Keeping things interesting. I decided to max out a Sidewinder and head out to a High Intensity Res to see if I could get the bounty on an Anaconda by shooting him at the last minute.
I ended up doing it twice making a total of 480k in Bounties. It was very hair raising though. For the first one there was a couple of Security ships to help and so I tagged it at about 10%. Fortunately I got very little attention from the 'conda and he died without taking down my shields all the way.
The second one was a totally different story. An ASP and 2 Imperial Eagles were bravely taking him on and eventually managed to knock his shields down. I waited until the 'conda was down to 10% before taking my shot. I really should have waited. Seconds later, the ASP bit the dust and when I looked again there was only the one Imperial Eagle left besides myself. Each time the 'conda got a shot at me it slaughtered my measly shields. It took me down and was doing hull damage as I furiously boosted away. I managed to lure him to some more Security ships, but by then I was down to 20% hull and no shields.
I didn't want to lose the bounty, but I know there was no way I could do any damage. I'm not sure what types of ships I had run into but I saw the Annie taking damage down to 2%. I turned to face and get some shots in, but they had no effect Fortunately, my shields were regenerating fairly quickly and came into effect just before I took another salvo. He was down to 1% and I went kamikaze on him. I was expecting to die as but he must have been hit with a projectile as the ship screamed life support warnings and cockpit damage warnings. I could barely see out the screen when there was a huge flash and 241k cr was handed over as bounty.
I got the hell out of dodge and boosted out of that RES as fast as I could. When I docked, I was down to 5% Hull, but with 2 Anaconda notches on the side of my Sidey ;)
Sorry for the long post. I've had a long layoff from the game. I nearly quit after PowerPlay and only now have started to enjoy it again...
