Elite: Dangerous (From Scratch) - Bounty Hunting Introduction
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ค. 2024
- Continuing the 'from scratch' series I demonstrate how to go bounty hunting in the beginners spacecraft by finding targets at a navpoint and then dealing with them. Trying this as a new player is a good way to learn to fly and possibly make some money with no risk of losing an expensive ship.

first time i picked up cargo the feds popped in, scanned me and fined me, so i dumped the goods when they left and a few light seconds down the road i got another fine for illegal dumping of illegal goods lol
Pro-tip - un-target the ship to make your gimballed weapons fire straight until his chaff wears off if you are close enough to easily get shots.
Pretty sure a guy with a name like "Mewl the Cruel" isn't going to stay clean for long!! :D
+ObsidianAnt Hey its the Ant! o7
+ObsidianAnt It's kind of funny how you can deduce who's a criminal by just looking at their name... :P
It’s obsidian ant!!
There is a very simple trick to find the entrance to these kind of stations except watching the rotation: Target it. Small arrows on the small "model" next to your radar point toward the entrance.
Nav beacons are one way to do it, but objectively the best place to get easy money and easy bounties are systems with resource extraction sites. Most of the time, big bounties show up if there's a pirate faction in the system, so your big expensive bounties like fer-de-lances and anacondas show up. Security forces are also very prevelant in there too, so if things get a little too hairy you can back off a bit and recuperate and let them chip down the health of the bounty, and system security never takes any bounties you've dealt damage to, meaning you will get most of if not all the money from it provided you've dealt some hull damage. If you're real lucky, you can get a planet that has a RES ring AND a station orbiting it, one good example is HR 7793, but there are loads and loads more well known systems that have RES rings and stations around the same planet.
+Andrewoid A few further points on this; don't choose "hazardous" ones, that means no local security. If the spawning wanted targets are small fry (sidewinders, eagles, etc usually have a low bounty) then causing the area to reload can change the type of ships spawning (quit and start, or jump out and drop back in).
Finally, remember to cash out before you've earnt too much. Lost about 1.5M in bounties last time my ship got destroyed :'(
+Daniel P Where is that site you are talking about? which planet? B2 rings or one of the belts?
+Daniel P actually never mind, I figured it out; still new to the game. Thanks for the advice a +1 for you.
+Daniel P A better system (not too far from LHS 3447 either) is Aphra. Aphra has 1 low, 3 high and 1 hazardous RES sites and the one station (not outpost) is a max of 40ls from the sites, nice bit of choice right there ;)
Last night I pulled in 2 mil in a couple of hours in my Sidey although I did lose about another half mil by getting cocky/careless/greedy XD
Thanks for this series! I'll be watching them all
I've had Elite: Dangerous for a long time but haven't yet spent much time with it. These starter videos are a great way to catch up. Please do more. :)
Listening to you is like having a warm cup of chamomile on a cool summer's eve sitting on the porch of your cabin watching a storm roll in over the lake.
Just from the title I can tell this is gonna be a great series.
Scott did'nt say in this, but when you land in a station? there's a cage on the opening. On one side there is solid green lights, on the other side there is flashing red lights. PLEASE go in on the green side. Same on exiting.
+Robert Shockley (RDSHOCK) Depending on the size of ship that may not be possible. Type 9's and Anacondas pretty much fill the mail slot, so they need to be centered upon entry. Besides that though, I agree.
+Aaron Lucas Heh, I like watching the scrubs go full wack jackass through the slot, and faceplant on a type 9 that's too much of a fatass to get out of the way!
Scott your videos are great! Watching you play Elite Dangerous made me buy it the other day and I'm getting back into space sims in a big way. I'm trying to get my hands on a Saitek X52 Pro that doesn't cost an arm and a leg so I can play with a good flight stick.
Just wanted to say thanks for being great at stuff like making videos and stranding Kerbals in space! ;)
cheers, Scott! looking forward if this becomes a rounded 'how to' series.
Hi Scott, You guys...you and Troa Barton and Obsidian Ant... you make it look so easy. I'm remembering now why I haven't played Elite in 20 years. It's so frustrating!
Come to Hutton Orbital in Alpha Centauri, we have a great bar and a gift shop.
Collect your very own Hutton Mug!
(Just be sure to have plenty of fuel as it will take ~85 minutes in supercruise)
Love this video and I hope that you will continue to make more on this game.
This is a fantastic series.
Elite Dangerous is as deep as your imagination. If you think it is shallow, you're not imagining deep enough. Keep in mind that the original ED was white dots on a black background, which you "imagined" was a galaxy of star systems. Now we actually can land on planets, and dock at space stations, etc. There are billions of stars to explore, and ships to fight, and missions laid out for you. What is the magic element that would add "depth" to the experience? Imagination.
I like this series quite a lot.
Bro, I love you channel. You're awesome!
For those not using a flight stick and you are having control problems, the best thing you can do is go into your control layout and swap rudder / rotation controls. Rudder for left / right on mouse and rotation for A and D. Helped me so much when I did it.
Great video! I would also love to see an introduction/explanation of the Elite Dangerous trading specialization.
4:44 No need to get the last shot, just shoot them a couple times, stay in range and you will get the entire bounty for yourself.
When starting out this is really useful because you don't have to kill the ship yourself, you don't even get attacked if you don't deal too much damage. Just follow the police and shoot at their targets (always scan before shooting).
I have to say a big thank you for this video. I have watched many videos about starting combat and bounty hunting but yours is the best it answer all the questions I had and a few I didn't know I had. I know this is part of your from scratch series but would you do a follow on from this about progressing into better ships please.
Thanks Scott. ive had this game for a while and been frustrated with making money and getting used to the systems on my loaner ship. . im back at it and hoping to farm up a cobra in a few evenings .. cheers from Scott in Victoria BC
The sidewinder when fitted right with a skilled pilot can take on adders, it takes forever but it manages it
Very good video man, could have used this a week ago, but ah well. Compromised Nav Beacons are the best because pretty much everyone there has a bounty of about 100,000.
Can't wait to play this on PS4 and start bounty hunting! Initial goal is a Vulture.
On the picture of the space station next to the navigation for those hexagonish shapped stations there's arrows that show up when you request docking on the picture telling you where the entrance is at
Scooootttt Dan's fucking around in ksp againnnnnn.
I killed 3 worth 20k last night and one that was 50k... with a Sidewinder. Thanks Scott for the tips!
There are little indicators on the station hologram in the hud. You can use it to find the entrence.
Scot did not mention this part with the Kill warrent scanner you can also get bounties which are Faction related Empire/Fed/Alliance which can be handed in to any station in that factions space or alliened station. Also the cobra mk3 is faster than a viper mk3 but the viper has a better weapon layout position all weapons are on the top, over the cobra's small on the bottom of the hull and the med bays being just below the cockpit.
Your voice is so soothing
Protip for finding the way in to the space stations. On the hologram view, you have some arrows that point to the entrance.
+[CPC] Vlad Tepes Yup, works well for the Coriolis ones (those vaguely cube-shaped), not so well for Orbis, Ocellus and other variants, and not at all for Outposts (where it can be a real pain in the ass finding your pad even with the Nav Compass 'cos they can 'face' in any direction).
It doesn't take long to learn how to identify the correct end of the non-Coriolis full-sized stations though.
Scott, I also have an X-52 Pro. Do you know of a way to use it with Kerbal where the throttle can be used and there's no controller lag?
I'm a vet that has played Elite: Dangerous for hundreds of hours, but I'm watching for Scott Manley's Manley voice.
If I ever saw Scott in Elite by some freak chance, I'd fanboy so hard...
Hi Scott Manley I was wondering if you would know how to change between versions of ksp such as 1.0.5 and then revert back to .25 can you please help?
I always purposely overshoot in Supercruise, it gets you there faster then slows you down significantly because of the planets gravity. it is also a good way to avoid interdictions lol
Please do more of these
I'm currently sitting in Eravate, did some bounty hunting with both the Eagle and the Viper MkIII. Local stations don't sell much more though, aside from maybe transports like the type-6. How should I go about branching out, finding new hunting grounds and more importantly stations that actually sell proper ships and equipment?
I love watching your videos Scott. I play elite myself but not got horizon yet but I will do soon. have you any tips about the game? I'd love to Skype you and have good gaming sesh with you but your obviously I very busy guy making videos haha. keep it the good work Scott I'm looking forward to more space games!
In addition. If you have an imperial rank , the imperial courrier is also a pretty good BH ship. cheaper than the vulture and slightly smaller armaments. Scott didn't mention the Fer-de-Lance as a next tier BH ship. it's prolly one of the best combat ships in the game when fully geared up, better than the python which is also a multi-role ship.
Can you do a tutorial on smuggling next? I'm not sure the way I'm doing it is the easiest/most efficient way and I'd love to see how you do it
I like going to resource collection sites around planet rings in systems that have good security. You can find fights where the security is already fighting wanted ships. Join into the fight against the wanted ship and as long as you shoot it at least once and are the last non-npc to hit the ship you will get the bounty for it. I have gotten the bounties from some really large ships this way just using the starting sidewinder. Largest bounty I have gotten like this was around 115,000 credits.
+stagehog81 Biggest I got was 162k, I thought I'd taken a screenie of it but sadly I didn't :(
Been an Elite fan since I first played it on an Amstrad . I understand from my children Santa may get me a copy of Elite Dangerous if I behave my self .
Curious how well this game controls with just a mouse and keyboard. It seems to work well with the VR and joystick setup, but I have neither of those.
Being completely new and wanting to play this game, what should i buy elite dangerous or horizons or both
Scott, from what I understand that little blue bit on the throttle bar is like an auto-throttle. When I leave the throttle in the blue range so the bar turns blue and aim at a station or whatever in supercruise, it'll automatically throttle down as you get closer. To be fair though, it does seem to overshoot every now and then....
+Dr. Zandi, just to clear this up, the blue bit on the throttle is just to indicate your ships optimal thruster range. This is the range that your ship is most maneuverable. As far as the ship speed automatically changing, this happens due to the lore behind the ships FSD being affected by large mass objects, ie the closer you are to a large mass, the slower the drive goes. Which is why you dont over-shoot when you approach a station from planet side.
+Seth Brown Which is also why that ETA timer everyone talks about is useless /as an ETA timer/, because your speed is constantly changing and the timer only takes your current speed into account.
It does, however, work great with the "0:07" rule for quick/easy approach to things in SuperCruise.
Ive not too long started playing ED....ive bought horizons in psn sale for 10 quid which was good.
Ive made money doing courier/data/boom deliveries....plus trading a few tons of commodities for a few extra creds.
Anyhoo...saved n saved...now have a cobra mark3....brilliant ship can highly recommend....bought 2 16 ton cargo racks....still doing boom/courier data drop offs but now can make a good few thousand extra each trip trading needed cargo to the system iam travelling too.
Just started doing combat....probably made 10 mill but spent most of it A rating my cob3.
Now saving again for an asp explorer i think....better cargo carrying potentiol and a bit of a beast for combat.
Will stick with asp till i get one of the big ships.
Loving the game...frustrating untill u get some credits saved but once u have some money its brill.
How does Elite Dangerous compare to lets say X3 AP, and how dynamic is the universe?
Hey Scott love your vids. A couple of quick questions.
1) How do you use the x52 stick without wrenching it off your desk when using it? Or do you? I thought about the thrustmaster Warthog stick just for the weight. I had an x45 years ago and the stick never stood still on my desk, without velcro.
2) Do you use a head tracker? If so what do you recommend that is up to par with the real expensive ones, that isn't that expensive?
heya0 you go the extra mile& whirl attend what's your opinion about iw
Hey Scott, I recommend giving Independence War 2 a shot. It's an old game but its really good and its available on steam and GOG.com.
+Yoshiman__ Knowing Scott, he's probably played it. But yes, it is a wonderful game and most certainly worth a look.
+Chris Sloan when I say give it a look, I mean I'd quite like to see him play it. it's a space piracy game.
why do your lasers have that track thingy? doesnt seem whenever i try combat...i always have to aim directly .... can i enable it somehow?
what happens when you fly into a ring like on the starter planet?
I have star citizen but, should I got elite? and I also have an I5 4th gen processor and my graphics card is a NVIDIA 359.06
Scott Manley, Just wondering since i have got myself an X52 Pro, do you use the stock setup on it or have you changed some settings around to make it more efficient?
"No upgrades" But the stock sidewinder has fixed weapons right? You have gimballed ones.
I need to add, as long as you get through the air lock quickly and dock, you will be fine to sell it.
I really want to get this game!! Just got to upgrade my GPU first, my good ol' gtx 580 died :(
How do you tell what ships are NPC's and which aren't?
how would you setup a exploration setup? (if possible)
+hotrod956r Largest Fuel Scoop you can fit/afford, Advanced Discovery Scanner, Detailed Surface Scanner. And of course if you have Horizons you'll want a Planetary Vehicle Hangar with at least one SRV.
Down the low end a Hauler will suffice, with that ADS costing most (1.5mil) of the 2mil cost.
If youtube will let me link ... coriolis.io/outfit/hauler/02D2D2A1D1D1D2C---30v62i2f.Iw19A===.Aw19A===
any know when Xbox one version comes out
How are you quickly targeting subsystems without having to use your left side screen?
KorGaraak eye tracking, most players use it
Awww but Scott! I want to fly in at 100% throttle so I can slingshot around stars and warp out like a BA!
Hey Scott, do you use TrackIR or a similar product for head tracking? Great content as always, keep it going!
+Jonathan Hazlewood I'm not Scott, but yes he does use TrackIR, specifically.
SBwingman Thank you for your answer!
I believe he uses trackIR
I think they changed what happens when you shoot the power plant so that it doesn't explode all the time anymore but rather makes it go into some sort of reduced output mode. Still the best thing to shoot at, just not always a guaranteed instapop as soon as the plant's HP are down.
As far as I know, if you destroy the power plant and continue to shoot it, there is a good chance for the ship to explode in any of that shots. It's worth vs anacondas.
+DavidUtau Yes, at 0% the powerplant will now output 50% power, but any subsequent hits have a good chance of blowing it up as before this change.
I'm not sure the change has made all that much difference in practice.
Why am I just now finding out you can throttle down in hyperspace?
A small correction: blowing up the Power Plant is no longer a guaranteed kill. It does reduce the power avaiable to a maximum of 50% the normal output and AIs don't really know how to deal with the energy loss, but the insta-kill chance is pretty small.
Still a good sub-system to target, though.
+Radintoriov I wouldn't say pretty small because every hit at the 0% PP got a chance to pop the ship.
The good thing is that when the PP is at 0% the NPCs simply stay still, unlike when you kill the thrusters where they float away. This makes it very easy to pirate NPC ships because you just need to reduce the hatch (faster hacking) and send your limpets out.
IHaTeD2 Yeah, the NPCs really do not know how to deal with a blasted PP, and you make a good point that it's a great way to relieve them of their cargo since currently it effectively disables them.
As for the insta-kill, I haven't had much luck. In the past month, out of all the NPC Anaconda and Python I killed, only two 'condas had PP-related death; both times I was in a wing with someone else, so maybe they helped the RNG. :p
So (if I understand it correctly) the three big jobs are... space trucker, bounty hunter, or cartographer.
Do they have plans for adding more stuff? I guess that the planet-side stuff would have a lot of potential for more in between.
+PTNLemay There's also Mining, and the 'Smuggler' variant of 'space trucker'.
On planets (with the Horizons expansion) you can not only land at Settlements but also go take on varying sizes and security levels of bases (that don't have landing pads). Or just fly around looking for Points Of Interest, which could be a crashed ship, a blown up SRV, or just some wreckage with some cargo canisters (usually guarded by some Skimmers). And then there's meteorite/outcrop hunting to get the Materials to utilise Synthesis for things like one-shot FSD range boost, or ammo for weapons that does more damage than normal.
I have autodocking system.I always bump into everything when I land without it.😂
when will the video on Kerbal Space Program?
I love this game, but I'm atrociously bad at combat. Slaves is the way to go for me.
+RyanRyzzo Star Citizen is gonna make Elite obsoliete!
+patrick ahrens even if that was the case, what the fuck does this comand do on this vid or on this persons post?
+patrick ahrens how can two different game that play differently and have an entirely different scope nullify each other
answer they can't
unlike the current battlefield and call of duty games they aren't the same
+gaming with egoon cant type....
+patrick ahrens Of course it will and I m looking forward to 2050
I'm not familiar with this Horizons game, but I did buy Elite Dangerous several months back. Been side tracked with other things so I haven't had the time to get into it. Now I feel like I made a mistake in buying it if the game has moved on to a new version that I'd have to buy all over again.
The :07 trick is the "best" way to travel to anything, but when your speed gets to 6Mm/s, speed up to 100% throttle until the ETA goes to 5, then cut engines. You'll "overshoot", but if you did it right, your speed will match your distance perfectly so your speed will be under 1000km/s and your distance will be under 1000km.
+Foxon Silverfur Go to mid blue at 0:07 ETA. You'll never overshoot. Best unwritten rule.
+Robert Shockley (RDSHOCK) He was trying to describe an end-journey optimisation to shave off a few seconds.
Personally I do the 100%, 75% @0:06 thing and then when my speed is at 2.75Mm/s I'll smoothly throttle back to 100% and then down just a tiny bit so my speed is still dropping. When I get it spot on I'm just under the max speed as I travel inside the drop distance.
Oh, and whilst 0:07 is the safe way you ARE safe at an ETA of 0:06, and in fact can manage to not overshoot when it shows 0:05, but THAT is when you risk overdoing it. Assuming normal half-rounding of fractional seconds the safe window is from as low as 0:04.6 upwards (will round up to show as 0:05), but could be as high as 0:05.4 (will round down).
+Foxon Silverfur I love that a space flight sim can generate comments that you would generally see on a car tuner site. Good game!
I have a question regarding communication. Does this universe have superluminal communication methods?
I have watched all your Elite videos and as far as I can tell there seems to be no radio in space. Shame really. It would be really cool to know a little bit of the culture of a system through their music.
+slartie42 You can also direct message anyone on your friends list if they're logged in at all (even if just sat at the main menu).
But indeed, if they're NOT on your friends list and move out of local range you can no longer talk to them.
The actual (local and wing only) voice comms even have some distance drop-off/interference effects.
Scott Do you play on a specific server if so What is it :)
scott have you jump between two stars yet?
just did yesterday: lp 912-32 was the system
also RES sites are better for bounty hunting
+dafrandle just out of couriosity between two stars or between two systems?
He high waked between two stars within the first two minutes of the video, and HAZ RES is even better then that.
i have vulture and i can take out all of enemy ships so in one hour 3 million with bounty ) claimss
!!!!!!This game is so Awsomeeee!!!!!! ➰〰➰
Scott, any chance you will review Horizons or at least give your opinion on whether it's worth a purchase? There are a lot of mixed reviews so far. I loved ED when I purchased it about this time last year, but the depth of the game just hasn't seemed to have grown much. Still 100 light years wide and only 1 meter deep it seems.
well it isnt really unrealistic that it would be 100 light years wide and 1 meter deep.
Real life galxies such as our own, the milky way, is 100 000 light years wide and roughly 4 light years deep.
though completly spherical galaxies exist known as elleptical galaxies. :)
+danure Horizons is an expansion for the whole year, which means they will keep adding stuff for the whole season, content released is not all there is to it
+Jonatan Lind He's not talking about physical depth, but the depth of the gameplay.
+danure After listening to him talk about it on his livestreams, I can say with some certainty that he thinks it's worth it. He seems to really love it. Personally, I think it's overpriced and the content should honestly have been in the regular game considering its price tag. Yes, I know it's a "season pass" or whatever but I think that's bologna. The base game is fun, but sort of shallow.
Are all stars the same like our sun? I'd love to see nice blue or red ones.
+Tom Jacobs elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Stars
+Tom Jacobs Yes, there are the entire range of stars. From hot O/B/A classes, through the F/G/K mid-range down through M class red dwarfs all the way to brown dwarfs. Also Wolf-Rayett and non-main sequence (Neutron Stars, Black Holes and White Dwarfs).
A few hypergiants are in-game as well.
Do you have suggestions to be able to get to Sol. on my game i am unable to jump to the location and not sure why.
You have to get to a certain rank with whoever is in control of the system, pretty sure it is the federation, but you need like rank 3 or so with whoever it is
+lupus okami the other replier is correct, you need to join with the Federation and achieve a certain rank. Then you'll get a pass (sorta like a passport/entry visa) that allows you to enter the home system. Then you can visit Earth and all the other planets. Don't think you can land on any yet though, that'll probably be added later.
+lupus okami As others said, you need to rank up with Federation to get the required Permit.
DRM is alive and kicking and apparently unbreakable on FSD/navigation systems in 3301.
Ath Athanasius lol @ DRM alive and well. Does seem odd that it would be possible to restrict access to an entire system through computer code. I would think you could buy a bootleg code, or a module that fools the system. Sorta like buying a fake passport on the black market.
Having a small problem with horizons, everytime i try to land i wont drop into a glide and the game will turn my pc off. Does anyone have any ideas? a google search provided no answers
+William Vazquez Are you running and AMD graphics card? There was an overheating bug in some recent drivers that might trigger a computer shutdown. Also, make sure your PSU has enough power, try running a GPU benchmark and seeing if that causes similar problems.
No,I am using Nvidia ( GTX 765m),will try they benchmark programme
Scott Manley
Well after doing one benchmark (heaven benchmark tool) on max quality my computer shut down,then after letting it cool and trying again on lowest quality it did not shut down.
+William Vazquez Sounds like either a thermal or power related shutdown.
Scott Manley
Is there any way to fix this problem or is it not possible?
whats with the lack of ksp videos mates
what controller are you using scott?
More of this
I have only been playing the game for a while, so far only really making money off of smuggling, where would I go if I wanted more legit cargo jobs? I seem to be in a part of space that mostly independant.
Also what seems to be the general consensus on Horizons? I was surprised to find out how much it costs, I thought it was just a content patch...
It's an expansion of content, that means that it isn't complete yet, but it will get new features, like multicrew, player customization... If you think that horizons isn't worth yet, then wait for a good sale.
+morcova If you have a ship that doesn't have a lot of cargo space you might want to trade rare items. There are websites that will tell you what systems you can find them in, and the farther you go away from the system you bought them in the more they're worth.
There are a number of websites that will help you with trading. But I'm rather old fashion, I like to find an area I like (usually around a high tech system) and then go to the various stations and write down what is in demand and what they have a supply of. I have a whole notebook filled with trading data at this point.
For example, I have one loop around Antanyamai. I buy tea in Antanyamai, then go to Bye Tyne to sell the tea and then pick up some kind of mineral (usually Silver) and bring that to Jonai to sell, then in Jonai I'll buy some consumer tech and then go back to Antanyamai to sell it there. In my cargo ship I'll usually make 180,000 per loop.
Can be pretty risky carrying a ship load of consumer tech though, because you end up losing something like 400,000 if you get wrecked.
CzarPeppers
God that gives me "Freelancer" flashbacks... thanks for the info man i'll google that stuff.
How much trading is there?
+JamesSuperEarth As much as you want, you can play without trading at all or trade the s"t of it :)
"Flying into a star is not recommended." - Scott Manley, 2015
Yeah, the sound design in this game is positively... stellar. (I'm sorry, I'll stop that now.)
And yes, you WILL spend a lot of time in Frameshift. Especially if you're a numbskull like me and pick a destination without realizing that it's at the other end of a binary-star system, a hundred and twenty thousand light-seconds away. I actually got up to four hundred times the speed of light on that trip!
Does the currently released version of Horizons have the watermark at the bottom left?
+Mister Facepalm Nope!
+The Batman Cool, thanks.
+Mister Facepalm They might've changed it in the last 24 hours, but the last time I played the watermark was there (though it said something different).
DarthRazac01 Hmm okay.
+Mister Facepalm They released a hotfix a while ago removing it.
Try doing drug smuggling from the bulletin board to get your money up, I know someone who got lucky and got 500k just from 1 trip. That way you can buy a much better ship for combat, so you can get better bountys.
Can you see your pilot from third person or inside the ship yet? No matter how silly it is it really breaks my immersion and is a deal-breaker if you can't.
It is supposed to show up during horizons so sometime 2016 you will be able to create and see your character. There are some video clips and images of it already.
Jerry Rapp That is awesome, thank you!
"Flying into a star is not recommended"

Scott, entering a strong signal source in a small ship is not flying safe.
It would be quite awesome and add to the depth and immersion of the game. If instead of magically and instantly getting credits transferret from god only knows where and magically. That it was like "incoming transmission". thanks for assisting yada yada, we will transfer money to you designated account. Like actually feeling like there is some people behind there who thanks you. But maybe thats just me.
+RMJ1984 Honestly, that's not likely. Imagine how much is going on in a city that big. Consider how much of our banking and monetary transactions are automatic even today, I can only imagine it'd be even more automated in the future.
+RMJ1984 It isn't automatically deposited into your account actually, you have to go to a station that has the faction who put up the bounty residing at it so you can claim it.
I still don't understand the point of Orbital Lines and I just turn them off as they look ugly.
line is good for coming around a planet to line up with orbiting station to hit mail slot - i use a hotkey to turm em on and off
mostly harmless XD guessing they're fans of Hitchhiker's guide.
No space game is complete without a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference!
+Selfarrested if my memory is correct (i'm getting old) mostly harmless was in the original elite on the BBC released in 84 I think but Mostly harmless the book is 92. sorry to burst that bubble if i'm correct.
+daishi5571 But the original Hitchhikers, as in radio series (and then books) was late 70s/early 80s, and is indeed where David Braben and/or Ian Bell got 'Harmless'/'Mostly Harmless' for the first two ranks from.
daishi5571
Mostly Harmless is in the original book(1979) and early episodes of Hitchiker's guide from the radio
I don't think destroying the powerplant destroys the ship anymore. I was playing a few weeks ago and all it did was cause the ship to go dead.
