I did this three times because the roids were dark and I was 1.4meg LS from the sun. It was not fun to be mass-locked and not see what it might be on your scope. Thankfully I happened to get the Orion spur behind the roids and then I saw what had happened. It was a stressful time. Black ice in space. Take it from the old noob that it's real.

Took Bromellite to Bill Turner, along with a half dozen plasma accelerators, and had the genius enhance their performance. Long-range makes those plasma shells fly like multicannon bullets and a beefy overcharged Class-4 and Class-3 for a Fer De Lance build. Razorback Astronautics had some new members nearby and one had spent all his cash. With only 458cr to his name he had to make some fast. I flew escort for him from Minkowski Orbital to a few job locations. Seemed to do the trick until his Cobra MkIII got away from me in super cruise and I couldn't have helped him if I wanted to with that 60KLS lead he had. Took on a delivery contract for 960 units of personal weapons. With half completed I hit the bunkroom. Tomorrow, I will get the other half and share it with our new squaddies.
