@Josey Wales Awesome, glad to hear you're still enjoying SC! I've been doing the same thing to grind some fat stacks of cash...taking my Cutty B out with a ROC strapped in the back and mining some Hadanite on Aberdeen or Arial. Super chill and fun. Prior to that, I did bounty hunting for awhile, mercenary missions on both sides of the law (It's a lot of fun to get a high crime stat and let player bounty hunters come after you. At one point, I was jumped by 3 of them. I died, but took two of the three with me), and some search/investigation missions. Some of those bounty missions, especially the planetside ones, pay really well. 30000 aUEC to clear out a cave with 8-12 bad guys in it is pretty easy money. You working toward buying a ship, and if so, which one?
Thankfully I haven't run across any pirates while mining. Hope it stays that way too. Yeah, part of the fun is just being along for the ride. 3.15 looks to be an interesting patch with the introduction of medical gameplay and localized inventory. We'll see how that all works out.
Also, feel free to add me to your in-game friends list. My name is Rambler_04 in SC.
