Hunting is the process of killing and looting NPC vessels such as drones, pirates, or NPC faction ships for their modules. This career is vital to supplying rare modules such as Hybrids. This overview of hunting will be split up into three sections: Methods, Sources, and Strategies.

Methods

  • When you warp in, look for threats in all planets. To do this, scan all planets with a probe. If a red exclamation mark appears, then there is a threat that can be destroyed. These will also appear in the quickwarp menu as red icons, if the planet has already been scanned.
  • Threats can also appear in rings.

Locations

Locations are the different places players can hunt, ranging from fighting drone fleets to destroying NPC structures and stations.

Locations
Location Info
Drone Factories Structures that you can destroy the obtain loot. They call in drones of varying levels every time you destroy a part of the factory.
Pirate Dens Structures that you can destroy the obtain loot. They call in pirates of varying levels every time you destroy a part of the den.
Anomalies While not the most efficient, certainly possible. DH anomalies may drop rare items.
Fleets Drone fleets can be a source of hybrid loot. Drone factories are generally easier and drop better loot. Pirate fleets are the Dread counterpart of this, behaving in the exact same way.

Strategies

  • When in Wild space, always have a hull repairer so that you don't need to go back to Unsecure in order to heal.
  • Don't be afraid to warp out to rest.
  • Try to find a safe anomaly or planet so that you can go there to rest.
  • Large dens are dangerous; don't underestimate them.
  • This is a high-risk high-reward method. Don't think it's going to be a cakewalk.
  • Always warp out when a player enters your system. Don't be arrogant and think that you can defeat them.
  • Never. Ever. EVER. Go to wild without scouting first.
  • Wormholes are risky, as there could be pirates camping on the other side.
  • Don't be afraid to kill any haulers/miners you come across; it's just extra profit for you.
