Well I decided to be rid of the save in hopes of one that may bear sweeter fruit. I opted to go with the Poisoned Paranid start. If you haven't played this start before, there is an initial mission to obtain 25,000,000 Credits in 3 hours in the hopes of regaining you belongings as a holy one. Refusing to sell certain obtainable ships (because it is almost impossible to find other copies of several of them), I decided that capping, war missions, and mining was the way to go. Two in game days later, (8 hours IRL) I had finally acquired to necessary money to cure myself of the wretched disease that had afflicted me. Returning as close as was still possible to the Holy Paranid Theocracy, I retrieved my blessed Hyperion Vanguard and my delightful Advanced Perseus. Adding my Mamba to that group; I now owned a paltry three ships and two measly stations.(an ore mine in Ianamuras*, and a Mobile drill factory in Seizewell.) I now sought out to work my way into several of the quest lines with the goal of allying myself with the Profit Guild as well as the Terrans (In case things take a turn for the worse.) Several hours later, I now possess 4 Rapiers, 2 Kestrels, 2 Baldrics, 2 Advanced Perseus, 1 Advanced Pericles, 1 Mamba, and my lovely Hyperion Vanguard.

The Baldrics are the beginning of my vast trading empire, I intend to create a small fleet of about 15 Universe traders to start my initial income. From there I will purchase a TL and begin building Complexes in Savage Spur I think. In the meantime, I shall work my way through the main quests and start the dreaded Hub Plot quest :O. Here's to a successful beginning!

Live Long and Prosper
