So I watch the video by The Mighty Jingles and my randomly mooching about until the reset plan got blown away. I HAD to see this. I'd 50K and a slightly tooled up sidewinder (mooching and not huge amounts of time to play) so I got an Eagle, 2 gimballed burst lasers and a gimballed multi cannon... then started for Eranin. From Ross 490 it's a bit of a trek.
On the way I found out what happens when you have a 107% power draw (Emergency Oxygen! Eeek) and worked out if I turned off my Cargo Hatch I'd JUST have enough power to deploy all my weapons at once.
Made it to Eranin, found the Federation Distress Signal and dived in. Barring the tutorials in Beta 1 (when I was still using the mouse and couldn't get the hang of it, just not my style) I've been avoiding combat looking at trading. missions, exploration and mining. Running away has oft been a strong tactic.
But I loved it, I saw the Federation Captital ship, doing a really close flyby at one point which was neat, and bagged me 3 EPP sidewiders. Loved it.
Of course with my messed up power my sheilds were a bit wobbly and the 1050cr I earned just about paid for the bullets, repairs and fuel. But it was fun.
I've now sold the lasers for more Multicannons (for a warzone, Eranin has a terrible selection of guns) and tonight I'm going to go an pew pew some more sidewinders.
