Is there anything better than Hazardous RES?

Apparently the forum doesn't like the word

It's the closest HAZ to the Founders world.

Yep! Duamta has a station called W a n g City - nice place to hang out, I hear!...FD you put it in the game, not me!

You are pledged to one of the two bounty hunter bonus PP s right? That's an easy way to boost your earnings.

A wing of CMDRs can keep a good instance alive. Teamwork.

The moment you wing up for a Haz RES is the moment it becomes Eagle and Sidewinder territory. I've never seen those huge fleets of large pirate ships in open play. I always see them the moment I switch to solo.

Not sure about wings but in open I literally only found an anaconda once or twice

Elite eagles and sidewinders still count as Elite opponents as far as combat ranking is concerned. So if anyone is after rank rather than cash, these are the spawns to look for

My latest delight is distress calls that turn out to be my own private war. Most calls are fuel begs but sometimes it's ongoing piracy and the enemy ships start small and just keep coming as they progressively get bigger. I must have whacked 15 or 20 in one area tonight before an Anaconda turned up with a Vulture and got my shields down. I was in a trading ship with full cargo so I had to run but it was fun whilst it lasted.

Annoying that you have to go instance shopping ... still. The reason we endure the tedious skill-less trading is so that we can buy a ship with overpriced modules and then get our teeth stuck into some 'gameplay'. Eagle and sidewinder enemies are not fun. Instance shopping is not fun. Need 'ImpossibleRES' or something where pilots with A rated FASes and FDL's can go for some serious killlin. Also FD please increase spawn rates when there are more CMDRs - at the moment if I see another human I fly off to anther RES where I don't lose 50% of my bounty in exchange for help that I don't need.

I'm trying to save money to buy an anaconda or federal corvette but the hazardous RES sites are pretty bad and it's taking too much time to make decent money, most of the time I only see eagles and if I'm lucky 1 anaconda every 10 minutes. In high RES zones sometimes I get better results.

In both I usually make maximum 5mill an hour and an average of 3 million per hour, so is there anywhere better where more anacondas and FDLs spawn?

Compromised beacons are best in my opinion as they are more frantic. Haz Res sites are prettier.

Or you take your underpowered ship into a haz rez and see how long you survive.
Separates the men from the boys.

(at least in PvE)
