    It is if my memory serves. The more you do a certain aspect the harder those mission types become. The bounty target might be in an Eagle now but do a lot more and you'll see they will start to be targets of Imperial Cutters and Pythons.

    But that's the thing. I have only managed to kill a single ship, and that one interdicted me and was fortunately quite weak. When I go to LOW conflict zones, enemies all Master and Expert. But more frustratingly, even if I select a "kill mission" of lowest mission rank, the enemies I encounter are all Master and Expert, so can't kill them.

    Git gud!

    but actually, your rewards will be that much greater for disposing of a killer that is much higher ranked than you are. Get a kill warrant scanner and do some scanning/killing.

    I would ditch the fuel tank for a smaller one, but I'm really worried about hitting a patch of dead stars several Ly out. It's happened before and apparently FuelRats don't operate that far out of the bubble.

    Although it's currently still vanilla. I am basically penniless and doing bland data delivery missions to rustle up cash. I tried a few "kill XYZ" missions but they went badly. Doesn't make sense, the mission rank says "Harmless" but when I get to combat zone, the enemies are all MASTER/EXPERT/ELITE.

    Why is the enemy difficulty not tied to mission rank ?
    I'm not sure. I don't think I've ever done combat missions, tbh. If I were you I'd do some bounty hunting in Nav beacons and HiRes sites. Just wait for the police to engage targets and then open fire. You should easily be able to take on anything up to Cobras in a Viper MKIII if you know what you're doing. A Cobra MKIII usually averages about 50k bounty per pop, sometimes lower depending on the rank. If you're feeling ballsy you can take a few shots at bigger ships like Clippers, Pythons and Anacondas and then fly a few km away and wait for the feds to finish them off. Provided you got enough shots in it will still give you the bounty. Those ships are rarely under 100k and I've had some go as high as 350k.

    And then once you've got enough you can upgrade to a Vulture and then the money just starts pouring in. I think the Vulture might even be better than the Imperial Clipper I upgraded to.

    I dunno, I've read stories of the 'Rats travelling thousands of LY out to save someone in need. Some occasions they've stayed up like 17 hours just do to a rescue.

    I haven't played in quite some time, but if I remember correctly, I fully upgraded my Hauler and I could do 32 LY jumps. A cheap ship with nice jump range.

    Do you play on X1 or PC?

    Both, though mostly on PC as I have a better setup. Also I don't have XBL membership to play in Open on Xbox.
