Hm... if you do not want to take a Junker shipline, why not go and take an ALG build ?
Hm, no. Both the Humpback and the Ragnar do not really excel at mining as far as I know.
But it might be worth a try to ask them. Well, I am not against the idea as such, but I do not really understand why you would use a different ship. CSF has more power capacity than the Voyager and is superior to the rheinlander freighters even if they can match him in power output and cargo capacity.
If you really want to build up a long range research vessle I advise you to think big.
Either outfit a research ship like the Corvo or get a contract out with Congress and design one. Might be worth a try.
Still all in brainstorming state up to now, but I would like to have some feedback about time and possibillity, pls. Sturm and me are planning to organize a Leeds run at least once per month. Send an answer here or in the skype chat, as you please. Till then, lets try : Sunday at about 16:00 SMT ?

Thumbs up or down, anybody ? ;-)
Getting ready for a Leeds run : anybody joining in ?
We have a customer who sent us a handsome bonus for construction of 2 docking modules, now completed. Delivery is to be to Omikron Theta ....
Sturm has volunteered to take the T&T/Pilgrims.Home up there, mounting the docking modules and taking some trade stuff and supplies for our Zoner friends out there, too. And McKannon has agreed to either send his Gunboat as escort or to send Fitzpatrick in a fighter.
Currently we are organising a RP convoy to complete our contract and do the delivery,
and would like to set the time for the convoy to 14. march or 15. march ( next sat. or sun. )
I am looking for a timescale. As Sturm will fly the Pilgrim timezone is important :
currently we aim at about 16:00 or 17:00 SMT ( server main time ) and hope to be finished till about 18:00 - 19:00 SMT.
Feedback pls, who would like to spend 30 min or an hour time on some RP and some Pics in Kepler...
we dont want to let Sunny and the AFC wait much longer I hope
Greets
Rob
pS.: Feedback here is possible for other Interested too, dont be shy
Next T&T/ trade fleet convoy sheduled : Today the 14th of march AS 822 , about 17:00 SMT
We have a preorder of 2 docking modules to deliver to Omikron Theta, and will fly a convoy with stuff and the mounted modules up there. Return will be over Leeds, to pick up some refugees.
Hey Tinkers, warm up the engines. We fly again, today !
The convoy on 14th march was successfull, even if we did not manage to evacuate as many refugees as we had originally planned due to the encounter with a highly dangerous gallic Junker pilot. She sure knows how to fly, even if she will not be our friend because of it.
Vincent.Morrow prooved an apt scout, bringing us safely to Omikron Theta where our Zoner Customer was happy to recieve his 2 preordered docking modules. After the delivery of some food and other supplies to Freeport 9 we returned to Cambridge, picking up MedStasis bands for the resistance camps at Leeds. And picking up the trusted and always polite BPA) officer Waldorf as an escort to Leeds.
There was a slight communication error here, as due to a misinterpreted com the [MFE]ships meeting us where a transport and a corvo, and not the freighter class vessle I had expected, leaving us with very little capacity to shuttle supplies and civilians from the resistance landing pads. But our long missed friend Tudor arrived with his T&T/Happy.Idiot in time to help.
Still, we where not jet finished and had only loaded about 1/3rd of our max capacity as a unfamous gallic bomber pilot arrived to bust our party. In a flash of bad luck our Escort Mr. Morrow was struck by a SNARC and disabled, leaving our escorting Gunboat T&T/Steady.Hands and the BPA) officer alone against the attacker.
Vincent´s pod was secured and we will refit him a ship to his specifications,
looking forward to him taking escort contracts from us again.
I am attaching some guncam pics here forr all to browse freely and will gladly add any pics from the shootout at Leeds if anybody sends them to me.
Also I would like to strike a nice deal with the folks from Orbital Spa & Cruise, and we where asked to get at least 5000 - 8000 refugees together at the Haven for a big PR promotion event from OSC| side.
If I add the possibility to just gather for a convoy to Council space ( I still have some captives to deliver ) we have a lot to do.
Just pass along suggestions or tell me if you would like to gather for a faction event this week, will you ?
I am around, as I have to reduce some overtime hours currently. Im at work wednesday and thursday, but have the rest of the week free time.
Fynn here : Bailey just passed me a very interesting conversation with an Order Pilot,
and we have decided to add O'Rhu| transponder to the Havens docking acces.
So no remains near the base, ok ?
Well, the one time we accepted those remains from that Freelancer is long ago,
and the single power cell we stocked is safely burried away.
The Haven is clear to any Inspection. This is not jet a diplomatic contact, just a sign of neutrality so far and the O'Rhu pilot made a good impression.
Still : keep watchful, Tinkers

[17.04.2015 08:25:42] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: Well met, Order pilot
[17.04.2015 08:39:27] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: Cpt. Bailey: Well met and save flight to you.
[17.04.2015 08:41:14] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: May I have a moment of your time.
[17.04.2015 08:41:28] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: Bailey : Sure, what is up, Order pilot ?
[17.04.2015 08:42:00] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: Come, travel to the Haven with me, its not far
[17.04.2015 08:42:01] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: Right to the point then.
[17.04.2015 08:42:14] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: Following you.
[17.04.2015 08:42:17] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: jep, go on
[17.04.2015 08:42:48] /fi o'rhu
[17.04.2015 08:43:15] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: Bailey here, skipper of the Pride. How can I help ?
[17.04.2015 08:43:41] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: You're aware of the recent events in Omega-3. Correct?
[17.04.2015 08:43:53] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: Actually : No. What is happening ?
[17.04.2015 08:44:48] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: An alien species known as "Nomads" were able to construct a lair of sorts.
[17.04.2015 08:44:58] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: Right under everybody's nose.
[17.04.2015 08:45:07] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: The Nomads start building stuff ? Oha, really ?
[17.04.2015 08:45:51] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: I had known that these Robots out there are getting more active, and I noticed more Jellies that usual here in centre areas.
[17.04.2015 08:46:01] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: But no idea its that bad
[17.04.2015 08:46:07] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: Since the base was destroyed there were certain remains that were left to be salvaged.
[17.04.2015 08:46:49] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: Hm... so ? I know these remains are used for research by some installations, but we dont build high tech
[17.04.2015 08:47:01] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: We only build docking modules
[17.04.2015 08:47:10] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: refit them from scrap actually
[17.04.2015 08:47:28] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: thats why they are so cheap with us
[17.04.2015 08:48:02] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: These remains have been taken by civilians and house governments alike. Would you happen to know anything about this?
[17.04.2015 08:48:21] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: I would suspect rumors flying around your bar.
[17.04.2015 08:48:42] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: Alcohol and knowledge is a deadly mix.
[17.04.2015 08:48:42] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: I noticed that more ships have been carrying cloaks in the last months. You notice if they dock or undock
[17.04.2015 08:49:17] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: At the Haven so far , no rumours have been rising about it, no
[17.04.2015 08:49:55] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: Have you seen any raw materials during your travels aboard any vessels?
[17.04.2015 08:50:26] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: Hm, raw materials... not sure. I have seen some strange scans with very peculiar fighter ships
[17.04.2015 08:50:37] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: Transponder identifies them as D9 or so...
[17.04.2015 08:50:54] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: never seen those weapons before, and my scann could not really penetrate them
[17.04.2015 08:51:10] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: Interesting.
[17.04.2015 08:51:29] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: but I noticed no alien artefacts or strange half- organic readings
[17.04.2015 08:51:38] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: But Im no expert. Hm....
[17.04.2015 08:52:22] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: We dont carry any Artefacts as trade ware, I suppose you know why. As evil as the Cardamine, these things.
[17.04.2015 08:52:44] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: IF you come into contact with any transport vessels containing remains or a significant amount of cloaking devices, there is a
[17.04.2015 08:52:51] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: But that might also be the reason that some shady folk do not contact us, so I fear I can not help you
[17.04.2015 08:52:59] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: hefty reward for details on them.
[17.04.2015 08:53:21] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: Noted.
[17.04.2015 08:53:23] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: Ah, rewards. You have to live to be able to cash them in, but I will pass it on to the other Tinkers
[17.04.2015 08:53:47] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: It is much appreciated. As this is for the safety of all of mankind.
[17.04.2015 08:54:12] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: We do not need another government infested by Nomad incubi.
[17.04.2015 08:54:27] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: Hm... we are a pragmatic lot, trying to survive. But Id rather swap the Aliens against the Gauls and keep the gauls, officer
[17.04.2015 08:55:13] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: But if things get really think : we can offer you emergency supplies and MedEvac services, even out in the Omikrons or Omegas
[17.04.2015 08:55:55] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: Humanitarian Aid is one of our goals, and that means we know our buisness. We are used to operating under fire
[17.04.2015 08:56:04] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: What supplies would be offered?
[17.04.2015 08:56:17] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: And a refitted CSF makes a very good front line Ambulance
[17.04.2015 08:56:36] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: Supplies : Food, Oxygen, Water, Pharmaceuticals, MedStasis bands
[17.04.2015 08:56:56] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: no weapons or ammunition, but even fuel or construction materials
[17.04.2015 08:57:35] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: we even bring Nanocapacitors or spare parts for shielding or engines
[17.04.2015 08:58:02] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: As an excemple : we run the gallic blokade to supply Council forces in Champagne
[17.04.2015 08:58:31] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: And we have a big refugee rehabilitation and civilian training programm
[17.04.2015 08:58:46] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: Understood. Your services may be of use to us.
[17.04.2015 08:58:58] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: if some civilian site is razed by nomads you can call us in to care for the survivors, no fee taken
[17.04.2015 08:59:18] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: We have a trust funding us for such work
[17.04.2015 08:59:48] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: *laughs* also : scrap trade makes us rich enough, we can afford some good works
[17.04.2015 09:00:28] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: Oh... if you find rare weaponry not of Nomad origin : we would buy it
[17.04.2015 09:00:46] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: I can get you cleared at the Havens dock to take a look around if you want ?
[17.04.2015 09:00:59] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: You shall be contacted through the neural network for more details. I must leave now.
[17.04.2015 09:01:04] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: ok, copy that
[17.04.2015 09:01:04] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: That would be ideal.
[17.04.2015 09:01:22] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: well, I will just add O'Rhu transponder. It is protected, no ?
[17.04.2015 09:01:29] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: Farewell. Expect to be hearing from us soon.
[17.04.2015 09:01:39] O'Rhu|WF-Stryder: It is.
[17.04.2015 09:01:39] T&T/.Tinkers.Pride: ok, cya
