Those rares routes are pretty good, but check out the distances between some of the stations. Might take a while to get to the locations with a base sidewinder. Check that website for something nearby. The NPC interdictions are going to happen. The best way I've found to avoid fighting is to submit ...

Less than 10 min round trip time. In my T7 I was getting roughly 420k per ro...

HAHA Wvjohn that 3 screen setup is mine! Note the FSU drink coaster on the bottom right ;) And yeah it looks fantastic with my new rig. Had to readjust the colors with it, but it's pretty close now.

Thanks for that Pengo! This will be my first time ever using Win 8. And really I got it to have a good non-Dell license so I can upgrade to 10 later with no headaches. The fact that the SSD's and other crap will work better is a bonus.
