There are some systems out here that are quite unforgiving. I visited a system called Piscium Sector LN-S A4-2... A system of 29 Million people. The Star? A brown dwarf

An old buddy that works the hydroponics garden on the settlement called Pollards Sanctuary, called me and they had CMM Composites they needed to get rid of. Works for me, Brewer has a huge demand for them, and the settlement gets to make some money. A win win.

It takes a different breed of person to live out here. Its below -245°C on my ships computer, and we're about 150ish LS from the brown dwarf. When you think its bad, there's a war on top of it. Rocks, vacuum and war to keep you company.

Finally decided to get the Panther Clipper and damn its big... Doesn't feel that much slower than my old Type 9 / Type 10. What is different is the cargo. I'm still feeling out the ship but so far so good. It's giving me almost 31 LY of jumping while fully fueled & 1072 tons of cargo. Of course that's after taking the Class 7 FSD to Felicity, and a FSD Booster. Slap a shield generator, a few boosters and you're right as rain. Add a 128ton fuel tank, and you can leave the fuel scoop at home.

To me though.... it looks more like a frog than a panther.

No sooner than I bought this beast, Brewer is asking help to replenish the colonization ships, and they are paying out BIG money while doing it. This looks like a perfect time to give the Panther is shakedown run. Keystone... I think it's a fitting name for a ship like this. This ship will be the backbone of trading moving forward.
