[DiD] The Rise And Rise of Mechanis D'Advent (warning-spoilers and sillyness.)

[Mechanis]

Base start - anonymous argon
Mods-
FCC so complexes aren't a pain
Binaryboy's jumppoint flatpacks
lazcorp claim sector
Marcon Main menu-I don't use this often, But it is a good way to keep from loosing those unlisted TS's
Davetech point-to-point patrol
Graxter move and rotate objects
EMP libraries
flak volume reducer-very nice, that.
DDTC v 1.0
I've tinkered with some of the ships, so some might be faster/ have more sheilds, ETC, and many ships mount kyons
Cycrow's cheat scripts are there to simulate the Ancient Jumpdrive and set it all up.

I can't believe I got away with it! after that merc showed up and blew my power base in savage spur all to hell, and followed up with the systematic destruction of all my remaining assets, I thought I was done for! I managed to get away from my carrier- In an M5. I mean, ME? Reduced to running for my life in a bloody Discoverer? Sheesh! guy had this ship that managed to do something weird with jump fields...But you don't get to be a pirate overlord without learning a few tricks of you own, and I cornered him in a split dock and shot him three times in the face at point-blank range, And I'll bet that didn't tickle! nabbed his ship and went to and old friend who was a bit of a specialist in new Identities. so here I am, Black hole sun, sitting pretty with one of the most tricked-out ships I've ever seen. I don't presume to know how but this guy somehow managed to mount freaking Khaak lasers on his ship! and sitting right next to the regular power is what looks like a modified Titan power generator! And to top it all off, there's a massive power shunt foe E-cells, and I've no idea where it goes!
ahh well. I think It's time I see if the argon government is needing mercs, I've barely 2500 credits to my name, and I can't even imagine the kind of...attention I could get if this thing was ever inspected! I think I'll stick with some nice, simple go here-kill this missions and get good with the feds, and hopefully line my pockets in the process....

Well, there wasn't any work there, so I'm heading to Nathan's voyage. Perhaps there'll be something there I could do, maybe offload some of these bloody meatsteaks. *muttering* swear I've got enough to last a bloody siege, what the devil did that guy need 'em for anyways?
{End log}

{begin log: 8:33 pm Terren Pacific time:}
Whoo! The PPC fab in Nathen's voyage needed cahoonas, so I offloaded mine onto them with a cool 9900 creds in profit. not bad for a starter run, If I do say so myself! Well, onward to glory! or better yet, trillionarehood!
{end Log}

Status update:
-100 meatsteak cahoonas
+9900 credits (total 12,400)

{begin log- 8:45, TPT (Terran Pacific time):}
well the trading station was having a sale on engine tuneings and I'm afraid I splerged a bit. My ship's up 25 m/s from before, but I'm down 9067 creds. I need to find a job, and fast! wonder If I could take out a few old rivals to make some quick creds...
{End Log}

Status change:
-9067 credits (total 3333)
Ship current speed (Max) up to 125 m/s

{begin log, TPT 10:28:}
HA! got you, ya little bugger! whups, this thing on? well anyway, I finally figured out what that power shunt goes to, and I can hardly believe it myself! some sort of suped-up jumpdrive. the center looks like a normal drive, but I'll be dammed is I know what all the rest of this is. looks like that shunt connects to the Titan plant too, and from what I can tell, the E-cell shunt is for a normal jumpdrive... but I couldn't see what all that extra power war for! but now I've found this! apparently, all the extra apparatus is an ancient device allowing instantaneous gateless jumps! Anywhere! any time! even between two points in one sector! It uses a collosol amount of power though, apparently It was easier to warp in with a standard jumpdrive, then hop around the sector drawing power for the short hops from the extra plant... no wonder this guy took out my entire organization!
{end log}

Now active:
Ancient Jumpdrive- sector-to-sector still requires E-cells to power normal jumpdrive, but in-sector jumps simulated with cycrow's "Warp to sector" command.
-Added Jumpdrive to installed systems.

{Begin supplemental log, TPT 11:00:}
Woohoo! I got a job! I was contacted by one Halen Braks, who is paying me to blow Xenon sky-high for the Argon military! this should be a walk in the park!
{End Supplemental log}

{Begin Log, TPT 11:15:}
Whell I took out the xenon, no sweat, nabbed some pirates too, and now Im sitting in dock at Treasure Chest for some leave. Imma gonna hit the bars and get piss roaring Drunk! Whoo!

eenteresting... apparently the Argon think that they need to show off to the recently arrived Terrans... most interesting indeed... there was a time when the very thought of escorting diplomats for anybody made me laugh, but times are hard, as they say. well this promises to be interesting, perhaps a job that's a little more involved than others...

Started main plot (Terran Conflict)

"Side-switching is simply not part of Argon character." *Muffled giggling* AHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, man those argon military pukes are sooooo funny! Hahaha... as if I'm not gonna get good with the people that make ships on the same scale the boron build stations.... what a jive! anyway, I fully expect to be put on the most boring, humdrum, nonsensitive duty they can find, so I'm gonna skip work for a bit. maybe I'll work my way to argon prime, and hope the new ID holds up. eh, I dunno. I'll find something to do, anyhow, and It'll probably involve someone getting seriously dead.
