Haz RES vs High RES
- Thread starter Zallibik
- Start date
Recently I seem to get higher rated enemies in general in high res sites, but get more enemies overall and obviously no authorities flying into me in haz res. The last few times I've been bounty hunting it's been about even in both. I'd also say that at a good compromised nav beacon spawn I probably bag more than in either type of res site, although that's a gut feeling, I don't have hard numbers to back it up.
High res enemies are the same level as haz res enemies in my opinion, but you don't have the authorities there to help you out in Haz Res.
Also means there are less "clean" npc's to run into you while scanning in a haz res...

I Hi Rez when I'm playing + boozing (a lot safer on the wallet just in case) and Haz Rez when I'm compos mentis, it's far more fun, just have to pick the targets at the right time if they are in a wing, or else its the Sir Robin manoeuvre.

What i dont get lately, maybe this has always been happening and only now am i noticing it..is that pirates of the same faction now kill one another yet when i do...im reducing my rep with them.
I would have thought that the same faction pirates would work together rather than just slaughter one another. Not that they collect anything from anyone ...they just kill...anyone that carries anything.
So basically, Piracy is not part of this game...although you can pretend to be pirating when u take goods, but with all the scans going on and now regularly at outposts...Pirating if it did exist...is DEAD

What I love about Haz RES is that they generate situations that can only be compared to a feeding frenzy.
Very often combat is going on everywhere. Not just between miners and pirates but also between pirate factions themselves.
I have been part what can only be described as pirate wars.
If you select your targets carefully you can take out complete wings without them even noticing that you are having a bite too.
If you make wrong choices you can become the target of wings of powerful ships like Anaconda's with Pythons, or wings of fast Clippers etc. and you will have to retreat to safety very quickly.
Hazres are very exciting and enjoyable combat environments.

PM me for the best Haz Res possibly in the game. It's in fed space though.
The best part is the station it's close to, has everything I've ever needed. It even has A8 stuff.

Indeed, this is why I play Elite: Dangerous! [heart]
Why the secrecy,share share 
That's a very good question. I keep switching from one to the other. The instances keep changing, so if I get a run of bad instances at the Haz RES, I switch to the HI RES, or the other way round. At times at the HI RES, I've had very high earnings rates, when there were lots of bad guys and even more Feds doing half the work for me. It makes dealing with wings of bad guys easier too. Sometimes, at the HI RES, there's no Feds, so it's just like the Haz RES.
Haz RES has one key advantage: If you accidentally tag an innocent ship to become wanted, nobody cares. You can stay there without any risk. After the 8 minutes has expired, you can log out and in again to remove your wanted status so that you can go back to the station to claim your bounties rather than jump to another system and back again. If you're unlucky enough to get a murder bounty, you can still stay at the Haz RES without risk, but the Feds will get you at the station unless you use stealth tactics or boost in and out, or you can claim your bounties at any outpost if there's one in that system.
