More of the same old for a freighter pilot lately, long hours of boredom punctuated by occasional moments of sheer terror. I'm using an old Liberty rhino for now, and the relatively thin hull combined with limited sheild capacity has made extreme caution the order of the day. I've lost count of how many times I've been lane-hacked in New London lately. I guess the Crims are having a jolly time while the Navy is occupied with these damn Gallian incursions.
I'm making slow headway, however. Living like a Monk and sleeping in either the ship, or the shop whenever I'm near Leeds. I'm only asking Shelton to kick 10% of his take after expenses back to the shop. That way, he makes a decent enough share to keep him interested. His kick-in plus my side work are nearly paying for the expenses of our decidedly low overhead operation. This means that the work I run with the Rhino is about 75 to 80% profit. This is definately being squirrelled away for a ship upgrade ASAP.
When get enough scraped together for a ship with 400-500 units behind 'er, I should really be able to get this money train rolling!
