EVE, I’m such a miner

Chapter 209 Target: Pirate Fortress

And when Li Yi and Emma's perpetual motion machine finished communicating, they immediately found Su Xiaotu.

"How about the plunder ship, Cronus, has he built one?"

"Yes. We just built one and you came here. I haven't even experienced it yet."

Now, the Emma Champions Cup competition has ended. People like Li Yi and others have obtained at least more than 200 million free skill points. The minimum requirement for using a predator ship is that the battleship operation level reaches 5.

Battleship Operation 5 requires 200 million skill points. Normally, 1 skill points can be obtained in one day. Therefore, it will take about 5 days to open a plunder ship.

But this is only the minimum requirement. To drive a predator ship, you still need to use weapons and other equipment. You also need various auxiliary skills such as engineering, navigation, and locking. You also need skills such as armor and shields, as well as drones. Skills and so on.

Therefore, in more than 2 months now, even players who specialize in battleships have only reached the level 4 of a certain battleship operation.

But after this championship is over, once someone acquires enough skill injectors, not only predator ships, but even flagship pilots can be trained.

Of course, this would require a huge amount of star coins, and Li Yi had no idea of ​​cultivating a dedicated flagship driver.

Before the flagship reaches a large scale, on the contrary, it is more important to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the legion and form a T2 Ishtar-class heavy assault fleet.

Therefore, Li Yi did not purchase the skill injectors obtained by the legion members participating in the competition this time. Everyone can use them by themselves.

And the legion members have not forgotten their responsibility. Most of them have upgraded the operational level of Gallente cruisers to level 5. After all, after being able to drive up to the Ishtar level, the dead space in those zero-security areas will not be a problem.

As for those dead spaces, the profits are extremely high. It is possible to achieve tens of billions of star coins a day. In most cases, 10-20 billion star coins a day is still achievable.

However, those members who had been able to drive the Ishtar class for a long time chose to improve their battleship operations, and these Kronos class were prepared for them.

Li Yi also raised the Gallente battleship operation level to level 5, and then used some of the remaining skill points to learn Gallente battlecruiser operation. He has temporarily given up on the Ishtar class. Dawn Goddess class, this command ship is indispensable in the future fleet.

He is already the CEO of the legion, and it no longer makes much sense to pursue personal assets. Anyway, he can freely use the legion's funds. There are still hundreds of billions of star coins in the legion's account. These are for the establishment of alliances in the future and for the alliance. Sovereignty fees and various infrastructure preparations.

In this way, Li Yi obtained the legion's first looting ship from Su Xiaotu.

The plunder ship is basically the most defensive spaceship in the high-security area. If even the plunder ship cannot solve this pirate fortress, then Li Yi will have to find other ways.

Emma Perpetual Machine said that those pirate fortresses are indeed a big trouble, especially for the miners.

These pirate fortresses are the production bases established by pirate groups in high-security areas. Their spaceships are not conjured out of thin air, but also require minerals to make them.

And from Su Xiaotu's mouth, he learned that a pirate fortress happened to appear in a high-security galaxy near Canopus: the Mexibil galaxy.

It was a frontline combat base established by the Sky Serpentis Group, from which a large number of diamond-shaped spacecrafts were dispatched. These diamond-shaped spacecrafts defended the Sky Snake Group's Gyrator class and some industrial ships, and seized the asteroid belt in the galaxy.

These pirate groups also need minerals to build spaceships.

Now, players have discovered that these pirate ships are basically divided into several types. One is the most common types of Sky Snake pirates. These are the simplest and most common pirate ships. These are piloted by newcomers to the pirate group, and these are new warriors who have joined the Sky Snake Group. Their combat skills are not high, and the configuration of the spacecraft is also haphazardly configured. They rely on the strength of numbers.

Therefore, it is not difficult to deal with such a spaceship, as long as the players have some skills and understand the theory of spacecraft assembly.

However, such new pirates will also make progress. After these new pirates grow up, some veterans will appear. They are not driving ordinary spaceships, and there are even some hardcover versions of the spaceships.

These pirate veterans are more difficult to deal with, and they also use some electronic warfare equipment, which is quite troublesome to deal with.

And these veterans also have a time to go further. They are the elite of the pirate group, which is also commonly known as the mini-boss. For example, the Sky Serpent Group, their prefix becomes the Shadow Sky Serpent. Killing such pirate ships will bring huge profits. Can obtain the improved equipment of those pirate groups.

And some of them have become bosses in the dead space. They are also quite difficult to deal with.

Like ordinary player ships, they must be fully armed to defeat them in a 1V1 battle.

However, these are only the periphery of these pirate groups, and their real core is these diamond-shaped spaceships. The pilots of these spaceships are the core of these pirate groups.

They are more difficult to deal with than those bosses. Fighting with them is truly difficult at the pvp level. If you want to use the idea of ​​​​pve spacecraft to fight them, most of the time, it is a dead end.

This is the terror of those diamond-shaped monsters, which are called "diamond dads" by players.

Once the diamond-shaped monsters appear, players have to avoid them. These diamond-shaped monsters are not like those bosses that can drop any good things, and the battle is extremely difficult. No one is willing to take huge risks to fight them.

These diamond-shaped monsters defend their frontline combat bases and continuously produce various spaceships. Then, the new recruits will drive these produced spaceships and start wreaking havoc in the galaxy.

Under normal circumstances, these pirate fortresses are equipped with anti-scanning devices and are hidden deep in the galaxy and cannot be found at all.

Only when the minerals in these pirate fortresses are almost exhausted and need to be replenished, will these pirate fortresses be unhidden and start sending various spacecraft to collect minerals in the galaxy to replenish consumption.

This is why the pirates in those galaxies can never be cleared.

But now, the pirate fortress is in operation and exposed. This is the best time to attack those pirate groups.

Of course, the so-called bandit suppression cannot be eliminated. How can we destroy all the pirate fortresses in these systems and drive away these pirates completely?

The navy of the empire would not agree. Without these pirates, where would their military expenditures come from?

Therefore, over the years, the navies of various empires and these pirate groups have reached a tacit balance. As long as these pirate groups don't make too much noise, they will not carry out a thorough attack.

Then, players don’t care so much. These pirate fortresses and diamond-shaped monsters interfere with our lovely miners’ mining.

Then, these diamond monsters must die.

Now, what Li Yi has to do is to use this defense as a powerful plundering ship to experience the strength of these diamond-shaped pirates.
