I'm making this entry in case something goes wrong. Not that I expect something to happen, it's just in case. I've picked up occupied escape pods along the way, maybe someone will pick up mine if the worst happens. The plan is to depart Helgrind (same system as CB-11) and head to Vladmir (which through doing some research, is the same system as CB-27). It's just over 5Kly. Was going to do it with micro jumps to scan more systems but plotter couldn't find a route. So, doing normal jumps, it says 143 of them with ship stats guessing that my current jump range is 40.2ly. This is going to take some time so that is why you may not hear from me for a while. I'll at least try to keep a running log (kind of like the last one) to post when I make it to Vladmir. Yes, I will make it there. Got to think positive.
Time to review. I started this with 2B and gone. It was really 2.001B. I'm at 2.1B. Can't complain. 100M profit so far. Was so happy with it, instead of sleeping aboard FTM Found Something, I decided to get a nice suite on Helgrind. But, as things tend to happen, I had thrown myself a little party. And, yes, she was cute. Wish I could remember her name, where she was from, or where she was going. The main issue is that I woke up in the bar. Didn't sleep in the suite I booked - or Her's. My head hurts. Just like a Sailor.
Here's my current rankings per the Inara reporting system.
Combat - Deadly 14%. 86% away from Elite. Not really expecting that to change any.
Trade - Already in Elite status. But, that's to be expected with me being a Hutton Trucker and all.
Explorer - Pioneer 77%. Just 23% away from being Elite. That's the real reason (besides needing credits) for this trip.
Mercenary - Rookie 37%. Enough said about that.
Exobiologist - Compiler 0%. Maybe I should pick at some more plants? Then again, I don't have a green thumb.
I'm currently in the pilot seat of the ASPx. It's 330904162200. Waiting on the droids to finish up doing advanced repairs on the ship integrity and touching up the paint (got to look good, right?). Everything else is 100%. Expecting lift off in the next hour or so.
