First kill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Thread starter Granty
- Start date
Get yourself some autocannons and do a kill that way. It's just so visceral!

But dammit! I wish FD would lower the price of ammo!
If they were any lower for AC's there wouldn't be much point charging anything ... Rail & Cannon ammo on the other hand is ridiculously expensive ...
I've been involved in lotsa kills - but unfortunately as victim (flying with a mouse is NOT optimal when learning). Flying with a stick now but confidence lacking for out and out mayhem. I want a ship around me that can afford a learning curve with damage taken before I start.I know I know, it's just one lousy kill but it felt soooooooooooooooo good
Decided to stop trading and head to Freeport and hang out with the Asteroids fora while, the kill instantly reminded me of why I loved the game in the 80's

At the moment I seem to be getting my ammo free. If you click the Reload all button in Station Services it doesn't take any money. If you go to Munitions and do it that way it does. It's a bug, obviously. I'm sure it will be spotted and fixed by the 22nd. Shame!
It's taken me a week or so on the keyboard and mouse, suddenly realised tonight it's easier going after fellow sidewinders rather than Cobras
Yes, ammo is a tad costly...back in the early 21st Century, this was the missile of choice....

"Price/Unit Cost: In FY 2014, the unit cost of the AGM-114R Hellfire II Romeo is $102,300 (All-Up Round)."
How much is that in Credits?

Doesn't do it for me. I'm still paying 1 credit per shell. It's a right fun-killer is that price
I know what you mean - just tried out combat properly a few hours ago, used an Eagle with three auto cannons to fight with.
Did ok - killed four cobra's with them made 4,000 credits.
A real shame the ammo cost me (in all) nearly 8,000 credits!
Can't see bounty hunting paying at present.
Ouch. Stick some burst lasers on the wing slots mate. They take shields down quick and a little hull damage while the auto-cannon chews. It's how I have my eagle set up.
One thing to bear in mind is that it could get expensive if you go straight in with a decent load-out. I'd start with the stock sidewinder and pick on other sidewinders at extraction sites first off.
Thanks for the advice - I'll give it a go, hows the energy drain on that set up? I'm using a point defence turret as well to try and stop me getting one shotted by a missile, but this leaves me with no power reserves at all!
Have to be honest - I like the Eagle so far, I've tried a Viper and Sidewinder for combat but the Eagle is coming out on top for me.
Grats Commander!
Here goes the obvious answer.....depends on your Power Plant. Sorry told you it was obvious.
I have a C2 plant and yup I get the red triangle sometimes but if I use the lasers for the shields and the multi for the hull it works well. I have taken down Cobras and Asps. In fact I like hunting Asps as they usually have a big bounty
Sorry I'm not brave enough to take on Condas like I would in a Cobra. Never been a fan of the Viper, I have no idea why but it just did not do it for me. Been sticking with the Eagle for a while and will probably keep it till "Gamma" or whatever it is being called at the moment.
Give it a try the bursts are cheaper than the multis so you don't lose any credits swapping out.
And congrats to the OP on your first kill. Getting to five and making yourself an ace feels pretty good too.
