Thread: Why Black Sun Ace Helmets just aren't worth it
I killed way over 10k bs's to get my helmet. I accumulated a credit chip with over 5mil on it by just doing bs duty missions.
and if you think I did that to sell it to make credits you're on crack.

Also wrong...i killed nowhere near 3000 and found one
Where does that 3000 number come from?
What about figuring in loot gained from BS ships - some of which may be exceptional and worth millions in it's own right.
How about a comparison of time - T5 faction ships, especially in DS where they're spread out - take longer to kill than duty freelance style ships, especially when going after gunboats.

I'm a pack rat. That's what i spend the majority of my money on are the rarer stuff in the game. Or stuff that i think looks nifty.
3,000 Black Sun kills is about 12 hours of flying.... not that bad at all.
The Rebel pilot trainer on Lok gives a Tier 4 Black Sun duty. That duty spawns a total of 265 Black Sun ships, and can be completed in about an hour.
I've run 5 of these duties in the past couple of days, made lots of credits AND scooped up some good space loot at the same time, all in just a few hours of playtime. I use these duties for loot runs mostly, but one of these days a helmet will drop for me. If it only takes me 3,000 kills, that's a cakewalk. 3,000 isn't that many.

I did the entiretier 4 duty out of Naboo for RSF and got 2 items of spaceloot, 1 lvl 10, 1 lvl 2, I was not impressed. I loot far more stuff on random spawns andoff of factioned stuff inkessel. Either I am cursed, or BS suck for space loot.

as far as efficiency goes the OP is correct, although the numbers are off. i ground faction to buy my helmet. and i've made alot more than 30 million. if the market is right and i have the time.i could make 30 million in a week, AND i sell at 50cpu.. not 100.
14-20k faction per hour. x 5 = cap. sell for 5 mil. repeat x 6. you won't see that kind of productivity in any zone but DS. granted, that's pretty much the best possible #s. still, you get the idea. of course, you'd have to be selling faction to every armorsmith on the block or have an extremely hot GCW on your server or the well would dry up.
anyway the BS helm is worthless... too easy to buy, and everyone has one. the game needs more unique clothing drops.
