If any of you want to hook up in Open play or Private session, lemme know. I'm flying in solo at the moment!

Not working right now, in between jobs so I'm around late...drinking beers and killing Pirates!!!

Ram,
We’ll have to get u an invite to our PG. One of us will get in touch with The_Nephilim and get you added. I believe the first step is to friend request us. My nick is CMDR UTUMNO in game. You will prolly see Wingy on before me, he is CMDR Wingnuts01 I believe. I hope to be in game about 6 hrs hence.

That was fun. Met up with Wingnuts and Ram, but no invite yet for the PG, but I did drop a note to Neph. We were all on comms though. See, every now and then I make an appearance!

I flew to Sirius in Poison Whiskey, taking along 16 limpets. I scanned the system and found two HGEs close to the star and close to each other so I hit them, then looked for a RES. Couldn't find any, but did see pirate threat 5, and thought that must be where the action is. Dropped in and bounced my first target, a Deadly Chieftain. The bastage gave me all I could handle, and no mistake. One v one joust battle and he shot away my fancy shields and down to 61% hull by the time I was done with him. Toughest NPC hombre I can recall. The ships in this thing are jacked. So after just one engagement I was already heading back to the megaship to repair!

Meanwhile Wingnuts arrived then we both dropped in to the pirate instance and cleaned their clocks. Two are much better than one. The kills are also worth a hell of a lot of money, Wingnuts said about a million a pop. They are darn tough, but pay well. Good CG, and I'll be back. But if I do it alone I'm going back for the FDL smile In all I turned in 13.4m, 8.5m of which counts toward the CG. Top 50% at this point.


Here's Wingnuts and his colorful Krait against a fine blue planet background


[Linked Image]

Nice choice of HUD schemes for this one eh?



And we landed in unison, Wingnuts couldn't see it as he was ahead, but I snapped a shot just as we both touched down. That hull damage is due to shield breach attacks. My shields didn't drop after teaming up with Skittles. Taste the Rainbow.

I’ll run Angband to a close by system tonite. Hopefully, I’ll get some trigger time too!

That would be great Bo. If you leave it there through the CG I'll base there. I'm docked at the megaship, the name of which is in the shot above.

I noticed when I was on your carrier that you don't have a shipyard. If you did, could visiting commanders use ship transfer there?

As I said this is a fun CG, and to put the cherry on it, one of the Annies dropped a couple PIs! Well don't that beat all. smile

Since Sirius is a permit system, no carriers allowed. It’ll be parked as close as possible. CG’s always have a ton of carriers present, so it’ll take some searching to find a system that hasn’t reached the carrier limit. I’ve never had to park more than 1 jump away yet.

I’m pretty sure you will be able to transfer any ship or module you want to my carrier.

For what it is worth, the pirate threat instances aren't the only place to do this. Sirius has a CNB at the moment, and the CG thread I linked says this in the first post

Other Sirius controlled local systems:

Procyon, 5.23Ly
Luyten's Star, 5.79Ly - has ringed planets with various RES
Luhman 16, 7.70Ly
Luyten 674-15, 11.56Ly
Ross 446, 19.87Ly - has ringed planets with various RES
LHS 1951, 21.02Ly
RR Caeli, 21.13Ly - has ringed planets with various RES
LHS 2065, 21.32Ly - has ringed planets with various RES
Lu Yupik, 25.60Ly

But that pirate threat combat is the best against NPCs I have come across. Felt like a whole gaggle of spec ops ships. And the pay is great. And it is just .3ls from the megaship.My previous best bounty as displayed in the codex was 390k. It jumped to almost 600k fighting these ships.

But I think any of those other places would work too, just have longer to the bounty station.

Thanks for the info about the carrier Bo. I haven't tried a transfer when I have been there, and thought a shipyard is needed. Do you have one and I am thinking of a different carrier?

I think I am fortunate Wingnuts came on. Are the pirates lawless? Didn't even notice. If they are, you need a KWS right? I could have done all that and got nuthin'.

Neph has invited Ram, but certainly this is old news by now smile

What a night!! So glad I hooked up with Bo and Wingnuts, me in my Condo, Bo in his AWESOME Vette, Wing in his Krait. Man we swatted them down like flies, one after another!!

Bo regenerated my shield.................I never knew there was something like that!! LMAO

We killed it, and I can't wait until tomorrow, and hopefully others can join in. THANK YOU to Nephilim for getting me into the group.

I had a great time and am honored and grateful to fly with you guys!!

Here's where I ended up at the end of the night:

[Linked Image]

Couldn't have done that without you all and hope we can all get the most we can!!

I'll be on again around 12PM EST for sure.

Thanks!

Wow! Great work boys, Top 10%, that's rarefied air, which I've not breathed smile

Welcome to the group Ram, you fit right in. And any commanders flying big targets that can take the aggro off us are appreciated! biggrin

Was just thumbing through the CG thread on the Frontier boards and one guy posted his CG standing, with over 300m in bounties for this one. Needless to say he currently resides in the top 10. That is some OCD going on there smile

Have any human pirates been hunting human bounty hunters in this CG?

WTF!! #%&*$#, I'm only at 40mil!! Dude must have some GREAT CRANK!!! band : HAHA

Anyway, just had a weird situation happen in the closest Pirate Activity 5 area, Sirius.

I was scanning ships and came upon a Python from the Sirius Silver Mafia, wanted of course, I locked him up. I didn't attack because I was waiting for my shields to regenerate, once I had two rings, he decided to wake out, so I deployed my weapons and attacked him.

He turned to attack me and told me he was going to boil me up. HE DIDN'T FIRE A SINGLE SHOT, no cannons, no beams or lasers! biggrin confused A BUG??

He kept turning nose hot into me and in a minute or two he was toast!! I've done this before when a ship was waking out, but the ship has always attacked me back. Was a bit weird having someone attacking you but not firing!!!

I'm not complaining!! HAHA

I've seen that in RES before, shooting a ship with surge detected. He aborts the jump, but never opens fire. A freebie!

I turned in 12m yesterday to stand at 20m for the CG, in the upper end of 50%. Was actually just 200k short of 25% but that would have quickly faded. But I'm pleased with where I am at the mo. Another session or two and I'm good I think.

Met up with Bo and Recluse today to fly a bit. They both brought their SEXY Yellow and Purple Vette's and I was in my Conda. We made BANK.

A few pics, okay, a bit more than a few!

Bo made it into the top 10%, can't remember his total though and Recluse got on the board. A pleasure to fly with you all!

I have MORE beer and cigs, so I'll be around this evening, though I do have to make dinner!!

EDIT: Also, Bo and I had a crazy hilarious deal, Bo and I pinned an Alliance Cheftain with the nose of both our ships, he was stuck, and we blasted away, must've been 10 seconds or so that we had him pinned in between us. He didn't last long, we almost pinned a second ship and we laughed all to heck about it. Recluse also started have internet issues, getting disconnected for TS and ED, which sort of sucked, but it was great flying with him for a bit.

Have I said lately what a BLAST I'm having!! Thanks Guys!!

Haha the one who says I can see when I'm outmatched. No shi!t.

Looks like you guys had good target discipline by the screenshots.

Ram what's the scoop on the ECM? I see you're actually using it. What is it doing for you?
