A Bit Of A...Shift...

[Unseelie]

well....haven't noticed any difficulty...
the damn things can and will dodge cds...
try swatting them with your tail
works like a charm.
also, if you hear 'incoming missile' its probably a good idea to engine kill....nobody expects a train to fly in reverse at 340 m/s, chainfireing 7 adv debby turrets and fireing train cd's into their nova torpedos.

what I have found:
1: cm need to be spammed....you should restock at every time you land.
2:asteroids work wonders...great for counfounding missiles...everyone expects to be able to outmaneuver a transport...oh, and, 'bouncing' of of rocks makes you rather unpredictable.
3:threats help...no one wants their entire faction bountied...and the entire npc affiliation...people back off and apologize
4:Mercs...pay them per kill, but don't hire enough to make it easy, you want an hour, 2 hours of these mercs keeping the pirates busy, or, pay them per successful pass.
5: comms chatter is fun....distract them...sophie is a great at it...talks RM into defending her through Rheinland:$....
