Pirate huntee mission advice

[starman]

During a pirate hunt missions suffered completer destruction on 2 occasion by a heavily armed srop ship. Current have asp with a rate module and gimbals. Any suggestions?

Asp is not a great combat ship. Also should be posting in the game forum, not off-topic.

it caries 4 gimbal multi and a long range jump . abs 32 cargo It can handle upto cobra .

provide wing support

this drop ship and missles.

put a point defence . Gave a slive of cover when running a away. It was a optional target best avoided...

You need better outfitting. Jump range means nothing in combat. Lol

Fit a mix of pulse lasers and multicannons, largest A rated shield you can fit, a few shield boosters, and you'll be good to go mostly.

But the Asp isn't a great combat ship.

You'll get more help in the main forum BTW.

So how do u get a about a and fight. U need to get a local ship for combat missions then switch to another ship for travel?

I've taken my Corvette to Maia. My Vulture jumps 23LY, my FAS 24. When I went exploring for months before engineers my Asp jumped 23.

I generally just fly ships with good combat and travel abilities.

Which is basically my Anaconda. Lol

I do suggest owning more than 1 ship though, atleast until you have a Python.
Have a good mission runner, like your Asp, and a good combat ship for the tougher missions.

Word of warning regarding the Python;
Don't take an under equipped Python in to combat. They're death traps. But a well equipped one is virtually indestructible. Lol

The data transport mission had this 'bonus' were a heavily armed drop ship is sent after you . reward for was 60000cr cost me 4mill cr in lost ships


I don't think ill get to to anaconda so have to manage with lesser ships. Also the Eagle was supposed to be a specialist bounty hunter ship but is actually useless and fragile. in practice. There is a a balance issue now I recon with all these engineered npcs. Most anaconda player dopnt what to engage in combat incase the aAni gets there pain scratched. Qa A aSP eXPLORER with is quite goog value and effectiveness.


I wonder how wing missions will work out since since fidinf people to play wwith is always an issue.

I am know being chased by ship because I failed to complete the contract so i was destroyed which meant I was unable to complete contract whiuch means ships are sents
