Day 1
I am almost ashamed to say it took three hours before I accepted any missions what-so-ever. With all the controls that needed to be programmed into my lovely rust bucket I almost felt a little overwhelmed.
After my inital testing and recalculating, the ship was ready to fly......here comes a solar cleaning.
Most will see this job as tedious but I saw it as a great oppertunity to practice my manuverabilty and if the Solar Panel had guns....I'd be dead.
Of crouse the only logical next step to any pilots career is some customization. Got this ship lookin like a beauty. More cargo than I know what to do with and a look that is just what I wanted.
Did mission after mission from the station there in space. Met some bad ass NPC's that where not in space before. Bought some information and made casual chatter while farming some asteriods. Deliverd some supplies to ships also. Then I decided to use some of the information I purchased and plotted my course to a stash. I put my ship on auto pilot and went down to the galley and made a sandwich.....came up to a "lost in space" situation. Good thing my fulcrum drive is only a little ol' 1. I realized that this cash was a little out of my current abilities and set my course for Star Port 10. Making a sandwich takes no time at all....but watching your ship make, what seems like, a 100 jumps to get back to where you were......takes a year.
At this point I am feeling comfortable in my ship and decided to take a planet side mission. Entered the atmosphere just fine. Farmed the oxygen and bunch of other stuff just fine. Went to leave and had my multiplyer on 5, hit the wrong button and instant BOOM. Death 1 noted on day 1. "You cannot fly off a planet at warp speed, Captain!"
