Hi everyone,

We're now over 50 billion in the AA, so we're finally on the last stage of the process of getting us capable of raiding outposts. Thanks to everyone who helped make our cash raiding ops successful. I know they weren't a lot of fun, especially for the escorts, but they will have been well worth it in the long run.

What's left: raiders need to level as quickly as possible. L40 is absolutely required for our L60 team, and there's no way around it. We need the team to be at full turns for our first op, so we're still looking at probably a couple weeks until we're ready for action. The faster we can get leveled, the sooner we'll be able to do stuff.

Since NPCs are getting nerfed this weekend, trading is our best option for leveling. When trading, focus exclusively on EXP. Once you hit 40, stop; the death risk isn't worth a higher level. As always, be extremely cautious when trading and keep a close eye if any noted target hunters such as NEEO, Velox, etc. are online. Once you get to it, it'll go fairly fast. Just from trading last night and this afternoon, I've made 67 mil EXP in a L120 freighter, and I still have 160 hours of turns left.

Also, while we're at 50 bil and have enough to ship a team of five right now, we'll be cutting it EXTREMELY close financially. We need as much donated in the AA as possible while the raiders are raiding so that we have a margin of error, are able to upgrade outposts after we raid them, will be able to help fund hunters, and hopefully will be able ship more than a base team of five raiders. Every little bit you can donate helps.

Again, thanks to all for being patient and making this work.

It means you can ship into whatever ship you want as long as it is level 0.

We can still provide partial funding, but the more you can self fund for now, the better.

AA is almost at $60b now. It will be $60b once we detag fire and pod her for her bounty.

So, your saying that it would be better that I STOP donating? That sounds counter intuitive.

We're now at over 60billion. In only an hour or hour and a half of NPCing, with a lot of break time inbetween, me, bear, and Goofy managed to get, oh...likely over 1.5b. Analasis = NPCing is still sexy for cash, if you hunt in proper groups against proper NPCs.

Since some people have asked about this, I should clarify... We are still able to help fund warbirds. Until we get raiders shipped, we aren't going to be able to throw around money like we did before, but we can still help people ship. Don't feel like you have to trade for all the money yourselves or that AA assistance is unavailable, especially if you've been donating.
