I'm sure all of you red players have your share of days where you might have one long SST or SDT run without a bust..then you might have a day where you go bust-bust-bust-bust-bust-bust- in just a few hundred turns.

Last week I was trying out various SST scripts on my local machine. I had a run that lasted me 1100 turns. I was beginning to wonder if that would ever end before my turns run out. I did bust with about 100 turns left. It was a nice long run.

Then the very next day, I was like bust-bust-bust-bust-bust-bust-bust-bust. God knows how many furbs I blew up that day and I still had half a days turns to go yet.

The last couple days, I was doing buydowns and had no problems with megarobs - except for getting busted doing a megarob right in my home base - on 2 consecutive days in the same sector. As of now, about $8.3 million is sitting in that port. If I do another buydown tonight and get busted once again in another megarob attempt, I'll throw my computer out the window - lol. I found it funny that I am successful in megarobs in open space, but at my home port, I'm busted twice in two days.

How about the rest of you? Do you have stories to share about long cashing runs followed by bust after bust?

Stories about TW should probably go in Open Discussion.

Cool... Maybe my posts won't get deleted here. Can't imagine why it was deleted before instead of the thread being moved back to open discussion, because my post was related to the topic at hand just as much as any other post in this thread. As a matter of fact, I replaced the post with the exact wording above.

Edit: On 2nd thought, I'm thinking that when a thread is moved, that some posts in that thread are sometimes lost. Can't imagine EP deleting a post with no more reason than that.

I've had really long runs - 5-10M credits fairly often in unlims, but I have also experienced the constant bust cycles. Sometimes you bust a lot - long run - then the bust cycle starts again. Most runs are in the 1 to 2M range which probably equates to what Traitor wrote on TW-Cabal - 1:50 bust ratio.

[Edit] I think I will modify the steal script I have to capture the longest run by steals and credits for the heck of it. [/Edit]
