Combat skills, check!

Cmdr Log: 31 August 3305Went on another ride-along with Cmdr. Kristopher Korzakhov - Korz - in his Python, the Syren. Great ship! We jumped over to a few different haz-res sites in the Umbila System. We ran across a bunch of wanted thugs. Most of them flew Anacondas and Cobras. We had no issue taking them out, and for the first time, I actually earned my combat rating as Korz's gunner. After an hour or so of intense combat, we'd go back to the closest terminal and reload and go back and get more. What a day, and I made over CR2,000,000! You can't beat that.
During moments when we could communicate, I told Korz about my new ASP-EX and he gave me the run down on what equipment I'd need for mining. It was but a few weeks ago that he and I went mining together. He showed me the ropes, and I hope I remember what he taught me. I will most definitely ask him to join me as my escort because today, as we battled, in the background were miners just trying to make a wage. It's a shame that pirates and wanted griefers need to mess with them. With Korz watching my six, I should be fine.
After I go back to Ray Gateway after flying with Korz, I visited the outfitter station and bought all the equipment I needed to retrofit the ASP-EX, the AUROUS I decided to call her - a word for gilded metal or gold. She doesn't have the 5A FSD that I want, but as soon as I make enough credits, I will upgrade her later.
It's been a day. Kind of tired. I think I'll turn in for the night.
