Figured I'd best get the report in before I hit the hay, the sun's going down here, not that that means anything, once it goes down it stays down for 3 months... I had the pleasure of trading alongside Palamino earlier. We covered a fair few lightyears, made a fair few credits, and had a run-in with the Mollys.
Our completed runs are as follows:
- Bio-Neural Processors from Planet Cambridge, Cambridge to Planet Gran Canaria, Omega-49
- Deuterium from Planet Gran Canaria, Omega-49 to Freeport 14, Yukon
- Counterfeit Software from Freeport 14, Yukon to Freeport 5, Omega-41
- Spaceship Crew from Freeport 5, Omega-41 to Freeport 9, Omicron Theta
- Niobium from Freeport 10, Tau-37 to Planet Gran Canaria, Omega-49
Although these commodities are not all on the list of required runs, both myself and Palamino have received numerous messages from friends on the Freeports giving us a heads-up on what they need. My nephew lives on Freeport 5, he's an engineering apprentice actually, and he messaged me telling me the Corsairs were demanding software, and one Corsair had even threatened the Commodity Dealer because they couldn't get any for a month.
I hope these have helped somewhat.
Regarding the run-in with the Mollys:
We were on our final run from FP10 to Gran Canaria, flying above the sun in Dublin as we cut through from the Leeds Jumphole to the Omega-49 Jumphole. We entered into dialogue and he demanded 2 million credits per trader. After negotiating, Palamino paid 2 million, I paid 1 million. He would have been happy with 1 million each, but when he's flying a VHF, we didn't argue.
So I wish to ask, do the Mollys have rights to tax us en route? After all, we've given them food, shelter, and a getaway when they've needed it, so why should we be made to suffer by one rogue pilot on a mission to stock his coffers?
