So I headed to Wong Guin and picked up a Vulture. Wow. This thing is a wrecking ball. As a happy co-incidence there was a minor war going on so I headed for that and had an absolute blast. 2 C3 fixed beam lasers and basically I can kill everything in game. Suddenly Pythons, clippers are falling to my guns. Brilliant fun.

I'm trading in a T6, saving up to have a combat ship on the side.
Seeing how I'm on a budget.. this is my thought right now.. I'm very open for suggestions here. :)

Bounty hunting in and around Eravate, rocking a Vulture. I sold my Asp and Viper for this thing and I don't regret it.

Correcting the autodock twice. Once docking at a civil outpost remaining at 1.05km slightly above the docking station. Had to dock manually.
And the second time fliying into a corellus station it started playing pinball in the letterbox. Good thing I took over, and could resolve it without blowing up the ship.

I know about the issue above outposts, as it happens from time to time, and is no big problem, but the corellus incident is frightening as it could get my ship blown up.

Yep happened to me a couple of times now.....

Fly through the toaster just into the station and my craft flips 180 and hits the entrance...Luckily enough both times it has resolved itself and flown back out.....

Maybe that's why the docking comp now puts 4 pips in shields....

Heh I was wondering about that. 4 pips in shields, who knew, it could be good for something. Well back to my trading Type 6 after finding four planetary systems without a former explorer claiming them yet (12-20 objects in each). No earthlike planets, but who knows maybe soon :).

Flying around Zhao and Osissi Hua and doing very well. High Tech is very rarely seen in this part of the populated systems, but who cares as long as the profit is high. And there are more Ocellus starports around than I would have thought possible. Even one with only refinery and extraction. Huge thing for just such an economy...


Edit: well high for me is doing 1k per sold item :) Ive never seen the 2k or even more profits some traders manage. Unless it is the rare goods run.

Found a nice little trade route between Gliese 868 and Wolf 906, making a little over 2.2k/Ton each round trip, and there is a RES right by the Wolf station for a bit of light killing to break up the trading.

The most I have ever seen per sell is 1.5k, I've found 1.2k is more the norm for a good profit, and then it's rare to get that both ways.

Well in a moment of alcohol induced madness.....

Stored the cobra and bought a sidey as a taxi to scope out where an Asp could be had.......

Found one and like a bloody idiot bought it......

Leaving me...After a few upgrades.....Rather short.......

Being the careful chappy I am.....Left it parked.....

Upgraded the sidey....and going back to where I have my T6......To grind a bit more......

Might just have a laugh with the sidey along the way......Or end up crying......Who can tell......

Luv ED.......Love cider........
