Fit an Ion Disruptor and stun them. Once stunned simply open cargo bay and fly into like any other cargo.

What's the most 'hops' you guys can score with an ION-D in a cloud of spaceflies? I've gotten at least 6 before. The lightning arced right off into the distance practically.

Are you sure? If that's true I'm off to buy some collectors for myself. What about Ore collector. Maybe it's a good idea to equip personal ships with all possible and useless equipment to minimize chances of losing a piece of valuable stuff?

I do just that. As its clear that 'equipment' in X2 is actually ablative armor strapped to the outside of your hull, I buy all I can. Mineral scanners, ore collectors, freight scanners, cargo life support, and fuzzy dice. Don't leave home without em.

If only someone made a script to reduce/eliminate equipment damage when you have significant shields remaining.

trader levels are to the right of their names in the ship descriptions.

you have to have the updated Trade MK III software. or BPH script.

Once the ship you want to check is highlighted, press i.

You will see the level after the pilot's name like this
Strung out on Britain's high, hitting an all time low

The problem is, you start losing your "ablative armour" before your shield goes down, whereas without them you don't have anything to lose! :wink:
