0.41+Ly in Supercruise
22 Dec 2020Starnemesis
I finally made it to Hutton Orbital, 0.22Ly from the main star. It was such a long flight but at least I got a lousy mug. I picked up 45t worth of mugs in fact along with 14t of gin to go with them.I thought that I would take a look at the mission board and see if I could help out the Hutton Orbital Truckers, the famous squadron that first journeyed to Proxima Centauri. After donating some cash Sirius Corporation to help them out, I took on a mission for the Hutton Orbital Truckers Co-Operative. I only had to deliver 54t of lepidolite to Katzenstein Dock in 36 Ophiuchi, for almost 3m Cr. Should be a quick job, mot bad. I also knew that I could pick up some Ophiuch Exino Artefacts there as well. I filled my cargo hold with silver, figuring that I could at least sell it at LP 620-3 for about $15,000 profit a tonne.
Of course it was only that I got to 36 Ophiuchi that I realised Katzenstein Dock lay 0.14Ly away from the main star. Well shit. I settled in for a second long supercruise flight in a row. But I got there and delivered the lepidolite and 2t of silver. Then got to pick up 56t of Ophiuch Exino Artifacts.
A stop in Lp 620-3 on the way back to the Tavern let me offload the remaining silver for the 15,000Cr profit. I picked up some biowaste to drop off at 59 Virginis. Those guys always want that. A short jump later and I'm heading back home. I have decided to only sell 1t of each of those rare commodities to the The Tavern. I can make a lot more if I can sell it further off. Maybe Tiegfries. I have heard that they like natural fabrics so I filled the rest of my cargo with them.
I dropped into Dea Motrona on the way to Tiegfries and figured I would head over to Pinzon Dock to pick up another rare commodity, Motrona Experience Jelly. Of couse once I decided that, I realised that I had yet another long flight in supercruise only 40mins this time. Then I get there and find out that they don't have any of the jelly. Apparently, the Alliance doesn't want it sold. I couldn't even sell the natural fabrics for a profit. So I just refueled and plotted a course for Tiegfries.
After seven jumps, I made it to Tiegfries, a lot quicked than any supercruise flight so far. Larbalestier Dock is the place to buy Tiegfries Synthsilk. Shame that it is another long supercruise flight. Oh well, time to settle in for another 20 minute flight. They had Synthsilk in stock and I could get a great price on the gin, mugs and exino artifacts. Enough for the Pilots Federation to promote me to Broker.
I got a request from the Federal Navy to pick up and return some reactive armour. Good thing that the nearby outpost, Garnier Keep had them available. Only 5,662Ls away. Saved me another trip 100 times that length in supercruise. Had to evade a couple of interdiction attempts but got the goods back and earned a promotion to Midshipman in the Federal Nave Auxilary.
I think that the Space Duck needs a fresh coat of paint. But that is a job for another day.
