Pigs will fly!

Well having cashed in 14,000,000CR worth of henched up ASP as a part exchange for a Lakon Type 7 I can confirm that pigs do fly - JUST!.

It is a real pig to manoeuvre and I must say I have little fun flying it. Weirdly I have just jumped a  rank to Lieutenant (Fed) after getting it for doing a quick Intel delivery job.

Again the weird Federal permit mission (Vega this time) popped up.



Still after a few runs at risk of bankruptcy between Ra & Gliese 868 with Gold (I couldn't afford Palladium) I had enough to max out the cargo buy buying more cargo racks. As with my Lakon 6 I have ditched my shields in favour of cargo giving me the max 232 T.


This was especially scary when I didn't have enough for my Insurance excess. Now I'm trading gold still so that I do have enough for my re-buy. Just too risky especially when interdicted by pirate scum with a hold full of 2 Mega-Credits worth of Palladium. I was got by another CMDR in a python but luckily not carrying the gold or Palladium - just some cheapo Mineral extractors.



I teamed up with a couple of German speaking Commanders: - one protecting his brother in a Lakon Type 7 by flying a Cobra as wing man. I shared around 9k with them and when I returned after some R&R found 19K of Trade voucher's awaiting me - Thank you CMDR Just_Me!


If you want to play around with cargo vs shield try www.edshipyard.com . That will give you an idea of what the true cost of a ship is since unlike me you should keep the insurance excess in hand!!!
