One Expensive Wing-Waggle!

Its happened.  I finally got blown up.  All my own stupid fault too.  Shows me right for showing off the new Clipper paintjobs and wing waggling inside the station at a fellow CMDR.  Doh.

I get the paid loitering warning. yep, ok, hands up I confess I did that, but when I backed up and returned to my own pad, it didn't like me being their either, even when I landed on it so KABOOM!


Yep, you are reading it right, that little wing-waggle cost me 2.8 million credits - plus another 1.6 million in unsold Beryllium cargo.

Why so much for a Clipper?  I've been fitting her out with A-Rated modules of course!  Finally bought the top thrusters for her yesterday and she did top out at 440m/s whilst boosting. Hope I get a bloody good bonus from the Nu Community Goal to help me get the cash back.  But to be honest its only a small dent in my funds, I've made more than that since Friday trading metal for the Community goal.

Anyway, floating pieces of lime green Imperial Clipper were seen floating around the station afterwards, the station should really organise a clean-up crew (or maybe have used a hankie!).


There she was, the last picture I took of my first Clipper who has served me so well these last few months. Sob! Ce la vie.
