With in the first week on the server a player named Warum said he would pay me 2mil if I escorted him out to Omicron Theta so that he could buy the Eagle. I had never had more then 200K and a ship that reflected that. He was in a weak cheep ship as well. Neither of us had been farther then Texas. 6 hours and many deaths later and we finally arrived at the base.
Things I learned.
1) Radiation Sucks
2) NPC CD spamming sucks while you are in radiation
3) Enemy NPC's will kill you faster in radiation
4) Omicron is a dangerous place for 2 ships that don't belong there
Oh yea other fail
A day or so later i started a trader. I soon vowed that when I got enough money I would create a player that was strictly devoted to destroying all pirates (because I hated them) at no cost to traders ...... The first faction I joined you wonder .... "The Lane Hackers" .....
