Another war, another credit
28 Sep 2016Tristan Pacheco
Considering our current orders deal with trying to recover stolen intelligence from the Empire, I was a little surprised when we were redirected back to Barnard's Star near Sol. There's been a war raging in the system for about a week now, and for some reason the Navy has seen fit to deploy capital ships and us to the system. I'm not big on conspiracy theories, so I have to wonder why the Federation is putting the bigger issues on the backburner. This is coming somewhat shortly after the Federation decided to appeal for exploration data from the Pleiades, which any pilot worth their salt will know is pretty well documented at this point, thanks to the presence of the meta alloy deposits. It all seems a bit suspicious to me, but I'm not complaining. Fighting alongside capital ships almost always means tons of free kills going toward my next combat rank-Deadly. Furthermore, whatever nearby system faction that's trying to take control is giving me loads of credits for the operation, on top of what the Navy is already paying me, so it's been a good couple of days so far.Also, update on my ship: I'll be getting a fighter bay before too long, in addition to my SRV bay. I had the hangar inspected, but I had it filled with cargo racks from quite a while back. It shouldn't be too difficult of an operation to remove the racks, but my UI needs an update that will actually allow me to telepathically link with the fighters (Damn, welcome to 3302), and that is for some reason incredibly hard to find, and certainly won't be free. I've tried contacting the Pilot's Federation, but they say they won't be able to get it for me for another month, so I'm gonna see if I can get it sooner from the Navy (yeah, right). In the meantime I've actually started reading the Fed Navy's manual for fighter tactics, and I gotta say, it's pretty in depth. Anyway, until next time,
