NPC Crew harmless to elite - lazy mode

i lost my dangerous pilot yesterday as i was afk and didnt pay attention to the game --> ded

leveling up NPC crew can be a bit of pain so i decided to try another approach.

i hired a harmless NPC and went to a low CZ and gave her my anaconda.
Outfitting is g5 max biweave all res boosters and 2 guardian shield booster, 2x small rail, 2 x medium rail all long range plasma slug, 4x fixed pulse efficient and oversized.
and also 2x 64 ton fuel tanks on top of the 32 one

i go in cz then fly like 4 km away from the center, then i go into my SLF and shut down all modules but sensors to not draw attention at me - sitting at 12% heat all the time. you need to get lucky with the instance a bit so that you have a bulk of friendly ships and join ur NPC anaconda pilot -fire at will- so she can kill without being surrounded by to many fighters at once.

fuel last for like 6 hours and she leveled up from harmless to dangerous 50% in about 10 hours.

she will reach elite today - and im gonna take a bath in that time

How do you NOT run out of ammo though?

Or are the 4 fixed pulse weapons good enough to take on most NPC's?

EDIT:

Never mind.. plasma slugs... got it.. carry on.

Thought that was what most people did. I used an Engineered corvette for my main crew member, just left them to it. Or head to a nav beacon.

Just make sure it is heavily engineered if you don't plan to assist the NPC in your SLF. Thinking about it, most of my Corvette time is spent in the SLF, the crew member operates the mother ship. One more harmless crew member to rank up.

Lol, I don't see it as cheating, I couldn't care less about my rank, but my crew members need to put the work in.

Been doing this with a new recruit over the last couple of days and it's quite rewarding to see them improve noticeably.

While Harmless she was firing off volleys of plasma that weren't going anywhere near her target.
Now, at Dangerous, I'm sitting in a CZ, re-arming and recharging my shield, a Master FDS appears on my scanner, she zips off to intercept and then I get a Cr55k bounty and a "That's one for me!" message. [up]
