I'm proud to have turned princess sparklebitch's hood into anarchy. :-) (Seriously though, read the galnet articles where she's quoted, and tell me that isn't an adequate nickname for her.)

Today was clean up day for me. Flying all over creation claiming open bounties. I had them as high as 490,000 down to 800. I know, to go crazy over an uncollected 800 cr bounty is not only weird but totally anal lol But that's me. I'll see a speck of dirt on the kitchen floor and wash the whole floor. lol

Anyway I went to Kataning to pick up that 800 cr bounty and closest station to arrival was Naubakht Port. By force of habit I always check the bulletin board and what do I find? Ground delivery missions, 15 of them all to the same place. :shock: I rechecked each one and they were all going to a penal colony. I managed to get every one of them into my cargo bay and off I went. The payoff was about 600,000 credits and almost 10% points into Imperial Rank of Baron. :D

I've also gotten in the habit of taking the missions that say "hold this for X hours and so and so will contact you. Yea Yea Yea I think to myself.
What I do now is take the cargo which of course generates a ton of pirates so lots more bounties, then when the mission updates I go to a station with a black market and abandon the missions ( since they are always broken) and sell the cargo off :o

Had a great merit grind session in a Crime Sweep with Charlie2Alpha and Georgeo this morning. Those NPC's didn't stand a chance against two well equipped FDL's and a Vette. :evil:

I have enough merits to last about 3-4 weeks now. Thanks guys! 8-)

On my way there this morning, my route took me through Facece. I just had to stop by and see the Capitol Ship debris field.

I wish I could make a grand entrance onto the battlefield like this guy! (link to 1:00 video) 8-)

Be warned people - it was an Anaconda ramming me just before my shields came back online so doubly infuriating!!!

Oooh, ouch. Yeah, that's a lesson most people learn the hard way. Always, always always fly with insurance. Hope you get your funds back quickly!

After I bought my Imperial Clipper I had just enough to cover the insurance one time. THEN I bought the A7 shields and I had 490,000 vs the 9 million insurance. :shock: So I did what my partner knows what I always do, something rash and as he puts it "BRASS" lol I went right out to a Haz Rez and earned about 13 million in bounties.

Believe me, insurance makes me stupid. I work better when its all on the line sometimes :D

Just in case anybody is wondering, I now know exactly how much it costs to repair 50% damage to a Cutter: 87,000.00. :-)
