Won SP game @ LVL 26 as... a Junker.

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Won SP game @ LVL 26 as... a Junker.

Third time through I decided to fund myself (almost) exclusively with Wrecks.

Not the Class 9 & Class 10 wrecks, but just the local wrecks like Patrol 27.
No long distance scrounging. Also, no cargo-only wrecks like the Bradley.

No Bar Missions. No piracy, no attacking neutrals. No Commodity Trading either.
No buying commodities and must sell any combat looted commodities at the very
first base docked, regardless of price. Sold any Cardamine or Artifacts from
wrecks at nearest pirate or junker type base, no smuggling.

At the first point in SP when you can be a Freelancer, I ran to Detroit Munitions.
Docked & Undocked @ Detroit Munitions and killed Xenos until Rogues went neutral,
(where DO all those Xenos come from in one minute, anyway?) then left 'em alone.
Surprisingly, storyline missions against Rogues didn't effect my rep much.

Began life as a wreck diver. Don't think wreck diving is easy, it isn't.
Once you leave Liberty, you are constantly being jumped by enemies. Since you
always are going off into the 'woods', they're everywhere. Random hostiles
leave you alone in bar missions, and hauling freight is on the Trade Lanes.

Throughout the game, I never needed to buy weapons at all. I only bought-

Ships (Starflyer - Defender - Crusader - Cuda - Anubis)

Countermeasure droppers & ammo

Better Thrusters

Bats & Bots. Lots of bats & bots.

Lots of ships 'donated' drone mines to me, I never needed to buy any.
Used them this time instead of Torpedoes against stationary/big targets.

Ended the game rather quickly with well over half a mil, at level 26.

Remember Junkers mine scrap more than loot stuff and what NO Bloodhound 0_0!

Ya, I do the same thing. Except I usualy bring big ticket items to the best place. Depends on the price. But I've been doing it on a MP server, and I'm the only one on the server who knows of the weaks locals! *evil laugh*

You've got to play on a major newbie server if you're the only person who knows where all of the wrecks are.

No kidding. The only times I've been able to get anything off a wreck was in the morning. I presume the server had recently restarted.
