    I wish they would update the Steam launcher to allow you to select 64bit. Right now I have to launch via the folder and so it doesn't track my stats in Steam.

    I think on Friday I made 5mil in bounties in an hour and a half. I only stopped because it wasn't increasing my faction rank anymore.
    So, speaking of which, I assume you are talking about the Combat Zones. I've not had the guts/balls to venture into those yet, and I feel that my ship is not strong enough to last long in one of those.

    My question is, what is the difference in Low Density and High Density Combat zones, and when would be a good time to start thinking about going to these?

    Start in a low density, with a Viper mkIII you should be perfectly fine. Remember to pick a faction when dropping into it though (you do this from the right panel).

    You will rack up combat bonds from Conflict Zones, which will be redeemed from contacts at the controlling factions station (or is it any station in the system?). This is a good way to earn credits and reputation, but not rank if I remember correctly.

    When I launch it through Steam I don't have any options for selecting which version to run. My RAM usage never goes over 3gb when playing through Steam, so I suspect it just defaults to 32-bit.

    Nah not combat zones, Resource Extraction Sites. You can find them around most planets that have metal rings. A great system to start in is LTT 15574, because it has several High Rez sites close to a station to turn in bounties. Basically when you enter a Rez site it spawns a bunch of miners, pirates and authority ships (but no police in HazRez). It then continues spawning new ones. If you're in HiRez you can just hang around and wait for the police to start shooting at pirates and then join in.

    Combat zones are fun and not very difficult, but the payout is usually much less per ship than bounty hunting.

    Ahhh, was wondering what the hell that Combat Bonds were all about. I thought it had something to do with CQC mode of the game. I'll try a low intensity zone and see what's what.

    Oh, okay I got that wrong then. So resource zones are good for bounty hunting as well. That's good to hear because I'm getting a bit bored with the Nav Beacon hunting, and the ships spawning there is really easy to beat. So I assume that high rex sites spawns higher ranked and bigger ships than low rez zones then....

    No I made an average of 500k per run when I still had to return to base for reloads. that 116k was for 1 kill

    I stuck my toe in a low conflict and it got ripped off. need more shield/hull upgrades before I try conflict zones again. might go policing some resource sites tonight
