OK so Aisling Duval runs a majorly boring operation. Doesn't look like there are any combat options at all. Schlepping propaganda is her thing.
I am at 7086 merits with 3 nights to go.
Not going to lie, I have spent about 30 mil credits rushing the supplies so far, but I have earned about 17 mil shipping Palladium on the return legs.
If all goes to plan I have another 5 trips to go, during which I will make another 7.5 mill. Sadly I estimate I will have to spend another 15 mill rushing.
Still long term it will be OK. Twice an many free merits next week and only 5000 to ship. Won't have to rush any and 12 mill in trading profit.
I have now dispatched 7 Adjusters. 6 Cobra Mk 3s and a DBS. I also took a Python down to 40% hull but got down to one ring on my shield so ran for it.
