Thank you, bounty hunters!

Quite a few bounty hunters have posted on the forum discussing their experiences when accepting those large 100K+ missions to hunt down some dangerous criminal. Sorry, there are too many of you and I was too lazy to search the forums for all your names but you know who you are. ;)

I've been playing ED since beta as a trader / hauler but recently purchased a viper and made the switch to bounty hunting. I've having a ball! After gaining some experience with my viper, getting accustomed to its handling and upgrading it to what I feel is a good loadout, I decided to accept a 183K mission to take out that dastardly evildoer Pat Burns. Well, somebody must have told him I was coming because he started firing missiles at me just as soon as I dropped out of SC. lol

Anyway, with all the pointers I received from reading posts on this forum, I was able to successfully defeat that no good piece of trash on my first attempt! He got my hull down to 66% before I finally took out his power plant and he went KABOOM! So, THANKS, to all of you bounty hunters who were kind enough to share your experiences and spread your knowledge to us bounty hunting noobs! :)

No problem, but now we need a challenge. Killing them is too easy.

Biggest ship in the game, Elite pilots. They die without much fuss in all honesty.

Haha, you're welcome commander!

Your next challenge is to do it with no hull damage, I suggest trying to stay underneath him!

On a side note, isn't the sound an anaconda makes when it pops most satisfying?

Indeed an Elite conda can be taken out with ease, perhaps the conda should be accompanied with an escort to make it harder.

In saying that if they make the elite conda harder then the payout should be considerably more.

Oh man could you imagine an elite anaconda escorted by 2 elite pythons?

That would be a hell of a fight.

Look into top 5 bounties in Galnet in given system. All of them are real players. They will not be easy. Probably group is needed to take them down.

How many shield cell banks are in your ship?

I have one module for cells which holds five. I try not to use them unless I really have to. Instead, I prefer to retreat enough to give my shields time to recharge. I used two right at the end, when I had his shields down, hull down to 27% and his power plant at 11%. I didn't want to retreat for my shields to recharge if I could just finish him off right then.
