just come out - no problems from here JD

No problems here. Played for about 3 hours

Btw..almost died. Upgraded to a powerful frame shift engine that gives my viper a 11ly jump range with my 10mw upgraded powerplant. What I didn't know is it takes about 3x as long to charge up. Not what you want to find out when your ship is sparking and you are trying to escape from 3 federal police in Eagles. Didn't count on that in my plans

I'm a bit bored of bounty hunting so I'm playing a true mercenary...for hire for whatever nasty job pays. Took a $186,000 mission to find and assassinate a specific pilot. I have 45 hours to do it and 3 systems where she could be. No bounty so I will be fined and hunted but wow! That's a lot of cheese

Just to warn you, the assassination missions in the 100k range are to kill pilots in high level Anacondas.

How do I get slaves?

You buy them from the commodity market, just like any other product. You just have to find them. Moreover, they are illegal in most of civilized space.

Did you ever check out Doninions 4? There are whole nations about sacrificing Blood slaves, if that's your thing ! :D

Don't go near any Cherwell Convention signatory planets, especially the Star Empire of Manticore or the Kingdom of Torch. It won't end well...

Sorry, that was meant as a joke: http://honorverse.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

AFAIK, there is no actual tie-in between Elite and the Honor Harrington novels. It's just that Genetic Slavery has become a big plot point in the latter's recent plot progression.

Well the mission is actually taking 2 slaves to a base and setting them free.  No money involved.  Just reputation.

undercovergeek

pffft - do the 'bring me 2 slaves for 60000' instead!
