Recording....
Since Vertiga is unwilling to share his intel with me, safe for same occasional purchase, I decided to get myslef an exploration ship. Picking the vessel, that would serve as a base, wasn't easy, but I decided to buy a Corvo eventually. It's... rather poor when it comes to combat, but that shouldn't be a problem, since I don't really intend to fight in it. What actually convinced me, was the ability to sustain an cruiser shield and cargo bay large enough to fit the best cloak available. Together with heavy hull reinsforcement and a scanner usually used on battleships, the ship managed to drain a considerable amount of my money, but I can always do some more trading, so I don't mind that much.
But the ship is still not ready. I have to get it retroffited. It needs different engines, since the current ones aren't exactly easy to maintain. The Cloak and Scanner is giving me some problems too. I guess it has something to do with the fact they are ment to be used on Battleships, and I got them mounted on gunboat... If Corvo can even be called gunboat. So.. that needs to be fixed too, before I go with it anywhere outside the House space. And the inner layout needs to change. I won't need as much crew since I don't intend to fight and since I will probably buy some mainteance robots, if I ever decide from who to buy them. But It will definitely need a better medical bay, in case the things go sideways.
And a crew. Of course. I have some lads helping me move this ship for now, but they were never outside of House space and I don't really want to take greenies to a dangerous systems.
*short static can be heard when the recording is stopped. After a few seconds a new recording beggins*
I decided to piece these two logs together, because second trip to the uncharted system was surprisingly short and smooth .
*static again for a moment, before the recording begins. This time, the quality of voice is a bit lower and a distinct humm of engine can be heard in background*
So... yeah. I'm here again. I guess there's no point in waiting. Initiating Jump Gate Sequence. Three - Two - One - Jump! *brief moment of static* Okay. Radiation? Yeah, same as the last time, no surprises there. System looks same as before. Well, to the gates then. *Jimmy is silent for some time* Huh... could've swear it was around here. *sigh* Setting up waypoints, done. Cruise engines, charging. *another silent part* Ah, there you are. I had to remember it wrong. A'ight, Bretonia it is then. Soares I really hope you are ready to fly, in case this goes badly. Jump Hole sequence initiated. Three - Two - One - Jump! *the usual moment of static* Whoa. I kinda did expect this Gate to take me to London... but this close to the planet... Yeah, that's not good. Not good at all. *sigh* Allright, recording stopped.
