I left a clone and the Ratakh Hubrau in New Eden. I have a feeling the Gate will call me back to her erelong. The exploration vessel will come in handy then.
As I make my way back to Mehatoor, I feel like a northerner descending from the desolate polar region to the inhabited world. Long ago, the people from the polar region of Amarr used to trade in bear skins and various other warm furs. I did not encounter polar fauna, but I trade in ship skins. It seems that there is not just the cash payoff from project discovery, but you also get some vanity items as rewards in kind, like clothing and a bunch of these "skins". And, it also seems that capsuleers pay hard cash for these items. Not all, some can't be traded for a quafe, while others -probably for more rare ships- fetch a handsome price.
With the funds, I plan to upgrade the good old Indigatrix. I will strip it bare to reuse the modules, and replace the hull by an Anathema class hull that should become even more useful as I finalize covert ops cloaking.
