So - now I was kind of sorted out for a bit! Geared up for a few different missions / exploration with my Hen & Chickens, with the main goal of getting a few Traders up and running in the core sectors for passive income. and a spare space for abandoned ship mission pickups. You can have a decent M3 there for when the going gets tough, a little M5 mostly just to hold jumpjet spares etc. The handy thing about TMs is - they kind of act as a mobile base.

I then also went to pick up the Buster, my first ship, and jumped off to Terracorp HQ and a bunch of other places to pick up groceries - extra jump jets, triplex scanners, Trading Software and the like. So I picked the Chokaro up, left the freighter at the shipyard for the time being, aptly named the Chokaro “Mother Hen” and went to pick up the unshielded, unarmed Nova. 154 m/s, baby! She’ll outrun an M3 if you’re not careful…and she’s got a good booty to boot, with a decent cargo space for energy cells and the odd passenger. Luckily, my booze runs with the Yaki had helped and they were happy enough to let me get my hands on my favorite TM, the Chokaro. I do need an employee, though…right now I’ve got no passive cashflow. I think I’ll max out this ship flying it personally first before employing a trader.
The early acquisition of the super freighter has shaped my game somewhat. Not bad…the Split now consider me a Comrade rather than a Shameless Creature and while I can’t buy their best wares, at least they now let me dock at their stations in core sectors as well as border sectors, something they did not let me do yesterday. Mitigate slow in-sector speed by jumping to the nearest gate. 5900 energy cells from an XL solar plant somewhere, haul it to a sector with no solar plants and sell to the highest bidder. While lugging around at 77m/a is slow, it’s okay at 1000% SETA…so I ended up doing supply runs for the Split and the Pirates. I’d forgotten how much cargo upgrades cost…and how good commodity runs are for improving rank. I transferred the jumpdrive over and set out to get some of the necessities for a sector trader. I set out tonight to shuffle my equipment between the Mercury Super Freighter (the one I bought off that poor chap who ended up as a pirate slave) and my Buster. I paid the money, watched the pilot get out, took ownership of the ship.
Well, it’s a slow, lumbering beast…but at that price, who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth. Mercury Super Freighter with a 61% hull for 87k or so. I jumped from Teladi space back to The Hole to drop off an Argon chap at some factory or another, when I saw a freighter pilot advertising their ship for sale. I then set out to explore Boron / Teladi space in my trusted Buster (usure why I’d trust that old rust bucket…but alas, she’s my only friend at this point). There’s a reason why there’s a lot of pirate traffic there, but I’ll keep that detail shrouded in secrecy so as to not spoil anyone’s fun.Īnyway, I managed to get enough credits together for a jumpdrive and a cargo lifesupport system with 200k credits to spare. I had a bit of luck with more pirate loot, primarily at Atreus’ Clouds.

A little update (I guess I should start an X3:AP AAR thread, but given the relatively small thread, it’s probably okay here for now).
