Being an impatient person I have in the past traded up my ship for one I could not really afford and subsequently lost it (with no insurance). It was a hard lesson, but one I learned well. This time round I was determined not to make the same mistake again. A while ago I found I had enough money to buy a Python (my dream ship), but not enough to equip it. I bought it anyway, but this time I put it in the hanger and left it there. Back in to the Vulture for me, and off to make a bit more money.
Gradually I built her up, adding bits and pieces here and there. I have just had a very profitable couple of weeks so have at last managed add the last bits of equipment I needed. It has taken me 2 months but now I have:
A7 power plant
A6 Thrusters
A6 Shield generator
A7 Power distributor
A6 Sensors
2 x Chaff launchers
A5 FSD
2x class 3 pulse lasers
Class 3 pulse laser turret
2x class 2 rail guns
...a few other bits and pieces and of course ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE INSURANCE
I was at last confident enough to take her in to combat. I flew off and dropped in to a CZ. Loved the weaponry and loved the way the shields held up, but the manoeuvring took some getting used to. I did get used to it though and once I had modified my tactics I soon got in to the swing of things. I am sure there will be some tasks I will swap back to the Vulture for, but from now on I think the python will be my main ship.
Next time I see you guys out there it will be in my beloved 'ARCS Epiphany Rising'
