Heroic Sidewinder Combat

It's embarassing. I try to make a criminal career in a vanilla sidewinder and I get busted by security ... a lot.

I failed to kill a single NPC until now. Given, I am not the best combat pilot, but now I really feel disgraced. Never the less I'll go on trying. I could just use some motivational encouragement that it is even possible to get a good bounty and some notority by vanilla Sidewinder PvE combat. I guess it doesnt help that my combat rank is deadly, I guess NPC's are scaling to it.

Since the Sidewinder now has room for about 1500 hull and the extra fuel tanks needed to make plasma slug viable, you should be mowing down NPCs by the mass grave full.

Yeah thanks, I am resorting to interdict the easiest of easy targets and now I make some progress. I am the bane of lone Hauler NPC pilots in medium security systems ... 😆

Just wait for it :D

Seriously I think I remember some story about a Cyclops solo kill in a Sidewinder. Not sure if myth or truth though...

Frags are nice, don't get me tempted to equip some. I am doing classic MC outfit right now, it's the only kind of weapon I can manage whilst practicing FA-off flight.

Slowly I get the hang of being a Sidewinder Criminal. Response time of system security in low to medium-sec systems is about right to give me a chance to kill some low-threat targets, but it's still thrilling enough. Nearly got T9 down in an asteroid belt, I had it down to 50% hull, when security arrived. Then I had to bail out. Lovely!

Also I skipped the Sidy when I started and chose the trading Hauler route back in the days. Seems I missed a neat littel ship.
