Pitched battle with one *HELL* of a payout!

I got mission worth 600+k credits, bounty on 16 Kamekh!!!!!! how??

Seriously though, the game has a bit of a difficulty curve based on how far along you are. The more money you have, the larger the enemy flightgroups are.

Is "difficulty" money (or ones total value or whatever) based?

In the original, it was based solely on kills. It certainly seemed that way, anyway. I remember just flying around in the tarsus killing pirates and retros. The game quickly got to the point, where I basically couldn't get through a system without having to kill 5+ birds.

I've completed many of the 300k+ missions, was finally able to buy myself a milspec Paradigm for 8.7 mill, and damn that thing is slow but has a ton of firepower. Those defense missions are a cinch once you get a tweaked out hunter, mine has full armor and milspec armor upgrades, engine and milspec engine enhancements, 4 Fusion cannons with autotracking, gun cooling, the works.

How about $360k for defending the Draymen against 17 Kameth? (I didn't make it...)

I bet the Drayman didn't make it either....

17? Ouch.

SUBSPACE! Damn, thank you! I played that game AEONS ago and loved it - then the company went down the hill and with them the game. I never realized it was brought back from the dead.
