Whenever I find myself straped for credits ( as an grinding artisan a constant problem) I go to the Tat system and look for swarms of tier1-2 npc ships and dive right on in. Half of the time my radar is just a blob of red and my shields are lit up so much that I can barely see and there are the expolding ships all around that also make it harder to see. HEHEHE I have sooo much fun during those times. When I am doing things like that I am not looking for a challenge just alot of loot and creds lol. Within 15 mins of doing this I useally have around 50k in loot and credits. now I'm currently a tier 2 pilot so I have no real trouble surviveing these swarms but like I said it is fun lol. Just wondering if anyone else does this.



blessed be to all those who still dream of the flight to the stars.

Yeah, do that in Deep Space as a Master. Those Kessel patrols of two and three Imperial fighters don't compare at all to havingfull 6+Tier 5 TIEs of every variety wailing on you while the ISD is lobbing potshots at you. Throw in formations of three YE-4s or two VT-49's and its awesome. Your ship is almost always backlit by awash of green blaster fire.


I fly overt and can run up to 12k faction points in just a couple hours a night.

yeah i do it all the time not just for money but to farm ship parts, i am an ace but i still need RE fuel for my ship write. those guys drop 1-5 level parts so they are great for RE, and to be honest some of the best parts are level 1-5. my reactor is a level 3 reverse engineered and its only 2.5k mass with 13k generation.

Nice...

I hit jackpot with a RE'd lvl 3 reactor at just a tad over 2k mass and 15k energy!! How Happy was I?!!

To stay on subject tho, I like to park my YT1300 in similar areas, stand inside safe in the knowledge they will never get through my shields and I simply love the effects inside the ship when its getting shot at!

A REAL nice spot to do this is in the naboo system, its a POI Nebula (think it begins with "A") there is a YT1300 (shows as aggro but never attacks) and a bunch of Rhixyerks that throw missiles at you, again - little risk of harm to ship or self but some cool explosions insode ship!!

cool replys everyone!!


something I do whenever I have a wingmate (or I am helping someone on a mission for that matter) is that I target them to keep track on how they are doing as I go off and blow up ships, when I do this I dont get the targeting crosshairs so I have to best guess on were to shoot. But with the wingman targeted I get better info then the team health info ( which just shows the ham bars of the caracter not the ship) so if they get in trouble I break off and go to the resque. But not haveing the targeting crosshairs makes going after the npcs more fun and challenging. Anyone else do this?

Even better: turn off the whole UI. It s like Luke turning off his targeting computer and flyingwith the Force alone. Looks beautiful, too.
