So no-one's replying to the thread any more? That's a bad sign, guys...
Long story short, I'm coming back from my secret mission tonight, and I'm sad to see that exclamation mark after all this time. Short story long...
It's gonna take me a bit ere I can maintain rating 3 again. I sold my Python to get an FdL, thinking I'd have more money now than I do and would've bought a 'conda or Cutter by now. Life kinda got in the way, and I'm gonna be rather low on funds after I defect considering I'm buying 9 Pack Hounds tonight. Also, I've had a harrowing discovery on finally coming home to Kent Station in Gcirthi... the Revolutionary Party of Gcirthi, a Federal faction, are conspiring with Gcirthi Gold United Group to overthrow my people, the Pirates of Gcirthi. As much as I desperately need to start saving for a Beluga, everything's on hold 'til I sort this insolence. Any help would be greatly appreciated, but I'm aware most people won't be wanting to make a 10min supercruise trip to Kent Station so they're near a re-stock.
That being said, it's great to finally be back, and barring any major exploration trips or the emergence of a player-power of dodgy space preachers, I'm here to stay!
