Concerning the missions. Their difficulty level were made to enforce teamplay. Get other Corsair players to do missions.
My nice lil experience story were Outcast NPC's in Eta. I came across a Corsair player in missions and was helping him. I wasn't aware, that they are all equipped with Inferno's and the NPC buggers know how to use them and after the first surprise, loosing your shield instantly, mines floating in. I survived the surprise, but the repair bill wasn't cheap.:rolleyes:
So everyone has a hard time in edge and hidden worlds, when player count is low.
heh,take mission on BS Isis for 270 000$ and then 4 BH destroyers show up and bunch of fighters.
Or assasination mission also for 200k-280k and then guy shows up in BH destroyer and has another 3 destroyer escorts.
Border worlds npc's are pretty nasty ones.
I know I should have read the whole thread but basically, if you want simpler corsair missions, go against the Hessians out of Leon. The missions are easier and don't make you friendly with the Outcasts or Hessians etc.
If you like a challenge, do the missions in Gamma against the BH. If you're really tough, fly around Delta for a bit shouting "All BH are wimps".
