If only it were that easy... the problem isn't a single M3 but a slew of M4~M5 ships will deplete the Solano's energy pool very quickly leaving the lasers stuttering while the energy recharges

Hence why a few MDs and ammo are a good back up choice for the Solano Smile Even if your PRGs deplete the energy pool, you can still fight Smile

For capping I think you'll find that M8 class ships that spawn during station defense missions are also quite profitable once repaired and sold.

No, M8s come before M6. They typically show up with a bunch of fighters, then as your rank goes up you get 2 of them and a bunch of fighters. After that you start getting M6 Wink

He's right; M8s should show up after you start seeing more than two M3 attackers. Generally, they blow up when you shoot the missle they're launching, but otherwise the bails are good for a few mil apiece. When they've got a cargo bay still full of Torpedos, they're a real gold mine.

They're often faster than some of the escorting M3s, so I occasionally have enough time to clear out the M4/M5 trash (and any inbound torps), then bail the M8 before the M3s even start to shoot the station.

AFAIK in AP M8s have been classified as more dangerous than m6s. I know the payout is higher.


EDIT: You specified TC.... Oops. It's possible they did the same to TC in the recent patch.
