Just grinding on trade in the Empire, not too far from Azrael. Trying to save up for an anaconda, and hoping for more pirates to waste while I stay out of conflict zones and the repair bills that eat into my bank account. I dropped a clipper nearly as quickly as an eagle last night, and it felt nice.

I accidentally selected "open" when starting to play. No big deal - unless you're in the Lave region you don't see as many CMDRs in open as you do in Mobius anyway. So I started pottering around in a RES and decided I should clear up my transactions tab by claiming all the outstanding bounties.There were a few near Mutujiali, a few near Diso and a few somewhere else (I forget, now).

Jumping into Leesti, I see a hollow block on the scanner. Still not too concerned - then "Bounty hunters are not welcome here, leave now" in the comms window. So I keep barreling on towards George Lucas and then it happens - interdiction. Out of habit, I zero the throttle, let the interdiction happen and work out a plan while the transition is happening. I'm in a well-specced Vulture so I might have been able to take my agressor, but I really couldn't be bothered. I start boosting out ready to re-enter SC. A few projectiles hit me but I SC out without even losing a noticeable amount from the outer shield ring. Get to the station, trash talk the idiot who interdicted me then carry on my business.

Open play is tedious.

Every day I do my 10M Cr grind on my trade route in my T9. Then I go off in my vulture for a mooch around. I will do this until I can afford an Anaconda although I am torn between an Anaconda and a T9/Tooled up Python partnership. I currently have a 100M Cr T9 and a 28M Cr Vulture and 50M Cr balance. I am leaning towards the Anaconda purely for its FSD range and the fact I can fight off NPCs trying to dict me. I am wondering about the condas as they look cool and awesome. My vulture can take down an elite npc Python but so far elite condas in RES and CZ's have given me a bloody nose.

Slowly progressing towards my home system. Currently 20k Ly away. And just when I thought I've seen 2 stars as close as they can get - I jump into this little gem of a system

Just smuggling elsewhere and trying to help out in HIP 93377 whenever I can. Once I get the funds back from the third conda (and hopefully flip HIP 93377 along to the feds), I'll be out exploring. I suppose I should delay grinding on feddie rank for now.

Thanks to Bestarion & Balderack for a fun time in the CZ's last night. I'll be back. :) Great fun. Never played wings before so I need to fathom out targeting and jumping in coordination, oh and comms. Thanks. :)

After spending a very long time Unknown Artifact hunting, either in Timocani, 109 Virginis or looking for free floaters in the Pleiades, have nipped home for a 'Canonn' event tommorrow.
Just shifted a few ships around, moved the Cobra to Azrael, a few repairs on the Asp after testing the exclusion zone of a black hole.
Just about to go for a spin in the Clipper.
Oh yes, bought a few new paint jobs in the sale.
