I have arrived back in the bubble and wasted no time in getting to Jameson Memorial to see if I could scrounge up an Imperial Clipper. Most of the machines I looked at were very suitable for what I wanted to do except for the price. But, I was in luck. One spaceship was in long term storage and out of inspection. Seems it was an old Helix smuggler that was used to get into Imperial space. Of course it was impounded and auctioned off. The buyer couldn't afford to put it back into a passenger configuration and went broke. You see the smugglers had striped the ship of its luxury interior. That was good for me though. All I needed was a pretty ship on the outside. The inside was configured for deep space exploration. Also, I needed to make an accommodation for film crews and their equipment. There is money to be had in the news and documentary industry.
As for the configuration I wanted something with range and good fuel scooping capability. Also, maneuverability and great speed in normal space is a plus as well. Jump range is not as important as fast scooping and recharge rate. But, what is most important is that it looks great on camera.
I chose to christen the ship as the SCG Frank Tallman. Frank Tallman was a Hollywood stunt pilot back in the mid 20th century Earth. I name all my spacecraft after aircraft designers and aviators. I like to show respect for those that have gone before.
Now I need to find a film contract.
