33010728DSKINFAXI / WATTS CO-OPERATIVE
After a long shoreleave, I decided to switch ships again and go blow up pirates in my old Eagle. At ROSS 769 I picked up a pirate hunt for JARNAE, which lies nicely within my current area of operations around SKINFAXI. Several small Sidewinders were no match for the Eagle, and I even got the drop on a Cobra and manage to stay on its tail and out of the firing arcs of their weapons.
The bounty claims, together with the pay for the mission itself allowed me to buy a shiny new combat ship, the Viper.
I even had made enough money so I didn't have to trade in my Eagle, although that may still happen. The Adder is somewhere along the transition between trader and starting explorer, while the Eagle is optimized for bounty hunting. The Viper will be fitted for hunting as well, leaving me with the option to either sell the Eagle or outfit it for courier duty, maybe smuggling - short range, high speed, small cargo hold, and able to defend myself if detected.
But for now, I'll have to get accustomed to the Viper and make some money to start buying proper modules for it.
