The 600k challenge revisited

A little while ago a fellow commander suggested a fun thing called the 600k challenge:

Take a ship costing not more than 600 000 credits, set a goal for yourself to accomplish with it, and set out to do it.

Since that time NPCs have received a buff, we have the engineers etc. so I thought it would be fun to revisit that challenge.

So, I chose a Viper outfitted like this:

https://coriolis.edcd.io/outfit/vip...2sm1.Iw19kA==.MwBhCYy6Oo==.&bn=600K challenge

My goal is to earn 10 million credits with it. I am not allowed to upgrade or change the ship in any way, I have to fly this ship until my balance is 10 million credits higher than when I started the challenge. I will play this challenge in open.

Feel free to join the challenge and post your builds and exploits here.

If you read the OP, you can see that they have not got a passenger cabin, so will not be doing any passenger missions.

A few people have seemed to of missed the point of this being a challenge.

A better challenge for a Hauler would be to mine 50 tons of Bromite and unlock the engineer for example. Something it is not simple to do, but it is possible. You know....a challenge!

Take an Eagle, and earn 5 million in a res, only ever flying it FA off.

good luck in your endeavour noldunar. It should be fun.

Took the poor man's Viper out for a very short trip into the HighRES. HighRES are actually way to easy, even if you don't follow security. I pick a fight whenever I want, even if security is not nearby but after a few moments they join in. They are drawn to firefights as moths are to light. As soon as they join in the battle is basically over and I get the money.

So I will stick to HazRES sites, compromised nav beacons or I will go USS hunting in an anarchy system, since I have a KWS.

Also the occasional assassination contract to mix things up a bit. Since my combat rank is deadly I should be matched up with a few interesting NPCs in random encounters in anarchy systems.

My challenge is to take my 600k ship and set myself the goal of avoiding any infuriating, ever-present bugs for as long as possible.

I'm hoping to make it through the next half hour at least!

What kind of marlarkey is this now? Care to elaborate? I must admit, I am living in my own happy version of the game and don't keep taps on all the mission stacking, unlimited material farming, mission cargo selling exploits that one can use. So what is this about missiles you speak of?

It was nerfed/fixed. However you take it it's not possible to do with stock viper anymore.

Had a fun session tonight in my low-budget Viper: First I made 1.2 million credits bounty hunting in a HazRes and afterwards I got 800k credits to deliver 8 tonnes of basic medicines to a nearby outbreak system. Another 2 million towards the 10 million credit goal.

So that's a challenge...? Pfff...

An actual challenge, go to a Combat Zone (High) with a Sidewinder, equipped with one Burst Laser and no shields. Then kill at least 20 ships in one pass not going in and out of the zone. And record it all in a video.

Now that is what I call a challenge. [hotas]
