l'appel du videThe void calls, again! And I, being in the right place, shall answer. Hence, Perseus Reach, 3306. I've got a month left to work on squeezing a few more light years out of Samba Tranquille before it sets off. Then I'm off into the black again. I've put...
renaming ceremoniesIt's not often that this happens, and when it does, it should be addressed with the appropriate gravity. It's bad luck to rename a ship, after all-- unless you take precautions. So it goes that I found that my Anaconda didn't suit its former name....
The Bill"let's see... 8,524 rounds of PDC ammo, 4,200 rounds of .50, 4,200 rounds of 30mm HEI, 811 rounds of 120mm HEI, 795 rounds of corrosive 120mm, 82 limpets... you've got cracks in the primary gimbal actuators for your pulse laser, the shutters on your...
As Long As I'm HereOne of the happy side effects of mining is that I've amassed several overflowing bins of mineral samples which-- while useful for engineering upgrades-- tend to collect a LOT. Fortunately there are always suckers out there who will happily trade a pile...
Meet The FamilyNow that I've spent the last week mining more painite than I care to admit, I've been able to re-acquire all of the ships I've had to hock over the years, filling my hangars again. So please, take a look at my fleet page for glamour shots of these babies. ...
Permits and PrincessesThe deal seemed decent enough, slap a sticker on my ship and three weeks later I'll get a permit for a fancy new set of shields. And it was a good deal! Right up until my cockpit lit up with warnings about entering a hostile system, which was exactly...
Sitting. Pretty? Eh.A paradox: the longer you're out in the black, the more money and resources you collect, but the older your trade prices are. Hence I'm here, at Neuberger Mines, a grubby outpost in Luchtaine with a hold half-full of painite and a pistol aimed at the...
Back home, back to workIt's funny, after long expeditions, the commute back to Colonia wasn't nearly as arduous as I remember. In any event, I dropped off my cartographic data at Pedersen's Legacy and made the hop over to Colonia Dream. And there, with its paint still blistered...
They'll always find you.Many years ago during the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission, Jack Swigert, the command module pilot radioed mission control in a panic. Instead of being a breathless report of some new life-threatening failure, Swigert's problem was something far more prosaic:...
OopsThanks to my recent good fortune with Painite mining, I decided to splurge and obtain a Krait Mk II. I've got one back at Ratraii, so this one is a bit superfluous, but I just love having easy access to a coffee maker right there on the bridge. In any...
