Dear Commanders!
Yesterday I wanted to go for some passenger missions, not too far away, just in a reasonable distance from my starting point. Very well, I thought after buying a brand new passanger cabin, this will be easy money. But then it started, the passenger, some rich tourist started to demand things from me, even before I could set the course to the destination. Consumer technologies he wanted, I nearly told him to look out of the window, there he would have enough nice things to see, but then I thought about the money and got him what he wanted finally.
After coming home from that boring tour, I decided I am not really made for transporting rich tourists to some hotspots, while they have nothing better to do then watch some old telenovelas. It needed to be combat again.
So today I signed up to help a fraction in an ongoing war. I will be a hero in no time. That was what I thought. Switched to my cobra and got out combat ready. Went to the high intensity conflict zone first. Got attacked within a second, managed to destroy one FAS. My mood was good. Got attacked again, this time not so much luck, I barely escaped and headed for the station to repair. Why risk everything in the high intensity zone, I thought, lets go to the low intensity one.
Attack! No, what.. two ships attacking me at once, one a lousy cobra? That can´t be! Shields down, Thrusters and FSD offline. Hull down to 7%, canopy breached. There was I, fighting for my life. Where is that damn repair console. Restart - now luckily I managed to start my good old ship again. Wake out of that mess! 6 Minutes left. Yes. 500 ls to the station, will I manage it before my air is exhausted? The station is near! Now slowly, don`t spoil anything. Yes, station glooms with warm welcome ahead. 2 Minutes left. But what is that? I can`t request to land, can`t even call for help. Oh no, my sensors are down to 0%, the station is right in front of me, but its not possible to communicate anymore. Again that repair sequenze initiated. 1 Minute left. Taking a deep breath, one which could be my last, but sensors are back! Station, can you hear me? Ah.. landing pad 04. Thank you so much! Down and in. 0:43 Seconds left before I would have died. Landing, oxygen is back and I barely survived.
Cobra, you are a good ship but, there you go, back to the hangar. Hello Passenger Lounge! Who wants to be taken on a fantastic tour through the universe? What, consumer technologies you want. Sure, ... how many?
