:||: LOGBOOK MODE INITIATED. RECORD STARTS HERE :||:Roughly 10 days to go until the expedition departs the Bubble. Now that the expedition was officially registered and recruiting publicly began, the number of participants steadily increased - over 10 commanders. This is gonna be really fun, especially when the crew holds a feast at the carrier canteen from time to time. The more drunk people, the wilder party, the more fun.
Speaking of feasts, this one had a chance to look around in the fleet carrier when he moved his first several ships and ship parts onboard. Confirmed the main services crew were now completely renewed; they were already busy bringing in their stuff as well as getting themselves used to the new environment. That means, Renato - Tritium depot manager during the Outer Arm expedition was gone. Did he leave any contact information? Probably not. He will be missed. This one always liked his smile face every time this one saw when bringing tons of Tritium back to him. Did a chit-chat with the new manager Iris Montgomery for a short period of time.
Also had chances to check the in-house market and cargo sector. Looked like basic beverages and fresh foods were sufficiently loaded - beer, liquor, wine, coffee, fruits and vegetables. Wendel, commodity market manager, let this one know several rare drinks were also onboard. This one checked the cargo sector and found the names of Azure Milk, Kongga Ale and Lavian Brandy on the manifest. How sweet.
Having completed Tritium mining for one of my buddies cmdr U, this one headed to Attilius Orbital in CD-43 11917 to purchase a research limpet controller, which was recommended to have by the bridge. As almost all kinds of parts were available in this starport, this one also bought several sets of AFMU. Left all the parts purchased there, headed back to the carrier then ordered transfer service. All set in regards to the parts.
Still considering whether to bring the Federal Corvette onboard also ... most likely there would be least or zero occasions Vette's power is needed; yet that hugeness of the ship will surely give this one ease of mind whenever he sits in that large cockpit room. Should be okay, this one has got time to think this over, still.
Personal To-Do list
- Consider ships to bring onboard. Candidate: DBX, Python, Viper Mk III and Sidewinder
Consider optional internal parts to bring onboard.done- Restock each ship's cockpit storage with snacks and food cartridges.
Mine 200-400MT Tritium for commander U's fleet carrier for storage of ships not to be onboard the expedition carrier.done
CMDR Godthab out.
