Feeling Better: The Start of my independent career
24 Jan 2022Utmouse08
Ugggghhhh..... Hangovers are the worst. But, I'm alive, the ship is docked and undergoing repairs. Had to rework the whole powerplant, and thank god for AFMUs. But I always feel bad and give my ships extra TLC when I get docked after a bad incident that's my fault.
Anyway, where was I.
Oh, yeah, so I got my Pilot's Federation License like, 5 years ago. Feels like forever ago.
I spent some time doing a bit of it all.
Flying combat missions in combat zones. (Mk2 Eagle).
Flying miners in HAZ RES and keeping the peace. (Keelback and Type-6s).
Flying missions for the Federation, specifically data and cargo transports out of Rhea (AspX).
Flying out into the black when I got the itch to be alone (DBX).
Flying blackbox retrievals and cargo retrievals for Federation or Independents (FDS/FAS).
If you cant tell a pattern, well, I love Lakon and Core Dynamics.
So, after a while of doing a lot of the same thing, doing it over and over, I was feeling pretty good but wasn't feeling the love of it anymore. And then, well...a few things happened and happened fast. I dont want to get into the specifics but needless to say SNAPPED is a term I would use. I spent some time drydocked and up with the family.
But I'm back.
I'm flying again.
It feels good. Like, really good.
I found a Squadron too. They are a lot like me. We get along great.
Thats why I'm on this FC out in the black, making my way back to the bubble.
And I'm EXCITED. Like, feeling really good.
On this trip, I hit my Elite Ranking in Exploration. When I get back, I'll probably get my Elite Ranking in Trading too. I'll be getting some new Lakon's in the garage too. And I'll keep working for Winters and my Squadron and Keep Exploring.
If this got too long, I'm sorry.
But, I'm feeling good...and I think 3308 is going to be a great year.
Until then,
Fly Safe and Stay Sane
