Cool. Thanks for the heads up.
Been doing a lot of gold trading in the past 24 hours as I have been able to find it cheap and sell it high.
Wonder if there is some kind of relationship?

Oh, a new CG already?

I took the Asp out the the Pleiades area to explore a bit. Looks like I shall return sooner than I thought!

heading there now... that golds going to bring out the pirates ...


Dont think of it as being vastly outnumbered ... but just having a large target selection.

The only thing more accurate than incoming fire, is incoming friendly fire

Gold? It says computer components.

Why did also think it was gold? The thread title?

I'm sure it was gold before. They seem to think so on Reddit too. Computer components now!

Yea, I read the GalNet page, and I think it said Gold?

Well either way, I'll carry what they want!

I headed out with my Clipper, but again wasn't getting along with the handling.

So something new...

So far I'm liking it!

Nothing wrong with pirates. Bounty hunters are the filthiest scum in the Galaxy.

Well, for some reason on this CG, my usual 200 ton haulers aren't getting me the same results. I had to bite the bullet and up the capacity with a 400 ton Anaconda.

The "Large" pad size ships are not my thing, for the most part. But since I do enjoy the hauling CG's so much, I suppose it's worth the investment to remain competitive, especially when facing the upcoming Cutter, which is looking like the new cargo hauling king.

Was kinda sad, in a way, to sink so much cash into one ship, especially a large one that will sit in a dark hanger much of the time.

But I do get a lot of fun out of running cargo in CGs, even if I never do trade otherwise. And this cargo capacity will help get the most of that play time. Already it's doubled my tonnage contribution to the current CG, and put me where I wanted to be, in the 5% tier.

I be at 70 percent but as long as me taxpayers be happy and protected, 'tis good enough fer me. Killed some filthy murderers tonight I did. They be killin' the traders and I can't 'ave that--them cuttin' off me tax revenue.

Lotsa money for a big ship and all the expensive modules but the main reason I play around with ships and modules so much, besides it being a blast and always trying different careers, is that you always get your money back.
Of course at my level of the game along with the amount of time I am able to invest (aka money made) I have had a Sidewinder, Viper, Cobra, Type 6, and a Vulture. All cheap and small ships but having loads of fun so far.
I look at a ship loaded down with modules as kind of a piggy bank. I think someone said you lose 10% on ship value on resale buts that's fair enough. At the "cheap" ship level I don't notice and who pays full price for a used car anyway?

Glad you posted again as it reminded me.
What exactly is your play style Mr. B?
I remember you said Open and mainly a PvP'er but what are your usual targets?

Why... I be a tax collector--by order of the Galactic Government, all trade shall not pass without proper taxes paid in full to feed the starvin' children. 'Tis a thankless profession but I be doin' the Galaxy a lot of good makin' sure the rich pay their due in shiny coin.
