So, after yesterdays escapades in the imperial systems. Where I shot-up a bunch of federation ships in the name of the emperor, of course. I smuggled slaves to the alliance and Sol. Found things quite easy to make money on, despite the fact I was in an eagle while using the 'Imperial Bounty Hunter' start. I had a real blast and lots and lots of fun. FD - you have nailed it. I really am looking forward to playing this start again!
I then proceeded to wipe the save and try my hand at the 'Independent Trader' start. I found myself with a cobra mkIII and docked at Lave. With just one hundred credits to my name, I played my game. First was the bulletin board. Lot's of lucrative haulage missions of which I took two to Reorte. It wasn't long as I was trucking my way across the vastness of space that I was jumped by an interdicting fighter. Being in a cobra mkIII, naturally I submitted and prepared to defend myself with extreme prejudice. Immediately locking it and turning to face the ship. As I did so, a hail of rounds hit my shield.. the adrenaline started to pump as my aim steadied and let loose pulse after pulse into the engine areas of the attacking ship. It wasn't long before it was a tumbling ruin of broken parts, exploding and myself claiming a 1,230cr bounty for my part in meting of justice. With a grin on my face I made it to the station at Reorte, successfully delivering the cargo and claiming my bounty. Leaving me satisfied and four thousand credits richer than I was. A tastey meal with fine women were in the offing for later that night.
Just some of the escapades of mine during playing various game starts!
A heartfelt thanks to Frontier Developments for providing me with the tools to have so much fun, in the remake of the game elite I enjoyed as a teenager.
Shok.
