Right, so I severely overestimated the amount of choice I had. Colonia is fucking barren, or at least the Colonia Dream station in the Ratraii system. Some dream, huh.
I decided on outfitting the 'Conda with beams, pulses and missiles, but it severely lacked on internal components. I had to rely on the stock power plant, shields, even distributor. Everything stock. Wasn't a single A-rated module in sight. It forced me to get creative, do some manual work on my components instead.
I made the beams more efficient, increased the ammo stocks for the missiles, improved power distributor charge rate, gave the engines some more juice and finally overclocked the power plant so it'd be able to actually get that beast off the ground. Who even needs A-rated modules, right? I couldn't do anything with the shields, though, so I just strapped layer upon layer of external hull onto the bitch and also reinforced it a bit. Some heavy duty plating to lessen the risk of, well, death.
But, in the end, it was mostly for naught. Turns out the Colonia Council can't fly at all, despite plenty of their ships having bounties on them. It was slaughter, total overkill.
Next time I'll just rent an Eagle.
Comrey out.
