By the time you're Elite, you won't care who tries to kill you. :)

I need to install the highest level of the ToughGuys OXP and join the pirate crowd. :twisted: It would sure teach me how to survive. Besides, killing is, well, kinda fun. Besides, it's just a game. I can always use OoCheat to become clean agian... :twisted:

Not only are they extremely bad-assed, but also very fussy about who they let join them. They could make the Navy look like pussycats. :P

Whatever I do, except keep things the way they are, it seems like Oolite is about to get harder. :D

Harder equals more challenging and hence more rewarding. As your skill increases, the game can keep up, which is one of the great things about it.

Yep. If I need to, I could make those rouge pirates outnumber the vipers and regular pirates put together (but I'm sure that's not a good idea)! 8)

I've just changed my vote.
KILL KILL KILL! DEATH! I DON'T CARE IF IT'S IN GALNAVY!
I am a pirate now. I'll even kill other pirates. Makes the game more fun.

Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

I'm a lunatic. From the point I departed from Lave academy til the point I got my fore+aft beam lasers and fuel scoops I was a nice guy. But soon as I got those 3 named items, I was a mean person. I will pick a fight with any lone pilot, I will pick a fight with any cop. If I see a python/anaconda/boa with it's entourage... I will pick fight.

When I ironassed my first cobra m3, I flew my worthy booty to the Royal Hunting Lodge. I only took suicidal fights, 10:1. Roughly 1.3mil credits later. I traded that coby 3 for a nice Neolite Fer-De-Lance with a Naval energy unit. Ironassed that bad boy.

Now I just carry a full supply of Qbombs and an energy bomb on store for the real tough situation. Oh yes, I join the navy for their infiltration of Thargoid's... but only to let loose some qbombs and destroy the behemoths and frigates. The thargoids are for ME to kill!

It's easy manual docking, and flying with 120+ bounty on your head into the main station.. but I've been doing it since I got them witch drive injectors.

Maybe I should try out that toughguy oxp.
Watch out Galactic associates.. Qbomb down the hatch.

Captain Neebs, you're my kind of guy! :D
Your history is very similar to mine. I was a good guy, for a VERY long time, even flew several uberships (okay, I'll admit I hacked my savefile to get the money for my first Caduceus, but all my other sips were legitimately bought, and I removed the millions I gave myself). But recently I became a killer. :twisted:
