Journal entry 1- Days as a Liberty Police Officer.


My first Journal entry, it feels weird but I have been told it gets better. I remember the day I joined the force it was a awesome day being a rook and all. I can not believe the amount of money you can make when interacting with other ships! I thought I was going to be poor and was considering being a Molly (I hear they make good money)

I can not believe how you can make money to! I was taxing people left and right for having "Special cargo holds" Like barge's, or people 5k cargo holds, or any type of drug, or things like Diamonds, Silver, Uranium, or even using liberty trade lanes. I wouldn't charge much for trade lane usage just 100k. Ore though i'd charge 1M for cargo loads under 3600 and above 3600 I would charge 5M! I just can't believe how much money you make off of that. Uranium I would charge 2.5M for -3600 and 5.5 6.5M for +3600. Barge's I never got to tax sadly ;( but I still made alot of money. O and the bribes they made me some money too! Some random Outcast bribed me 10M just to not take the cargo of his buds 5K load of Lane Hackers I almost said no but who could resist 10M credits?!?


My first fight.

Ok I admit it was not a fight but it was close! A random RH battleship decided to jump into the system! I though it was game over but no I actually only got to chase around the system looking for him. Ok...fine I didn't chase someone else did. I continued the safety of Manhattan and decided to stay back and tax people .

That concluded my thoughts on day 1 of the LPI.
