September 25, 3310.Yesterday I've decided to dip my toes into lucrative trade routes. At first, I've made a quick CQC run to the Caph system, got my merits and hauled a few goods. Checking out current routes, bauxite trading was on the rise, so I've made a bulk purchase and hauled to the Howard station. Got a good return, but it didn't quite feel as fulfilling as bounty hunting. So, after getting back to Somayaji and putting some hull reinforcements back, I've took all the missions available from different factions to hunt in the neighboring LTT system. After a few hours of shooting down renegades and deserters, I've got back home. The pirate ring has sent me official message that we are now hostiles and while it did put a smile on my face, the next message afterwards was much more entertaining.
I got tipped off about a crash site in a distant Manh system. A quick 10 jumps journey there, checking the surface with a map scanner and I've found it. The only thing - while i was told it was guarded, I wasn't expecting the guards to be local authorities' skimmers. It was too late once I've realized my mistakes - I've got a bounty for trespassing, after which they've opened fire on my SRV. Nothing i couldn't handle, but i am not one to break the law often, so, was a novelty for me. The crash site contained a few occupied escape pods which i hauled to the nearest Coriolis port. Luckily, the port also had an interstellar office, so I've cleaned myself instantly.
Signing off.
