Thirsty Basia

The deluxe really is a beut little miner... I've spent the last few days stocking up on fullerite, Its not quite as profitable as the bullion but still it beat's having to jump halfway round the galaxy to find something to mine...

I did find a quad roid the other day...it was cleared away pretty smartly but i managed to get around a 100k iso's of ore...only problem is that there is no quad refinerey in raxia, and i havent heard of one anywhere near by either, I was going to refine it and put it to good use building some housing and commercial units for Aeten, But again not if it means jumping halfway across the galaxy to do it...besides id have to make at least 4 runs to refine all the ore i have. I wish that there was a better infrustructure in Raxia.

Ive also taken a look at the roids in Basia...some nice gold roids there...two big ones that i saw... Im thinking about relocating the main OCB assaying office to basia.... on my trips to basia i was able to take quite a few tons of Aeten Water with me.... seems they lap it up in basia as there is no natural souce of drinking water large enough to supply the systems needs.

I shall have to remember this for the future, seems there might be good profits to be made delivering good old Aeten Blue.

Havent really run into anyone new lately...I did catch up with my mate Cpt Hrosskell...seems he's cleaned himself up...got off the spice and has a new circle of friends...hopefully he'll be able to stay clean.

A little Deluxe

A couple of days went past and no message, just when i was about to send Corwin a message i noticed that my ship registry page was displaying a new miniac deluxe registered to me in orbit at Vega. I guess The Avalon Assembly had completed my ship and transfered ownership to me and had just forgotten to send me a message to inform me that it was available....I that sort of thing can happen when your busy.

I had a couple of the lads bring the ship back to Aeten on a skeleton crew for her naming ceremony.... We had a big ceremony and i christened her the Jones Folly 3. I now had a fleet of 3 ships to my name... things were definatly starting to look up. The new ship was everything i expected... it has all the nice extra features ive come to expect for the Avalon Assembly...leather seats with built in heaters for when your flying far from the local sun... private pre-stocked minibar in the captains suite... Thats in addition to the extra cargo space over the Mk1 miniac, the sophisticated scanners, and the improved minig bay... all of which should help me break even on her purchase cost even faster...

The deluxe is also built to be a bit more robust than the Mk1... she has 8 cannons, a shield and heavy armour... Im not sure why theyre needed, the closest think ive everseen to a warship are the V2 corvettes used by the roid scouts... still i guess it means shell be able to deal with any scout captain that get space sickness and goes nuts.

Now that she's christend i could'nt wait to put her through her paces... so im heading out to mine some roids....dont know if i mentioned it before but big betsy is no more...in all the coming and going to casia she was completly mined away....and now all that i seem to be able to find are fullerite roids... still i hear that a few bullion roids have been discovered in neighbouring basia... might be time to go back there and find out just what i got up to when we were on our saren trip...
