So it's been 6 days and I think I'm doing rather well.
I chopped in the Mercenary edition Eagle and ran away with the cash to start trading. I figured since I'm wholly crap at combat I needed a well equipped ship to compensate before I go bounty hunting or generally looking for fisticuffs.
I started trading and looked for a decent round robin of several systems that would give me a decent return. Easier said than done and I made some silly trading mistakes early on. However, on day two the Sidey was safely mothballed and I was the proud owner of a Hauler a'la Ford Transit.
Another day of trading and I managed to scrap together 400,000 or so CR. I traded in the Hauler, which only had a few hundred light years on the clock but had developed a strange knocking sound and the heater no longer worked. By hey, the work house served me well.
The Cobra MK III is like a BMW compared to the Hauler. It's fast(er), it makes me look sexy and I no longer feel the need to indicate when leaving star ports. I also stick firmly in the outside lane in Supercruise. I know, I'm an inconsiderate bar steward. But like a BMW the Cobra seems severely lacking in optional extras and I need an extra 10,000,000CR to trick her out fully so she will kick ass in a fight. Remember folks, I'm lacking appropriate genes for effective combat so your mileage in a standard BMW may vary.
So I traded for a couple more days to plunder 1,000,000CR for a Type 6. The Cobra is now in the garage and in need of a good wash and polish. It was just too slow to make decent CR in a Cobra. The Type 6 has a face only a mother could love so I tend to close my eyes when in Outfitting as some things can't be unseen.
And here I am, like a stockbroker in a flying cement truck playing the market for all its worth until it crashes before my very eyes. Then hopefully the federal government will bail me out.
Thanks for reading
