Wings!

So the last couple of days I have been running Palladium and Mineral extractors between Ra & Gliese 868 with a 5M Frameshift Drive (FSD) meaning I only need 1 jump.


I have been sharing trade vouchers with a couple of German speaking brothers one of whom can afford a Python now. In addition CMDR Patricus who only had a hauler initially now has a Cobra & 2 Mil CR partly due to getting 20K vouchers each time I trade palladium.


My trading profits are around 380k for the palladium run & 88k with the reverse.


I've done so much trading I'm now a Broker trade rank and the Feds don't hate me anymore (I was "Unfriendly" but now "Neutral").


I'm up to 20M cash & 40M in assets but I'm going to pretend I don't have any assets (i.e. keep 20M aside) because when I part Ex my Type 7 I will need money for:

• Ship insurance (I think the python may end up being up to 8M after I've added some useful bits)
• Trading capital (I need at least 3M for palladium)
• A better FSD - by all accounts the Python's default one is hopeless
• Better weapons
