Well I finally made it to familiar space from around Chamunda with only a few bumps on the way. Lave at last, thanks to me fitting a fuel scoop and multi cannons (only D but they made mincemeat of an Eagle who made the mistake of interdicting a cargoless ship who outgunned him). Now to see if I can make the same kind of Wonga doing the old trade routes. Time to start enjoying ED, methinks.
