Move faster

The other way is to carry a bigger gun and a Harder ship

The life of the Lost Man is a long one....

Okay, so now I can get into Omega 41. Only to find that it's absolutly flanked with Hessians in sabres. This is IMPOSSIBLE. I don't have the money to buy a better ship, and I'd have to go back a LOOOOOONG way to do it.

There's got to be an easier way...

Try to get in good with the hessians. You wont make it into the border worlds alive if those groups hate you unless you got a ship at least as powerful as they do. They tend to gang you, 5-1 and you wont live long. Especially around the jumpholes they end up being 10-1.

ha, i snuck into omciron theta with a barracuda, all you really have to do is swtich characters when your get raped by corsairs/hessians

Comments like this make me laugh. Gimme a break...this game is absurdly easy.

I've been playing about 7 days...I now have one of the best ships in the game, class 8 and 9 weapons, class 9 shield, and half a million credits. I used no exploits or cheats, and much of my time was spent simply exploring.

After level 12 or 13, the game gets very very easy. You can make 35 or 40k a mission easy (I did it in Bering, but there are several places you can do this). Oh, and all on a 56k connection. It's not that hard. As I recall that area has a huge asteroid field...easy to dodge cruise disruptors in those. Just run right past them.

It can indeed be hard to get there. I died once getting from Omega-11 to Omega-41 and that was only because I went left after taking 11->41 Jump Hole, and ran in to the most lethal cloud I've ever seen in this game. However I'd recommend using a class 7-8 Graviton-based shield, and some GMG Skyblast A guns since Hessians use Positron-based shields. Once you get there, head south on the map and look for a large Asteroid. Should be Leon Base. Oh you need to be at least nuetral with the Corsairs, accomplished by killing Hessians...lots of Hessians. Do not run from the Hessians, they will use disruptors if you try to cruise, and boosters will not shake them, not to mention you'll waste your shield bateries by the time you turn around and attempt fighting =P Now that I'm in there, I've been doing $235k missions with ease. If you're going there with a Freighter, expect to die swiftly.

Ummmm, as others have said....move faster, get a better ship....go back the long way if you have too...you'll get there...or you could find me online on the Elite server...I could give you a little help ($$$)

Yeah damn hard in these regions


Damn Noobs, they follow you really everywhere ....


And than even from the navy, those suckers are really everywhere ...


Yes, even me was once a noob ... on my way to kill corsairs for some money in omicron theta ...

For those that do not recognise the system where those pictures are taken, its omicron theta, near freeport 9.

if you constantly get killed by NPCs, you must either be doing something really wrong, or need to upgrade your ship. For one account, I upgraded once to the defender, and I was okay till I upgraded to transport, then to the VHF. Yes, I flew all the way to Malta and back in a defender, and it was a smooth trip since I happened to be neutral to everyone (slaughtering navy + cops in Liberty space is easy and quick).
Reaching the border worlds shouldn't be that bad unless you travel both alone, in a vastly weaker ship, and have pissed off the hessians something awful. Try killing police or rheinland navy if you still have trouble; that may alleviate your pirate woes. Barring that, you could tag along with a high lvl player.
