    I still wanna try out the Viper mkIV.

    The Cobra is nice yes, also for pirating as it actually has cargo space.

    Considering all the time I've spent bounty hunting, I have used my Viper mkIII for about 80% of that, and I have made about 10mil earnings. So it's a good choice yeah.

    So, next question then. What is the benefit of doing long distance travel if you are not doing trading or exploring. I mean I get the further travel will nett you higher profit from trading and exploring, but seeing as I'm still doing bounty hunting, what's the point? Is there a benefit that I'm not aware of, or can I just pick a system and grind the Nav Beacon for bounties?

    Exactly this.

    Apart from maybe siding and grinding for the purpose of reputation and rank. Most of the federation systems I end in now are allied and friendly with me. I don't believe there is a need for you to travel. I like to find a little nest outside of a popular player based system and visit it occasionally to get good equipment as the higher tech and larger systems will have the good stuff.

    indeed. I just change my hunting ground now and again for the change of scenery. And I like a system where the nav beacon and the station are relatively close together.

    Well, powerplay is a big part of why some people move around. To conquer new systems for their faction and such. There are also those who just wish to rank up in a specific faction like I do. And to do that you have to travel a reasonable distance.

    I should probably add that being allies with many systems has it's perks. Smuggling becomes a lot easier among other things. As well as the rewards you get for bounty hunting. Right now for every ship I destroy I get about 40% bonus for deoing it in a system where I am ranked high. Which is really nice.
