So, the wife has gone out with her friends and I finally get the kids to bed, bliss a couple of free hours to explore Elite Dangerous Gamma 1.1
So start of in my sidewinder hauling 4 tonnes of scrap (seems appropriate) to Crampton port in Chembuka (think that's the right spelling) system. Intradicted a couple of times by NPC Eagles which were easily dealt with. Third time I get interdicted it is an ASP, initial response is to make like a tree and leave when I was helpfully informed that my opponents shields were already down. Tried my luck, little bit of hit and run, ducking and diving and though and behold I have my third kill of the night.
Another NPC kill but it was highly enjoyable and an excellent learning experience for combat skills against bigger gunned ships.
Anyway, by this time I have lit my cigar and just waxing my WW1 fighter pilot moustache as I dock in Crampton. Sell my scrap and just about to head of for another trading mission when some large cargo vessel upsets the authorities and very generously donates a load of coffee and wine cargo just outside the station.
Head out 4 times, get to use my fuel scoop for the first time and out smart the Feds with silent running making atidy profit of stolen cargo around 6000 credits. So a lot of new experiences and a thorough ablely enjoyable night. I was my 14 old year spotty teenager 28 years ago all over again.
This is probably small beer to some of you more experienced guys but I still had a smile on my face after two child's tantrums, one smelly nappy change and 2and a half hour drive to a meeting for work. Cheers Frontier, I am living the dream here.
