A fine day spent travelling
06 Sep 2015Grey Pilgrim
Got up today to a round of rare trading, so I bought a T-6 and did the run from Zaonce to Lave, Leesti, Diso, Orrere and Uszaa, and from there to Witchhaul, Fujin, 39 Tauri, Bast, Zeessze and George Pantazis - and back. Two hours, about 1 Mio. Credits, and nearly bored to death. 
So I sold the transport, got my Cobra back and went pirate hunting and doing some missions. Some hours and about 2 Mio.Credits later, a first ASP loadout got affordable. So my trusty Cobra was retired, and I went on with Black Arrow. To put the new ship to the test, I decided to head out to Hutton Orbital. Quite a bit to go - 0.22 Ly, or about 6,937,920 Ls ... Should have started knitting to pass the time during this very uneventful journey. On the bright side, my meagre 56 t of scrap brought my to the 90% tier. Woo-hoo!
Got a fine, if not quite legal cargo back to Wolf 359 and made about 350,000 Credits. Nice.
Went pirate hunting once again, and got careless - facing a wing of 6 or 7 pirates, I took 3 or 4 out, then got in a dogfight with two Cobras, shields nearly depleted ... and missed the Anaconda joining the party.
Insurance is a good thing! Too bad about the bounty, but such is life. I'll remember to watch my back next time.
