    Shelly: Why?
    Mac: good question, just wanted to try it
    Shelly: Was it difficult?
    Mac: pretty easy using both weapons you can get on most small scapecraft even up to Guardians. The ship cant be healed in flight so off to the space station to heal the ship.
    Shelly: cost?
    Mac: the weapons use a lot of ammo, travel time, thruster decay. The ship lost about 3 ped tt of decay after killing about 55 of them.
    Shelly: other downsides?
    Mac: space pvp, crap loot (same loot as verywhere else), they can be difficult to claim because you need you be virtually in them to claim.
    Shelly: so, it takes time, costs ped and hurts valuable spacecraft?
    Mac: yep.
    Shelly: Dont do it again then!
    Mac: ok;)

    Yea totaly not worth doing. 50 ped worth of ammo just over 2 ped decay on ship and 3ped on rockets and a few repairs later I got about 8 ped loot back. Ill rather stay planet side and hunt there, atleast there it costs less, have better returns and I dont need to worry about being looted.

    I love hunting the little despair squids, I like most things about space, the skills needed in a 3D area are cool.
    I was told to stop wasting peds:(

    I'll talk her around:)
    cheers,
    Macca

    p.s. a team hunt would be great, fun to co-ordinate everyone:)

    important point, if you go out in a Quad with a gunner, do notlet the gunner try and loot it locks up the turret till it is looted so cannot shoot at anything else

    Oh and the are one ugly Mob as well

    I tried a few the other day, yeah not really keen on taking TT decay on my Quad when hunting. Going to avoid them in future.

    Whoever thinks these things up?

    Living creatures in the radiated cold vacuum of space.......remove the reality from virtual right now!

    Remove the S.C.U.B.A. - freak away from the desktop and replace with a ex Astro/Cosmo - naut with immagination and artistic flair. :) :) :) :)

    For an alternative view on space mob hunting, consider what you would need to get the same skill points in say Gauss Weapons technology. Never mind the heavy weapons give you health.

    I'm sure more appealing loots will be added in time.

    well i really hope so,
    i found some level 1 (L) chips.. but in my opinion lvl 30-40 spacemobs should hold something cool for a ship.
