Busy night tonight, mates. Just reporting my current status. So... Let's start with the basics.
I've spent all today sorting my reputation with rest of the Hackers (who didn't take too kindly until Prof. Moriarty assisted me in negotiating with them and I'm kindly blinking Hacker to the rest of the 'verse. My Dagger was fully kitted with shield, thrusters, and, of course, weapons. However, after working long and hard today I managed to acquire a promotion to Technician and am now the proud owner of a Scimitar.
It's the strangest thing, its exactly the same as my old Dagger only... Stronger armor and more firepower. A nice addition I might add. I've received my factional Armor Upgrade VIII and am glad to say that, defense wise, I'm ready for anything. Shields, thrusters, and scanners are all tip-top. I am, however, having difficulty arming it. There are no weapons available to me that are class eight. Perhaps we can get those Kraken Type I's from the Outcasts sooner than later? In anycase, I'll see if the Rogues will lend me class seven Sammaels... Or is it the Vassagos? Who knows?
