Took the SRV out last night for some bounty fun with the org mates. Never thought I’d have so much fun in an unarmed ship.

A couple of us were in combat ships, taking out the ERT bounties. Another ran a cargo ship. I piloted the SRV. Combat ships would knock down the bounties, preferably soft deathed. Any ships with decent cargo, I’d tow up to orbit and drop the ramp/lift. We’d transfer the cargo over, then make a run over to a salvage outpost and sell it.

Being unarmed put me in a position where I could concentrate on the big picture of the fight, while keeping an eye out for new hostiles. If we ever get the chance, upgrading the sensors on it would be my first component upgrade on it as a result (don’t believe that’s gonna happen). Towing the ships themselves wasn’t complicated, but the mechanics involved mean I couldn’t just tractor up to a Connie and horse on it without breaking the connection.

Update: apparently folk don’t realize ERT bounty missions aren’t players, but instead criminal NPCs. No players were harmed during the evening’s events.

Can you tow and salvage Idrii you may encounter in Extreme Threat Combat Assists?

An Idris is likely too large. Tried towing a Reclaimer off the surface, without success: “Volume exceeded.” If a Reclaimer is too large, an Idris has to be.

Mhm, then perhaps two or three xD

But imagine the amount of RMC you could get by scraping an Idris.
