Too Much Money To Pass Up
19 Jan 2016ROWND
I finally returned to my home base, without any difficulty. My docking was far more clumsy than usual with the new H.O.T.A.S. controls, but using an abundance of caution it was ultimately uneventful. I was planning to head back out of the bubble on a quiet expedition to get used to these new flight controls, but checking the Bulletin Board at home I was shocked to find SIX missions to the same system. SIX! And all for my allied friends. Over 500k legal credits! Yes Ginny, there IS a Santa Claus! This kind of easy money was just too hard to pass up, so I nervously and gracelessly limped out of the slot again and hit the hyperdrive hoping that I'd have some chance of surviving the potentially large number of parties interested in industrial espionage which I had just brought down upon myself. Every step of the way I went through the new flight controls in my mind and focused on the windfall I was about to realize. Miraculously there was not a single interdiction along the way to any of my 3 destinations. It's like the Star Deities were smiling upon me today. I'm back out in a dirty mining outpost, but I'm going to quietly celebrate by downing some of the worst mining outpost hooch with relish, knowing that it's a 500k credit shot of nasty hooch. Sweet sweet nectar of profit.
