I got a little scout and picked up three antimatter cells so I guess I’m ready for the next part of the main quest. I feel bad for the pilot I hired to fly it, as I have a feeling he’s not going to make it out of this.
I picked up a miner as well and I got it to (automatically) fill up with silicon, which was cool. But then I had to manually tell it to sell at the silicon refinery. I suppose there’s probably a way to do it automatically, so I’ll figure that out. Also, is it worth filling it up with crew? The crew are pretty cheap to hire, but do I have to pay salaries? (It’s not listed anywhere AFAICT.)
I also found a freighter called “Visitor 92” just sitting around doing nothing. I wonder what that’s about.
