Frontier Daze #25

 Dad,

While being out tramping for a couple months was cracker, it is good to be back in the pod for a few things. The Synditude border areas have gotten a little spicy at the moment, as have some of the new ship fits I'm getting peppered with, as I'm sure you are as well. I need to get some mid-grade Amulet implants sourced, and a new exploration Probe as well. I got carked by a Covert Serp site; right after I hacked the can, and took the loot, and immediately was scrammed, neuted, and boom. I was a little leery of the site, as it only had 4 cans when I warped to it, and not 5, but there wasn't an empty sitting either. I'm calling shenanigans.

Dyadya's helping us get supply lines detangled for our power core business in Intakistan. The problem with power cores is that three of the six P2 materials can't be made on one planet. So, we need to either have one central P1>P2 factory planet, or figure out a way to divide the six P1, and route them to partner planets to produce materials without sacrificing good extraction real estate as well. Yes, I know; Import Taxes. But, the same would apply if we centralized. We also need to balance how often we want to be hauling. Extraction loops set up for 3-day pulls to balance extraction rate with contact time needed to run the sites. It's a bloody job.

Anyway, I've also run a few light jobs for Intaki as well, just to keep those contacts active. And, since my scanning ship got carked, I can't help Dyadya scan for a good wormhole connection to get more materiel moved from Citadelphia. I may need to jump into a Prowler and bowl around the dairy for some items.

Ta,

Wai
