OFFLINE CHALLENGES







Well, I got bored and decided to try out some challenges. Venom's challenge was the first I decided to do, and I found it rather easy and quite a bit boring to tell the truth. I was expecting a lot more excitement spending a day in Highrise and Downtown with a load of cargo that was irresistible to any pirate, but didn't come across more than 5 or 6 pirates in Highrise, and probably 4 or 5 in Downtown.

I used a swallow equipped with a fusion cell, afterburner, plasma kannon, 20 firebursts, and 3 devastators. Unfortunately, I found that I was in trouble with both factions, and decided to make the most of a bad situation. So, while in Highrise, I made it a point to shoot down every klamp ship that happened to come by. On the side, I probably made about 10,000 credits. Then, while in downtown, to help the time pass, I began killing scavengers who were picking up scrap metal.

While this did indeed help to pass the time, it distracted me from one pirate who decided to come after me, and I ended up taking a decent amount of engine damage before gunning him down. Also, on a side note, I racked up a 56,000 credit bounty on my head for killing scavengers. The rest of the challenge was easy. I just afterburned through haven and midway and rested in the tunnels until the afterburner recharged. To make this challenge harder, I'd suggest banning afterburners and fusion cells. It's far too easy with them.
