Ok, I took one of my fighters in to earn money by doing missions on crete against BH. There were lots of players there and I asked if they were interested in doing group missions. They all said no...and what-not. They just stayed above crete talking and dueling each other.
Now I know npc's are not as challenging as players but has everyone stopped doing group missions against npc's? I see large pvp fights but I don't see any pvnpc fights. Does everyone think that group missions against npc's are no fun anymore? Or did I just ask the wrong people?
The mission I did after that was not easy...I was in a talon. First up were about 5 hammerheads...then came 4 battlecruisers...then 10 more hammerheads to assist the cruisers(all the hammerheads were lvl 19 too). Help would have been nice...and the server not crashing before I was done would have been nice too. (though I know I can do nothing about that)
Am I crazy for thinking multiplayer should involve player vs npc's just as much as pvp? I think working with other players doesn't have to be just working with other players against other players.
When I started on disco i was having a lot of fun chasing Rogue mule (full of gold) trough Cortez.
With low-level ships, fights against NPC's can be very fun.
But not just fights, but also robbing convoys and similar.
I was doing this for 10 days at least, with a friend. Also, while you'r doing it, you manage to explore whole systems.
I know it wasn't fun in my Titan against 3 Battlecruisers... It lasted for some 40 minutes.. I was barely holding together, returned it with only one wing on Crete:)

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.
I know there are some half-mil missions out there, fairly easy as well. It would be a good idea to get a friend and start wailing on some NPCs.
I've done it a bunch before, but not anymore sadly. :(
"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."

Fairly easy?
You kidding right... take a 500k mission in your Sabre/Titan... then go there.. and meet two groups of 4 BHG Battlecruisers.. with Manta cover...
not really easy.. though if you have mini razor.. it mostly tests your dodging/patience.

I did a half-mil mission where they just kept sending wave after wave of mantas. Finally after something like 6 waves it stopped. I probably just got lucky, but the easy ones do exist.

I once got a mission from Falklands for my Gunstar: revard was 365K and I had to assassinate one guy... Came there, killed the guy, went back... 365K...;)

It does test your patience greatly. Though in this mod I use a razor, but in previous mods there was no razor. But I will never ever forget the fight I had years ago. I was in a starblazer(or startracker I cant remember) and just for the whatever of it I took on a mission that was very high level. It ended up being my startracker with like level 4 or 5 barragers against two rheinland battleships!
You wanna talk patience....you want to talk about pain....that was it. I won..but I didn't play fl for a good time after that, and boy did my hand hurt. :D Dont ask how long it took...several hours to say the least.
I remember once when I took a 500k mission in Omega 49. I was in a Manta with a Minirazor and no armor upgrade. It turned out that the mission was to kill Eight OSIRISES it took me an hour, missing dinner, and a loud lecture from my parents about "priorities", but I finally finished it.
