You missed out Miner.
I spend most of my time blasting asteroids into bits small enough to scoop.

I will also do a bit of taxi work if I am at a station and someone want to be taken to one of the planets or moons.

Yep... 'Belter' should be the tenth and final category.

I do a little bit of everything, but mostly trading and passenger runs. Blasting away any pirates that cross my path, of course.

For the poll, I chose 'trader' since that's my main occupation...
but with a VERY healthy dose of 'vigilante' thrown in :D (mmm... bounty)
I'm such a nice guy :oops:

If I back off much more I'll be cruising through Zaonce as your witching into Zadies!

Started out as a bulk trader, moved to hired cargo flyer and then bounty hunter.

These days, there is only one career for this pilot and his semi-sentient Caddy Omega = Assassination!
(And sometimes cleaning up the more pirate-pulsating anarchy systems.)

Hmm. Chose Trader/Hired Gun/ Bounty Hunter.

Generally spend most of my time looking for good trade routes and padding my account balance. If I can find a seedy space bar between routes, well, all the better!

Honestly I tend to dance around a bit. I trade, I fight, I even join up with the navy should they need some extra hands. Never resorted to Piracy however. I'd feel like I was attacking myself, back when I was just learning how to dock. :oops:

I do everything except piracy, until I meet a hapless Vector...

Greetz,
