<doffs his sombrero> Do you have [EliteWiki] Offender Traders installed, Solo? If so, how do you treat them? They're my brothers-in-arms, after all.

Commander Solo lives by a code that only those who attack him are deserving of his retribution. So you're brothers-in-arms are safe with me. In fact, I have been their wingman many times.

Sweet! I love running interference for an offender Boa and four, say - it can lead to some great action.

Aye, but not if GalCop decides to pick on them. How do you respond in such a scenario?

If I'm running escort, I try and lead any Vipers away from my convoy - I'm usually their preferred target!

I decided to have a look at some other player ships (still think the Boa CC is awesome) and have eventually settled on a Boa Clipper. I don't miss those 25 T of space but really appreciate the extra turn of speed. Scooping cargo is *substantially* harder in the Clipper though.

I did take a Caduceus out for a spin but it was *too* awesome.
Now flying a Boa Class Cruiser
