Bob the Keelback - without shields but with a mission!

[Tom2]

Day 3. - 18. June 3302 [13:33:33] Bob the Trader

A new Day starts!

Bob is going to deliver some Gold to Utley Dock in HIP 4103...

Bob is going to take off in 30min [14:20:00] in case someone wants to join him thats your chance! And what should Bob do after his 1 Jump trade route? More trading? Something else or do you let Bob decide?

[Note:

Do a barrel roll

he can but it wont look very good with screenshots but he is going to do ist anyways ]

 

[Wobblin-Gobblin]

Nice thread, good luck, Bob o7

 

[mbar]

Good luck, Bob. What is your current load out?

 

[JdoxRox]

up next in Bob's adventure, Bob gets interdicted because Bob is a Keelback, Keelbacks can't fight interdictions. Bob tries to deploy a fighter to defend himself but realizes that patch isn't out yet.

Bob has no shields, Bob is worried the Archon Delaine vulture with hardpoints deployed might not be so friendly.

Before Bob can combat log he is destroyed by the pirate.

The lesson: KEEP SHIELDS ON YOUR SHIPS YOU TRADERS/EXPLORERS!!

Day 3. - 18. June 3302 The Delivery

Bob is ready for takeoff!

Do a barrel roll!

There he goes!

After 1 Jump arrival at HIP 4103...

... in supercruise towards the Utley Dock...

...approaching Utley Dock with normal speed...

..."RISE UP NOW" and "NEVER SURRENDER" Bob sure will do!

[[Note: This Picture almost killed Bob because he was "blocking" (he avoided destruction within the last 3 seconds) the stations entrance if it happens and bob gets destroyed because of something like this should we stick to the one life rule or should we ignore it?]

Safely landed! Bob sold the Gold and made aprox 220.000cr profit and took some of the Credits to get a new A rated FSD!

What should Bob do next?

When you take your time to kill Bob make sure you will be close enough for a Screenshot because when i declare Bob dead in this thread i would like to have a screenshot of him getting killed by some... guy or at least come back for a photo shooting so we can recreate the destruction (because you may not know this thread is about documenting a keelbacks life with screenshots)

Bob tries to deploy a fighter

Do you want to be fun or are you just thinking that i am stupid and dont know that guardians isnt out yet?

All I was trying to do was make a little tongue and cheek joke.
I occasionally run escort for tradeships and I see some people take off shields and leave their ships vulnerable for more profit, not really aimed at you or anything.

Anyway great series, sorry if my last post sounded bad.

Yea it sounded bad but thank you for clarifying what you meant
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And Bob is still waiting for your suggestions! What do you want him to do next, a longer mission that takes a few days or a short mission? In the meantime Bob is traveling to Beta Hydri to visit the Farragut Battlecruiser wich was constructed during a Community Event.

 

[Tom2]

After 9 Jumps Bob arrived in Beta Hydri and after a short time in supercruise he arrived at the Invincible's position orbiting Homeworld...

... Bob was allowed to get in very close proximity to the Invicible so he did and explored the ship...

... wondering how many keelbacks could fit inside this behemoth...

... he did think about what would happen to the ship and its crew of thousands of people if a new war with the Thargoids would occour..

...will they all die in battle ? If not how many of them will survive the war? Maybe 200 of the original crew? Or will they guarding Homeworld the entire time with almost no casualties?

... if a war breaks out how many will die... billions? Time will tell...

Bob is now docked at Stevenson Base waiting for your suggestions.

Heres the comms Chatter for those interested

 

[Kaybe]

Go Bob go!

I love the Keelback, so I approve of this thread

 

[RogueMason]

Have a little wander out to the HIP 63835 system, it's about 200-500LY out from inhabited space and is crazy full of stars and a few black holes. It's one of the places that I recommend everyone visits!

If you're looking to go further afield than that at some point, the Bubble Nebula is lovely at this time of year

Bob now heads out to HIP 63835 for some nice photos! 16 Jumps!

 

[aRJay]

Perhaps Bob could have a go at Buckyball X.

 

[Tom2]

Bob decided to deliver some goods on his way towards HIP 36835 but unfortunately he encountered Pirates...

but...

both failed trying to interdict Bob...

... Bob delivered the goods and is now again heading towards HIP 63835

 

[FrogsFriend]

I'm away for a few hours and Bob's started living life on the edge
I was thinking that Bob should land and check out some POIs but then I remembered that planets were off-limits. So instead, maybe Bob could try and scoop up some Materials from destroyed combat ships in a Conflict Zone, if he passes one along the way.

With some Materials Bob could try and get at least one small Engineer Mod for himself [cool]

 

[Tom2]

After 12 Jumps Bob arrived in HIP 63835...

...and this time the Pictures will speak for themselves.

And this is the End of Day 3 Bob will remain in HIP 63835 near a warm star waiting for Day 4 to start.

[Notes:

Perhaps Bob could have a go at Buckyball X.

I think its too dangerous for Bob because he might get killed during the race due to collisions because he got no shields and he barely scratched the Commtower of a landing Pad wich did cost him 5% hull (but if more people suggest it i would probably try it)

For sure he can visit a Conflict Zone and scoop up some materials but arent all engineers on Planets?

If you're looking to go further afield than that at some point, the Bubble Nebula is lovely at this time of year

I already visited the Bubble Nebula with a Diamondback wich took some time so if more people suggest it Bob would try such a Long range mission ]

 

[MadDogMurdock]

Does Bob want to come mining?

I know he's not kitted out for it but we can hang out in a nice ring system.
You can take some nice pics while I mine, and then I'll drop a bunch of canisters for you to scoop.

Cmdr Mad Dog Murdock in game.

 

[Webferret]

Go Bob the Keelback

Enjoying your story Bob and looking forward to many more pictures. I do say, more exploration.

Bob needs some first discoveries in his name from exploration!!

 

[Hazara]

In BoB we trust - If you need a hand at any point dont fear the Angeli..

 

[Tom2]

Day 4. - 19. June 3302 - Still going!

Today Bob is going to visit the starsystem... Bob!

Unfortunately my CMDR is named Miepit and not Bob and i dont really want to start a new CMDR just for: "First discovered by Bob"

In BoB we trust - If you need a hand at any point dont fear the Angeli..

Ok how can Bob contact you?
