Subject: Update on completed activities
>>> Begin Message <<<
Good day dearest Golden Oak Tours Board.
Just wanted to give you a quick update on my activities from September 3rd.
First of all, i wanted to express my gratitude in advancing to the rank of Nobemlan. I am very honoured by this and will aim to further contribute my utmost to the good cause of Golden Oak Tours.
With this new rank, my next step would be to procure a Serenity class transport, which is no minor undertaking.
I was therefore grateful to be able to make use of the GOAT.Rent.Nobleman.B class transport to speed up the process of attaining sufficient funds.
In the same time, i am also working to see whether we can get some more interesting Inter House trade routes. Running the same route over and over again had its downsides both in terms of one's own experience, but also in terms of predicted routes for those that are less willing to adhere to the law.
The route that i took was as follows:
Start Curacao
Tea -> Planet Kyushu
Sweet Rice -> Planet Cambridge
Cambridge Cutlets -> Curacao
As mentioned, i am planning to further expand this with routes to Liberty and Rheinland space, trying to avoid the Sigma's as the Rheinland Military Guard tends to shoot at everything that comes across their path.
The Rented transport is back on Planet Curacao, with sufficient credits to full up the hold with Tea for anyone who wishes to do so.
During one of the runs, my long range scanners picked up an OSC vessel, which is a rare occasion these days. Unfortunately the route this vessel took was not close to my trade routes, so i was not able to get a nearby cargo scan done.
The vessel was tagged as OSC|DeepExplorer, see the comms print below.
It will be interesting to see of they start to increase their activities, felling that the competition is starting to cost them business, as it should ofcourse!
