CMDR's log - Booming commodities #01-0004

- 29.11.3306. -It's been over a month since my last log due to the amount of work, trying to sort out things. I was stretched all across The Bubble that I just couldn't get some free time on my hands, so now I'm taking this chance to continue where I stopped. I was talking about... ahh yes, the Apex Interstellar Transport with 4 of their Beluga Liners.
- Well, as it turns out, the Beluga Liners have been modified for long range jumps, up to 50LY. These ships are also equipped with standard AFMU, heatsinks, fuel scoops and first class cabins to accommodate the families and relatives heading for Ryker's Hope. Every ship was outfitted properly by A-class standards and triple checked in case something was missed. For once, I was happy what was accomplished here...
- The 4 Beluga Liners depart on the same date and time and are expected to arrive 3 weeks from departure with 1 week of R&R at Destiny Ascension. The officers in command of the crew, over at Destiny Ascension are prepared for their arrival as well as the crew itself. The contract I signed with Apex Interstellar Transport was a 1st major step forward and I've already payed the first rate out of many, required amount of credits to the agency. The services they offer are great, couldn't have asked for better. IIRC, they mentioned this to be their 1st attempt to reach a mobile station that is very far away and if they reach Destiny Ascension on time with no problems, things will be great and our business will continue.
- As for the 6 Cobra Mk. III's, they are still at Shinrarta Dezhra, waiting to be sent to Destiny Ascension. The problem is, I am unable to send them away from The Bubble, meaning I have to be on the FC itself and request for those ships to be delivered. The commanding officers at Destiny Ascension are not able to request for those ships manually, which is a shame. Due to how the policies are at the moment, I'll have to depart soon for the FC to get this shipment done.
- Due to recent changes in the market, the mining operations had to be paused for some time. As the prices of valuable metals (such as Painite and Low Temperature Diamonds) have decreased, a certain rise in value of other metals has gone up (such as Gold, Silver and Palladium). With the Imperial Cutter parked at Titan's Daughter station, Taygeta system, I've decided to personally make some deliveries to a nearby system, Electra, Cavalieri station. I was shocked to see that the prices of such deliveries (and we are talking about standard deliveries that go up to 180 tons) jumped up to 300%, which is crazy and we're not talking about Booming states of these 2 mentioned systems. In 2 days time, I've earned more credits than my mining operations in 2 weeks, which is absolutely amazing! 95% of these credits already went to upkeep of the FC. It's time to make the most out of it!
With the way things are developing right now, the future is ahead of me and it's up to me to make the most out of it. More information in the next log.
