Greed Goeth Before the FallLots of adventures but few diaries lately... ...so have been dinking around in my Type 6 doing BOOM transport missions around my "home base" in Ngolibardu. Many nice missions worth a cool million credits for one short jump. I picked up a...
Passengers can be a Gold Mine, or give you the ShaftCargo missions not paying much. Needed a break from Bounty Hunting, so I ripped out the cargo racks from the Asp Explorer and stuck in Passenger cabins. Got the first passenger run for a single jump of 14 light years for 1.2 million. Easy money....
Seeing the other side of InterdictionI've been interdicted countless times. Always a little clueless about avoiding it. Aim for the escape vector, keep the blue bar increasing. Sometimes it seems like I should be escaping, and don't, other times it seems like I shouldn't be anywhere close...
Surface TensionI figured it was time to expand my ...er...Horizons.....and see what a Planetary landing and a spin in an SRV was like. I retrieved my trusty mothballed Cobra Mk. III from the shipyard in McKee Ring, GD 19, where it had been sitting ever since being...
There's a lot going on here!!Been listening to Lave Radio and getting more of an understanding of the depth of this game and the "Background Simulation" etc. I realize I have only scratched the surface of this big galaxy. Been a Bounty Hunter, a Trader, a Miner, Honked...
Tired, Sloppy and Target Fixated - Recipe for disasterSo the night started out well enough. I was pretty tired, so eased into things by stacking some simple transport missions more for the Federal rank than the actual credits. Made stops at Orbitals and Surface stations delivering, buying selling, honing...
Tales from the GrindHaven't posted an update for quite awhile. Grinding away at the two Community Goals, ferrying metals to Worlidge in my pitifully small 32 ton Cargo toting Cobra. Doing a little mining as well to supplement the metal supply, especially when I can get...
Good experiences in OPEN spaceThanks to some advice from another INARA Commander, I made a rare trip to OPEN Play for some CG runs to LHS 3447 and some Mining. My usual wingmates were in Private Group but we chatted on voice comms and were far enough apart and doing different things,...
Updates for the last few days: Stay away from the Dark Side and sleep deprivationBeen running and mining metal for the LHS 3447 Community Goal in the Cobra for a few days. Started out hauling some Aluminum for a loss, then went to mine the Asteroid belts in LHS 3447. Decent hauls of metals, mostly Osmium with significant amounts...
Third time's the charm! FIghting for the Mother LodeI returned to Bhotho last night. First I tried FREY which supposedly had a Pristine Metallic ring, but it was a bust. Mostly rocky, but some Osmium to be found. I cannot count the number of times I was jumped or interdicted. Usually easily defeatable...
