Is This Thing On?

Hey look, it's a journal! Guess I have no excuse for not recording things now.I've only been a licensed pilot for a few days. I've been using my little Sidewinder to slowly accumulate credits and figuring out... stuff. Mostly courier jobs, since I don't have a lot of cargo space. I speculated on some Non-Euclidean Exotanks, but so far, I've not found a place to sell them for a profit, even though I got a way low price on them. Maybe that's a regional thing and I'll do better if I get farther away.
Meanwhile I think I'm ready for a bigger ship, maybe an Adder, but I don't know if it will have room for my planetary exploration gear. Not that I've done any planetary exploration, mind you. I haven't figured out how the scanner works, or even if I have the right one. Some galactic explorer I am, huh?
What's the convention for naming a new ship if you really like the name of your old one? Zero Gravitas is pretty much the best ship name I've got, so do I add a "2" or "II" on the next one if I reuse it?
Oh, one notable thing: I got attacked by a pirate, but I was able to not only fight her off but collect a small bounty for her. I probably shouldn't have fought her; all she wanted was a ton of my cargo, which - even thought it's rare - isn't really worth the risk. But I was just so pissed that she grabbed me out of FSD that I didn't think. All's well that ends well, I guess.
These stations, though. They're all pretty much the same. No amenities to speak of - all spaceport bars look alike. Come to think of it all spaceport bartenders look alike. And the available mission boards paint a very grim picture of war and violence that I don't really care to be part of. I wonder if things are different in other parts of the galaxy. Hope so.
That's it for now. Gonna catch some shuteye and then figure out my next move. Cheers!
