Not saying this was the case here but there is another KZfaqr that dresses as an NPC at different landing zones and waits in the hangars and films to judge take offs and landings. He also waits outside the hangars in a ship and films and judges the take off and landings. He really gives you an idea of just how bad the majority of players are at flying their ships. lol

The npc Thing at the end was hilarious, some patient scumbag indeed, for sure It was the guy who stole your ship.

Вообще этот NPC просто красавчик. Так маскироваться, а потом напасть, угнать и попытаться продать. Просто пять балов! 🙂

You probably didn't have enough of a sample size here. I did two hours of ERT's last night, and grabbed 4 million. It's not better than a Reclaimer, but it's still a valid way to make the money to get one.

I did some testing myself and when I play with Taurus I rarely get Weevil Eggs, but If I play with Corsair or C2 then I get way more Weevil Eggs and large containers of Widow, E'Tam, Slam, Quantanium and Gold. Not sure if ERT loot depends on ship you play(can't see how is this possible) but I still need to do some testing to prove this. If you have C2 or Corsair, you can try to take around 10 ERT and VHRT missions with each ship and see if you have same results as me. You should have more luck then with Taurus. VHRT missions can also be very good...I found 18 scu of quantanium in VHRT mission.

I'm still getting eggs not a massive amount but still pretty regular, got around 4-5 mill last ERT

Cheeky bugger! Yeah what was once a great game loop doing ERT's and discovering riches in cargo has been literally relegated to the "scrap" heap. Not worth doing these, though I still enjoy the game loop, it is more lucrative doing high risk combat service beacons. Though it gets a little monotonous after a while. It would be great if CIG triggered some loot in those enemy ships to expand on the gameplay. I do see an opportunity though for doing team ERT's with a combat/cargo ship such as the Connie, and a Reclaimer to mop up the Construction Materials afterwards if there are crappy cargo loot containers.

Good ram, I approve.

It was *12* SCU of Weevil Eggs, and unless this other guy nabbed them, they would've still been there where your body was.

There is a KZfaqr that showed himself getting on ships as a NPC. Thats why i stop at different hangers before i go to my actual hanger. Nice Kamakazi.

As far as I can tell, CIG are aiming to make the different gameloop economies pay out about 150-200k/hr as the standard. Big scores (i.e. finding quant during mining, or finding a bounty carrying eggs) will boost that up occasionally. I tried to crunch some numbers on your runs in this video and the potential $ made seemed about on par with that standard. I'm mainly a miner, and the recent changes they've made to mining have incentivized players to start to care more for taking lower-tier loot and not just look for top-tier stuff. I think the same is happening here. There is some $ to be made by taking larger quantities of mundane cargo from these bounties vs. only taking vice and quant. That 890j bounty at the end was carrying a total 2mil worth of cargo (about 1 mil for just the eggs). Even if the other bounties only had about 100k worth on them, a find like THAT boosts the hourly average up considerably. Just a matter of taking the stuff we used to be too good for lol. Quite slow solo but with a friend in a C2 helping with cargo transfer, this is still pretty good money even compared to the new standard CIG seem to be aiming for. Long term I highly doubt any game loop will be paying out millions in minutes anymore. As we approach a more and more complete game, I think CIG wants people to have to work for ships and put the time in rather than being able to afford everything they could possibly want in their first week playing.

3:35 /stare, long small boxes are 2 scu, short small are 1...

Unlucky. Btw it was actually 12 SCU of weevil eggs. And 43 SCU etam. So thats like ~1.8m. Rip

Hats off to that player disguising themselves as an NPC hangar worker! And remaining in character even after you blew his cover! I wonder if he HAD gained access to the ship, what you would have observed him doing once inside. He would have had a limited window of time as the ship is flying out of port to change out of their disguise and into some more sinister armor and equipment.

Dude, I seen this guy in my hanger, I jumped in and thought it was pretty suspicious for sure. Scammers everywhere.

atm all of boxes are size one.

Now one will spawn loot and every bounty after that i get spawns nothing

I swear they recently reduced the amount of quant you get. I used to make mils but not anymore unless I get lucky

the dude was parking at a pad u could of tried to get back in your ship

1scu of eggs? 12 scu! worth 1.3-1.4 mio

12 scu of eggs isnt that bad :P

WOW, it seems to me that your in game experience is rather limited. He caught you slip'n and your reaction is to pad ram. So since your obviously overreacting to a event in an online multiplayer game, let me give you my observations/advice: 1st) Most people learn the quickest way to get ride of chat is F12, this is bad as you then don't have other important channels, like vehicle ,party and other custom channels you might have. My advice here is to press F11 and in the global chat settings, toggle the setting "send to visor" off 2nd) When you started your fire fight you only had 16 bullets in the magazine, Always reload all your weapons. 3rd) You did not press charges against their actions against you, On your HUD you had the message displayed and you either need to confirm charges with "[" or deny with "]". 4th) Since they might have tried to contact you over VoIP or other channels, you probably could have had a different experience. Maybe they would have ransomed you, maybe another plan. Anyway the point here is that you can have game play loops that are entirely player created. 5th) At the station since they did not have Crime Stat they were blue, only after the game registered that, within the last 5 minutes they attacked you, they turned red for you only. If you then engaged the player, they could have pressed charges against you. 6th) The ship was heading for the open pads at the station and you could have just gotten back into it most probably. 7th) The pad ram in an armistice zone is actually a ban-able offense, be very careful and read the posts on spectrum related to ban-able offenses. All in all good video, just be mindful of your situation as it may not be as it seems when the adrenaline is running and the pressure is on. o7 Fly safe!
