I'm fairly new and just acquired a Federal Gunship, and was eager to put it to the test, did fairly well in my first low intensity conflict zone. I was on my way back to hand in some bonds, and I noticed a level 4 weapons fire signal, never done any before, so I decided to go and check it out.
I land on 3 wanted Master Anacondas, I'd just defeated elite spec ops in the conflict zone, so why not do this as well. I deploy my crew in a fighter, get behind targets and opened fire. A while later, I am 4 fighters down, shield almost down, one Anaconda down, Security Forces finally show up and take some aggro and help me finish the rest.
The site was way more difficult than I thought it would be, I'm not sure I will be as reckless again, but I noticed one thing. Each of the Anacondas gave me around 160k cr as bounty, but when I checked my transaction tab the total bounty was over a million. I didn't have previous bounties for that faction, so it was from the site. Is that how these sites work? They give money + bounties from the wanted ships?
