He could paint over it, but it would come off as soon as I made a planetfall or got hit with some laser fire. He said the only way to actually fix it will to be to get all the affected hull plates replaced. I asked him how much for that, and he tells me he doesn't have the parts in stock. Come on, what sort of station repair bay doesn't stock parts for a Cobra MKIII??? | ||

| + | |||
| + | When I argued against the bill for all that, the station security officer showed up and gave me a little talk about how the fees from the safety inspections support the station and etc. While he was talking, I saw one of the kids who had been outside Starbugs dart past.

The Teonan Web
Soorte is member of The Teonan Web.
The Traders Almanach
| If the limiting factor is the size of the cargo bay, you've got to get the best gain per unit: You can't do anything wrong with buying Soortese Thso-fleeces here. You've got the choice to move them to Aatenbe or Edsodi with a plus of 21.0 Credits per ton, with Teonan being the second choice in destinations and Ramaza last. |
