View source for User blog:Nikolai Albinus/Commander's Log, Star-Date... today...

Having played for a fortnight, I suppose it's time I looked at some of the tools. I had a basic spreadsheet where I stored data for commodities when I started, but I stopped using it about the time I encountered rare commodities (much more predictable and much more profitable when you only have a small ship) and never went back.

Recently, I have been bounty-hunting in [[User:Nikolai_Albinus/Talon|my Eagle Mk. II]] and that's about as profitable as rare trading in [[User:Nikolai_Albinus/Silent Fury|my Cobra Mk. III]], but a lot more fun. Maybe I will upgrade to a better trader and do some hauling later, but I am still having so much fun killing bigger ships in my tiny fighter. I am travelling, grinding [[Empire|Imperial]] faction and generally seeing what the bulletin boards around Tangaroa/Sovica have to offer.

These past couple of days, I've been using [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=74171 Cmdr's Log] to track my wanderings. It's nice to note down my thoughts and it might be nice to look back on. I track the prices again too, using [http://sourceforge.net/projects/eliteocr/ EliterOCR], just in case I go back to trading, but I think I'll grind more Imperial faction first and get a more elegant trader than the flying bricks that fill the shipyards.
