Free FAS for bottom 10

One already has the Bally thing, what what

It is not about the prize, it about the prestige.

Toodly pipsky

It doesn’t even take skill, per se, to be in the top 10. All it takes is just lots and lots of play time. I’ve been playing about an hour or so per day and I’m firmly in the top 10%. If I would have played 10x as much I’d have 10x the bounties, simple as that. There’s no real challenge to it, so I don’t see the motivation.

I never meant to imply any right/wrong dichotomy, didn't even occur to me anyone would see it that way, but I can see I touched a nerve. Wasn't my intention. o7
Nor did I mean to imply you had, but I do see that kind of thinking in many posts here. Thanks for the civil conversation. o7.

it takes something else. i just looked at the bracket (to realize my 10% is clearly at risk :D): it's between 800mill and 1,5billion.

without pp bonuses that is at least 10k kills. in 5-6 days. let that sink in.

this is beyond "free time". there are at last 10 people here who either use bots/exploits or need professional help.

Oh crap, this thread could devolve into a botting argument - now you've gone and done it mate! ;)
 
To be honest, I had a good chuckle at that reward myself. While I see the nice idea behind it, I doubt anyone who can compete within the Top 10 bounty hunters really needs (let alone wants) a FAS anyway
Exactly. I bet virtually all of them have ships they feel are much better than a FAS at bounty hunting.
I have tried a FAS, I could buy a several dozen of them without financial strain, buy I very much prefer my FDL. I don't need a free FAS.

They should organize something like this for noobs only. It would be a wonderful boost for them I suspect, although they could easily earn one for themselves in a few days time.

Or they are in lockdown or furlough and have found a way to fill their time as ripping the head of it got too boring and repetitive :)

Maybe they just ran out of shaving foam for that superior experience ;)

Let's face it, no-one is doing it for the FAS, that's just a thematically appropriate cherry. It'll probably be a 'free' Clipper next week when the Imps are running security.

I like the FAS gift if only as a bit of flavour for the CG galnet article that will surely follow

honest, the numbers are just shocking. maybe i forgot to factor in multi-crew and its christian miracle of multiplication of fish and bounty? that would maybe divide everything by 4? no idea. i really hope there is an exploit and they're all botters and cheaters. i would be fine with that. any other explanation is just too sad.

I wish it had been a Special FAS, the numbers woulda been through the roof.

full disclosure, for me it's just extra money on the side (yes, i'm saving for a carrier 😇). getting to 10% was trivial with a proper medium ship and information, a few hours of solid and entertaining gameplay. it will probably not hold but i already moved on and i'm more than happy with a 25% or even 50%. anything else would have its reward in its own impossible hilarity.
 
An exclusive, never to be repeated, FAS mk II. Slower and fatter than the original but infinitely saltier than the Cobra IV
I hoped they'd maybe learned their lesson from the Mk IV, I was never a Cobra fan I actually worked my way to a FAS originally way back when when it was a feasible ship with great maneuverability a great hull but crap shields and jump range.

I have a Mk IV and have honestly never flown it.

I meant something special, Right and Proper.

10 Cobra IV’s.

Have a problem with your exclusive ownership being threatened!? Better monopolize the top 10 to keep those dirty post Horizons players in their lesser place!

You might be on to something.

Here's is a short pier, would you like to take a long walk?

wait, it's not a regular fas, "just free"? ok, that would explain a lot. i mean, it would still be sick, but i would even sell my children to mining carrier slavers for an exclusive fas! why the arxe did youtube not inform me?!?!!
 
Reasonable OP point but if the bottom 10 get an FAS what do the top 10 get?
Another 5 billion credits? A free fleet carrier? Oh wait, they already have both.

Now if the Devs would offer FE2 gear as in a cloaking device...
