The Fleet Carrier Nidhogg
11 May 2024DK-Ardok
It is done. I have finally achieved one of the biggest goals most pilots aspire to achieve; to become a fleet carrier owner. I am both proud and shocked, by now. Nearly a day passed and I still have this drake-class carrier. I thought getting the Anaconda and the Imperial Cutter was going to be a feat and in a way they are, but none of those compare to getting a personal carrier. At least from my perspective, as I am mostly speaking for myself here. I thank everyone from my time with the Pilots Trade Network and the Anti-Xeno Initiative.My most important thanks, however, goes to CMDR Icepaw and the Brutal Deluxe squadron. Without their guidance and help, I might be struggling to get the Imperial ships I sought to get when I first laid my eyes on those. Now I have every Imperial ship available. I even have an Anaconda I am keen to try out one day and still have yet to finish outfitting. I still have yet to try out my Cutter. However, as I said before, the carrier is my biggest achievement. This is up there with me learning how to fight a Titan. Here's looking at the late Oya.
This is a testament to any and all commanders out there who have the will, desire, and commitment to their craft. Stay with people who will encourage you and support you. With the right people, anything is possible. With the right people, one can always endeavor to achieve their goals, whether they fail or not. Failure is just a means to try again. This is coming from someone who lost a Type-10 without insurance a bit ago. While that was a big gut-punch for anyone obtaining their first large ship and it's enough for one to quit being a pilot. I've heard from my fellow squad-mates that losing a ship like that is enough for one to quit.
I continued to spite my failure and not only did I re-obtain a Type-10, but I got all the Imperial ships, became a billionaire and am now a Captain of my own Fleet Carrier; the Nidhogg.
Fly on, pilots, and always know that there's someone who knows that anything is possible with the right people.
CMDR DK-Ardok, out.
