While I was trying to figure out a good place to put in work for the Feds I noticed Ceos was in boom again. I was in the Ditsy Bee, so I figured it would take only a few minute to head down to see if the place was still good for ranking up, and I was not disappointed. Even with the added stations I was able to get a steady drip of reputation, and after pulling a long night of mail carrier for the local Fed faction I was able to return to Sol and sniff out a promotion mission. It was pretty anti-climatic, just grabbing the black boxes from a convoy that was hit. Came into a little hiccup when one of the four boxes wasn't were it was suppose to be. I found that one at a signal way on the other side of the planet's orbit. I guess he limped away from whatever ambush hit the convoy.So, as of now I'm at Jameson tricking out my shiny new Corvette. I've got a few hundred mil saved up for this, so I've already A-ed out most of the parts, though I'm not really sold on the A-rated power core. It's close to a 75% more expensive for only a sliver of energy increasing. I'll have to really think about that. It would jump the insurance up a mil or so alone. And that hundred million or so could better be used upgrading the hull, I'm keeping it with the lightweight standard stuff for now. I invested creds into my Phython's armor only for it to never be touched thanks to my strong shields, so I'm going to double down on that tactics with the Vette and focus on shields alone. At least for now, till I get some experience flying the girl. Took her out for a quick spin around the station, she is quite the stubborn woman when it comes to maneuvers.
Going to start engineering her now, after that I'll probably go on patrol. Something easy and light, just so I can get an idea of how she handles in a fight.
