capturing ejected pilots and selling them as slaves is the coolest thing ever
OMG I LOVE THAT. I think that is one of the most innovative, coolest features I've ever come across in a game.
Here's what I love to do:
I loaded up my buster with a freight scanner and cargo life support, as well as good shields/weapons/engines, etc... Then I pirate the pirates. I watch the shipping lanes to pirate bases and scan the transports incoming on those lanes, when the illegal cargo is detected the freighter is usually recognized as an enemy allowing me to blast away without worrying about losing race rank (in fact I've been getting mad race rank points scanning smugglers and blasting them), then I blast away their shields and give them some moderate hull damage and more often then not the pilot ejects. Pick up the pilot, claim the ship, sell the slave, sell or use the ship, and gain race rank points. Fun and lucrative... X3 how i love thee.

niiiice! had no idea you could do that!
that sounds really fun...some time i aughta try that. now i just got a ppair of mercury super freighters trolling the friendly skies of the argon inner empire. i have grandoise plans though, such as one by one conquering all the races of the x universe. to be even more evil, i want to destroy all the factories theren and replace them with my own and of course, thanks to you, i can be equally evil by selling the resistors as slaves

MSI Albatron SLI motherboard, 1024 MB Kingston lowlatency RAM, AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice core with ATi Radeon Xpress 200 graphics chipset, Connect3d x800xl 512 MB, Antec 400 watt powersupply
I did that in the first X, after completing the game and getting so powerful there was nothing left to do.i have grandoise plans though, such as one by one conquering all the races of the x universe.
I went through each sector with a swarm of fighters and cleaned them out. In the end it was just me, the shipyards, and unbeleivabe amounts of spawning Xenon fighters.
Mind you, I used to have to hide behind one of my stations or an asteroid if I wanted to stop, because just stopping with a wall of fighters on your tail all trying to follow you tended to be a terminal experience
