Quite frankly, I need help with privateering quests.

A couple of thoughts......


First, if you cannon skills are lacking, then maybe you should address that first. Level up outside of svs by grinding out. Put points in rapid reload and the other cannon buffs. Once you have the semi-automatic version of the cannon you can pump out a lot more rounds and leveling gets quicker and quicker.

Put your ammo specific points into only the higher level ammo types - and then use those exclusively (as they will inflict the most damage per round).

When your on the 25,000 point quest don't hesitate to TP "back for ammo" <nudge, nudge - wink, wink> if the ship's damage meter starts to plunge like the stock market. If you see red - run! As long as you're not on the ship, the points remain. Starting over is the worst....

I had a lot of success during those quest by hanging around the beach at a point nearest the ammo purchase point with a balloon over my head reading "... Gunner looking for work" or something equally cheesy. The "..." before hand keeps the message up much longer than a regular spoken phrase. And, if you see a crew forming - don't be afraid to ask to join.

Fair winds....... perhaps you can join up on the next Agile, Hostile, and Senile reunion tour.
