HIP 17272 - That new spaceship smell...
24 Jun 2019Mos Superum
==== BEGIN LOG ==== I'm sitting in this pilot's chair -- trying to take it all in.My first Python.
Hold on -- uploading a photo...
I know there's thousands -- millions? -- of these floating in the black, but it's my first. Everything smells new. I haven't even pulled the plastic off the co-pilot's chair.
I got the green one -- I think everyone gets the green one, though. deLacy really needs to offer some more default paint schemes to their customers. Especially with the scrip I'm dropping on this thing.
Sadly, it'll get a utilitarian paint job in a month. The paintjob won't matter anyway. It'll be scraped to hell in the rings anyway.
Such a nice new ship -- and I'm gonna turn it into a rock hopper. I need something faster / more efficient than my Asp Explorer. I LOVE that little ship, and I'll never sell it.
But I need the bigger cargo space, more mining gear, etc. I can't continue to scrape by in the black. I'll need to reach out to some engineers I know, though -- doing the test drive around the station was a bit of a bitch. She needs to be more maneuverable in a belt. The Asp is hard to beat in that regard.
OK -- OK -- I gotta relish the moment. Stop thinking about income.
Showroom new. Showroom new. Showroo--- what the @&#! -- is that a scratch on the comms panel? ==== END LOG ====
