Bounty hunting
You like space combat and progressing through ranks.
Open in the Copilote →To get started
- An armed ship (a light fighter is enough for the first ranks)
- The contract manager, Bounty tab
Progression
01 · Getting startedLow-rank bounties: lone, lightly armed targets. You learn to manage shields and power.
Examples : Arrow, Aurora Mk II, Avenger Titan
Examples : Arrow, Aurora Mk II, Avenger Titan
02 · Stepping upMid ranks: better-armed targets, sometimes escorted. Upgrade your weapons and shield.
Examples : Gladius, F7C Hornet
Examples : Gladius, F7C Hornet
03 · Going furtherHigh ranks and player bounties: you need a tough ship and often a wingman.
Examples : Vanguard, Super Hornet
Examples : Vanguard, Super Hornet
Mistakes to avoid
- Jumping to high ranks too fast
- Forgetting to repair and rearm between missions
- Staying still in combat: keep moving and keep your shield facing the enemy
Copilot's noteComponents (shield, cooling, weapons) matter as much as the ship: compare loadouts before buying.
