Conflict Zone - What's the gain compared to a Hi-Res?

[SeeJay]

Hi all.

Last night I arrived in the Kunti System. It has both Hi-Res and a Conflict Zone present.
I mostly do Bounty Hunting for cash and thought I'd try out a Conflict Zone (Warzone)
to see if that pays well.

It seems that I would earn much more working in a Hi-Res area. (Just killed a few to see the pay
in the CZ, appr 100K for a Anaconda). Is there any other reason to work in a Conflict Zone?
I guess you might earn ranks with a faction, but I don't care about that atm.

Thanks in advance for any input on the matter.

Conflict Zones usually have much higher ranked pilots, and it is the fast track to Elite in combat.

I don't think that it gives any reputation (minor or major) changes, though. At least not being involved, anyway. Turning in the vouchers does have rep effects.

CZ gives more constant targets but less payout per kill. I tend to take different ships/loadouts depending on which i'm entering.

BHing in a Hi or Haz RES will usually get you more credits/hour, but personally i prefer the pace of the CZ. non-stop action.

Taking part in conflict zones lets you influence wars or civil wars. You also get to see capital ships if a major faction is involved in an invasion. The reputation effects seem to be weird, I've been losing rep with the faction I've been fighting for.

I think, currently, it's something like the faction with higher system influence between the two gets the rep+, rather than the faction you're fighting for.
Just a hunch, though. Only been in two long enough to see any numbers change.

For money... CZ honestly I think are a a bit lame... and thats being polite!

I recently killed a Deadly Python for a grand total of 46k.

And the ships in confict zones are tougher, as they tend to have stronger armour.

Killing an equivilent ranked Python in a Haz Res normally nets me 200k.



But for me... CZ is much much more fun.

Just a pitty no one is paying me! (Yup I've tried getting kill missions but they are so rare I can never find them, I know you used to be able to stack a bunch and make more) Mercenary should be a "thing" like ;)

Nah, but there are lots of nuances.... and also, don't trust those little triangles, they don't give reliable information.

Far too much to go into here though over reputation and influence.

Dude I went to HIP 74290 in the beta where the Ankh Guards and One Man One Vote are having a scrap, and the Vetinari faction were offering me 5 kill missions at once :-]

Thanks everyone. Think I'll hang around mixing WZ and Hi-Res combat to gain some cash
and needed combat training. Can't get enough of that! ;-)

I think you mean Hi-Intensity RES. Not Hi-RES lol

[SeeJay]

Well, I thought that there were 3 types of RES that people refer to. All is about intensity.

- Low-RES (Low Intensity)
- Hi-RES (High Intensity)
- Haz-RES (High Intensity/No "police force")

;-)

correct, but you forgot the plain RES lol no high,low or haz so 4 types in total :)

[sidrat]

LINT Res - Low
HINT Res - High
HAZNT Res - Haz.

Those words are near perfect, lint is what you find in your belly button for some reason. Hint gives your combat piloting skills a work out and HAZNT because I've not been in one yet.

I prefer the combat zones for a fix of RP and reputation increase to the corporation and faction.
