Back on the Road.

Last night I earned a nice little bonus for diverting some cargo to a new destination, enough of a bonus in fact to sell my trusty Cobra MkIII and trade it in for a Cobra MkIV. This is now the smallest ship I will have in my fleet. All future vessels will be paid for and earned in full. In fact, when I buy my next ship – most likely a Diamondback Explorer vessel – I will put the Cobra MkIV into storage at Asellus Prime so I can pick it up immediately should I end up in another insurance situation. Before I start allocating funds for the Diamondback I will upgrade the Cobra IV as much as I can.Following a very enlightening conversation with some fellow commanders over the weekend I have added a couple of small turreted pulse lasers to the ship. I’ve heard that these are far better for tracking targets than their gimballed equivalents and given that every ship out there now seems to have the Devil at the stick they should come in very useful.
I have returned to the Okinura system to resume operations for the Earth Defense Fleet. I’ve docked at Bennett Gateway which is the nearest station to the star.
It’s taking longer than anticipated to fully “install” Orion and Verity on the ship’s computer again but I’m hopeful that the replacement flight computer components I’ve got on order should resolve the issue.
