Options and then more options

"I'm beginning to think you have a problem" Sam my sales rep from Faulcon DeLacy tells me. "One that has earned me some nice commissions I might add" he follows up with. I laughed slightly, not because it's funny, but because there is some truth to that statement. I sign the papers and authorize the payment for my new Anaconda. "She will take a couple of days to complete the outfitting since your setting her up for guardian weapons and all the extra hull plating" "Just message me when she's ready, no rush" I tell him.
I head down to the market and then back to our place to cook a dish of fresh sausages and peppers with cream sauce and baby spinach that I created.
Jean arrives at our place after spending time in her office. We sit down and I don't even have to say a word, she doesn't even look at me and says "So the new Conda is going to be an anti xeno ship huh?" "Yep, want to have options." I reply. She knows that I have the Krait Mk II fully outfitted for Thargoid interceptor combat and that I have started to convert my Alliance Chieftain to that role as well. "You really should try out a FDL for that role as well, I have seen some great combat footage from very skilled pilots, it might get you to use a little more finesse in your combat and less brute strength.
"I see, so learn how dance around and not just trade slugs with other ships like I normally do huh?" "Yep" she replies. I think about the simplicity of that statement, but the profound meaning and if looked at correctly, a lesson to learn and new skills to acquire.
"Sold" I say to my fiance. I will research it and get the plan in motion soon. I want all the options on the table when it comes to fighting the big bad bugs. Finesse, speed and sheer firepower are a combination that creates wanton desire in a commander.
She isn't helping my ship addiction issues..guess there's a new FDL in my near future.
