Getting the most expensive ships will probably be one of the last things I do.
How I played the last elite basically, to be honest I cant fully remember but this is the gist.
I started at Sol. Looked at the bulletin board to see what was happening. Some simple taxi mission? Nice that will get me going.
So you want transport to Barnard Star and you'll pay me 200cr? Right, I'll erm take some cargo along the way to make it even more profitable.
Ok, Barnard star, where to next, The Fed army want me to deliver a letter to Altair. And some guy wants a taxi there too, Rightyo, I'll take some cargo too. 3 birds...
A few days later. Got a bit rep now theres an Assassin mission. Not sure I'm ready for that. How about another taxi job till I got some cash for better lasers. You want to go where? Now we are getting into uncharted territory. Ok hop in, a little cash boost.
Woah, what did you say you did again? I got 2 Vipers up my tail that I'm sure have been following me. You wot? Ah great, you are wanted for smuggling, now you tell me. Ah well, full pips to engines.
That was a close shave, but we made it, and I got some cash for a new laser. Lets see whats going down at this spacestation. The armys recruiting again, lets see what I can do to help.
A few weeks later. Look at my shiny new ship, and now I'm building a nice rep as the 'get the job done guy' some interesting opportuninitys have opened up.
But hold on, That system over there looks interesting I think I'll take a look.
A few months playtime later. I been going this way for a long time, Where the hell am I? I Might see if I can make my way back to Sol if I can find it and see if anythings changed. Woah, actually, I'm truly lost now, I think I'll just go this way instead, Hmm whats this..
2 years playtime later. Wow!! I cant believe that just happened, and I just got enough for a Puma Clipper. Got the best 30 crew a man could hope to find, got lots of medals for services, I have respect in most of the local areas and plenty of cash in the bank. This should make getting to Elite a whole lot easier...
5 year later. I really hope a new next gen Elite comes out, ah well, back to this one... Will I ever make Elite? It has still been fun any and a epic journey trying.
I never saw an endgame.
But that was my story.
Most of it is completely hazy.
