Lets test this persistent universe and see if FD are true to their word.

If I take a mission to retrieve military plans, and I encounter someone who offers me an alternative mission, is there any way to refuse? It looks like my original mission got deleted automatically and replaced by a new one, so I just abandoned it. *Edit* Ah, I see, it's just an alternative. Oops.

PS: Today the update occured at the same time as yesterday.

The influence update for the system I'm tinkering with didn't change today. :( It did tue and wed.
 
CSG want me to liberate two units of slaves. But they have to be legitimitely purchased, apparently stolen slaves aren't good enough to be liberated.

*Edit* Didn't the OP used to have information about where black markets are etc.?

elitetrading.co.uk

use this to find anything/everything. the stations that come up will show if they have black markets or not, and i think you can also search just for black markets specifically.

i think the closest black market to lugh is in LTT 4846, carey dock or something.

from my own knowledge though, cause i just got slaves earlier, is go to jiuyou, keyes refinery. its a 3 jump trip for me and i can go ~14ly at a time. i go arth -> UO-R B4-4(sp?) -> jiuyou.

does not having a discovery scanner reduce chances of finding USSs? im in crucis FW-W B1-7 and ive been sitting here at 30km/s for about 10 minutes with not a single USS spawn. i dont have a discovery scanner, so the system is "unknown," i dont even have the sun labelled.

*EDIT* finally got one, after i accelerated to full speed. sitting at 30km/s has never kept me from finding one before, am i just that unlucky?

No, it does not. Pupulation does, so 10 minutes till USS spawn happens.
May be cargo also does. Are you empty?
Try it with full cargo of some scrap, you can throw out for valuable findings.

Just doing a kill bounty hunters mission two jumps out from Lugh. Unexplored system. No nav beacon. Did about ten USS. Nothing. No kill warrant scanners on anyone. Got an updated contract but didn't accept. Nothing. Flying around the system for about an hour. Gah lost rep.
 
if anyone is looking for good RES killing grounds, go to Belarsuk. it's not even 15ly from Lugh. the 4th planet has RESs, and they're well-lit from being close to the star. i just made close to 200k in an hour. the system has one dodecahedron station and one outpost, the outpost is empire so you can turn in those bounties, and the main station is owned by gold coast, who you will get most of your bounties from (I had ~$135k just from them).

if you find yourself killing nothing but sidewinders, pop out and go to another of the RESs to look for cobras.

Hunting bounty hunters in empty systems is insanity hard.
The only way to find them is USS rolled with pirates and traders, and sometimes, very rare, one bounty hunter on viper or clipper will jump in a bit after you, scan you and instantly jump out if you are clean, without bother about flying around pirates)))
You may never roll it in 2-3 hours, so i suggest to never take this missions for CSG, because you need to be really lucky and have good reflexes to do it.
Hope Michael will read this and take into account :)

Good advice thanks.

Yeah there wasn't much on the bulletin board regarding combat (which I was in the mood for) and I'd never done one of these missions so I figured what the hell.

You live and learn huh?

Thanks again - appreciate it.

The sad spectacle.

Lacon T9 beating at the gate,
Like fish was caught in the net,
Like in Romeo and Juliet,
His future is predicted end...

Yesterday in a moment beeing inattetive while leaving knigh dock i flew into a type 9 beeing stuck (exact the same situation as shown in your picture) in the gate with my type 7. Result was beeing unable to move away in any direction, shields and and hull going down slowy, station starting to shoot the type 9 hitting me also as beeing infront of the type 9..both me and the type 9 got destroyed..at least i hope the 900k insurance got at the bank account of CSG for the good :)

Yes this bounty hunter missions are very frustating and i will never do them again as long as they are in this condition.
