I received a folder with advertisements for ships.
This happens regularly, I am sure every pilot has their mailbox flooded with these. Usually I just throw these away.
But this one caught my eye - and expedition command ship? It is a new model, for sure, I have never seen anything like it. And I have to say, I was immediately charmed! This is the first time I have seen a battlecruiser-class hull geared for long-term scientific expeditions that involve camping out in space. And it has a way to boost the decoding powers and data hacking capacity of fleet members. Even d-scan range can be boosted. Ah, and the spatious hangars it has for collecting all sorts of archaeological finds!
However, it is scandalously expensive. I must not give in to temptation and remember my vow of poverty, by which I also pledge to only keep ships that will aid me in my quest, in stead of collecting endless fleets of ships like most fellow pilots.
Still, it is tempting.
I guess I will start by studying the skillbooks on the techniques that need to be mastered for these boosts, and we will see from there.
