Hahahahahaaa, erm I mean boohooooo!! I had enough monies to buy a cobra, loaded it up with 55k worth of cargo to make enough to buy some big guns for it, been pootling around in a hauler for a few days prior to this and didn't take the extra speed of the cobra into account when I took off. 1 coriolis exit port collision later and boom! All gone, no problem I thought, I'm sure I saved enough for insurance to at least buy a new cobra. Went to insurance screen. I was 243 credits short to buy it :eek:

So, new sidewinder in hand, cargo full of stinky fish and away we go again :D

Yeah but 243 credits short lol that was the real kicker- if I was 8000 short then fair enough but 243 little credits was soooooooo bad :D

Glad you're so up-beat about it; I wouldn't bust too much of a gut getting the Cobra back as roll on beta 2 (two weeks) we're all going back to sidewinders & 100 credits anyways...:D

I don't think that there is a wipe for beta 2 as bigger ships will help with the exploring mechanism that is being added. The wipe will come for Gamma though so plenty of time to make the same mistake :)

On my 2nd day I finally had enough money to get an Eagle. After equiping it with a bunch of snazzy new weapons I take off. I hover triumphantly in the air a few meters above the launch pad. Starport workers everywhere stop their trucks and stare in awe as I gracefully retract my landing gear. I choose my destination, I'm heading to anarchy space, those pirates won't know what hit them. I hit the button. The wrong button. I smash into the tower at full boost.
I'm dead.
I have no money.
I'm back in a Sidewinder

I'm crying. :(

You monster. You didn't even take a moment to think of the poor sobs in the tower did you? What about their grieving families? You sir should be sentenced to toxic waste disposal duty for life you swine!

Keep the square warm. I'm sure I'll be back to visit before long.

I left beer in the fridge, though, so help yourself!

Take some risks:

-Go to a rich system (Aulin), and patrol the nav beacon for wanted type 6's.

-Collect their bounty, then collect the valuables. Consumer, Battle Weapons, Personal Weapons preferred, but Tobacco may do as well

-dodge federal patrol ships while you fill your Hold. Go cold to better your odds. stay >2km away from them. they are the group of 3, btw

-Find a station with either criminal element, or just really big population (Chango).

-Brave the docking, avoiding scans and Deathstar reprimands for having stolen cargo

-Sell them at the black market- More profitable than trading because you didnt pay for them

-Collect your bounty vouchers for patrolling the nav beacons

== much more interesting than trading.

Interesting, i thought there was always a wipe at major upgrades, but the exploration advantage makes sense.

It's a real shame you've lost your ship in that tragic accident. I hope you'll get some good deals on your cargo and will be back in a cobra soon!

That's made me feel a bit better that I'm not the only one to do that. :)

Good luck with the journey back - you'll treasure Cobra number 2 a lot more when you get her (I went the cheesy gold run round free port route to get mine back - couldn't face any more fish or crop harvesters)
