>I’ve finally worked out how to make the gold mining business profitable.
>I've begun my actionable support for the RPA / Mollies. Being a Scott myself, Dublin’s struggle is near enough to my own. It’s a worthy enough pursuit.
>Until I’m able to set up my own contacts within the RPA I can bring gold ore to New London for refinement and then transport the end product to Honshu or Frankfurt for a tidy profit. As much as I detest giving New London the gold it wants, they’ll get it either way and at least my way means resources for free Dublin.
>I ran the gold from New London to Honshu. Quite a trek. I was finally able to find and secure an IMG ID and improve my relations with the Mollies. I found a contact who granted me access to an RPA refinery in the Dublin system.

>I secured a 960k Loan from Snippet to buy the Retrofit Explorer. Shooting for 1 mil to pay him back.
>On my way to sell h-fuel I died to mines in a nebula could in Thuringia. Restarting in sigma-13 with nothing. Using Freelancer companion to navigate to Dublin for some familiar gold mining / running.
>Found the mining cloud after some time.
>Ran gold ore to a French system. Hell of a route, dangerous too with the mines around the restricted jump gate. Bad intel in the Freelancer Companion. Their buy price for gold ore is abysmal.
>Heading back to Dublin to regroup and figure out how this new economy works. Something about refining?...
