Anti-greenpeace: spacefly hunting

Post by SkyLeach » Sun, 2. Apr 06, 16:02

I just saw a msg in the BBS saying that a large swarm of spaceflies had been spotted in Bala G's Joy. I want to harvest them in my elephant with my spacefly collector.

Can anyone give tips on 1.) finding them, 2.) capturing them with a collecotr.

I know that i can use IDs to stun them but is there any other tips anyone can give me?

Sounds like you pretty much have the basics down.

......keep an eye open for cops.

Unless you are in split space, where spacefly collecting is legal, or pirate/unknow sectors were no-one gives a monkey's. But if I were you, I'd use something smaller, faster and nimbler then an elephant. Spaceflies don't stay shocked for long, so being able to get to them quick is a distinct advantage if you want to capture as many of them as possible.

The spacefly collector claims to "lure" them into the hold, so I was hoping to go trawling. I have a mamba with a transporter to do the stunning but I was kindof hoping that the elephant could scoop up a few on it's own while I was directing my fire.
