Bounties in RES, way too easy

Ive just logged in for the first time in ages.

I'm in an Eagle with three pulse lasers and a KWS, nothing else.

First I attacked a dropship that the police had been attacking and got down to around 60% hull , I fly up and hammer my pulse lasers into him and pop - 36K just like that.

I then attack a Cobra who is under fire from the police, had about 30% hull, after literally 4-5 seconds of firing I get a 42K bounty.

I then kill a sidewinder in the same fashion for approx 14K .

I kid you not, I was online for no longer than 7 mins, I logged off in disgust after killing the sidey.

There is no challenge whatsoever, it is just shooting fish in a barrel, I made 90K without even taking a scratch.

I thought this game was supposed to be challenging...

They had made trading too easy.......people were playing while watching TV and reading books, using off line tools and game exploits to get rich.............and yet THEY were getting the best ships and most credits....
.
So they buffed the other careers.....

I buy Slawes
I fly back

I was gutted when I saw the bounty pop up for popping the dropship, I hardly did anything.

This is stupidly easy.

I made 3,5 Millions in a couple of hours I'd say.
Nothing wrong with the bounties amount IMHO, but I feel the Ai a little too dumb here. I mean, those "wanted" ships were doing nothing there, nothing barely interesting *for them*. It looked like all of them are into suicidal missions.

Really?
I can log in right now where my Clipper is, buy Resonators, jump 1 system, sell them, buy gold, jump back.
Bam, 210-240k in 9 minutes.

I know it's an unfair comparison, 22mill ship vs <1 mill, but still.
Not much thought in that.

At least you have to travel and risk being interdicted, there is at least some danger in it.

Honestly, I have hardly played the game, I havent done much of anything yet, the Eagle was free.

and it consistently seems that only certain commodoties are possible to buy low sell high. Palladium, gold, resonating whatever...

I'll say it again, you looked for the easiest targets and are complaining about easy profits.

Go fight a ship by yourself, without the feds helping and with full Shields/Hull. Im sure you can find plenty of them in a RES but you choose to pick the dying targets.
