Well I signed up and waiting on confirmation. I've made my way to the starting point:

Pallaeni Feb 6, 2019, 6:48:54 PM Ship: nebuchadnezzar III (Anaconda)

First star point Shapley 1 (Shapley 1 (The Fine Ring Nebula)) Feb 6, 2019, 7:23:28 PM

Ship: nebuchadnezzar III (Anaconda) Distance to Sol: 999.98 ly Distance to Colonia: 21,468.46 ly

I'mm on my way to catch up with the rest of the pilots out there.

Well my Anaconda Version 1 is done, all kitted out, engineered all bar life support, ARM's and Fuel scoop.

Need to put some 5000lys down from start to get access to professor palin.

That's my next target, then unlock bill turner and Tiana Fortune.

Going to plot a root to a system in the EAFOTS next.

Almost completely engineered my krait fighter, couple of things left to do. Material collection is one hell of a grined, been at it for so so long.

Almost got all the materials for my Explorer ship, looking forward to getting it all ready to go out there. Will probably have to go back to Dav's Hope to collect one last lot of materials before I head out though, just to make sure I can repair anything if at all possible.

Looking forward to the next few Days.

Spent the last few weeks gearing up my new Krait II ship with all the engineered kit I could find to make it one hell of a fighter. Low power consumpsion but it packs some armour and weapons.

Engineered most things to get the best options out there for this vessel. Starting to work on my combat rank, role on 3305 and see how it goes.

Thanks for listening....

Well after much checking and examination, I've decided to buy the Krait. I've fitted it out with everything from my Python and I'm now working on the engineers side to modify the modules for better performance and better resistance.

So I've returned to Dav's Hope for a start and get those much needed materials maxed out again.

Will take a few days to sort out though, lots to replentish.

Updates to follow...

Well after pain stakingly working on Exploration and Trade Elite status now it's time for Combat. Spent the last couple of weeks working on engineers, getting materials and working out the best options for my Python. The material traders came in useful trying to sort out those hard to find materials swapping out those I had plenty of and didn't need. I have about another 8-18 items to collect to max out a couple of grade 5 modules and then I hit those wanted spacers.

Watch this space. I'll be back.

Well it's been another couple of weeks and I've put together another 30 mil in the bank. Transporting VIP's and tourists around from system to system back and forth. Ranking up nicely from time to time @ 36% now of typhoon, so still a long way to go.

Well been out collecting 111 scans, and what did it get me 111 millions credits and no trade rank progress. What a waste of effort.

Well having spent the last month working my way to Trade Elite, I've come to the conclusion that based on my own activity, it's going to take me 5 months to get there from Tycoon at 24%. After that its all combat until Elite, can't wait. I'll have 1.2 Billion credits by then, and a dam good ship to take out those wanted individuals. 1440 hours of play, Exploration Elite already in the bag.
