Love and Tons of Titanium in Leesti
25 Aug 2022Buuhanon
Not every battle won via fighting. Humans are the engineers, building something that can protect, carry and assist our fragile bodies. Out of the weakness of the flash, we come up to the strength of mind and steel... or in our case "Titanium".Being a space trucker is somewhat interesting. You can watch whatever commercials, videos or documentaries you have missed while outside the bubble, nearby stations or away from homeworlds. Sustainable profit, with barely any risks - people always will specialize one system, and dump all their products into another, to afford their existence.
Another beauty of space-trucking, is communication with other pilots. It is an incredible, para-social experience. You can't really see them, but you hear them constantly chatting, exchanging stories, and bragging about what a ganker is and how you got to eat them properly.
However, this Allience defence program is a nightmare. Many Commanders unified into a coordinated effort to assist with the manufacturing of those useless, titanium bricks, which suppose to help defend from thargoid - which is likely to be inefficient and rendered obsolete. How many freighters remained in HIP 22460? Unable to jump out. Lots of them - so the question is whether there is really a point to building those.. But well, we will hope for the best!
For the moment, many pilots simply wanted to help to build a mega-ship. They didn't care about profits, it was a side pleasure and of course, the resemblance of our efforts. And so, when the time was running out. Many of us decided to organise and make decisive action! Bring a fleet carrier, packed up with dozen thousand tons of that bitter Titanium. If you ask me, I'd say it was supposed to be done from the beginning, but well..
Flapjack was the carrier that helped those in need. Whenever he come back in the system and announced of Ti-22 nearby, it was wiped out like hotcakes! In about 12 minutes, the whole 11k of Ti was taken, and the storage emptied. But it just demonstrated how desperately people need it! And so we helped. Organised once more into a group, and loaded this Carrier up on the edges of the bubble.
When we came back - 20k Ti was emptied just as fast as the previous one, just for 19 minutes. The landing pads were steaming and smoking hot, from all the ships landing and taking off with a massive blast! And it still wasn't enough. Maybe the creators of this mega-ship decided to manufacture simply a huge Ti-22 brick, that suppose just land on a goid and crush it.
And so, the long hauling began, killing people with boredom.
However, when we reached Tier 2 - the radio burst with happiness and o7! Since Flapjack was the one that helped massively. Commanders swarmed around this carrier, and landed. And finally, this Community goal concluded with massive orgy! Sry Jenx - your commander quarters now resemble a bio-hazard, don't try to wipe those stains by yourself!
