Finally Some Engineering Progress.

The opportunities to upgrade my Python with improved Frame Shift Drive technology have hit a roadblock of late. Felicity requires a number of Modular Terminals in order to proceed with further improvements. I've been searching for these elusive items for about a week - chatting with other Commanders, following up leads and rumours and scouring planets and space stations alike.As an aside, this hunt has become so dangerous that I have berthed the Hrafnkel at Bennett Gateway in the Okinura system and have bought and kitted out a Cobra MkIV for the sole purpose of finding everything I need to upgrade it.
Since the last Community Goal I took part in paid out so well, I've been keeping an eye out for others. There are currently two in the nearby LFT 133 system which I have signed up for. One is bounty hunting vouchers and the other is bringing gold to the station. Gold has been increasingly more difficult to locate though I did remember that Ross 41 (just 57LY from LFT 133) was a good source of gold for me recently. Heading up there netted me a full hold of 48T which after a few such trips got me into the 75% bracket for the goal.
The bounty hunting goal has not gone terribly well for me although managing just two kills has entered me in to the 75% bracket for that goal as well. Both are nearing completion and stand to earn me around 15MCr in total.
To the point of this log entry, I have finally located - and acquired - four Modular Terminals as a reward for a cargo mission to a neighbouring planet. My plan is to remain in the LFT 133 system until both Goals are complete and I can collect my rewards before heading to Okinura for the Hrafnkel. Then it's a run to the Deciat system to pay Felicity a visit.
