Next idea was based on making Korolov runs, so there is some story to be red :?

Korolov Shipping
I used to make their missions to get some money in the early stages of the game, but I noticed with getting stronger, the mission failed more often O_o. There are reasons to explain this. At first I like to use the tritium cannon because it has a good punch and the Akan30 turret for good punch&omni. Beeing short on Akan30 ammo I try to hit the pirates with the tritium cannon ... of course they dont survive more than two hits, but it showed to be impossible to shoot down a wide spread fleet of 8 corsairs with a tritium ^^ so maybe 1 or 2 corsair make their way to shoot one! missle and the freigther is gone.

Certainly I could use the Akan30 or some other omniweapon to get better success, or just try to practice targetting O_o... but does it realy have to be that the freigther can't stand more than 2 rockets ? I really think that Korolov' shipping could improve the armor and shields of their precious cargo a bit... at least on the long-range mission. I would like to make Korolov missions without always changing my weapons :)

While doing the long Korolov-run there always spawned 2-3 b-liners attacking me - not the freigther. It's not the problem to differ who they target but they distract my attention off the freigther. If I would fight near the freigther I could be weakened by crossfire and often accidently shoot down the freigther because it can't nearly stand 1 shoot of my tritium cannnon. It also happened that a draken destroyer missle defense automaticly destoryed this chicken-freighter -.-

And because the freigther was destroyed again and again by the second missle of some corsair-II I realy got crazy. I destroyed the whole Korolov station. Nothing happend. No corporate cruiser, no jail forever. Okay they don't really belong to the commonwealth but not even other Korolovs where mad on me. I think there should be more punishment on me for doing such a evil deed ;)

P.S.: Saving Korolov in Charon must give a reward.

--> Evil deeds
Destroying something corporate gets a corporate cruiser on your ass and in case surving it, jail forever by docking on commonwealth. Destroying a Korolov or Domina's sisters doesnt do anything. I don't know what happens on other stations like thinkers that are actually are not commonwealth but there should at least happen "something", which would limit cruel friendly-station-farming.
For example all/some Korolov's could be mad on you and call some head-hunters. Domina Fanactis start to hunt you or a big higher-being Orb shoots disintegrator shells on you.
I also find it somewhat funny that illegal goods are just deleted out of my cargo. There should be a big fine or jail for some days that could be added to my played-for-hours/reached-galactic-core-in-gamedays counter. (this may stick to the crime system)

You may say on the Korolov part that I should just equip a omni-something and be happy about easy credits, but this story was just an impression of my feelings about them.

What do you think about the endless stream of spawns ?

What about modding wandering spawns which dont attack the player directly ?

saving the korolov station in charon does have a sort-of reward, it's dock services will still work, the loot of the enemy, and if you bust the pirates you still get a reward.

and why does the assistant commissioner of the commonwealth travel in a weak, slow, ei100? it's like the president traveling coach on an airliner in a hostile country.

yes, evil deeds should be punished.

lol, yeah. korolov should be allied with either commonwealth or corperate.
tereton nests should have their own individual "corperate cruiser", though killing one tereton should not affect the others (ie they don't care) since they are independant traders after all. However the tereton cruiser should have high firepower (maybe uber tereton only weapon?) and survivability due to the lack of jailing. makes for some nice factional diversity.

Its assistant after all, ho head commisoner. :lol:
But yes, improcving his crapy freighter to some low-end? gunship will be more logical.
