HARDMAN'S Challenge









Well, I'll say that this challenge put up quite a bit of a fight. Since I was playing the patched game, it was possible to "moth hop" a Swallow. Well, that takes care of what ship I need, but having a place to park it and having alot of cash wouldn't hurt either, so i chose to start as a Dealer. I ran to Alpha Construction and grabbed the Swallow there.

Since it starts with devastators and a fusion cell, they neded to get dumped, but why waste all 5 devastators? So I used 2 to take out the punks that have been on my butt since the start. I used the other 3 to reface a crater wall. I sold the fusion cell, and replaced it with a cell #4. I dumped my cargo pod and drone at my hanger, and this increased my top speed to around 510. Then i hit the god hangar and fitted my ship.

It took me until day 3 to get my swallow set up with the right software, weapons, and so on. I then tried to follow the challenge in the order it says. First I nailed a turret off of highrise, and killed an innocent (like there is such a thing on Titan :)) trader. Next, I stopped at MisOp Finance and took out a small loan. Instead of waiting for the loan to become due, I decided to get more people mad at me, so i hit the God Hangar, and plot jumped to the part where you are supposed to get the matter and trigger for Psycho Bob.

I decided to attack, but not kill a scrubbers and skinners transport, and the same for a laz and klamp ship. By this time, i got so wrapped up in what I was doing, and that I already made everyone mad, I went and decided to make peace with everyone. I looked for transports of the factions I attacked so I could kill them and clear my record. Unfortunately I was able to make peace with everyone before my loan came due.

Fearing that I wouldn't qualify if I said I done it then, I waited for the loan to 'mature' if you will, and then start the trouble all over again. I did the same tactic for Scrubbers, Skinners, Laz, and Klamp. However, I got the Police mad at me when I attacked the Enforcer that MisOp sent after me.

Well, this time around, it was more difficult. I figured that I had to get one of the larger factions, Laz or Klamp, off of my back. I decided to kill a Klamp ship and make Laz happy. Afterwards, I looked for pirates picking on the other factions ships. This time it wasn't so easy having a MisOp enforcer, a police ship, and 5 Klamp ships chasing me across 3 craters, I almost died on two seperate occasions.

I worked my way around Titan, and finally got myself down to needing only Klamp amnesty. I looked for days, tailing transports, and running when 5 patrol ships come my way. Then a light bulb appears! I head to Laz HQ, and look in their enemies for a 3rd party candidate for death. I found one with a $500 price tag on his head. I went and killed a Laz ship to make Klamp happy, and killed the the guy I target at Laz HQ earlier. Now the only thing that might still be tailing me is that $%@$ing MisOp Finance Enforcer! Just to let you know, i did not die during this challenge, and i did not use clones.
