What are you doing (ingame) now?

[bladerunner900]

Trading, missions for the Feds or their Allies and bounty hunting pirates in my Python. I could get a Conda, but I like the Python and besides, I have some nice paint schemes for it.

When Power Play comes I'll probably ally myself with the Feds and go Medieval on the Empires ass. "Make it so"

Made it to the centre of the galaxy, there was no tea shop, so I'm turning around and coming home. Expect me back in 5 weeks or so.

Just about to take my new 'Conda out for a test spin in a RES now I have found an 8A Power Distributor and 8B Power Plant - couldn't afford the 8A Power Plant yet - it only costs 163M lol

Well after an hour or so of test combat in a RES - I'm quite pleasantly surprised, the 'Conda is a lot more agile than I expected - ok it's no Vulture - but it's no T9 either lol. It's a lot slower than my Python - but that's to expected given it's size, but I never boosted around the place in my Python anyway - slow and steady - glide into combat is how I did things. Same applies with the 'Conda - only difference is - once I open up with all my weapons - anything smaller than a Cobra becomes space dust before they can even say "Noooo Help!!!!" - I'm not using turrets as the local Pirate faction hates my guts - so they are all hostile to me and turrets would just get me fined

At one point I had 3 wings of fighters attacking me (Because I'm hostile to the local pirates this happens quite often and only adds to the fun) - just took them down one by one - shields never even went down to 2 rings (7D shield with 7 OA boosters - 1,176.00 MJ of Shield) in my python I would have been down to hull and boosting for safety. Took on a couple of Dropships' - they were toast before they could even turn round and fly past me.

Definitely an upgrade from the Python in combat - now just need to save up another 100M, so I can afford to A spec the power plant and thrusters. Will try it out in a CZ tomorrow.

Back from my 3000ly sightseeing trip. 1.5M cr richer, and 33 new discoveries to my name

Off now to find something to kill

Joined the CG on the side of the Empire. Stapleton Dock is a long cruise from the arrival point and I think that's putting people off.

System: Quivira
Station: Stapledon Dock
Objective: Submit combat bonds to the Quivira Electronics PLC at Stapledon Dock

I did one 500k combat bond run and I'm in the top 5%. No rewards yet and only a couple of hundred commanders signed up. This one has the chance of no pay out unless more commanders come to play.

N.B. There's a couple of Low intensity CZ's close to Stapleton Dock.

Submit combat bonds to the Quivira Electronics PLC at Stapledon Dock

thanks for the heads-up, i would have missed this CG if you hadn't mentioned it

took the Asp down to Tsin Binba (near Quivira) and there i bought Vulcher The Mulcher Mk2 for the Quivira CG. i couldn't find all the parts i needed for it, so i'm using a different build, i hope it holds up ok...

I'm just about to take Arnie the 'Conda over to the CZ
