Is there a way to get your escorts to board disabled ships and steal what you select?
I am getting kind of sad of how picky I have to be when I am hunting pirates, so much wasted profit.

Dont think escorts can be directed to board anyone.

that needs to be a thing, dont see why that isnt an option seeing how they work for you.

I just wish that your own vessels could go to other systems and do trading runs for you or combat missions stuff like that and can bedestroyed in the process.

I know. I haven't played a game like this in so many years. I never knew what the original was called so I haven't been able to find many.

the same with me to, i use to play a game like this for a while but then i couldent find it back after i forgot about this. im spending lotsa time on this great game.
hunting pirates seems like a crazy way to make money. Money via trading is mind-boggling. Pull about a million per minute or so. With hunting it's more fun but it takes forever and then the idiots come in and shoot everything.

Get a bank loan. Buy a ton of frieghters. Find a profitable trade route (the most important part), and go back and forth and back and forth and the money just keeps rolling in. After paying off that loan get another loan, buy more ships. And after paying that off get another loan and more ships and it's an ever increasing earning capacity.

I doubt you can get to 1Billion credits with pirate hunting, but with trading it's certainly feasible I've gotten to 800Million just with trading on a route that was 2 jumps between 2 planets. Took about 4 hours or so. And there are probably much more efficient ways to do it because I'm not that good.

Best way is lotting Quarg ships. All the equipment worth 118M, and you can disable one every minute.

what is this Quarg ship? and btw if i am correct, you can make money from controlling plannets, so im going to try to take over pirate plannets as soon as my combat raiting increases by 1 and i pay off my 10m in Death benifits. and im bearly paying it off.

The technological Gods of the game.
120k shield, weapons with 3k of damage and that kind of ♥♥♥♥ xDD

Controlling planets gives you from 500 to 1000 credits per day, so for me it's not worth it.

if you controlled the hole univers it would bring in some dough though
Vain Nov 5, 2015 @ 4:38pm 
200.000 a day, maybe?
That's nothing when you can steal from the Quarg.
I mean, it's not worth the effort.

are the Quarg apart of the navy?

The previous game some years ago was called Escape Velocity (Override and Nova expansions). Endless Sky adds many improvements.
