Taxi for Rich Tourist, to Wherever?
15 Dec 2022Ian P
Given the situation in the bubble these days, I decided to try and help a little. As a result, a Dolphin was purchased, filled with cabins, and a number of rescue runs made to evacuate trapped citizens from the path of the angry death flowers.Unfortunately, those death flowers? They're really quite angry and they eat Dolphins. Five of them before I was even able to get a load of evacuees off the launch pad, let alone to safety. To be fair, I lost three of these before I'd even landed at a location where I could collect evacuees.
As a result, I'm currently off doing a Taxi service, wherever I can get decent paying missions (meaning anyone who'll pay a million credits or more, basically!) and considering whether I really want to face off with the Thargoids ever again. The only advantage of using the little Dolphin - apart from the replacement cost? You don't have to spend an hour in space outside a medical ship, before you can get a bay to land at.
I'm too much of a humanitarian to be mercenary for long, though. I'll be back in the warzones soon and racking up the number of new ships purchased again to replace wrecked ones!
