Best High-Haz RES Bounty Hunting ship?
- Thread starter bfgm
- Start date
Combat-Anaconda.
Just pulse farming for credits:
1. Corvette
2. Conda
3. Python
4. Vulture (greatest cost/benefit if you're just trying to make credits)
For really fun flying, good returns, and eventual confidence against potential CMDR engagements:
1. FAS
2. FDL (I go back and forth on the 1 or 2 with these)
For fun flying and not so great returns comparatively:
1. Courier
2. DBS
For ramming in style and terrible returns:
1. Orca
1. Corvette
2. Conda
3. Python
4. Vulture (greatest cost/benefit if you're just trying to make credits)

For me, the FAS and the Python have been my go-to RES kings. FAS has 1x large beam laser and 3x PAs; Python has 2x large beam lasers, 2x multi-cannons, and 1x large PA.
You can make the ammunition last a surprisingly long time if you play your cards right. I've gone 2 hours straight in a High RES without needing to reload, and only went back to the station to cash in my bounties and take a bathroom break.

I take my corvette, moves well, hits hard.
No love for the Battle Sidewinder? In a high-res you have the element of surprise when you come swooping in to finish off a kill that the security forces are engaged with. No one expects the Battle Sidewinder. Pew Pew! Seriously though I look forward to one day trying the Conda in there when I can afford to equip her.
"Our main weapon is the beam laser... the beam laser and the multi-cannon. Our two main weapons are the beam laser and the multi-cannon... and the missile launcher. Among our weapons are..."
Corvette with 3 C3 beams and C2, C1 gimballed multicannons, can knock down NPC Condas in a pinch, just have to deal with its slow intercept speed. B7 shields and 2 E7 SCBs with a buttload of shield boosters keeps it in the fight until you need to resupply.

Took my Battlewinder to Haz RES before, it did quite well but took a while to kill a Gunship but in the end I made about 400k so it was worth it.
Federal Corvette is my choice for Haz RES (as it is my current ship), pretty good at taking down larger ships but suffers when it comes to smaller ships.
My Corvette build for the curious.
