Was that before or after Ascendancy and PP 2.0? Because I just get insta-attacked wherever I go with these illegal passengers. I never experienced this before.

On my 3rd visit to interstellar factors I got scanned, shot-at, and bounty. I had to abandon the missions.

It was after, but I didn't go anywhere with them I would be scanned--just the tourist beacon and straight back to Robigo Mines. And I pull from the mines, not from Hauser's. And I wasn't pledged to a power at the time. And I'm allied with all the relevant minor factions

Sorry for the minor necro.

I just visited Robigo for old time fun. I'm close to my 50,000 passenger mark.

Well...
  • There aren't enough passenger missions to half fill my python.
  • Upon returning I get scanned at Robigo and shot at. I get a 200 Cr bounty I can't clear with the local admin. Interstallar factors required.
  • I tried this 3 times. I never got to complete any missions.

Ya, I'm carrying illegal passengers. I guess C&P changed because I have never ever been scanned and shot at Robigo Mines.

I supposed I could modify my ship and be more stealthy. But its not worth 34 passengers and a couple million credits in missions. Waste of time.

I also heard the Robigo is no longer offering Exquisite Focus crystals or Biotech conductors or at least at a greatly reduced number. can you confirm this?

I can confirm. They still offer them occasionally, but blended with other grade 5 encoded/manufactured and grade 4 raw rewards. There is variety now. and the numbers are still no more than 5 mats for a single mission, while missions in the bubble can yield up to 12.

Ah, Robison … the time I filled the python with crystalline gold - swapping out the fuel scoop, shields, everything non essential for cargo space. For some reason I could buy 200+ tons of the stuff.
The trip back to the bubble was a bit careful for fuel stops and possible pirates!

For many years ive been trading out Biotech Conductors, Exquisite Focus Crystals along with Modified Embedded Firmware for those hard to get G5 Manufactured and Encoded’s, safe in the knowledge that heading over to Robby Mines will net me tons of them from ferrying dubious passengers to Sirius Atmospherics.

Nearly 9000 missions and 90000 Tourists safely delivered (well except for those 9 Federal dignitaries we ejected and 20ish passengers lost to the infamous CEOS 1 cockpit dog incident).

So now the Python ‘Gothica Star Tours’ will forever be on permanent display in Hausers Reach, where generation after generation of school children aspiring to obtain a pilots federation permit can point and laugh at how thousands of passengers were conned out of their hard earned credits into sight seeing in a ship with no windows.

Now in 3310 it has become all too easy to trade out other materials and create loops such as the ‘Meenatsu loop of the plenty’.
This simple task involves jumping into HGEs in Meenerati for CDCs then jumping over to Kwatsu’s HGEs for Imperial shielding, trading out at Fossum Ring in that system and repeating until the material gods have done their magic.

It’s a new dawn Commanders

Came here looking for why I wasn't finding Biotech/Exquisite Focus Crystals.

"Meenatsu" is working OK but Meenerati has a rather bothersome 20k ls supercruise involved. There's a number of other systems within easy distance with more ideal qualifications for CDCs and no long-distance bodies/inhabitations drawing out the time you spend getting to the HGEs (e.g. Ethen & HIP 41984, but not HIP 45096 or Wang Walli), consult this list looking for low-ls bodies/stations & Federation in none/election state with no Imperial factions present to clutter the HGE pool. https://inara.cz/elite/nearest-starsystems/?formbrief=1&ps1=Kwatsu&pi3=3&pi4=0&pi5=0&pi7=0&pi1=0&pi23=0&pi6=0&pa2[]=0&pa2[]=4&pi26=1&ps3=&pi24=0.

My farewell to Robigo was ~8 years ago, when they killed maybe the best gaming I had in Elite: Robigo drugs/slaves smuggling.

Shieldless Cobra III, crazy runs to those micro-bubbles of destination worlds on the rim of the bubble. Docking full speed.

I used to do that... with a Beluga.

I got really, really good at lining up the slot while in SC and then I'd drop out, full-throttle, frantically request docking and then boost through the slot before I got scanned.

Fun times. (y)
