Just settling in for the night. Here's the runs I did today:
1. VIPs from Boa Vista to Atka
2. Pharmaceuticals from Atka to Freeport 5
3. Deuterium from Gran Canaria to Freeprt 14.
Looks pretty good. I might try one of the goodwill shipments tomorrow... could be interesting.
today I continued to work on the Black Sails contract.
[P] = Proof of pickup
[D] = Proof of delivery
Consumer Goods from Freeport 2 to Planet Crete [P], [D] [P], [D]
Total: 5000 Consumer Goods
H-Fuel from Gas Miner Naha to Tripoli Shipyard [P], [D] [P], [D] [P], [D] [P], [D]
Total: 20000 H-Fuel
Manuel was with me the last to runs. Together with his 10k H-Fuel shipments the H-Fuel to Tripoli part of the contract is finished.
Total contract value delivered: 25000
Addendum
Personal sidenote: These H-Fuel runs are very annoying.
Reasons:
- The three Suns in Sigma-17 are blocking any direct path and require manual steering to avoid a melting hull
- Omicron Theta is usually crowded by alot of people(even Hessians and Mollys!), who might get curius about our H-Fuel runs
- there is nothing to take back to Naha. Thus the flight back is for nothing
My recommendation:
Please remove the complete H-Fuel stuff from the Black Sairs contract(this would result in a drop of 140k of the whole contract amount) or request a higher payment.

New month, new tasks. Did some work on the Freeport 6 contract. Had an interesting encounter in Callifornia with a Lane Hacker patrol - certain mr. Krimmler /in a Scimitar light fighter no less/. He was particularly inquisitive about my routes and cargo, but since at the time I was loaded with pineals for Erie, I got off easy. The gentleman offered his escort services for a small fee /well, that's how he put it, he he/, and I decided not to complicate things and accepted. Used the Penny JH in Calli by the way - I strongly dislike entering New York lately.

And some more work done. Freeport 5 is secured for water. Got another interesting meeting in O41 - with a Reaver fella - callsighn * Eightshot.Reaver *, while carrying Aliens Organisms form FP9 to Canaria. This one was unhealthily curious too - where did I get the AOs /he thought Kurile/, where was I carriing them /Again he guessed wrong - Cambridge?!? - like I'l get a docking permission for my big baby there, hmm/. He even offered to escort me - like he wanteed to be sure where iwas going.
Too many curious eyes around lately - we're attracting some attention.
