Wei Cao, logging in new data.Yesterday i bit off more than i can chew. I took a massacre mission for 72 ships and found the hard way that I don't have the necessary firepower to execute targets quickly enough. I've spent 4 hours flying in low conflict zones and couldn't kill quickly any target aside from and occasional non-chaff asp explorer. So when the time ran out, i had to abandon the mission. Cashing in the bonds returned me to an allied status, but it still left a sour taste in my mouth. Reason is - it was a 2nd mission i failed yesterday. The first one was the wing mission and somehow i missed that it wasn't a week-long mission, but just 24 hours long. Of course, once i sat in the cockpit it was already gone, and the director Stevenson had sent me a reprimand.
I returned home to CD-54 and felt really humbled. I need mats and better outfitting in order to do these types of battles alone. Also, I've used up all my iron and nickel creating bullets for my guns during fights, since I've ran out of ammo quickly (which made these 4 hours even more grueling). So, mining it is. Will need to take a few missions for influence for mining in order to be useful. I've learnt my lesson - let's see where it will lead me.
Also, my application finally got accepted. Cheers!
