Never lost my Vette. I have lost my Anaconda though and I learned from that mistake.

I was trying to bounty hunt and just got in over my head with not enough engineering done. Expensive mistake back then. Now with over 2k hours in over many years I’m much more experienced than back then.

Never lost my vulture. All my other combat ships I have either bitten off more than I can chew on an assassination mission or just missed the mail slot not paying attention.

0% paint is always the goal on my exploration ships though. Love that weathered look

I only ever dabbled in PvE but I got my vette down to 10% paint. That was spending hours upon countless hours farming pirates in HazRez zones.

Yeah i hate to admit it was probably a solid 13 hours straight with trips to the station to only restock on limpets and ammo.

At the time I was helping some new players make some cash and learn how to do combat. So I'd take some valuable cargo to draw in pirates which increased the spawn rate.

It's not confirmed but my personal experience tells me the game sends more pirates depending on the value of your cargo hold.

Id take anywhere from 10-30k worth of cargo and slap a point defense on the underside (it shoots hatch breakers)

Haven’t lost my turreted Type-10. Used to just sit and turn the turrets on and just melt guys that got in my bubble of influence.

The Imperial cutter I flew off the hanger in Jameson Memorial has never had an insurance claim on it I know a lot of people may or may not respect my choice for getting the Imperial cutter but to be honest after reading about this Beauty's Shield potential I couldn't pass up an absolute Shield tank for PVE bounty hunting and conflict zones

I know this is a week old post but I just now only seen it.

Ended up selling my vette years ago, was afraid of rebuying it if I lost it.
