any expert spaceflies hunter?
I need know the quickest way to scoop bunch of spaceflies and which location. I only got few at light of heart and tried hydra, it didnt do good. I am thinking of remove shields to collect better. What about nova? I could have a frieghter follow me and frieghter beam whenever cargo full? Flies only get stunned for few sec then fly around, so I guess I couldnt use frieghter to collect wares? I have couple of AI priates ships and split caimans sitting at my trading station waiting for more spaceflies in stock lol.

Well, spaceflies come to you if you sit still for a couple minutes. They're often flying around my M6 when I've been sitting in a wharf/shipyard for awhile doing shopping or buying new transports. But is there really much money in spacefly hunting? If you get your combat rank up to Ace 2nd grade you can get 1.3-1.6 mil apiece for assassination missions. And if you can afford a Hydra, you can probably afford a Nemesis or Osprey.

Cloudbase SE has a swarm and a pirate base to sell at.
arm only one gun as to not run your energy down.
Iam no expert and get 10 to 15 per try-not a lot of $ but its something fun for awhile. I jump on them when they happen by. Youll drive yourself nuts just sitting waiting or actively looking for them.
I just wish the cargobay would stay open. If i wanted the **** thing closed, I would close it. Ahhhh maybe 1.5 or 2.0 or what ever.
Dont try with wingmen---new AI isnt perfect.
Any space "spanish" fly?

Human knowledge has always exceeded human intellegence.
I plan to scoop like 300-400 spaceflies and put in my frieghter. I had luck getting 11. So I went to my trading station for selling. Then priates and split came. One of them brought all and others are waiting for me to get more. Here screenshot of my trading station to see who land there.

So if I have 300-400, sure I will make millions, thats why I wanna scoop as bunch in short time. I am going try remove shield off my barccuda or nova to see if it can scoop without me pressing O every time I got 1 fly.

I could let you try this and find out the hard way, but then again ...I am going try remove shield off my barccuda or nova to see if it can scoop without me pressing O every time I got 1 fly.
Pressing 'O' opens the cargo bay, which incidentally disables your shields.
If you don't have any shields then you still have to open the cargo bay to collect stuff.
ah, yeah thats right pressing O is for open cargo bay otherwise flies would be hitting my hull. Ok, now I have come up w/ idea. I am going to fly barrcuda using ion around and have my split python to follow me. I have noticed python always pick up stuff even w/ shield up or cargo bay close. So it should scoop a bunch which I guess it only way since python is good choice cuz of speed and wider.
Dont forget you need to install a spacefly catcher to enable you to pick them up. Also the ship doesn't really matter as you can only pick one up at a time.
I find the Nova is good for it and remember to keep stunning the group or they'll disappear pretty quickly.

Best thing to do is get capturing at pirate bases as I always seem to get swarms of them right in the middle of battling with a large fleet. One word of warning though is to be very careful when picking them up as I've been killed numerous times when my cargo is open to pick one up and I take a missile hit.
