Stuck with the Eclipse chasing HRT targets to try to quickly bump my Crusader rep. Another bounty easily bagged. With thermal and magnetic signatures in the 4000-5000 range you can take your time, watch your kill and make your get away with ease. Approaching slowly allows your EM signature to fall after a QT.

While chasing bounties in an Eclipse may seem like easy money, torpedoes are expensive. Doesn’t hurt to get in a little practice for the big fish though. For the most part you can ignore the target’s wingmen, no sense wasting a torpedo on such a small reward. A set of 3 torpedoes will cost you around 10K creds.

Finally took my Eclipse out for spin, feels like cheating:)

So it seems some of the live bounties just jump away whenever you get close. So I updated my Eclispe with all Grade A stealth gear and took it for a test drive bounty hunting.
Although the torpedos have 10,000m locking range, they only track for 8000m as demonstrated here. As is typical with the Skyline star map, it fails to work and I manually navigate back to Everus Harbor.

Face it, not all of us are cracked up to be close up knife fighters and prefer to engage the enemy with a little more finesse. Aegis has a ship for you, the Eclipse stealth bomber. The Eclipse may be purchased from time to time during one of the periodic ship sales and is available for deployment today!
