August 21 3302. Ready for the trip
22 Aug 2016Torrente
Vacations are about done. Hopefully no need for a mass evac like last year, but it's been two excellent, relaxing weeks. Time to hit the trade routes once more. I've booked my shuttle to Langley Gateway, so should be up and running before dinner time.I'm considering reaching out to the associates in Achenar Immortals. I believe more than one is in need to make fast bucks, and support from Zermina Torval's industrial complex could be useful. After all, I'm over halfway Tycoon, and I'm hoping to be promoted to Elite within a reasonable spawn of time.
Failing that, there's always Sothis... But I love to fly with people, what can I do.
So yep. For now all quiet. Will probably reinforce my standing with Torval, in order to earn the juiciest bonuses, but no rush on the credit runs.
As for the Immortals, I hear they're doing great, expanding around in the Paras cluster, and increasing their profitable trade routes. I'm very glad and will hopefully join them fast enough.
Also, I've heard Saud Kruger is issuing a new, bigger, tourist ship. I reckon it could be an interesting expansion for Torrente Industries, but just a stock Orca costs almost 50 million. I'm not eager to find out what that Beluga is gonna cost. My priorities are straight at the moment: restore my former standing with Torval, establish a profitable trade route and when that is done, likely retrieve the Pedro Duque in Kamocan and head into the black for a while.
I recently saw some pictures of the Orion Belt. Could be worth a visit... We'll see.
