I have started a commander with that ship. From Switek's Mod I take it?
My first run with it I miss-jumped somebody else's worm hole. Ran away from the fight and then came back and scooped up five Thargletts and shot the rest. Ended up with 3562 cr for one run in an adder. Got injectors and now that is my main income. miss-jump RUN come back gingerly and pick off what I can. I really enjoy the patient game now and then.

Now that's inspired! I'd have never have thought of that as a way to make decent money in an Adder!

I have now a military laser shield boosters and a few other bits of kit. I intend to completely iron ass it 8) as I am getting rather fond of the little runt. :D

Hey, sounds like fun Leafy. I've got a save for an Iron-Ass Adder somewhere but have never really used it. One day...

Excellent, leafy... that's a real commander's way of doing it.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

I've occasionally thought about trying the Adder game, but I could never see how I could make enough money quickly enough to put some decent equipment on it with such limited cargo capacity to prevent me from getting bored. Clearly you've found a good way to go about it!

Wait till you put a Q-Charger on it, hehe! :lol:
Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

Amazing how we get bonded to our ships, isn't it? At one point, I was thinking of upgrading to a Wyvern White at some point, but I'm so fond of my Red, I don't think I'll ever trade it in. :)

They're like old friends. I still fondly remember the Fatal Attraction, my old Python. And although I've been thoroughly enjoying flying a Contractor for a few months testing, and more recently the excellent Cobra S9 (testing something else), I'll always go back to my Boa Clipper the Bilbo Maru in the end.

I'm gonna have to start a new character just for cargo contracts. Can't do that in a Red...but I'm NOT letting that ship go! (Even though I'd probably make a four mil profit in switching to a Boa Class Cruiser...I just can't stand the thought of doing it.)

The way I got most of my assets was trade on board the Koneko Maru. She was a good Boa Clipper. Just think if I went back, even temporarily (Smivs, please try to convince me to go back).

Start a new save file, man. You're obviously quite attached to your Caddy. :)

Go back, Ryan. Go back to the Clipper. You know it's the right thing to do.

New savefile? :shock:
I'll never fly a Cobra. Never! Unless, of course, it one of those new S9 Cobras, I could do it. Maybe if I copied my savefile, loaded it, and bought a Clipper? Then I can go back to Komodo if I want to. Sounds like a plan! If I do switch, I'm sure I can work Komodo dieing into a short story, to explain it all. :cry:
