Getting Ready to Hunt
09 Oct 2022Sidewinder FIASCO
It's been pretty much the same formulae since the last log entry. Ranking up by running missions with the local factions, I'm now friendly with 5 of them and getting higher paying missions. Spent a few evenings harvesting HGE and USS then loaded up the SRV and took a trip to the Jameson crash site at HIP 12099 1 B to collect encoded materials. It turns out that the planet is volcanic and there are geysers and vents all over it (Odyssey) so as well a maxing out some high grade data I was able stock up on raw mats too. The wee Sidey is coming along nicely, she now has G2 dirty + drag thrusters, G5 enhanced range + mass manager FSD (you get a slightly bigger boost with deep charge but it sucks more juice and actually reduces how far you can go on a tank) and G4 fuel rails. The plan now is to toughen up the shields but to do that I need more juice from the power plant which means I need to get the Sirius permit to visit Marco Q. After that I'll look at some armour improvements, hahaha mining 500 tons of ore in a Sidey to unlock Selene is going to be a grind. Right, I'm of to Alpha Centauri to ingratiate myself with the Sirius corporation. Oh dear lord what am I thinking, Alpha C - no no no, going to Luytens Star.
