Colonia - Third Time's a Charm
24 Aug 2020Space Boomer
My fleet carrier pulled into Colonia two days ago. I pushed the last 4000 miles to try and catch up to a fuel carrier that had a hold full of tritium, and I just made it. I took most of his supply to top off my tanks to 21,000 again. It was outrageously expensive, but I've been saving up for this trip for a year, so I was ready. It took me 5000 tons to make it from the bubble. I plan on using at least that much to push on from Colonia and ultimately anchor my carrier. I will have plenty of fuel to make it back.Before I leave I plan on taking some missions. I've taken down five pirates, and I mined a local tritium double hotspot. The mining was much better than my earlier attempt, but the area was swimming with pirates. I guess the security is a bit diluted out here on the frontier.
This is my third visit to Colonia. I like the nebula as a background, the stars are much more dense, and Jaques is a hoot. But the whole place feels a bit unhinged. I'm not sure that it's the safest place. I feel that I'm being watched wherever I go.
