Log #1 - What is mining anyway?
23 Apr 2020Shizouki
Logbook of CMDR Shizouki, UGD 23 Apr 3306I started in this galaxy with a shabby Sidewinder and no clue how this "space" works. The Problem with space is that there is so much of it.
After 100hours in the sidewinder and a criminally bad equipped type 6 for doing trade missions, i stumbled upon a new magazine.
It was just lying around in a bar in the Velnambang system.
Maybe an action of despair, maybe a glimpse of hope but definetly not an action inspired by this dirty place.
So I read on mining and how profitable it is. How many new tools flooded the marked in recent times.
Abrasion blasters, Sub-surface displacement missile and other tongue breakers.
I will need to take some language lessions just to get these right, but i decided to buy an ASP Explorer and try my luck as a miner.
It was astonishing.
First haul, didn't know what I really did, Shot some mining tools through a planets ring, upset pirates and local law enforcements.
I even exploded a freaking asteroid just to find out that it rips the shields and sensors apart. Yeah, kids and fireworks.
So this first run gave me like 3 million credits... that's basically half the explorer without outfitting.
I'm gonna be rich, asteroids are gonna die. Today was a good day...
I should visit these bars more often.
