Grinding with friends
28 Apr 2020aNecessary Evil
I was fortunate today to be joined by a good friend of mine who arrived precisely too late, but just in time to see me fight off a type 10 plus wingmen.Just when I'd find the sweet spot in Borann where the lodes come thick & plentiful, these bastards show up with the intention of blowing the Consider Phlebas to pieces & waltzing off with my very valuable cargo.
Not this time!
Still, I had backup for a while to chew up this area, racking up 250t in around 90 minutes.
update: so, now I'm more confident where to start the mining run, the resources fizzle out into grit around 200km from the IP so I guess I can turn this crate around and start grinding back towards it. The Consider Phlebas has the turning circle of a herd of wildebeest & accelerates like a firework so best keep those shields up when I'm stepping between some of the bigger 'roids.
After packing the bays full, I set off back to Anderson Orbital in Irula to strip out the refinery & associated utilities, replacing them with FSD booster, decent fuel scoop then off the HIP 19934 where Botzee in his ship & I managed to sell for 1,560,000 per ton!
Including the trade bonus for us arriving & mining together, I made JUST over 900 million for today's run.
And boy did we celebrate in Forzo Dock's less salubrious establishments.
The hangover was worth it
