Last night was really good for me. I met a couple of other pilots in the lounge area who talked to me about trading in rare items. They told me that it was highly lucrative but that I would definitely need at least an Adder to get into that line of work. They also said that the Adder would have to have some very specific and necessary upgrades. All in all, I would need at least 250k in the bank. A quick check of my account shows only 97k credits. Sigh...Before they passed out from too much ale, they also told me the name of a few systems where I can break into the rares market. After returning to Rhiannon, I checked them out. The nearest system where I could break into the rares market is the Altair system - some 62 LY away. Rhiannon can only do 11 LY jumps.
Woke up with a horrible headache. I'm sure it was from drinking too much of the local ale which they call "Ervatan Punch". I'm not really sure what is in it, but it tasted sweet. The effects really sneak up on you. Scanned the Bulletin Board for jobs to hopefully make some decent credits. Unfortunately, the only thing available was courier job to Gidzenko Ring with some legal papers. It would only pay 2k credits, but at least it would get me back out into deep space for a bit. Maybe it would help clear my head.
At Gidzenko Ring (Chamuda System), I took a job delivering medical supplies to Engle Orbital in the Frigha System.
The medical supply run would net me an additional 9.2k credits. I am going to really need to step up my game if I plan on being able to buy an Adder any time soon.
Time for another sleep cycle, then back at the grind...
