Doctoring the 'Clever girl!'
14 Jan 2022Eli the Dangerous
I've been working on the python a bit. She was a bit sluggish lately. So I got her a new drive. Stripped off the unnecessities for a dROU and welded on some extra armour. She got a new shield. Something fast-recovering for short burst combat.Then cruised the bubble on the Vatermann/Turner overdrive route and did the engineers thing. Of course not all modules are completely doctored, but perfection is a journey, not a station.
Found a system with a double star (Kairos). There was a station huddled up to the far sibling and literally every faction there had an issue with some pirates from one star further down the road. That's easy money. Every kill crosses one off five lists.
Yesterday I got interdicted! Yes! Me! I was on approach to a station and BAM! The commander didn't say a word and just opened fire. Some 'elite' in a cutter. He then proceeded to shoot my FSD fromunder me, signalled "gg." and left. If he calls that a "Good game"... I spent half an hour jerry-rigging the drive using an electric toothbrush and pantyhose but eventually got her to jump again. Only to be immediately interdicted by the same commander... He didn't even f0llow me in. I guess it was just donkeycavery.
Ah well... I got there eventually. On a wing and a prayer (The Mission UK blaring).
Anyway! Off to get the blue-haired chick some slips of paper so I can buy sparkly shields! Project 'Fightwinder'.
Now if only I could grow a second thumb so I can use my directional thrusters AND secondary fire at the same time.
