While I was out in deep space I could think of a millions things I wanted to do back in the bubble but as usual upon returning nothing really sounds good. I've spent a couple days evacuating passengers from damaged stations, it's not particularly lucrative or exciting but it's something I've not done much of in the past so it was kind of fun to do something a little different. The only time I recall doing evacuations in the past was more of a fluke, I had spent a week out in the Pleiades doing some CGs and some other missions. On the morning I was planning to leave I went to turn in my last mission only to discover the station in flames. So I went ahead and docked, turned in my mission and installed the few passenger cabin modules I had stored at the station and took a handful of passengers out. This time I went in prepared, I took my Exploraconda and loaded it with economy cabins and made quite a few runs but it got old after a little while and I'm looking for something else to do.
So I finally managed to grind enough rank and credits to buy an imperial cutter! Except, hang on... I don't have any money to outfit this SOB! Goddammit, back to tritium collection missions, I suppose.
well, I just tried to help out and managed to have TWO goes at rebuying my Cutter... donkey, I am!
Might revert to shipping them some meds to cover my shame... the burning station was a bit of fun tho (even if the evacuees were a bit impatient).
Were you on LV-426?
(I am not a geologist and my GF, who is, is in the field at the moment - no not the field behind the house, silly.
)I'm sorry Margot,that was a bit mean of me. Oops. Lack of sleep tends to make me a mite tetchy at times.
@Para Handy Thanks for the link, but i'm in no state to deal with cookies atm. I'll take a look tomorrow.
So, I equipped [GR-05T] "I am Groot" (my 9 heavy) with mining gear a few days ago. Managed one half sitting (3 hours, some 11 million credits in a single painite hotspot).
But I am doing it mostly to get the 500 ton mark for engineer access.
Then the terrorist attacks came on 10th September andI moved over to one of the struck systems to help out (and get me some imperial reputation).
Mixed success, so far only close to blowing up twice so I have made money, is allied witha few imperial factions and gotten some engineering meterial.
That barge is not fun in a burning station but it is a bit of a challenge at least.

One o' fthese days, I'll make sense of the Codex. That day isn't today though
Found another NSP - which seemed the same as one I'd found before:
The Codex gave me some cash for it:
... but I can't see why - the date of the find, nor confirmation are in it. One to puzzle over.

You get credits for things you have found before if you find them in a new sector.One o' fthese days, I'll make sense of the Codex. That day isn't today though

A lot of those spaceborn finds look similar and have similar names.
That is a substantial reward though, my usual Codex rewards are 2,500
Did you recently enter a new sector? If so you have probably crossed the border.So all types of e.g.poi's will give you a bonus for 1st ,by you,disco in that sector.One o' fthese days, I'll make sense of the Codex. That day isn't today though

This also happens for NSP's and many stellar and planetary types.
Ah yes, I had just leapt into a new - for me - sector. And yes, 50 large is quite substantial.
For my next trick: Raxxla.
Wonder how much of a codex reward I'd get for that?

I'd guess, 500k codex reward to lure you in - and a 5 Million bounty to attract headhunters from The Club to prevent you from talking.
Well, i can tell you where it ain't. [MYRIESLY MS-J C22-5696].Definitely not the second satellite of the seventh planet.Ah yes, I had just leapt into a new - for me - sector. And yes, 50 large is quite substantial.

I stepped off the fence.
A moment later, Sookie Stardust, my faithful exploration ship landed on her new home, the "Chormondley-Warner (XNL-00H)". The "ooh" bit there was me kissing goodbye to half my bank balance. Still, onwards and upwards and now I can become part of the infestation of the bubble by carriers. Mwahaha.
Not going to have much time to do anything today, so I'll probably just look into getting ships and services loaded. No idea how yet.
It feels quite something actually. A new sense of "W the F do I do now? How TF do I do that?" No idea but it'll be fun times working it out.
I am massively behind with this thread - still hooked on the game, just been caught up in squadron stuff and complex work/kids life - just haven't managed to make time for the forum, but am still around and wanted to say congrats on the major purchase!! It has been coming for a while, hope it is all you want it to be.
In terms of what I am up to, have been working on my combat rank, using a Mamba, am halfway between Master and Dangerous.

Your reward would be escaping the Raxxla security services. Rumour has it that their ships can hit 950 without boost and are equipped with size 6 long-range beam weapons capable of one shot killing an Imperial Cutter at 15kms.Ah yes, I had just leapt into a new - for me - sector. And yes, 50 large is quite substantial.

And what am I up to? Have also recently spent a lot of time doing Guardian unlocks. Now have Guardian fighters, shield cell banks, weapons, in odd combinations depending on ship. Also bought and outfitted a Challenger to have a go at Thargoids, again with Guardian weapons. Also a good opportunity to practise combat with fixed weapons. Mamba for non-Thargoids, Challenger for Thargoids, Corvette for when I have bitten off more than I can chew.
Better equip the 1D Khazi (blast resistant, flow control).
Welcome back!

Well before all this Galnet excitement I was a returner in mid July, started trading Tritium until profits dropped
built up my mats to go engineer hunting, managed to get to Felicity for the g5 FSD
plan was to go and get the guardian FSD booster then off to hunt down the engineers, rest of the guardian stuff before osyssey broke lose
now Galnet is here and i'm saving the imps from burning! now thinking while i'm here ill get me rep and rank up to buy the rank locked ships, rank up to get the vette and then go back to plan A
well, until Galnet throws another spanner in the works!

just finished a mission to retrieve 5 ceramic cargos from a planet? wulpurna > Patrick ring I had to do it twice has the ship got stuck in the building.784,000k those skimmers are little B's had too get right up to them before they attacked, then reversed so i could target them
losses 1 srv
8 skimmers (teehee) at 1,000k each
retrieval missions completed 3
