Day One Death

Day one of Elite Saturday the 22nd November 2014.

I failed in the race to Sol.

I was so eager was I to leave my starter area around COSI, that I ran out of fuel trying to find a hyperspace route out of the area and and let this happen.

Sob.  So I died only hours into the release cold alone and suffocating in the depths of space in this unexplored system.

But since then (posting this retrospectively on 7th March 2015 as I didn't even have this blog back then) I still have not died again and my insurance claims are still at Zero!

Of course, now I've said that it's going to be tempting fate and another CMDR's guns!

 

Sigma Bootis Pirate Scum

Ripped off by the Mierck station at Sigma Bootis.  I think its a scam.  They offer you 100K + missions to take cargo there then don't let you dock.  Its a pirate station as it has pirate logos and holograms hovering over it.

Maybe they only let their own factions or similarly dodgy f*****s dock.  Or maybe they don't have a pad for big ships (Lakon Type-6) - I did spot a destroyed wreck on one pad - maybe the mid-sized ship pad?  I don't know, but I know they had empty pads because in Private Group and Solo I tried docking multiple times and there were ships coming and going and leaving empty pads.

Well as they wouldn't let me hand in the jobs I jettisoned them at the station, earned 7500 in fines, but it was worth it :-)

Still had to pay off a 50k fine back at Aganpipe where I took on the mission.  Was tempted to leave it... as I said, what a bunch of scamming pirates.
