Slightly frustrated but still happy..

I've been taking my time with ED. It's a game after all and I play it at my leisure. I don't stress and grind of making big bucks fast. At this time, I have a cobra that's just about maxed out and around 2milcr in the bank. The frustrating part is ED seems happy that I am at this level. Anytime I start getting too much cash, the game blows me up. It's taunting me.

Get a really good assasination mission for 150k? Cool the enemy is nearly dead, rams me and I blow up(prepatch) Have a really profitable load of cargo? Wow it looks impressive splattered all over the back of the station because "Boost" got activated some how.

Now I'm not complaiing. I really do enjoy the game but I'm not sure it's enjoying me. Last night, I was heading in to dock for the night, Just seconds from exiting SC to enter the station, I get interdicted. As soon as I get to normal space, I check to see who had the audascity to do this to me. It was a Hauler with a 3k bounty....a 3 K bounty that I collected.

One more thing, I have a Warrent Scanner for those sneaky clowns that like to pretend they are clean. I try to scan anyone I meet in a USS just in case they need killing. This has lead me to a new discovery. Contacts with a bounty that give me a fine or trying to collect. I collected a 5k bounty and paid 9k for doing it. It's happed to me several times now..I scratch my head and beoome reluctant to do any bounty hunting these days.

Oh, carp, 1 more thing I just remembered, what happened to the advancement missions? Not long ago, I was geting a tone of them. They were even asking for things in the station where i was. I managed to go from CPO to WO in that sesssion. Now they are all gone again.

Alrighty then, thanks for reading this.

Oh, I guess there's no point in having such a scanner then. It's caused me to get blown up a couple of times becuse the target starts shooting me before I can finish the scan. Time to loose it. I don't bounty hunt that much anyways.

If the target starts shooting you while you're still scanning, then their status should turn wanted (wait till they hit you and look for their status change before shooting back - otherwise you get fined).

Obviously if the scanner shows a 50k bounty then it's worth killing them, evading the police, and paying the fine.

The other thing is that they're necessary for bounty hunting in anarchies (which is more fruitful then doing it in governed systems).

Without the KWS you will not get the bounties from other systems, only the one you are currently in
target them first to see if they are wanted, if they are you should KSW for additional bounty then attack.

All right I'll keep all that in mind. I don't bounty hunt on a regular basis but If they give me a reason to collect it, I'll not turn it down.

My favorite was a drop ship I think. I had Shadowplay running. If I can ever get the video uploaded to You Tube, I'll try to post it. I also need to cut it down a bit with an editor to get some of th long boring stuff out.

I also like the way they lump all the bounties up for collection now. It's a lot better than the way it used to be.

Later on, I think I have an Anaconda killing me. I hate when that happens. I guess I should invest in point defense and shield cells. I might last longer that way.
