Get'n Dirty (Drive 5)

So, I don't post very often here. I have thus decided that one of the rare times that I do, it shall be to enlighten, educate, and generally spread the information that is worthwhile.First and foremost, if you don't have Marco Qwent unlocked you will need to go back to the starter quests. This epic quest begins with him.
I've played for a long time (since Gamma), the good part of that is that I've randomly unlocked various engineer invitations along the way. All of them have been relatively easy, especially with some of the changes they did after the first release of engineers. As many commanders know though, there is one path that is not easy. No amount of "casual" will unlock the path. The maze wasn't meant for you.
Yes friends, I speak of Prof. Palin. Only he, can give you a 900 m/s ship. Only he can make your Anaconda, Type-9, etc., outrun a Viper. To meet him though? That is work:
- Become allied with Sirius Corp.
- Get the system unlock for the Sirius system proper
- Become friends with Marco. Oh, wait, you thought meeting him was a chore? Well this is the hipster Kanye of the 34th century you noob! You'll need 25 modular terminals to even get into the party. What's that? Sure I'll wait while you look that up. Yep, you read that right, they are a mission only item. So not only did you have to do all that other crap? You also now have to do something that gives you 25 of those. Theoretically they will be gone with the new patch, but who knows. For now, you owe Marco some Modular Terminals, hope you have friends.
- OK. Got all that sorted? Wonderful. Now, comes the fun part. You see, you only really want the level 5 upgrades. You'll have to have a thrifts store worth of random crap to get there though. Many of those things will be "mission only" (again this is supposed to change soon).
- OK, so now that you've ground the relatively easy Marco, it's time to meet
Sauronsorry Prof. Palin
Oh you thought you were done? LOL
