What are you doing (ingame) now?

[Brightside]

So I've been running trading routes for the past few days and got myself 5m to spend on fully outfitting my Cobra, now I need about to 4m more to get it to exactly what I want (combat explorer type ship) but I've no idea where to find two components so that's me. I'm hunting around the galaxy taking high-paying missions and looking for A4 Shields and Thrusters.

Day 12 - Cleve Hub Eravate system
A couple of missions and gold/tantalum trading with the Hauler.

Bounty Hunting with the Eagle. Replaced 2 beam lasers + 1 fixed multicannon by 1 beam laser on top and 2 fixed multicannons under. Works better and heats less. Stole a 50 K Anaconda from 4 Fed Vipers that were after him, after they got it down to 25%.

Decided I would stick to this corner of the woods until I can sell both and buy a Cobra.

Saw one Cmdr on radar while on SC inside Eravate system, but going opposite routes...

Just arrived at Balaikda, there is word that there may be a fight brewing there. So far I haven't seen anything yet. One outpost (Spurzem Vision) has a black market, ideal for hauling missions. Unfortunately the systems around here are uncharted and totally unknown to me, a bit of exploration is required to get an idea for what commodities are available within a decent jump range. I've been updating Inara bit by bit. Hopefully I'll be able to gain enough Fed ranks to open up the the Dropship like I did in Sifjar for the Clipper.

Returned to Eravate from Yembo as the new supply/demand trading patch meant my 1.2m cr/h route dried up, literally, station I was buying Palladium from went from a constant supply of over a 1000 units to 4 units on my last trip there (was good while it lasted and my T6 is now quite well spec'd). Spent a few hundred K on re-configuring my Cobra for bounty hunting/combat missions. Going to do a bit of bounty hunting and federal progression for a change from the grind while I scout out some new routes, might use my Sol system permit for a bit of sight seeing. The Asp will have to wait a while...

I did the same Kiltrathi, but I did not seen anything exciting in Balaikda. So I have just moved on to Sifjar to give Jockgit a hand. Performed my few missions for the Empire, and attempted to collect a few bounties while moving systems and got my rear handed to me by a Python

Day 13 - Cleve Hub in Eravate System - Encounters !

Had little time today so skipped the hauling and went bounty hunting with the Eagle at the Nav Beacon. Had the good surprise to meet 2 Cmdrs there. Cmdr Ewizard in a Cobra and Cmdr A.Wesker in a Viper.





Exchanged a few words with Cmdr Ewizard, no reply from the Viper.
Later as I went to Ackermann Market to cash my 95 K bounties of the evening (with a good help from the local Sheriff with his Anaconda and a couple of assistants in Vipers ) I met Cmdr Vogelap outside and inside the station. No reply either, seems people were not in to talk tonight !
For the first time I was interdicted by a stupid NPC in a Sidewinder who shot at me right away ( his death got me 1500 Cr more...) and I had an NPC ship on my assigned landing pad, so had to get out and ask for a new clearance.

As I got back to Cleve Hub, there was a Cmdr outside, didn't have time to scan him, he had already vanished in SC...

Anyway friend requests sent to all identified ! All in all a great evening...

It turned out that Balaikda isn't too far away (albeit for an Asp) from the place where I parked my T7, so after doing some missions for the locals at Spurzem Vision, I flew back 'home' and did some trade runs to see if trade had indeed been changed in such a way that it was no longer profitable. Well, it is still profitable, even when supply/demand are finally working, you can still make a healthy profit. In about 90 minutes of trading, I made close to 2.5 million credits in a T7 equipped for long-range trading.

Haven't met any other Mobius commanders since leaving Sifjar two days ago where I frequently saw Jockgit in a Cobra.

Currently running rares in my combat/trader asp. Other than that bounty hunting and gaining empire rep (currently Serf), rare route is quiet, no other CMDRS sighted, a few interdictions (NPC of course) which soon turn into BH profit as after I scan and eat through their hull with my multicannon/beamlaser combo the credits jump into my ship. Safe sailing. SD

PS: DADAL is an interesting system, interdicted 3 times there by NPC pirates (biggest a Python 60k bounty), by far the most active interdiction system I have encountered as I passed through. Stations are about 1000Ls which is a bit of a pain to turn in bounties but might be worth it for BH bounties.

Tried a bit of trading, but travelling in hyperspace took ages today, so instead I played something else... The Last Federation

Day 14 - Cleve Hub in Eravate system - Business as usual.

A bit of hauling mainly inside the system between industrial and agriculture stations, with a couple of missions from the board.
Nearly two hours of bounty hunting with the Eagle stealing the bounties from Authority Vessels. Missed a few who managed to jump away at last minute. I now have the credits for a basic Cobra, need to earn some more to afford some equipment.

Only a couple of brief contacts from other Cmdrs on the radar while in SC.

Met my first Imperial Clipper. The guy was wanted for over 25 K but I was alone at that time, so I only made a picture !
