Still about 12.5 kLy from home.
And I just found out I have until Monday to do my tax returns, so I got a 3 day reprieve. ;)
Now I expect to be home on Thursday (day off).
It's time to give this another go.

I've found it to be too sluggish with bulkheads, too.

Just make sure you have a few SCB's left when you take on winged Condas and you'll be fine. ;)


Yeah i usually learn fast :lol:

But i sure thought that federations top of the line combat ship would have good armour to start with, but it looks like Anaconda has better stock armor :shock:

I thought I had it bad at 2 times! I was in my type 6 last night going into Kooi, there is a reason I have top end shields, thruster and power coupler, but I do need to up my emergency air!


no kidding, I have A rated thrusters, and solid shields, but the space cow is just not good at combat, and this whole "instant interdiction minigame fail" glitch makes you have to wait out a long cooldown AND take hull damage, even if you submit, sometimes.

ED Tracker ordered... I hate waiting, I even tried finding out where their HQ was to find out if it was easier/quicker to go and buy one rather than wait for delivery :P

Had some close encounters and a nice wing :)

After that went to Azrael to take out some pirates and managed to find wing 3 anaconda pirates. Good thing they were all mostly harmless so i took them out. Still had to use few shield cell banks during that fight. :D

Today I'll have to take a forced break from combat, after all you need your released in good shape for that. Mine are rather dulled at the moment since I'm under heavy medication since this morning. Meh... I guess I may try some exploration perhaps.

Pulled the trigger and sold out 'Arnie'conda and picked up a Cutter. I won't bore you with a Driver Review. Will just leave you with some numbers.

2.5 hours lazy trading.
About 30 million made.
4% Trade rank Improvement from 36 to 40% Tycoon.
Approx 120K in bounties.
Making about 4189 credits per tonne.

It has its uses :P

Thanks to CMDR Jack Dunhill for travelling 130ly in his Vette to help me out only to find in the end that my dormant bounty (smoked some poor Asp in a RES by mistake) had already been removed. Ended up winging up for a bit anyway for some pew pew. Great fun, awesome to see his Vette close up in my Oculus :D

was originally rare trading in my cobra III, I'd dropped the weapons for the better jump range with extra cargo holds, then decided to give a type 7 a go as I often don't have enough credits to pick up all the rares that a station has.

A few runs from Lave and back in the cobra got me an entire rank of Trade, up to Merchant now, and it got me 87% of the way through Explorer rank but I figured that I wouldn't get any more as I'd be jumping through the same systems...

Just did the first half a circuit in the Type 7 and due to the differing jump ranges ended up getting enough new exploration data to push me over and 10% into Surveyor lmao!

also, I have just ordered a mug and pin badge from the mobius store :D
