Dunno what would happen because I cannot accept......Just hope I'm not missing anything BIG......

Also on another note....Looks like I've done as much as I could to my lovely Sidey.......

That's gonna become a Cobra I think.......Although I really love the amount of view you get with a sidey......Especially in combat...........



Or could trade em both in and get a type 6........

Dunno though....I like the option of two ships............

Decisions.....Decisions........*Hic*

I finally got a mission to gain rank in the Federation, it was from a Naval Logistics Officer.

However, it was just a mission to get X and take it to Y, and seeings how my viper has no cargo hold, I guess I will not be pursuing a career in the Navy.

Nice work on your Sidey, Kharma! And congrats on your rank advancement. That mission prompt looks like the one for a permit to Sol but you might have already gotten one as a preorder reward. I've read that some people got them as a bonus and others for whatever reason didn't. Not sure if I have one, but then I've got plenty of navy missions to catch up on. :P

I also want to own multiple ships but I hate the idea that there's no convenient way of relocating them to different systems. Hopefully a kind of ship transport feature will be added in time.

Over the last few days I made enough to trade in my Adder for a Cobra. I upgraded the cargo hold and got gimballed pulse lasers and multicannons, along with a K-warrant scanner for some bounty-hunting action. Then it was off to the nearest Nav Beacon to look for trouble... and fun times were had! :D

Although I did feel a little bad about this...

Does this mean I broke the laws of physics? :P

He was worth a good amount, though. Something like 12k if I'm not mistaken... so no regrets there, heh.

I had so much fun bounty-hunting that I think I'm going to take it up as my main "profession" until I make enough to afford a Type-6. I've yet to figure out how to make profitable trade runs consistently though. At least killing baddies should keep me in the black for the meantime.

Isaac Newton novice? That's not right!

About moving ships from one system to another, the way I did it was by temporarily buying a Sidewinder: move the first ship, buy a sidey, go where the other ship is, sell the sidey, and come back with your ship. It will cost you a few thousands credits (around 4000, IIRC) but I considered it renting fees.

Well that was interesting........

On my way back from a mission in my new Cobra, I saw one of these "Seeking luxuries" in the nav panel and thought why not......

Jumped in to find 2 wanted sideys battering a clean type 9......With another wanted type 9 in the background.....

Turf war or sthg me thinks..........

Anyway I do away with the sideys...But accidently hit the clean type 9...So now I'm wanted and he's firing back at me..........

So I'm now in battle with 2 type 9's...........Strip the shields off the first one and start hammering his hull and the bastard rammed me........So shields gone and down to 68% hull.......

That pissed me off....after a small get the shields back up break I take him out.......

2 security ships show up as I'm battering the 2nd type 9 and I'm thinking hold on I'm wanted now....What if they turn on me........

So I back off a bit........

They show no interest in me and attack the type 9.....I wait at a distance till it's hull is about 5% and swoop in for the final shot....Then fook off quick like......

Total repair....Re-arm and clear bounty bill was about 6K........So made about 1k outta that........

Good fun though.........

Now thinking about selling my adder for a type 6.............For more dosh to upgrade this expensive bast that is the Cobra......

Luving it..........

:D

Yep, it's experiences like those that always keep you coming back for more! :D

And Flip, I hadn't thought of buying a sidey as a "rent-a-ship" for traveling between transport locations! I'll have to keep that in mind once I grow my fleet. Thanks for the tip. :)

Well at the expense of spamming this thread.......

I have just taken a "Black ops" mission.....To Waste a certain general White.......

It might have mentioned he was in a Federal dropship.........

Anyway....I seem to have forgotten the subtleties of combat......Been trading too much......

Anyone who cares to waste 10 mins.......Here's a vid..............

Nice work on the drop ship. Cobras really are tanks though, if that was a viper it would have been toast after the shields went down.
