After a few hours of sorting out logistics I have finally arrived in Merope.
Given the recent track record of stations malfunctioning I have decided it is not too presumptuous to think the station problems are an accident. As such the Federation has signed off on plans for me to bring a more heavily armed ship to aid in the search for these artefacts. Therefore, I present the FNS Gascoigne;
A mix of warfare and exploration, I have abandoned my ''no weapons'' approach in favour of a much fairer rule;
The weapons STAY concealed until two conditions are met;
1 - I am fired at first by unknown/alien entities
2 - The level of incoming fire puts my life and federal property at risk
Only then will I return fire on whatever might be out
Say hi if you see me out and about. in-game CMDR name is the same as my forum name
Nice rig flyboy but honestly as an ex Fed Navy pilot I would have stuck with a more recon centered approach and taken a smaller ship... where do you plan on landing that turkey if the terrain gets rough?
