Captain Maeven Hall

Took possession of my new Marauder today. Her name is Siren's Song, and she's small. The guns are useless. The bay is tiny, but she's all mine.

My first goal is to get her upgraded, and it's going to take some credit. I plan to spend the first week out in Farpoint1 mining until I can afford a few things.

I received a communication this morning from a Captain Olfart. I don't think that's his real name, but he owns half the galaxy apparently. He's looking for Data Cubes and wants suppliers. Frankly, I'm prepared to do anything to get my girl going. Fortunately, he seems decent enough right now.

For the moment, I intend to make this ship self-reliant by making my own EBKs in dock. Plasteel is damn hard to come by though. I'll be working out of Paradise, until Siren is ready to head out into contested space. The crowded settlement isn't helping my sunny disposition at all. It will be good to see the back of civilization one of these days.

My New Life

I've never been much of the gaming kind. There were things to do, but, recently all that changed when I found a game out of Great Britain called Core Exiles. It's addicting. It's complicated, and it's fun.

You get a ship and take off to be whatever you want in the galaxy; privateer, pirate, or entrepreneur. The game steers you in the right direction, while still allowing you to pick your own direction. It's right up my alley since I hate to be told what to do, especially in my leisure time.

In fact, the game is so good that I thought I'd blog it. My reasons are partly selfish, as there's a lot to remember and writing something helps me remember it, but I'd also like to show off this involved piece of work that's floating around out there. It's really good work.

Just for fun, I'll write my captain's log. I know it's not original or anything, but it's my blog after all.
