Buying my first ship: The Asp Explorer
13 Jul 2023Rayne Arterius
After a few days of running courier missions, working the trade routes and assisting Commander Brilliam with his mining ventures, I have earned enough credits to upgrade to a new ship. Although the Sidewinder served my initial steps into space well, I will need something more suited to mining and exploring. After consideration of all the different ships I can afford, I have opted for the Asp Explorer. I plan to spec her out for deep core mining myself in hopes of significantly increasing my income per hour.I have to admit, taking my first real step forward as a freelance commander is exciting. It makes me want to push more and harder to keep going on this journey.
I also ventured to meet one of the renown engineers of the Galactic Bubble: Elvira Martuuk. Thanks to her assistance, I have been able to upgrade my Frameshift Drive on the Explorer, pushing my jump range even further. I did not have the resources to supply to gain the best upgrades, but the upgrades she gave me will greatly improve my travel time in the Galactic Bubble.
