So, this last week, while I was flying some supplies for our Equipment Factory at Nichols, I was checking the logs at the Shooting Starr, and when I look at the ship's clock, it was just about to hit the 250 space hours mark. That means I am due to a scheduled maintenance routine at Livadia.
Before I reached the 275 hours mark (the 10% overtime limit for the maintenance) I decided to make the classic Deuterium run to Freeport XV, and from there to Livadia for the procedure. So here we are docked at Fifteen dumping the Deuterium into the freeport's tanks.
After finishing unloading, I set course for Livadia, and contacted them while in the way there. I was assigned a dry dock, and after some maneuvering, the ship was safely moored in place for the engineers and technicians to start their magic.
Just by looking at it the chief engineer already said they would need to replace the thruster. Too much time taking all that radiation and also some blaster hits. He said they can refurbish an used Corvo cruiser thruster, that can take much more damage from weapons fire and is also much more resilient against radiation. I wonder if I should ask them to put a heavier armor plating when they start to repair the hull... Hmmm, I need to talk to that guy again.
Anyway, that's it for now, 'cause next I am going to the docking bays to take a look on how the Sabana got after it's overhaul and retrofit. Starr out.
