Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

8 pirates less in this system:)

1 fdl
2 cobra mk 3
2 pythons
1 vulture
2 eagles

happy bunny that was over, has the vulture and fdl was a bleeding hard target to line up for the cannon's bonuses of 230,000 cr per ship:)

really need to improve the pythons thrusters

K II v Mamba v FdL v corvette. Who wins and why.

This question is worth 40%
NPC (CZ) or PVP?
40% ?
I’ll only answer the question for Rep+++ and nothing less 🥸
(In suggesting he jumps into a Krait 2, I inadvertently opened a can of old, recycled worms, didn’t I?)
(BTW, Mamba’s look prettier, when in the most precise stage of KABOOM)

Ordinary fighters (Imperial or Federation) you should be able to get wherever you bought the fighter bay. For the extraordinary fighters (Guardian), you'll need to jump through a few hoops (collect a fighter blueprint and some Guardian mats).
And no, you don't need an NPC; you can fly the fighter yourself. Of course, that leaves the question who should fly your ship in your (mental) absence. If you're ok with an AFK turretboat, that's fine. But NPCs don't need to come that expensive (in cash, they'll still syphon off experience points). There are two schools on that:
  • buy them cheap, i.e. with minimum experience, and train them up yourself
  • hire them with high level on the spot, then kick them out again after the mission but before you go and cash in
Second option is limited to IIRC "Dangerous" level, though - while you can traqin your own pilots up to "Elite".
