>It's been some time since I've had the opportunity to put down my experience in the log, but then again, that time hasn't been filled with much of note. More interesting than >my personal matters, however, is that of the >newly refined technologies sweeping through the mining community. New vessel hardpoints, all rather small in size, have >cropped up, allowing for not simply the blasting of frozen rocks in rings and asteroid belts, but >for the the complete cracking of some of them like eggs.

>These so-called "motherload" asteroids are larger than practically any ship I've flown, including the Imperial Cutter. While I was skeptical at first of how lucrative the new >trends in mining could be, after purchasing and >stripping down a Lakon Type-9 Heavy Cargo Transport I flew my merc ass out to Aeneas 3, where I'd heard reports of Void >Opals being found. Personally, I didn't find any, but after just a few solid hours of work, I'd >collected a small haul of Low-Temp Diamonds and some Alexandrite. Stopped in >Viktorenko Holdings and sold those shiny rocks for some serious liquid funding, which is nice. Need a bounce back in cash after having >purchased that Mamba in Jameson >recently.

>I look forward to seeing how the new business pays out in the end, though I may get a more nimble ship to do it in. Cruising in that T-9HCT was so slow that I thought I'd be >able to go faster if I got out and gave her a push.
