What a DAY. . . . . . . . .After yesterday, I didn't think I could do any better. And I was right, to start with.
Missions were pretty run of the mill. Nothing outstanding. And I thought all the pirates and scumbags had taken the day off.
As the missions were not doing it for me, I though I'd do a little trading and try and earn some merits with the Empire. I found a nice little 2 jump run that netted a hefty profit on the return.
Then the missions seemed to be improving, still no sign of pirates. I feel abandoned.
Half way through the day, and they start showing up, especially when I'm fully loaded.
I decided yesterday that I was going to start playing smart, so the first time I run and jump. On the second interdiction, I run, but check to see who's after me.
A Viper??? That's it. No more running from these little guys.
Brakes on, guns up. Turn around! Time to stand and fight!
Five minutes later, he was dust and he hadn't even scratched the paint. I feel much better now.
Over the next few hours, I assign several Vipers, a Cobra, an Imperial Eagle and even a Vulture (He was tough) to the afterlife.
On occasion I did run. I don't like playing with the big boys. And FAS and a Python also tried to introduce themselves, but I didn't hand around.
That was about as exciting as it got today. Pretty laid back, quiet but surprisingly profitable. My best yet.
10 straight hours. . . . I need sleep.
Let's see what tomorrow brings. . . .;)
