I want it, but cannot have it!! [Screenshot]
There i was exploring the outer reaches of the galaxy, when after a standard jump to some god forsaken system, i was thrown into conflict to help save a pathetic freighter captain. (Yet again!)
Of course I was more than happy to help, I wanted to rinse him for all the goods I could afterwards! ☠️
Having done my "civic" duty i boarded the freighter in order to cash in. Imagine my shock to find this beautiful Zebra Squid "S" class just waiting to be stolen, I mean purchased!
I was about to offer the captain a "reasonable" amount of units, (yes i was about to low ball him) only to find my ship inventory full and an exchange only possible!
Well sod that, there was noway i was up for that! I mean it was a beauty, but not worth a direct trade. (Rouge Pirate ships are hard to come by of my class)
Panic set in, this dirt bag was about to lift off with MY SHIP!!! Quick as a flash i jumped into my cockpit, calling forth my freighter. There was no delay, minutes later i was at my freighter console "archiving" some ships.
The stress was building, what if he was GONE, what if the freighter captain had jumped to light speed. NO I thought, he is in my debt, there is noway in hell he had the balls to jump without my payment!
Jumping back into my ship i skip lagged straight over to the waiting freighter, I was right. A weak, pathetic captain too scared to jump without paying up!
I quick scan of the freighter bay and MY ship was nowhere to be found! Don't panic i thought, I know he will be back... (did i??)
10 minutes past, 20 minutes, then finally after what felt like the longest jump of my life he returned!!!
No time to waste, I pulled my Boltcaster and shoved it in the captains spine. The deal was done in a matter of minutes, yes I was 23m units lighter, however..
I WANTED IT, AND I GOT IT...
Just before leaving the freighter I popped up to see...
