To the galactic core: first steps
14 Nov 2016Charlie Paulson
Never been much of an explorer, but some pay checks make a man think twice. Soon after I saw Ms Martuuk about the Hardrada's FSD, seems like word got around Wrangell City fast. Explorers seemed to like the idea of going places in a ship tougher than the standard explorer rig, given some of the dark tales I've heard about troublemakers who lie in wait in the galactic core.Well, one offer was so good I put it to the crew. Anyone wants out, I said, then we don't go. Once you leave the Bubble, ain't no-one coming for you save the Fuel Rats, and even then it's a long wait. Either way, they're all in. We made some changes at the Szameit outfitters. Repair kits, a scoop, extra fuel capacity, that kind of thing, but ultimately the toughness and firepower stayed the same. Jump range is still cresting 30LY on a low tank, so I figure it's doable, if painful.
Gonna be a long haul. Somehow I suspect I'll be sick of my own ship by the end of this little jaunt, but for now I confess I'm excited by the prospect of seeing something new, so into the black we go.
