I love it. It's like wiping your ass with silk.
+1000!

I have never owned a PC. And if I have my way, I never will. I'm forced to use the cursed things at work, and it always takes about seven times longer to do things than it should. My Macs, I turn 'em on, and they just work.

So far, I'm up to an Armored Transport (that thing with the cow catcher on the front) and a personal worth of about 5.5 mil. I should be able to buy a Firefly in a week or two. Right now, I'm trying to kill me a load (500+) of Xenos (weak enemies), to sell somewhere up "north", for $4000 a piece.
I was wanting to haul VIPs from Cambridge to, again, somewhere up "north" (buyin at 4000ish then selling for $10,000ish each = $6000 per!). But it turned out, 1 VIP took 5 units of cargo space. So what should be a 3 mil load, is only 600k. Darn.

WeeeeEEEE!!!! I have a Firefly!
Not the greatest texture job in the 'verse (kinda blurry), but the 3D form is just right. I can't stay out of turret view for very long, I'm constantly looking at it.
Here's how I earned it:
Boron from Ft. Bush (188) to LD-14 (1440).
Prisoners from Luxury Liner Shetland (750ish) to Planet N. Berlin (2500).
Gun Turrets from Planet Stuttgart (602) to Battleship Myoko (2345).
Carradine from Planet Malta (300) to Manhattan (2599).
Traded up from one of those Rhineland freighters; halfway between a Humpback and battleship.

Gratz!
Now get some transport guns on that puppy, Lv3 or 4, and a heavy molecular shield, and you'll be set up nice n pretty.

I found these HUGE ASS (they take *actual* space in the hold) Lvl 7 turrets from some wreak somewhere. Slow as hell, but they hit about 900 hull damage each. Got them when I still had that Armored Transport, and they were way too big, it looked kind of awkward. Think R2-D2 with multiple domes. They fit the Firefly just right though.
And for the shield, I bought one with about 100,000 units, and a fast regen rate. Just about every time I get a new shield, I take a run through the Zone 21 minefield, to see how close to the jump gate I can get before the ship disintegrates. I think so far I'm down to 15k.
I wonder if this is what the Kessel Run is like.
It's fun to go from lasting only a couple seconds in a fight with high level pirates (Damn Nomads!) to, well, like Buffy in "Restless" when the first slayer is stabbing her.
Buffy: "Are you quite finished. It's over, okay? I'm going to ignore you, and you're going to go away. You're really going to have to get over the whole primal power thing. You're not the source of me. Also, in terms of hair care, you really want to say, what kind of impression am I making in the workplace? 'Cause..."

Questions:
When you first switched on the mod (with FLMM), there should have been an options config thing. Did you do that? Some of the options are: starting location, starting money, *enable spinning planets, etc.
Did you enable OpenSP?
Did you mean "Omicron Lost" or "....Omicron. Lost..."? There's a few Omicrons, usually out in the middle of nowhere.
Where is Kruile?
Are you talking story missions? If you have OpenSP enabled there is no story. You have to take jobs from bars or trade commodities to earn money
*(I recommend NOT enabling spinning planets. When I enter the New Tokyo System, Planet Fuji starts spinning and constantly accelerates until its a damn blur! It kinda frightens me, and I get a little sick looking at it. I feel sorry for anyone living on it. Luckly, it's uninhabited.)

Problem with that is they eat power like mad, and in a sustained firefight that's troublesome, especially since my shield eats so much juice.
You sure about that 100k ?
Cause unless I am lookin at the wrong numbers, I gotta Molecular on mine with about 600k backin it - it's not even technically the right kinda shield, but hey, if it fits, right ?
"Yo Kaylee, wire this up for me!"
I can just see that, hehehe
Omicron Lost is dead center Nomad turf, you don't wanna be there, unless you're lookin to buy a Battlestar Advanced, cause I think there's one for sale out there, good luck affording it though - no fighters either, which is kinda meh, since a Battlestar is a carrier primarily.
Remember my advisement about backup saves and docking, as well - getting permanently hung up and having to start over is a nightmare.

100k is the biggest one I've found so far. I've certainly got enough cashy money to buy another.
Only troubles I've had with stations are the smaller astroid bases. When taking off, my ship gets stuck in TWO hangers. ARRGH!
So Omicron Lost is an actual place? Ohhhh. I'd better explore some more. Carefully.
Altogether now: "Damn Nomads!"

Indeed.
Although here's a tip, occasionally you can jack one of them guns they use, left over when you blow em to flinders - as you're well aware, nasty, and they use no power to fire.
(Correction, in FL Discovery they do, but not much)
