"let's see... 8,524 rounds of PDC ammo, 4,200 rounds of .50, 4,200 rounds of 30mm HEI, 811 rounds of 120mm HEI, 795 rounds of corrosive 120mm, 82 limpets... you've got cracks in the primary gimbal actuators for your pulse laser, the shutters on your limpet ejection rack are completely blown off... and the coffee machine has been ripped out of the wall. I can do it for ya for... let's say... 150,000?" Months of work in the Painite fields netted me close to one billion credits, but most of that had been poured into the Victor Belash, and what was left over had been spread liberally among the rest of the fleet. Look, I'm happy that my multicannon upgrades can drop a Clipper's shields and make it pop in 27 seconds, but I'm really happy with the fact that it can take a hell of a beating and only come away with a few dents. That's assuming my shields drop, which they haven't. Yet. I'm still going to get out of dodge if I see a wing of Cutters on the scanner, but now that I have the proper tools, I can get the job done. Which in the end, means I'm pulling in 1.5 million for stack of bounties vs a 150,000 credit repair bill-- and not vice versa!
Waiting for the techs to finish their repair assessment, I spied this cold and dark DBS cooling its heels on the pad next to mine.
