Getting Dracula, Part 1: The Engineering Grind Begins
26 Dec 2020Sirius T. Dog
I had my ship's plan. My to-do list was this:- Gain access to Liz Ryder (invitation and fulfilling a contract)
- Get to 1/3 progress to level 4; get an invitation from Hera Tani.
- Get Imperial Navy rank of Outsider and provide 50 units of Kamitra Cigars.
- Get to 1/3 progress to level 4 with Tani, get an invitation from Broo Tarquin and then get him 50 units of Fujin Tea.
- Get Elvira Martuuk her 3 units of relics, and then get to 1/3 progress to level 4 so Zacariah Nemo sends invite.
- Get rank Friendly with Party of Yoru faction.
- Get 25 units of Xihe Biomorphic Companions.
- Unlock the Dweller: dealing with 5 black markets and giving him 500k credits.
- Get to 1/3 level 4 access with him to learn about Lei Cheung.
- Then need to get Cheung 200 units of gold only after trading with 50 different markets.
- Get necessary engineering mateirals.
- Grind the ~160 million credits needed to buy this ship and outfit.
- Courier for Aisling for a few weeks to get the Prismatics.
So far, only that first bullet is close to being complete.
I started the journey by venturing down to Eurybia, checking my ranking with the Eurybia Blue Mafia.
I was ranked as Cordial, the exact rank I needed; perfect!
The invitation to Liz Ryder was waiting to be completed, so I accepted and delivered the data to Scylla.
That's when I realized that even if I made all empty module compartments of my DBX, I would still be able to quickly courier cargo. So I called on ol' reliable; the ship that had carried me thousands of lightyears over the course of hundreds of hours: the Cobraship.
Outfitted for combat, exploration, and trading, it worked perfectly!
I headed over to Maddox Relay in Sugrivik and collected the landmines. It will take 7 journeys to meet the 200 landmine quota, but will I eventually deliver all 200 landmines!
