I found the Cutter to be a real pig to turn, even with G5 dirty drives and other bits engineered, hated the thing. It always got me into the top 10% at trade CG's with a cargo load of 720 units. It's fast in a straight line but even with FA off i found it so sllloow to turn.

OK i'm at 260 mill at the moment, another 240 to go and that'll give me an A rated Anaconda ready for engineering. I recon a week to fully unlock the top tier of engineers, and we'll see what we can do :) I need to work on my combat rank too, get it to the same as my other account cos where it is now isn't very intimidating lol

OOH yp I forgot about ship launched fighters, 2 conda's and 2 ship launched fighters circling a TYpe 7/9/ trade cutter... can't wait

I hit Jang Di last night for 2 hours and made 2m. I interdicted a Keelback carrying 50 of those diamonds! Also an Adder that had 20. I then flew up to the CG so I'm there when we get to play later today. We can try going after some traders.

The bobing apples CG? there's no money there, its all grain and beer? i haven't bought my conda yet, got the cash, just unlocking some of the top tier engineers, give me a shout on voice comms when you get on.

Good job with the LTD's I will have to go have a look at the place later.... :)

If you pirate a player and they drop cargo that you scoop up I think that's different than cargo that you use hatchbreakers for to steal. So if they drop it, we pick it up, sell to the regular market, as long as we are signed up for the community goal then we will get credit towards that which would be the money we are looking for. I could be completely wrong tho.

Yep, they have to abandon it, so that it's legal salvage, there are 2 options when ejecting cargo, the first will show it as stolen, second as legal salvage :) need to ensure that they click the correct one.

Community goal bonus with pilfered cargo, lmao I'm up for that, def over the weekend, think tonight i need to buy and engineer a conda :) don't think the clipper will cut it as there will be player bounty hunters I guess. Maybe use a wake scanner and follow the 'victim' from where they are picking supplies up and interdict them before they hit the CG system? I like that we post it on here, so if they bother to look they can adjust their security to suit.

Let me know your thoughts

In the CG system its a 35000LS slog from the star to the CG trade station. What you could do is have 1 wingman in a very none threatening ship hang near the star and act as a spotter for potential targets, and other wingmates positioned just beyond the point where ships approaching the station start decelerating in supercruise, ready to interdict any targets as they're called in by the spotter. Have the interdiction ships wait in normal space so they arent spotted by any traders heading to the station . With some good timing & coordination from the spotter (maybe do a few trial runs in a PG), the interdiction team can low wake into supercruise just as a target approaches their approximate location.

Once targets pass the deceleration point, so far as I understand the supercruise/interdiction mechanics, they should have zero chance of outrunning you while in supercruise.

ed: I think the path from star to the station passes by some res zones, you could have the spotter hang near them in say a Viper. Just another bounty hunter doing the bounty CG. If you've got access to the right engineer, have the spotter equip G5 wide angle sensors so he can scan ships with out pointing his ship towards traders. Less suspicious.

Now that bsounds spot on, I'm engineering at the moment, should be done at some point tomorrow, will get scanners done too,

Just need a third, but will see what happens. Straddeling the pond plays havoc with time zones etc

Or another plan, if you're a tad brave. If the trade lane does pass by those res zones, take your ships into one of those and let the npc pirates inflict a chunk of damage to your hull. Say 20% to 40% damage. Take an AFMU to repair any damaged internals. You can now head back towards the direction of the station with the casual appearance of bounty hunters returning for a repair/reload, and are hopefully more likely to catch traders unaware. Dont imagine that would work mor than a handful of times, though. Or at all with a wanted status.

Im getting ready to hop on, but you're right engineering makes alot of sense. Im going to look into what I need right now to engineer a few options on my ship. I really waned to get the money together for the top power plant before I did that. Right now I have an 8B power plant installed.

Last night I hit some smuggling runs and brought in about 8mil. I'm hoping to make another 10 tonight, by the weekend I should have enough put away to start the engineering process.

Atleast get your FSD done, grade 5 and whilst your there get G3 dirty drives done at the same place (Felicity Farseer) could also get your B rated power plant a grade 1 overcharge if you need more power. But the B grade is the heaviest so you won't see the full benefit of your FSD upgrade until you get A rated power.

On my newly acquired 'conda, I lightened my scanner, and now with the G5 FSD I have just over 28 ly jump, but I do also have the armoured grade 1 power plant, G5 dirty drives, shields and boosters all G5, Power distributor G5 and some work on the armour. Big laser is now efficient and the multi canons are sturdy mounts.

Guess what, it still handles like a brick, I Hate it, Hate it, Hate it. Guess I'm just a medium ship / Clipper (as the largest) kind of Pirate. I'd like to do a Federal Assault Ship as my Pirate vessel but with only 64 t of cargo space and 1 collector limpet controller (as well as the hatch breaker) I don't think it's enough to be viable.

Right I have to get allied with the Erubyia Blue Mafia for access to Liz Ryder, who in turn will get me access to the engineer I really want.. Broo Tarquin so I'm off exploring for a few days to get enough data to hit allied in one hit.

I'll be on voice comms just shout me when your about

Happy Hunting 07

Oh and check the status of Hand Gang at Bob Paffett... think they're a lost cause m8 we need a strategy if we are going to get them up from the bottom again, they lost the civil war and are fooked

Arrgghhh shiver me timbers / Cobra hull and pieces of eight or something like that

I posted on the comments section on Inara. Since we use that site so much for finding materials and such we should just post on our pages comment page. So let's move the convo there Syndicate members.

Click to expand...

Hows it going? Welcome to the game. If you would like to join I highly recommend going to the Inara page. We were highly active on this page and in recent weeks we decided to move to the Inara page simply because not everyone likes the Pirate life and you had some that would follow our conversations to use on the forum page. I also would say the group hasn't been as active over the month of december with family events, waiting on updates, etc. Our group isnt a group that asks for membership only to it, if you want to fly with other groups and contribute to ours as well then the more the merrier! We really strive to unite the criminal underbelly to help all of us line our pocketbooks. Personally I only smuggle illicit goods or pirate miners.

Here is the link to the Inara page:

We would love to have another contributor to the criminal element in Elite Dangerous.
