So I've got a merc...

Problem is, when I'm on, most of the corsairs and OC aren't on either, and if they are, there not hanging out in Eta. Even worse, all the bounties offered by both of the factions do not include their capital systems (meaning I can't collect the bounties on Alpha or Gamma, which is where, almost all, of these guys are).

That is another reason why you should try one of the smaller factions.

Say you choose the Outcasts. All of the Corsairs will be camping in Gamma in a large fleet around Crete. Not an option to attack. So, you have to wait for them to move. But, they all move together, so as soon as they see you, you're screwed.

I suggest working for the Mollys. Don't ask why, I just suggest it.
