Lakon, you need to spend more money on marketing!

That Rum CG made me feel all giddy last week and I figured I would give it a blast for the cause. Only, hauling all that booze made me think wistfully about my abandoned T6 "The Moonshine Express". I hadn't flown it since 2.1 I reckon and I figured this would be the best opportunity to blow the dust off it. I even played around with my load out a bit and wondered if I might get the opportunity to goose a few traders with a well placed Hatchbreaker. Sadly that never happened but I did hit the top 50% for three runs between Kongga, Bast and Harma.

Trousered the best part of 17 million for that so thanks to all the Tea baggers and other hard headed CG haulers. I'm looking forward to that Rum.

After I collected my cash and while I was all misty eyed about my old T6, I thought I would take a screen shot of it and framed one nicely with the holo advert in the background. I knew they cycled through loads but I figured the Lakon one would be up after a couple of Delacey's and maybe a handful of Zorgon's so I waited.

And waited.

And waited.

I saw a lot of Remlok adds. I saw too many Zorgon Peterson ads. I even got bored of the back end of the courier in the Gutemaya advert. Achilles the robot can do one too. As for the Caine-Massey local mining company (Seriously, who?)
I even started timing it after a while. I mean, after the point I got bored I started to time it. Six minutes after I became bored I finally got the shot I wanted. Its alright too, but not great, certainly not more than six minutes great. Its blatantly obvious that Lakon need more air time. Everyone owns at least one variant and most people need more than one. So come on Lakon, get with the programme and push those Delacey's out of the adverts.

Also the advert is a bit dull and could do with more colour, infact, I think you need to rethink your entire campaign.

Great screenshot, especially considering the waiting behind it!

Its been a long time since I flew one and this post makes me want to consider one for my collection of ships!
 
They make good ships. The T6 is fast and can be used for most things except fighting. I've taken mine out into the black and nailed first discoveries with it. It earned its name smuggling dodgy cargo from one place to another, back when I was new and earning a million credits was a bigger deal than it is today.
That T6 might actually be my best investment from a return on costs perspective. My Python has earned me much more with Diamond heists but that T6 cost a fraction of the price and has brought in a lot of cash.
Plus with a little powerplant modification and a couple of fancy drive rolls you can convert it into a legit smash and grab bandit. Just don't get comfy!

I also own a Keelback. I have very little to say about that ship. Other than, getting out of it and into the fighter is a good thing.
 
The T6 is a great little ship, versatile with good legs when A rated. I use mine regularly and it more than any other ship has earned me the most cold harsh cash. Great canopy too, I can see why people explore in it. A fantastic ship, with no peers in its price range.
