Excuse me, this is the Robigo Appreciation Thread

Fix the stacking missions exploit and Robigo smuggling would be ok still overpaid but better

Saying that they should fix the stacking missions exploit is like say that they should fix the refueling exploit. Pilots can refuel and then later after they've used some fuel, then can dock at a station and refuel again with having to wait for scooping. That's an exploit. It's unfair that I have to spend so much time scooping and those guys just buy their fuel.
.
The game was designed to be able to stack missions, even if you don't wait 15 min for the bulletin board to get refreshed. If some pilots don't like stacking missions, then it sucks to be them. I, along with everyone else, will continue to use this valid game mechanic and get rich.

I think it's great fun. Currently I'm being extra naughty by selling the slaves before I leave Robigo, so I can get back to the bubble quicker. Then buy slaves locally and sell them:)

Mode switching was obviously not an intended game mechanic.
And yes do use it. Its upto FD to remove the exploit. Until then they seem happy to let people use it.

Yeah mode switching to stack even more missions is a bit odd. Solo should have exactly the same missions as open. However waiting for the board to refresh and then bagging more is perfectly fine IMO. If you were a RL courier you could do this down at the local postal office so why not on ED except for people who complain about balance. The fact that stacking also stacks the danger makes doing the job harder so is fine by me.

I don't do mode switching and find that there are enough missions to stack on the board for me in any case. I wouldn't want to stack any more than about 10.

Thank you for the Cutter and the Corvette you gave me, Robigo. I love you! <3

Also question. While the normal Robigo runs are very profitable, i have heard of a way to make faster money by selling slaves back to Robigos station. Is this considered an exploit?
 
Well with my AspX build I do away with all that scooping malarkey lets me haul 64 tons which is more than enough.
You stack too many and you start getting guests at the outposts

But now look at the improve in range/Speed when you clean the bits of your build. You simply don't need anything else.....

My tip:

A lot of people complain about tailing cops dropping out the instant they get to a station.

NPC cops who plan on interdicting you will drop in on your low wake the next time you drop.

So, to kill them without incurring the stations wrath, if you think you're being tailed, drop out of SC BEFORE you reach the station: kill any pursuers, and continue on unmolested
 
Yep, the Robigo Smuggling run is great fun .. I recently did a video of a complete run (without mode switching or any other shenanigans) FORUM LINK HERE (the video is a bit long as its real time).. it's a blast .. everyone should try the run once.
 
High risk?
"Oh no wasted 5 hours stacking missions and get scanned by cheating NPC! Hate you devs!" Soooo risky!

The guy just lost five hours of his time, all went down the drain. What else do you want, an electro shock to fry him in a chair?

Please, PLEASE, why do you hate a lot of people having fun?! No one is forcing you to do it. Why the need to come here and stomp your feet and fume?

It's the risk of Shadow deliverys ..the risk has to be there otherwise it's free credits ... i Have lost millions (well not lost, just not gained) in failed missions ... that's the risk.. that's the fun.
