The highest payed jobs I know of are ones given to you by the Corsairs on Planet Crete (Omicron Gamma), and by the Outcasts on Planet Malta (Omicron Alpha). These can be quite difficult, and are always against the Bounty Hunters Guild. If you want a slightly easier job (you get less pay, but its still over 100,000), then go to Tripoli Shipyard (Omicron Gamma). Missions there are still against the BH.

"Fear me, for I am your Apocalypse"

the best missions for BH r by freeport 5, sometimes they pay 105k (very sometimes). but i do mostly missions from crete or malta (better payment), from 90k to sometimes 250k a mission.

I have never had a mission in Omicron Gamme or Alpha where the pay was under 100K. Thanx to that place, I was positively rollin' in money (enough to buy back the favour of the bounty hunters and still keep the outcasts/corsairs happy), as well as buying the best of everything!

"Fear me, for I am your Apocalypse"

In which system is Freeport 5, and who do you kill for the BHG there?

Be warned: some of the Freeports can't be found (and I don't just mean 7). I think there are two missing; perhaps they were either deliberately left out so they can be added as extra content in the expansion, or they got killed by Nomads like Freeport 7.

"Fear me, for I am your Apocalypse"

freeport 5 is in omega-41 (u know, the neutronstar system)

How close can you actually get to the star? Do you burn up like normal, or is it just uber-intense radiation?

"Fear me, for I am your Apocalypse"

just select the neutron star (if u for the first time in this system, select the black-looking unknown planet)

and select fly to, and let it see how far u come

if the astroids (destroyed planets by the blast of the supernova (if it was smaller it will only collapse into mostly a white dwarf, some bigger collapse and exploded outer ring (inner ring will be a pulsar (neutronstar)), bigger will get bigger blasts (supernova) and the pulsar will weight more, till a critical point is reached and then u get a blackhole)) field stops the radiatoin is very strong, i think 3 or 4 times ass trong ass in the field.. so think about it wen u will be by the star...

ps. there's no escaping from a black hole if ur to close, u must get faster then the light, and if u able to do that u will be disapeared into time (u will be death anyway)

Hey, I didn't ask for an astronomy lecture, I just wanted to know if the radiation is lethally huge and if there is a sun burn zone.
btw, are there any black holes in the game?

"Fear me, for I am your Apocalypse"

I have visited all of the systems in the SP, and haven't found a black hole. If you fly at the sun you will burn up. trust me, ispeak from experience. Unless it is the neutron star then the radiation will get you before the heat.

No black holes. I think you can make one though, as there's a blackhole.ini in the game files.

The radiation near the Neutron star is tough, no corona burn.

The autopilot doesn't dodge the high-radiation zone.

I flew through the danger area with an Eagle, used nanobots when armor dropped past 50%, and I had to use them 2 or 3 times.

So nothing fatal, but dangerous for sure.

Oh yeah, the neutron stad oesn't have that sun corona, but it does have an atmosphere. It's a planet instead aof a star actually.

If the rads there are stronger than the rest of the systm, that's gotta be bad; I flew around the rest of the system hunting Hessians and the rad damage was bad enough, even with me using my Titan Mk.II (mod). I barely made it through the minefield! lol

"Fear me, for I am your Apocalypse"

Looking into this thread, I almost expected to see another load of Bull****. But, actually, everything here seems to be truthful. No, there are no black-holes (though I believe there was a blackhole .ini file). And the Neutron star doesn't give off any heat (that is, it won't burn your ship), but the radiation is high enough to kill most ships who venture too close.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

i didn't knew that the neutron star had a atmosfhere... but whatever... it's just a game...

be happy u was flying with an eagle trou that flied, i did it more times with a dragon... and that's not fine , i was first flying witha VHF, but i like now flying in kusari fighters... even with the drake trou omega-41 and omega-11 (both high radiation systems)

and sorry for that cosmic story..

if u don't read that between () it would only say that i think the radiation is about 2, 3 or 4 times as strong as in the astroid field
