Colonia data missions?

[Schmack]

Anything you take 22000 LY should pay you really really well.

Turn the table around... try getting even an eagle shipped from the bubble to Colonia. It's expensive and should be, but then missions to Colonia should make you very wealthy. Going there and back should make you a billionaire.

DBX. Don't have the cash for anaconda, and the Asp just doesn't jump as far. I'm willing to take slightly worse internals for better jump range, means I need less jumps to get places. Oh, and the DBX fuel tank leaves me at ease if I hit a brown dwarf field.

I recommend you do a “shorter” trip first. You may find that the asp explorer is a better ship beforehand. Main reason is fuel scoop, fits a 6A versus 4A, plus a lot more outfit possibilities that may be needed when space craziness hits you. I burned myself bad in a NS just 9 jumps short of Jaques once, it was the only time dual afmus really saved my day. DBX is my favorite ship for bubble travel, but for exploration I always end up back in the asp, always brought me back safely. I am doing the road to riches now and started with a conda... too bulky. Anyway, my 2 cents: try out a dbx for 1000lys or so before.
