Ant-Hill
03 Mar 2016Andrew Glock
LHS 3447 system looks like giant ant-hill now: countless of greenhorns bustling in and out, and also lot of other commanders who arrived here to join the new starport construction campaign.Considerable part of my time I spent trying to help new pilots according to Imperial Support Program for New Pilots, but it emerged that this not so easy as it seems: looks like most of those greenhorns don't use comms panel or no idea how to use it at least. Once I chased a greenhorn on Sidewinder to present a gift (couple of tons of gold) and decided to interdict him for more epic effect. As result - he pressed the panic button, starting to fire my Vulture and became Wanted. I even didn't deploy my hardpoints - just tried to get his attention through comms with no result. I let him leave of course and silently escort him to local starport, since I didn't want if someone shot him because of his legal status.
Nevertheless, another commander (CMDR _NOOP_) got his present (2 tons of gold) after all.
There were also lot of interesting acquaintances. In one of the belt clusters I met CMDR Valley on his huge Federal Corvette (never saw that jumbo so close before) fitted for mining and during my long trip to secondary star I met CMDR TAZ101 on his Anaconda - it emerged that he is also member of EDC, so we exchange contacts certainly.
And lot of bounty hunting of course...
Today I tried to track down Archon's CMDR on Asp Explorer (he has about 300k bounty on his head) but lost his trail in Liaedin system (damned Vulture's jump range). Maybe next time.
