that it's next to worthless.

Did an anarchy nav last night. Lots of wanted inc anaconda. Only trouble having rares on board made me the target to multiple ships at once. Never really affected me before. Try taking anaconda with a couple of eagles on you as well. Had to fsd out. Shields dont seem to be holding up as well in 1.1 but not used to having to deal with multiple ships in asp so probably just me.

Maybe it is perception like Phier suggested. I found hunt pirate missions in each BB I checked today, and found that the pirates in USS's were piloting Asp's instead of Sidewinders and Cobras. They had about 20k bounties on them, which in the long run isn't really great but it was different. There didn't feel like any change in frequency of finding traders, smugglers, pirates etc. I've had awful runs in the past popping into 5 trader USS's in a row before. I haven't specifically gone bounty hunting today though so I never swung by any Nav Beacons or RES.

Off topic but if you haven't tried out conflict zones they are quite profitable now, if you specifically target all the big ships. Taking out Pythons and Anacondas with all your faction help is pretty easy, and the fast pace is fun. It can be a fun way to earn money in combat if you want something a bit different.

CMDR Kiyoshii · Feb 11, 2015

Was a normal hunting session for me yesterday. There was a period where I was flying around the nav beacon for a bit, but that happened from time to time before 1.1 anyway. After that there was a relatively steady stream of them coming in.

Cenon · Feb 11, 2015

Is there any published bounty chart to different ship types in Conflict zones?

CMDR Solveig · Feb 11, 2015

I saw one before but from my memory:

Imperial Fighter - 1k
Eagle - 2k
Cobra - 4k
Viper - 5k
Asp - 8k
Imperial Clipper - 11k
Python - 14k
Anaconda - 18k

Where did you find conflict zones?
