A couple of milestones...

Recently I made Elite in exploration. I must confess that the final leg of this trek (96%+) was made by the Robigo Mines/ Sothis grind. For the majority of this run I had no idea that passenger runs could count towards exploration runs, seeing that they never did before (for instance, when I did runs to Vela Dock on the other side of The Bubble). So I was a little shocked when I checked my Rep. one day and found myself hovering at 99% !At the same time I was also hovering around 900m credits, and the thought occurred to me that I was getting within range of a well-kitted out Imperial Cutter, which I've always desired. Obviously then, my present to myself for accomplishing Elite would be to purchase the Cutter!
Of course, I barely had time to take the new bird out for a spin around the block, when I had to bail out in order to travel to The Gnosis in time to hop a ride out to the permit locked "Cone sector" systems.
And that's where I am now. Sitting aboard the Mega-Ship, waiting for it to take us to an unknown and possibly (probably) dangerous, restricted area of space...
